""-~ �A·nd ""i7nlike the "";"rthe rn riots, where agitators are generally blamed but unnamed, Atlanta . put t he finger of blame on Stokely , Carmichael and his wild SNCC crew who were on the scene as big as life. The showdown between Atlanta and SNCC was bound to come. Atlanta is obsessed with. its image of progress and SNCC is obsessed with smashing images. That Atlanta is a city of comparative racial progress cannot be doubted. Such progress has been hammered ou,t by its white power structure and its Negro leadership, operating through the Summit Leadership Cpnferehce coalition. The city sends racial liberals, by aJl Southern and most orthern standards, to Congress. Its Negroes vote. Integrated high school football games are played without. incident. com mu nit y F ourteen schools for poor people are operating at night. Atlanta's antipoverty program has been praised as a model. For a quarter of a century, the mayors of Atlanta- first Willlam Hartsfield and now Ivan Allenhave been moderate to liberal, racially. Mayor Allen supported the 1964 Civil Rights Act and now supports the 1966 one. Allen has a nearly daily habit of riding to work by way of Atlanta's slums, several relatively small pockets of shacks, and harassing his department heads to clean up streets. He had a tudy made of all available Federal aid and goes after every penny he can get. Yet there is another side to Atlanta. Racial progress at t imes has been grudging. Eight Atlanta hospitals are under a Federal ul timatum t o stop discrimination by next Thursday or face withdrawa l of Federal funds. Allen and Atlanta were able to swiftly clear a slum and huild an $18 million municipal stadium for the baseball Braves and football Falcons to clinch the status of a Big League city, but don't seem able to clear other slums and provide decent housing as swiftly or with the same determination. For all its progress and shining image, Atlanta hasn't been able to reach down yet t o the poor Negro who, as in other cities, has poor housing, poor jobs if jobs at all, and poor schools. SNCC had been showing �-l, 4(y'l JrouM- GLll w.__ ~,~zJ& . Q~\OA-. Jl , . ·l - ���,, EQUIP' HOTE SALON HOTE L! ,,. Tn e Honorable Ivan lien, Mayor Of'fi c e of t . e Mayor tlanta, Georgia ~TATS-UNIS

I look for an influx of people wanting to reside in Atlanta where there is some modicum of safety in our formerly safe country. To see you -- a slight, grey-haired man -- full of sincerity in trying to restore order, on top of that car being shaken so that you had to jump, spoke great courage in action, and is the kind of match America needs towards all of these troublesome "youths" and hoodlums. I wish other representatives of the people in state governments, and in national and federal posts, would show that kind of courage in handling the infiltrators and agitators who have been stirring up trouble ever since these so-called marches, and other distrubing riots of greater or lesser degree started.

Allen, Jr. Mayor of the City of Atlanta City Hall, Atlanta, Georgia Sir: Let me commend you on the handling of the recent riot in Atlanta. There is enclosed a pamphlet which I think you will appreciate reading about Communists and the manner in which they operate. I think you will see a close relation with the statement of Gus Hall, General Secretary, Communist Party, USA and the riot that was held in Atlanta. You will probably remember I was with the Federal Reserve in Atlanta for twenty years and am thoroughly familiar with your family background and I know you have and are doing a good job. The reason for this letter is simply to congratulate you on seeing and understanding the real cause of the riot. J EJB : ek Etrn st J.

