You are to be admired for your character and courage in speaking out about the lack cf ability of Mr. ^'^addox. I hope you and your fellow citizens will be aiccessful, and vd.ll ultimately prevail.
Sincee^ y^
Mrs.l.w'.Forrester, Jr. Dear Mr. Mayor:
Because I am sure you have received a number of letters criticizing you for your forthright statements against Maddox, I want to send my earnest respects to a man who had the courage to spell out bluntly to we Georgians the mess in which we find ourselves. If more politicians were like you and Mr. Weltner, how much better off would our country be!
And while I am at it, let me praise you for your courage during the riots. I hold my head higher because Atlanta has a mayor of your caliber.

R Saturday, October 1, 1966 * The Christian Science Monitor limps FAMILY FEATURES 9*P(f Dialogue with youth By Erwin D, Canliam Editor in chief of The Christian Science Monitor Reader: Would you please comment on the operation and purpose of the "spoils system"? To most Australians this sys- tem seems to be a form of corruption built into the political system. Do you approve of it? _ Anna a. Victoria, Australia E. D. C.: The "spoils system" is a form of m corruption built into the political system. , You are quite right. It comes from the ■ phrase, "To the victor belongs the spoils." It used to prevail in the United States, and it did so previously in Great Britain and elsewhere. Government servants held their appointments at the pleasure of a political patron. Now the system has been largely replaced by civil service. In the United States, the civil service does not extend quite so high up in political rank as in Great Britain. This is partly because American administrations do not usually change as often as in parliamentary countries. It would be impossible in Brit ain or Australia to clear out the second and third rank of officials in government departments whenever the government changed.

Harvard, Roseburg, Oregon WHAT IS THE MOST IMPORTANT THING YOU SHOULD DO BEFORE YOU DIE Most people would say to make a will .. . others might say to get your affairs straight .. . some might say to be sure and purchase a cemetery lot. As you read thru this short note, you will come to the same answer I found in my life in 1950. I have found it to be so wonderful that I want you to know it is the most imperative thing in your life, and it should be attended to at once. May you continue to read to the last word. 1. God loves you and this fact alone is exciting. "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whoso ever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." John 3:16 2. You are a sinner and condemned to death as such. Romans 3:23 tells us "For all have sinned and come short of the glory of God." Romans 6:23 tells us "The wages of- sin is death; but the gift of God is eter nal life through Jesus Christ our Lord." The Bihle warns us over and over this eter nal death is in a lake of living fire. 3. As sinners we are separated from God and cannot experience this love that he has for us. Therefore the question now is; how can we be reconciled to God and what can we do about this sin problem. Can we work our way into the grace of God by our talent, good works, money, intellect, or by our good looks ... we can try the best we can but each of us must come to the fact that what we do ourselves is temporary and not lasting. We find in John 14:6 Jesus tells us "I am the way, the truth, and the life; no man cometh unto the Father, but by me." We find in Romans 5:8 "But God commend- eth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us." 4. It would be well for you to now read John 3:1-8, for in this passage Jesus tells Nicodemus three times in eight verses "Ye must be bom again." Now keep in mind Nicodemus was a very religious man, a good man, a wealthy man, a well educated man and a good family man . . . but Jesus told him "Ye must be bom again." What Jesus told him was that he had been bom the first time physically and in sin, and that he needed to be born again spiritually. With this new birth he would be entirely new, not made over. In fact a new baby. 5. Now for the answer to the question, "What is the most important thing you should do before you die?" The answer is to accept Jesus Christ as your personal Lord and Saviour, asking Him to come into your life, to forgive your sins by washing them in the blood He shed for you, to be the Lord of your life, that you surrender your will, emotions and intellect fully to Him. Not just to know about Him, or to think the church can take you to heaven; but in hav ing this personal relationship with Him and in inviting Him into your heart. John 1:12 tells us "But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name." Revelation 3:20 tells us, and this is Jesus speaking, "Behold I stand at the door and knock [this is the door of your heart]: if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come into him, and will sup with him, and he with me." Won't you do it? Have you invited Jesus into your life, to be the Lord of your life? If not, why not do it right now. Bow your head, talk to Him as you would your very best friend, tell Him you are a sinner, ask Him to for give you, to come into your heart to be the Lord of your life, that you surrender your will, emotions and intellect to Him. Now thank Him for coming in. Did He come in and how do you know? He said He would come in (Rev. 3:20) not by feeling but by faith. It is by the testi mony of the Word of God. "And this is the record, that God hath given to us eternal life, and this life is in his Son. He that hath the Son hath life; and he that hath not the Son of God hath not life. These things have I written unto you that believe on the name.of the Son of God; that ye may know that ye have eteri^ nal life, and that ye may believe on the name of the Son of God."

Now, I am disappointed.

