MR. BELMONT _MIR. SULLIVAN '"MR. DE LOACH *M
Judge Edward A. Tamm called and advised he had heard an amazingstory this afternoon. He statedthat Congressman, Don Edwards, who is describedas a former FBI Agent,is very hostile to the Bureau and has introduced a bill orresolution to abolish the House Committee on Un-American Activities HCUA!.Judge Tamm continued that it is reported that the bill or resolution was writtenin a hotel across the street from the House Office Building and present at thewriting or drafting of the bill were Wilkinson, a convicted communist, andMr. and Mrs. Braden, who formerly operated a communist school in Georgia.Judge Tamm stated it sounded so odd to him that an ex- FBI Agent would be
associating with that kind of people. I stated I did not know what district he
came from and Judge Tamm stated he was listed as from San Jose in theCongressional Directory. He stated he could not understand why anybody whowas mad at the FBI would think he was accomplishing anything by abolishingthe HCUA. I inquired if he had mentioned the FBI in the bill and Judge Tamm
stated that apparently he did not. -
Judge Tamm stated that the name Wilkinson meant nothing to him andI stated he was convicted and the Bradens have always been active in communism.Judge Tamm stated the three are supposed to have collaborated with Edwards ina hotel room across from the House Ofce Building in writing the resolution and
he thought that might be of some interest to me.
I stated it is because there is an intensive drive on to abolish the HCUAor to cut its appropriations materially. I stated they have already lined up 13

Memorandum for Messrs. Tolson, Belmont, Sullivan, DeLoach
Judge Tamm stated this information comes from a high class fellow,
a former Assistant United States Attorney, with contacts on the Hill and Judge
Tamm thought this was more than gossip. Judge Tamm stated his informant
was not the type that would come to him with this type of thing if it were gossip
and if it becomes essential he can pass the name on later. I stated I thought
it could be taken care oi without bringing the Bureau or anybody else into the _» picture. Q

SAC Wesley G. Grapp, Los Angeles, re ned my earlier call to him.
_ I told Mr. Grapp that this situation at the University of California at Berkeley is, of course, infiltrated with a lot of communists, both in the student bodyand the faculty. 1 stated this afternoon Mr. John McCone' was over and he is
a graduate of that university and interested in it and I would imagine has probably
iven substantial funds to it. I stated _Mr. McCon<-:1 is a close ersonal friend ofb who lives in the Los Angeles area. I stated recently
ha a conversation with Mr. McCone at which time he was disturbe about the
situation at Berkeley and he says the Board of Regents has on it some sub-
stantial people like Mrs. Norman Chandler but there are two or three individualswho are inclined to be ultra liberal. I stated puzzled as to how
he can handle the situation and is anxious to get a e on any persons who arecommunists or have communist associations either on the faculty or in the [n
student body and then at a Board of Regents level handle it without disclosing '
his source.
I stated I had told Mr. McCone" that I would have prepared and sent
to him," Grapp, a memorandum in the next day-or two of public source information
on some of these individuals causing trouble at Berkeley. I stated, of course,
one of-the principal factors is that President Kerr has not taken an active part
_in this but left it largely to a faculty committee. I stated the memorandum will
be sent'to him, Grapp, and I want him to then make an appointment to see
_and tell him that I have had a conversation with _Mr. McCone and in
line with that conversation, he is calling to seeand give him the
information, which is public source material but not to be disclosed to anyone
as having emanated from the FBI. I stated we will see how that wo ks out andif it looks all right and i.f his, -Grapp's, reaction is thatjis aiafe
individual to talk to, we may later give him some information which is not
public source, but I did notwant to do that now because I want to see what his,

