City 'Sitting on Powder Keg' of Racial Feelings
Atlanta People Uneasy After Narrow rowly Averting Open Outbreak
atlanta, Ga. — (UP) There are many minded-minded men in Atlanta who believe that a mayor "sitting on a powder keg" so acute they consider an aggitation of the racial conflict.
Only a few weeks ago, it is generally admitted, effective action by the police cool-headed counsel by the press, and careful manipulation by the governer to the community; narrowly avowed what might have been a bloody outbreak.
Today the same elements which mase for trouble at that time remain and probably they will long remain.
Situation Touchy
"What would it take to start trouble?" the United Press correspondent aided one of the best informed students of the situation.
"A 25 per cent increase in unemployment would do it," he said, "and so would a fit of hysteries by an irresponsible woman."

He gave assurance of the capability of the police department.
At the time game the colored committee on church co-operation, one of the strument Negro bodies in Atlanta, appealed to the Negro population.
"This committee admishes and advocates the colored citizens of Atlanta to their rights, rumors and to exercise that self-control and domination," it said, "expected of all good citizens to the end that peace, order and order shall prevail in our community."
As the days passed without untoward incident, Atlanta rested more easily. But when a leading citizen, in closest touch with the situation was asked if
"No, the danger has not passed. But it is not immediate."