Shiver P.O. Box 749 Fort Myers, Fla<, Septo, 30 1966 Mayor Ivan Allen, Jr® Atlanta, Georgia Dear Sir; First, I agree fully with your statement in regards t® the election of Mr<, Maddoxo I write this to you in the Interest of common sense, and a plea for sanity, if it can be cbtainedp My background, ten years military, studied and pract iced law - Navy, a discipline administrator and now an Acceuntanto The Civil Rights movement and the racial riots are two complete problems, the first h^s been made int® law and in time will work it self out, but push it, more problems will be created. The racial issue or riots are riots, a fair but firm stand through law enforcement plus some problem solving will element that ill. But, it seems t© me that the voting public has now lot their emotions become inflamed, wlt:h that, their logical approach to the matter is hard to appeal te. Prom all the material I have read, and it started coming out in early 1966, The choice of candidates was limited. The defeat of Mr, Arnold seems to bo a defeat put-forth to President Johnson, As for Mr O Maddox, that is just inflamed emotional voting. You know this as well as myself, I am fully aware of the growth of your state and the economic stability you now enjoy. The state of Georgia no longer has to depend upon the seasiokal income of the farmer. Cotton, peanuts, patotes, etc are of the past. (1) Georgia's ecsnomic condition, is known t© you much better than myself, but I do know that it is much better than the state af Florida. \l!e have our pro blems to, but Georgia has too much to lease. To myself, there is but one thing to do, protect the eaonamic growth (money). Yau now have Mr. Maddex and Mr. Gallaway to be elected in November0 As for Mr. Maddax, there seems to bo a lot of doubt in hia being an administrator. He has come out with a platform of the broken record of Guide Lines. That point even if voted into law, is doomed to failure and your state may well end up with a large deficit. Mr. Wallace's plain is going to end in the same results. Plus being in the RED. The Igw is the law. Mr, Gallaway, as I understand, is a man oi wealth in his own right. He then should understand the laws Oi economics. Mr, Johnson violated them. My main point is this, the national picture is not good at the present time, nor does it show any signs of getting better, before it gets worse. The balance af payments are lagging by ten years, more money is going out, than coming in. That acccmt is out of balance. What is coming in, is for gold. Inflation is n®w a reality and will only increase. Next August will bo felt hard. Then you will have a few measure"^ to control these conditions, but at the other end there is delfation. One extreme to the other. People are talking, writing, calling recession, de pression and inflation. Their ideals of this con dition are destorted. Its one extreme to the other, but the middle ground is the problem. The national grouch is the ills or symptons, but the ill is the gold and balance of payments. Please boar in mind, to fight a war on a long term basis, one needs money, not paper; but gold t© back that paper up. To save words and space, you are aware of the condition, if the people emotions are inflamed now, just waite until their pocket books hurt. (2) Eeoklng at the national picture, one that understands it, can very easily focus it down to the state and lo cal levslo There are two examples I wish to suggest, 1, In Europe from last figures, they hold 28-29 Billion in dollars. Gold on hand is 4 Billion for exchange, 10 Billion in reserve, giving a fe etal ©f 14 Billiono That gold is dropping every month, Mr. Johnson has entered into agreements in this matter, and borrowed 4,5 Billion more. Total 9 Billion in liabilities. It is robbing Peter to Pay Paul, and is only a short tenn cure, 2, The construction business has had 4,5 billion dollars ptmaped int® it, the Interest rates have been leveled off, keeping them in line, but the banks are still short of cash to loan, plus their interest income is still high. This money hps not been of ts® much help, because the contractors can not borrow the needed money to start construction. No con struction, no mortgages. Their picture is n«t bright, N© wonder it looked like deficit spending. In Atlanta there are 40 saving and laans associations. Their Picture should not be any brighter than others. If one is going to wind up with a deficit, lets not make it any bigger. Everything in the national pic ture will affect the states, down to the people. Some haw, some where - only you know. Put these issues before the people, not this emotional race arguement. To myself it is this, my stomach comes before pride. My family argues the race issue, but not myself. When a client comes in to get the final results. If ho has a profit, I am the good guy, if he is broke, I am the biggest SOB walking. The same applies to taxes, If I can be ©f assistance through writing, having ©a hand much material and facts, plus sending out articles all over. Please feel free to ask, I take no ^des, but bring out the issues, and never let up. (S) Just thinking out loudo We nov/ have a backlash Pattern, just what started it# Your riot could have been'aimed at awing the public from one extreme to the othero Your lav; enforcement agancy couldn't be broken down, but the riots could enflame the emotions of the votes, making them swing to the other extremeo President Johnson is losing favor, so there is one v/ay to look at ito This pattern is not new, it is quite oldo Hitler start ed these ideas and made them werk.

Mayor Ivan AUen Jr. of At lanta has been lately in the news, his city having been the scene of racial rioting even though it is the most advanced of major Southern cities in the enlightened handling of its racial problems. Mayor Al len not only acknowledges the problems but concedes that his city has not progressed as fast as desirable in eliminating them. In stark contrast to most Southern politicians, he testified in favor of the public accommoda tions section of the Civd Rights Act of 1964, saying Federal law in this area was necessary; he has favored the open occupancy section of the civil rights bill which passed the House of Repre sentatives, Throughout the rioting in his city. Mayor Allen was on the scene, in the thick of it, literally risking life and limb. He didn't remember a speech he had to give in another part of the state, excuse himself from duty and take off. He didn't limit his efforts to the obvious cries for support of the police in the face of violence. He worked closely and constant ly with Negroes and whites trying to restore order. One has the feeling that if Mayor Allen of Atlanta were ap pearing before a Senate commit tee there would be no need for questioning concerning his lead ership abilities, but that if such questions were asked, and no matter how severely phrased, he would have meaningful answers, for his city and for himself. He ^ wouldn't plead helplessness. ) There are mayors and there i are mayors. t / r / 9961 i I r Wd * it;'()jS V- Ifrs.