We've got the ••• DuBois Clubs, the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee , and Students for a Democratic Society going for us ••• " Gus Ha 11, Genera I Secretary, Communist Party, USA COMMUNIST ATTACK ON YOUTH - XVII When the Democratic National Convention was being held in Atlantic City, continued attempts to disrupt the convention were made by Negro demonstrators who kept up their demands, despite compromise attempts, that the Mississippi Freedom Democrats be seated. The demonstrators were members of the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee (SNCC - pronounced SNICK), often described in the press as one of the largest, most militant and radical organizations of the New Left. In Selma, Alabama, in early March 1965, fiery SNCC leaders wanted to continue their march to lvbntgomery despite a court order forbidding it. Only intervention by Federal Conciliator LeRoy Collins prevented it. A few weeks later, despite a voting rights speech to Congress by President Lyndon B. Johnson, SNCC continued to picket the White House and threatened further demonstrations. This induced the "Washington Post" to say SNCC members appeared to be "driven by folly to demonstrate for the sheer, sterile sake of demonstration." S NCC and its demonstrations go back to 1960 and the first lunch counter sit-ins, when the organization was formed to foster the growth of civil rights agitation. According to the II New York Times , 11 S NCCwas born April 17, 1960, by about 300 people, almost all of them Negro youths, and has since become the inspiration for all the organizations of the new student left. "The Saturday Evening Post" of May 8, 1965, reported that SNCC "is a wonder, perfectly desi gned to fit the anarchic student temper. It has a full-time staff of 230 but no membership . Its broad base is a separate group called Friends of S.N . C.C., which has 150 chapters, two th irds of them on campus ." The arti cle says SNCC leaders travel a far - left dinner circuit, "where they are sometimes lucid, sometimes totally bewildering, 11 and it quotes a government investigator as saying th a t SNCC has been "thoroughly infiltrated by Communists." A report by the Louisiana Joint Legislative Committee concurs , saying SNCC is "substantially under th e influence of the Communist Party. 11 SNCC officials admit no effort has been made to pu rge Commu nists from the membership. "We have no political test fo r membership and we never will have," a SNCC Washington official said. 11 Newsweek" quoted another official as admitting that Communist Party members had gone to Alabama and Mississippi to work with S NCC.

ALL-AMERICAN CONFERENCE TO COMBAT COMMUNISM . 1963 AND 1 965 . �The Washington Star 11 revealed that the organization hoped to establish "Friends of SNCC 11 groups in "uncommitted" nations around the world. "Such foreign affiliates of SNCC, 11 reporter Walter Pincus wrote, "could present Communist parties around the world with a ready-made organizational weapon for stirring up anti-American sentiments." lvbny troubled observers have pointed out that it makes little difference whether or not SNCC radicals are Communists: 11 lf they do the same things, it may not make much difference what kind of cards they carry." 11 This emphasizes the interesting transition SNCC has made from the civil rights field, for which it was organized, to its invasion of the field of foreign policy. It was one of the leaders in the Washington demonstrations August 6-9, 1965, when sit-ins were staged at the Capital, the White House gates were blocked and Communist publications, such as "The Worker, 11 were distributed. A SNCC leader was among those arrested by Washington police. SNCC made its position clear in a statement in the March-April 1966 issue of" Insurgent" published by the DuBois Clubs: "The Student Nonviolent Coordiroting Committee has a right and a responsibility to dissent with United States foreign policy on any issue when it sees fit ••• We maintain that our country's cry of 'preserve freedom in the world' is a hypocritical mask behind which it squashes liberation movements which are not bound, and refuse to be bou-na~... by fhe -expedierici es of United States cold war policies . 11 SNCC on the draft: "We are in sympathy with, and support, the men in this country who are unwilling to respond to a military draft which would compel them to contribute their lives to United States aggression in Vietnam in the name of the 'freedom' we find so false in this country. 11 The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People immediately disassociated itself from the SNCC position and pointed out that some SNCC workers are becoming disinterested in civil rights and are turning to peace demonstrations. But SNCC's radical approach evidently was not radical enough. United Press International reported from Atlanta May 17, 1966: "Two of the nation's most militant civil rights leaders, John Lewis and James Foreman, have been deposed by the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee (SNCC). One source said they were considered 'too moderate.' SNCC ormounced the changesc Stokeley Carmichael, a founder of the all-Negro 'Black Panther Political Party' in Alabama, was named to succeed Lewis as SNCC chairman and he promptly announced the orga'"'ization would ' intensify its efforts in the area of independent politics.'" A "Miami Herald 11 story of July 1 quoted Carmicha e l as saying: "We inte nd to disrupt every pi ec e of (political) machinery in this country. 11 Later in May, Carmichael snubbed President Johnson's invitation to a White House conference on civil rights, announced SNCC will continu e to organi ze all - Negro political parties under the Black Panth er emblem and refused to bar Communists, saying: "We are requiring no loyalty oaths. " During the Meredith Mississippi Norch in June, he espoused a "black power" doctrine and another SNCC spokesman threatened a deputy sheriff in one town that if he didn't behave, the marchers 11will burn that courthouse, baby." On a television program, Carmichael stopped just short of advocating that Negroes resort to any means to achi eve equality: "I've never rejected viol enc e as a means to obtain an end, " he said. Columnist Joseph Alsop summed up th e situation: "In the person of Stoke ley Carmichael extremism has active ly taken over SNCC ••• " Communist Gus Hall, in summing up the records of the DuBois Clubs, Students for a Democratic Society and SNCC, said: "They're just part of the 'respons ibl e left' - that portion of American yo uth that reali z es society is sick."

