Hon. Ivan Allen, Jre
City Hall
Atlanta, Georgia

My dear Mayor Allen:

We were interested to see the shots of yourself
handling the riot in Atlanta, on the TV this evening.

You way be assured that willions of people in the North

sympathize with your problem in attempting to better the

condition of the underprivileged -- while your efforts
are haustrung by the professional trouble-wakers and
provoeateurs who deliberately ineite to riot under

the cloak of "prowoting eivil rights."

As you stated in your eousents, there is no exeuse
whatsoever for any groups of people to riot in our
streets, and it is to be hoped that you will eontinue
to deal with any such attempts with a firm hand.

With all good wishes, I au



George Weiss