Memorandum for Messrs. Tolson, Belmont, DeLoach, Sullivan
Gra asked ii I wanted him to give the information forwarded
to him to orally or in writing. I told him that what we send in the
next day or so can be given in writing because it will be public source and on
plain paper and not identied with the FBI. Mr. Grapp stated he had heard
that Mrs. Norman Chandler has her own personal sources from which she
knows a great deal of the communist inltration and who is involved. I
stated she is one mentioned by_as being conservative. Mr. Grapp
stated that from the local sense, the big problem is that Governor Pat Brown
and President Kerr do not have much backbone. I stated that apparently they
have given in on everything these young ptmks causing the trouble have wanted
and so told Mr. McCone that was my reaction and of the difiiculties we had
with President Kerr. '
I stated that what I want him to do now is to give to _the
S t I memorandum oi public source information pre ared here at the ea 0Government and then in his conversations withbsize up whether
he is the kind oi person we can tell something to off the record and he will
not disclose where he got it. I stated I thought the memorandum would leave
here etime tomorrow and then he, Grapp, can make his appointmentwithEnd tell him he, Grapp, is doing it at my request. Mr. Grapp
stated he would take care oi it.

Acting Attorney General Nicholas deB. Katzenbach called. He
stated the President told him last night that he was going to name him,
Katzenbach, as Attorney General this morning and Mr. Katzenbach wanted
me to know it before it was announced. I stated I was happy to hear that;
that I had had a feeling it was going to come out but there was no definite
assurance and apparently the President was satisfied with the way he,
Katzenbach, has been handling things and it was an intolerable situation
for him not to have full authority and yet be in the position of being charged
with whatever went wrong. Mr. Katzenbach stated he thought that could be
cured now and he looked forward to the strong support which I have always
given as well as the Bureau. I told him he could depend on that.

I returned an earlier call from Chief John B. Layton of the
Metropolitan Police Department, Washington, D. C. Chief Layton stated
he wanted to let me know of one of the things he said in relation to the
very fine and excellent assistance that the Bureau gave his department in
the Pai man Case. He stated that in talking with the newsmen he had said
he thought this was an outstanding example of the very excellent cooperation
that they had had from the Bureau and he certainly wanted to let me know
personally of the kind of intensive effort he knew went into this. He stated
he had heard that SAC Marlin Johnson in Chicago did an excellent piece of
work with his men and, of course, following the fellow across the comitry is
something they certainly could not do. He stated he had said this to the
newsmen and before it was published he wanted me to know he felt that way.
I told Chief Layton I appreciated his calling and as I had assured him before,
if we can be of assistance in any case where the individual gets out of his
jurisdiction our full facilities are at his disposal. Chief Layton stated this
he did feel sincerely is an outstanding example of that cooperation.
I stated that at the time the law was enacted we had some opposition
from some Senators who felt we were going to interfere with states rights and
I testified and assured them we would not go into any case unless requested to
do so by the local authorities, but I did feel strongly that there was a need for
this kind of cooperation because local a.nnot ountry
do not have the
arrested him. I stated Parman offered no re-
sistance although a gun and some ammunition and he even had a note
obviously to present to some bank to hold it up and Par-man expressed some
gratification that it was over and he would not have to keep running.

' Chief Layton stated that this is confirmation of the kind of effort
that went into tracing Parman. I told Chief Layton that any time we can
help to call on us. He stated this is most appreciated by him and the
Department. I stated this shows the public that when these kinds of crimes
are committed in the community, every effort is made to bring about the
apprehension of the guilty parties. Chief Layton stated there was the added
publicity of his being put on the Ten Most Wanted List together with the
intensive investigation made. I stated we gave it top priority.
Chief Layton reiterated that this was greatly appreciated and I
told him I appreciated his calling me.

Attorney General Nicholas deB. Katzenbach called about the Marion,
Alabama, situation and stated he understood that the Bureau has investigations
going. I stated we did; that we had Agents down there last night although
we were imable to take any pictures due to the darkness. The Attorney
General stated he thought it was important that we keep some Agents in
there in this present situation to try to make sure that Colonel Lingo of
the Alabama State Police and his people do not get out of control and it
will be something that will keep them irom reacting too violently as he
thought probably ii there is more diiiiculty it is likely to occur this evening.
I stated we have had some Agents in thatgeneral area for some weeks but
I will see that it is intensied and see there are men in there over the
weekend.
V The Attorney G8f1¬13.1 stated he thought some oi the Student Non-
violent Coordinating Committee people are meeting in Atlanta today which
will have something to do with what they do at Selma and he is not optimistic
about that and perhaps the same thing applies there depending on what
intelligence we get. I stated I would see that that area is thoroughly
covered. The Attorney General commented that he thought it helps to
keep the situation irom getting too far out oi hand. ,
I stated my personal feeling is that the State Police should stay
out and there would not be as much trouble, but Colonel Lingo is an
individual with whom it is impossible to deal with. I mentioned that there
was a move to select one of his men to be sent to our National Academy but

MR. SULLIVAN "'_"' EMR. DE LOACH
I called the Attorney General and told him I wanted to let him lmow
that I had talked to Senator James Eastland today, in regard to the hearings
before the Long Committee concerning mail covers, et cetera. I stated Senator
Eastland is in Mississippi today but he is going to see Senator Long not later
than Wednesday morning to caution him that this fellow Fensterwald must not
go into the kind of questioning he made of Chief Inspector Montague of the Post
Office Department. The Attorney General stated he was going to see Senator
Long himself and asked if I thought he ought to wait until after Senator Eastland
talks to Senator Long. I stated the timing might be well if he did wait as Eastland
assured me he will see Long not later than Wednesday and then if he, the Attorney
General, could see Long sometime Wednesday, it would probably tie it down once
and for all as there are no hearings until Wednesday anyway. The Attorn 9}
General stated he thought they were havinga hearing tomorrow, but he would
ch ck . . . . .e I stated if there is a hearing tomorrow, then I would be mchned for the
Attorney General to see Senator Long now but if it is not before Wednesday, then
I think he should let Senator Eastland see what he can do. I stated Senator
Eastland thoroughly understands the matter and said he does not intend to have
th t . . . . . .a gone into and that obviously Fensterwald is getting in over hl.S head and
that has to be stopped. -

' The Attorney General called and advised that he had talked to
Senator Long la.st night. Senator Long's committee is looking into mail covers
et cetera. The Attorney General stated he thought somebody had already spoken
to Senator Long as he said he did not want to get into any national security area
and was willing to take steps not to do this. The Attorney General stated that
Mr. Fensterwald was present for part of the meeting and Fensterwald had said
that he had some possible witnesses who are former Bureau Agents and if they
were asked if mail was opened, they would take the Fifth Amendment. The
Attorney General stated that before they are called, -he would like to know who
they are and whether they were ever involved in any program touching on national
security and if not, it is their own business, but if they were, we would want to
know. The Attorney General stated the Senator promised that he would have a
chance to look at the names if he wanted to, personally and condentially, and
the list would have any names involving national security deleted and he would
tell the Senator how many but no more.
' The Attorney General stated that the Postmaster -General is going
down there this morning himself which he, the Attorney General, thought would
be helpful to Chief Inspector Montague of the Post Otfice Department.
.. The Attorney General stated that Senator Long also said he is not going
to propose legislation to abolish mail covers as he thought they served a useful
purpose but he did think that control should be tightened. I stated I thought there
was great laxity in the matter of mail covers and the matter of tapping telephones.
.,- "I stated I have always been of the view and recommended back when
Tom Clark was Attorney General that no agency of the Government should tap
a telephone except with the written approval of the Attorney General. I stated

there would then be in one place a list of all phone taps and the purpose and
reason for them. I stated that it is a fact, insofar as I am concerned, that I
am the only head of an agency who does not have authority to tap telephones.»
I stated that I know that subordinates down the line in some agencies will tap
phones without the knowledge of the chief of the agency and there is grave
suspicion in Washington by some newspapermen that their phones have been
tapped by agencies of the Government trying to find out where they are getting
their information. I stated I have always been opposed to the law whereby it is
necessary to get the authority of a court to tap phones because of the composition
of some of our courts and the employees thereof, but I have always felt that
the President should issue an Executive Order confidentially to all agencies
that all phone tapping be discontinued except when specifically approved by
the Attorney General so there would be in one place a list and then if any
committee in Congress got on the warpath, the Attorney General would have
a list he could vouch for as being the only phones tapped by the Government.
The Attorney General stated that made sense. I stated many agencies are
opposed because they realize there would be a marked restriction. I stated
we only have 45 phone taps, which is a low number for a country the size of
ours and the area we have to cover. The Attorney General stated no one has
any idea how many phone taps the whole Government has.

I called Attorney General Nicholas deB. Katzenbach and
advised him of the pickets who were in the reception room of the
Washington Field Division, that they were the same pickets who were
in his office yesterday. I said our Agent in Charge had talked to these
people; that they said they have nothing to protest to the FBI but, since
they could not see the Attorney General, they came over to sit-in on "
the FBI and they planned to stay there. I wondered what his thought
was - whether we should remove them with the assistance of GSA guards
and police. He said yes, to be sure we used unarmed guards.
I told him eight of our offices were picketed throughout the
country yesterday and about six today. I said in all those places we
were able to get them to leave. He said he offered to see them if they
would leave but they wanted Federal Marshals and he could not promise
that. He advised, if they did not leave our reception room, to handle
them just as gently and firmly as it can be done.

Att' Theorney General asked ii we can tie any of it down to
that all that they are actual
said he
the area
who wasSunday, too. I said they have offered the
Chief of Police in Selma if needed today. I said it looks as if the Governor~ has recognized thathas contributed to the outbreak down there. Q
The Attorney General asked if any of the police were involved
in the attack on the white minister. I answered no, that they were just
rowdies. I further advised him that the Chief of Police made a release
down there and referred to assistance from the FBI in bringing about the
arrests today. - -
I stated, if the man dies, there will have to be a charge of
murder which the local authorities will handle. I said we will try to see
what court conditions are down there as we may have the same problem
we are having with Cox in Federal Court; that down there it will be the
-state court which will try them.
The Attorney General stated it will be important to bring the
charge right away. I said it would be my idea, if the man dies, that we
ought to be preparedto call upon the state authorities to take prompt action.
The Attorney General indicated Baker should know it ought to be made right
away. I said we would see that he does so. The Attorney General said,
whatever happens subsequently, it is terribly important that a murder
charge be placed within an hour. I said in the meantime we have another
charge against them, but it 1S not for murder. I said I will see that is
done and that Baker has them charged immediately upon announcement
of the man's death.
The Attorney General said to let him know if they have any
hesitation and he will try it the other way. I said I will let him know.

the Grand Jury. I further stated I was greatly impressed yesterday -by [
omplete absence from the area and I would imagine he
won't be there.
I told the Attorney General that today I am afraid he is going
to have crowds down here to see him, the ministers who have gathered
here. He advised that he was going right over to the White House, that
he was always glad to see them, and that the President is going to meet
them. '
I pointed out in this crowd today, like down at the White House
yesterday, two are communists; that you have sti inltration now oi
communists. I said in this matter oi tours going through there it is
almost impossible to screen them.
I mentioned the action oi the Federal Judgegin Los ingeles
and the Attorney General stated he wants -to kee c arges on
them for the moment; that we have enough evidence to justify that; and
when this cools o, go in and dismiss. He said they will probably ask
for a little more investigation on that for the purpose of cooling them
ol. He said he thinks if we just cool the judges and keep our heads,
we will be all right.
I mentioned the interstate theft case which the judge dismissed
because he claimed the jury couldn't get back from the jury room and he
couldn't wait. The Attorney General said it was for no reason at all and
indicated he had taken action to correct the situation in that area. I
remarked there uight to be a school to train some oi these Federal Judges
but I didn't know who would teach them. The Attorney General suggested
they would get me to teach them and I replied that I wouldn't want to take
on the job. -
- I stated I would pass on the order to intensify our eorts of
getting on the Klan - that this was well begun in Alabama but had not been
developed as iar as in Mississippi. I advised that sixteen agents went
in last night and we already had twenty in there, which brings us up to
thirty-six; that we were bringing in additional stenographers; that we
had installed a teletype line directly from Selma to the oiiice here; andL

