AVERY PRODUCTS CORPORATION 415 Huntington Dr., San Marino, Calif. 91108 September 9, 1966 Telephone (213) 682-2812 The Honorable Ivan Allen, Jr. Mayor of Atlanta Georgia My dear Mayor Allen: In this morning's issue of the "Los Angeles Times," I read with great admiration a rather extended series of remarks attributed to you relative to the problems of desegregation in Atlanta and nationally. I have mentioned this matter to several other executives in our company and find that they, too, were greatly impressed with both the clarity and honesty of your views as well as your fortitude in expressing them. Your forthright acceptance of the responsibility of your community for all of its citizens is refreshing, to say the least. Your equally forthright action against clearly disruptive elements is equally sound and refreshing . Very sincerely, ?.4.~ R. S. Avery Board Cha i rman RSA nl �
