17 FIFTEEN FIFTY BISCAYNE BOULEVARD MIAMI , FLORIDA 33132 TELEPHONE 377-4781 MEMBER FEDERAL RESERVE FEDERAL DEPOS IT INSURANCE CORPORATI ON September 8, 1966 The Honorable J. P. 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. B a rber , !E>fe sident �
