Ivan:
Virgil Copeland called me and said that he had been talking to C. A. Scott

(Mr. Scott had called me, too and I returned his call and he's out till 2:30)

Virgil said that Mr. Scott told him that he thought they
had not been talking to the right Negroes. . .Mr. Scott is doing a couple
of articles showing the "other side'' and suggested that Virgil get in touch
with the Atlanta Negro Voters League.

Virgil. said he told Scott that he thought that was an excellent
suggestion, and he said to me that ''even though the barrier is up we
would like to reach a more favorable solution, and we don't xa want
you to have to take the brunt of all the bad publicity".

He wants you advice as to how to go about re opening the

subject in order to get together with the Voters-League,
