investigation of bombings in the Birmingham Division during
1963. The letter further directs this investigation toward
the installation of misurs on primary targets named in the
letter. The Bureau is aware that due to unavoidable circum-
stances the technical installations which had been installed
were located by these prime suspects and further efforts in
this field of the investigation were logically discontinued.
Another direction of the investigation set forth
in BUlet was to endeavor to improve the live informant
coverage of the suspects and possibly future action groups.

formed the primary objective, as mentioned above, was to
install several misurs, which would thereafter be monitored
by four members of the eight-man squad. Since this phase
of the investigation has been terminated, at least temporarily
and our present emphasis is on live informant coverage,
it is believed that seven men can adequately handle the
duties of the squad. Another factor to be considered is
that during the period the squad has been in existence,
many leads have been covered, numerous individuals inter-
viewed, and other investigation conducted, which limits
to a certain extent the amount of remaining investigation
to be handled.
UACB the Bapbomb squad will operate with seven
members rather than eight in the future.

Birmingham letter 10/ 1/ 64 advises that one of the

The Spring, 196R, issue of "Freedomways" is self- '
described as "A Quarterly Review of the Negro Freedom Move; _
ment" published by Freedomways Associates, Incorporated, "
T99 Broadway, New york City; ' f_ ;,- r E y
' On May 24, 1961, a source advised that a report
was given on "Freedomway§'at a meeting of the National
Board, Communist Party, USA CPUSA!, held on May 24, 1961.