I for one, sincerely hope this incident wil l not dim your si ghts for Equality , nor reduce your efforts to make Atlanta the grea t city it can become. I'm certain t he Good Will Committee hastily organized, is an indication of the strong desire of Atlantans to hel p you. I've be en in at least thirty major South ern cities i n the past four years and none, absolutely none, ha s yet reached the climate of good will t hat exists in Atlanta. The neares t in spirit and cooperation to Atlanta that I found, was Roanoke, Virginia. You may not remember me but in 1961 the late Trezzvant Anderson, Reporter f or the Pittsburgh Couri er , introduced you to me and we chatted at your Mayoral headquqrter s for al most an hour. I recall so well you saying •••• "A few y ea rs a go I was an avowed s egregationist but I know now, tha t we must get on with the job of building a gr eater Atlanta, a grea ter Georgi a , a grea ter Southland, and t hus, a grea ter America." Henry Aaron of your bas6ball team, is a go od friend of mine, and h e ha s said many nice t hings abou t you and your efforts to bring about equality fo r all people in the city. I also know you have been forced to bear considerable abuse, a s has Ral ph McGill and others , for your policy in this r egard but you hav e held your ground. Plea se don 't count t his as f lattery, I just want you to know you have t .ou sands of fri ends a cro ss the coun try who appr eciat e what you have done i n r ecent years . Moreover, we woul d not like to s ee you become discouraged . I hav e been wi t h t he American Broad cas t ing Company, stationed a t the Unived Nation s , since 1962 but this l etter is sent on a personal ba sis. Maybe one of these days we can ar range an i nt erview to tal k abou t the Winds of Change " in At lanta. Good luck . I counted the l ate Br anch Ri ckey a s a good friend and was privileged to tal k with him many t i mes i n the f ities when he r es i ded in Pitts burgh.

B. J 1 s whipping boy). We know, better than aey one else, what you are up against w.i.th these race riots. Yes, what you have recent'.cy' experienced, in Atlanta, is an ug'.cy' race riot that no amount of managed publicity can transform into a piecful demonstration. It was an ug'.cy', violent, defiance of the law by an unru]y mob of aggitators and misguided scum, yet, according to the ne,;,rs media you excused it and apologized for them by saying and I quote" That all of this is brought on by cities not growing properly. I guess we've got to build better cities. We've got to impr ove opportunites and education far all of our people". Even though you was insulted physically and verbally abused you assured this mob that the law was present to protect them not the innocent law abiding citizens who need and are entitled to protection from that mob of scum, dope addicts, beatniks and u ~ comlllUnist. As long as you and other elected officials, tbrou.ghout this Great Land, don't have what it takes to stand up and be counted and stamp out the Stokley Carmichael' s and the_ like, this mob violence is bound to get worse. So, why don't you quit appeasing, apologizing and making excuses and take an honorable stand for your GREAT STATE and your GREAT CITY. Let it be known that these L.B. Jc sanction punks cannot come into your city and insight a riot and get away with it. Let it be known, by action, not by words that they will be dealt with very quickly and very firmly. Have you got what it takes to stand up and be counted? Once your city heads down that road of lawliness and violence you will find it to be four ti.ms as far back up as it was dm-m. Action is the answer. SK:wj �Tehachapi California. September 13, 1966. The Honorable Ivan Allen, Jr. MAYOR, City of Atlanta Atlanta, Georgia.

II II I am not one of the types that immediately fire letters to newspapers and public officials bn every controversial matter. It may be that I as well as others should do more of it. I do feel compelled to write, commending and congratulating you on your handling of the problem as I have seen it expressed in the newspapers and on television. It is very heartening to know that there are still some elected officials who have a sense of responsibility and obligation to protect the rights and privileges of their constituents as a whole, rather than to pressure groups, purely with the thought in mind of perpetuating a regime. It is quite a paradox for us to be sending our young men to Viet Nam and other foreign countries to guard against insurrection and invasion of the rights of people while permitting it to go along virtually unchecked in this country of ours. May the Supreme Architect of the Universe continue to provide you with the wisdom and fortitude to discharge your responsibilities in the be st interest of all people. Very truly yours, C . W .