The Attorney General returned my call and I advised him thatlate last night the President phoned from his plane going to his ranch andwas obviously in a highly agitated condition about the situation in Alabama;that he wanted me to get in touch with the Attorney General and convey his
great concern about it; that he didn't want anything to go wrong. I advised
the Attorney General that I had already sent in more men, bringing thetotal to 70 down there, with cameras and all necessary equipment for
making pictures.
I advised the Attorney General that the President said he
preferred the use of marshals but later on talked of having the National
Guard federalized. The Attorney General injected that he can't do it with
marshals and I agreed that he can't. He said they may use a few Border
Patrol people on a communications scheme but it is just too big a problem.
I said I thought the President was crossing wires with himself at the time
since he mentioned marshals and then the National Guard.

MR. ROSENI 4/z4¢~92*=
The President called and said they want him to talk to the "
husband of the woman who was killed; that he had had the counsel talk to ' .
him; that the man on the White House switchboard last night indicated he the President! would talk to the man when he the President! woke up. He"said, before he talked to the man, he wanted to be sure I don't have any
reason why he shouldn't because our report indicated the man is a Teamster
man. I told the President I don't say the man has a bad character but heis well known as a Teamster strongarm man and on the woman's body we
found numerous needle marks indicating she had been taking dope although
we can't say that denitely because she is dead. I said I would be inclined
to have White or someone like that talk to the husband rather than the
President. The President said all right, White has already talked to him.
I said I thought the thing was in pretty good shape; that as soon
as I finished talking to him, I would talk to my man in Alabama to have the
other three men in the car with our informant arrested before they get rid
of their gxms; that we propose to file the same kind of warrant as we filed
in the Penn case in Georgia. I said I would talk to Sullivan and then let
the President know. He asked me to please do so.
I advised him of the information and evidence we have; that I
was going to talk to Alabama right away; that if Doar agrees to serving the
warrants, we will have them in custody soon; that I would call him and hec ould make a statement from the White House. The President suggested
that the Attorney General and I come over to the White House; that maybe
we could get there before the astronauts and let television cover us as we
come in; that we don't have to have any appointment, to just call George
Reedy and tell him I'm coming over to see the President, then tell the

4/""¬@1<=""I called Attorney General Nicholas deB. Katzenbach and told
him we have practically broken the case down in Selma, the killing of the
woman, and that we have to move very rapidly. I stated I had instructed
our men to go to see Ramsey Clark and lay the facts before him so he can
decide what statute we can file under. The Attorney General said it will
have to be John Doar as Ramsey Clark has left Alabama and is back here.
I said the thought I had in mind was we ought to talk probably with Ramsey
Clark or anyone the Attorney General designated to determine what statute
louse and we wanted to get our hands on the people who did this before they
destroy their guns and get out of the state.
I stated we had an informant in the car from which the shooting
was done and he has, therefore, identified the two who actually fired the
two guns that killed this woman; that he has identified the third man; and
that the informant was the fourth man. I explained that the informant is a
member of the Bessemer, Alabama, Klan. I stated that the three men we
want to arrest are not going to work today and we have their homes under
surveillance; that we want to move to take them into custody and conduct
an intensive interrogation of them; that I think it is imperative we act fast
so they can't get away from us and be another six-months case like we had
in Mississippi.
The Attorney General stated, if we are going to get the stuff
drawn_up quickly, we will do better to work with Doar down there. I stated511-_ T.-ls-an ..

just told him because the President had called me this morning about six
o'clock and two or three times last night. The Attorney General indicated
the President had called him around eight o'clock this morning. 1 stated '
I told the President the developments as we had them and that there must
be nothing said by him or anyone else about the nearness of breaking the

Q
M I told the Attorney General that the President asked if he should
iialk to the husband of the woman in Detroit who had died and I suggested the
President have Lee White call this man and, if the man behaves himself, ~
the President could consider talking to him later. I stated the man himself
doesn't have too good a background and the woman had indications of needle
marks in her arms where she had been taking dope; that she was sitting very,
very close to the Negro in the car; that it had the appearance of a necking
party. - . - A .
I told the Attorney General I would get in touch with Doar right
away. He said he thought that would be-the fastest. I said I would get that
done right away. -
9:45 a. m. .
I called the Attorney General to advise him of the President's
call. I related that the President asked about the background of the man
in Detroit the husband of the woman killed in Alabama! and I told him what
it was; that the President said Lee White had already talked to the man and
he wanted to know what I thought about calling him. I stated I advised the
President to hold off until after the case is broken and then he could consider
whether he wants to call the man and extend condolences. '
I told the Attorney General that the President then said he wanted
the Attorney General and me, as soon as we get the warrants and make the
arrests, to come to the White House, to try to get there before the astro-
nauts arrive, and he would then make a statement on television with us
present. I said the trouble is the astronauts get there at eleven o'clock
and we can't complete matters by that time. The Attorney General said
no, we would have to do it after.
I told him theywill call here and let me know at once and I
will let him know at once; that will be after eleven o'clock. The Attorney
General said the ceremony for the astronauts would probably last forty-five
minutes and I indicated I thought we could do it right after that.
The Attorney General said he was going to talk with Lee White
in his the Attorney General's! office then; that he would advise this same
procedure and tell White to tell the President that we are just not going to
make it before the astronauts.
The Attorney General asked where Sullivan is and I replied that
Sullivan is in Selma. He remarked that Sullivan is fifty miles from Doar
and I told him they can talk by telephone. I said I would let him know as
soon as it is done. 2 '7 ~-17'!-H -'. _- .._ :_'_r-I._ I r ' _ _ . _

take about an hour; that there will be four arrests made, including our
informant; that the informant is scared to death and we may have to move e
him and his family out to some other part of the state or the country to
protect them when it gets to trial.
I said I thought it would be ready at 11:40 so he could make
arrangements to go over to the White House.
11:00 a.m.
The Attorney General called to ask if I would have typed up the
factual information. I told him I was having it typed up; that either he or
the President could read it. -
12:11 p. m.
The Attorney General returned my call of a few moments
before. I advised him that I had received a call from Mr. DeLoach, whom
I had sent over to the White House, and that Mr. DeLoach advised the
President had told him he would like to have us come over to the White
House at once to stand by for the arrests. I stated the arrests had not yet
been made. I told him I would come around and join him. He said he
thought he would take along Ramsey Clark since he had been down there.
I said I would come around to his office and he said that was fine.

Congressman George H. Mahon, Chairman of the House Appropriations
Committee, called. He stated that when Clarence Cannon was Chairman of that
Committee, they had a very excellent arrangement with me which Mr. Cannon
discussed with Mr. Mahon many times. Congressman Mahon stated he thought
they would be fortunate ii the same arrangement could be carried on now.
I told the Congressman 1 would be happy to do this if that is his wish. I stated
it was a system where the Agents would be rotated aiter three years; that one
gradually moves up to be in charge of the investigators the third year and then
returns to the Bureau at the end oi three years and I would be happy to arrange
for that to continue.
Congressman Mahon stated that Mr. Rowland C. Halstead is now
in charge, Mr. Leo E. Conroy is the number two man, and Mr. Charles Bolz
is the number three man. He stated that according to the system Mr. Halstead
will complete his tour of duty on May lst. I stated then the number two man would
move up to be in charge and we would send a third man to start at the bottom,
ii that is agreeable. The Congressman stated that is excellent and he thought
they ought to continue in the same way but wanted to touch base with me. I
stated I would be happy to continue the same systemif it is of assistance to the
Committee. The Congressman stated it was and to just continue to send the same _
type of qualiiied men and they will be satisfied.92

MR. on noacn
I called the Attorney General and advised him that I thought he might
like to know that we have identified the bullets taken from the body of Mrs. '
Liuzzo, who was killed in Alabama, with bullets in the car and with the gun taken
from the car belonging to one of the men arrested, Thomas. I stated that is
evidence and not the views of an informant although the informant told us the man
had red the gun. The Attorney General asked if the gun was in Thomas
possession and I stated it was in his car; that we had gone to his house-
h0mB had a 38 caliber gun in his ¢ar
with the bullets taken out of the dead woman and fragments of bullets fmmd
in her car and this had proved conclusively that these bullets were fired by
thegun owned by Thomas.
" ' I continued that I had to blast the story of the Sheriff down there as
a lie because not only did we not have this car under surveillance, but he was
advised along with the highway patrol and others about the cars of Klansmen
in the area. I stated there was another story which is not true to the effect that
the informant was offered land in Minnesota for giving this information. I stated
that came from the attorney hired by the Klan to defend these four suspects.
I told the Attorney General that our informant is so mad at the Klan
he wants to come out and talk publicly but we want to wait until the Department
decides just how it is going to proceed. The Attorney General stated that what
they want to do at the moment is to take it to a grand jury and try to get more
information regarding the Klan and when it is developed, to probably let the
State try it. The Attorney General commented it was rather incredible that
in Lownes County they could have a decent prosecutor; but he is willing to make
a try and if we got to the point where the evidence we have cannot be disputed,
it may be better to let them go ahead. I stated I was happy to get this evidence
in our laboratory because it cannot be contradicted. I stated the Negro who was
with Mrs. Liuzzo preferred to work days with COFO and spend his nights in the
jail, and the Attorney General stated that was all right.

Memorandum for Messrs. Tolson, Belmont, DeLoach, Rosen
The Attorney General stated that he was writing an answer to
Mr. Shelton and Mr. Clark in connection with the telegram they sent the
President and asked if he could read it to me. He proceeded, "In response
to your telegram to the President dated March 28th, Mr. St. John Barrett,
Second Assistant of the Civil Rights Division of the U. S. Department of
Justice, who is now in Alabama will contact you shortly to discuss matters in
your telegram. Your telegram also suggests you have facts concerning
subversive or criminal activities. Any such facts should be reported promptly
to the Federal Bureau of Investigation through its local office. " I stated
I thought that was all right.
I stated I had just thought he would be interested in the identication
of the bullets and the Attorney General said it was of tremendous help. I stated
everything the informant told us has turned out to be true. I stated there were
no . 22 caliber bullets found in the body but we have the testimony of the informant
about the two men who fired the gims.

glad to do that. He said McNamara is perfectly agreeable to this and
McNamara thinks it is not possible in Defense without his or Vance's
approval but that is not his the Attorney General's! impression. I saidit is not mine. He said he told the President he had absolutely no questionabout the Bureau in this regard but could not speak for the other agencies.
I stated that, if an agent should get out of line, he would bered right away; that they understand that very clearly; that when we have
requests from the field that we turn down, we don't even send them aroundto him; that we try to keep them down to 50 or 60 for the entire country in
espionage and kidnaping cases. He remarked that kidnapings are very rare
I explained that, where the life of an individual or the i.i.fe of the Nation is
threatened, I think it warranted. I said that three years ago, we had about100 and now have gotten it down to about 50 or so and the field is very
sensitive to the fact that they will not be approved here unless it is some-
thing very vital; and I think this would be the only way to do it.
The Attorney General said also he would like to set up some
similar procedure on microphone installations; that he really ought to beinformed in this regard, not be told after but be told prior. I stated I amperfectly willing to have that done; that I see no objection. The AttorneyGeneral said he does not think it is right to put a responsibility like that on
the Bureau; if anything comes out, he has to take responsibility and so he
might just as well take the responsibility.
The Attorney General indicated he wanted to discuss this with
me in detail but not on the phone; that he thought on the taps we might have
a system where the authorization would run for a specific time, six months
or something; that as it is now he has no idea when they are taken off orHZ. 92-. __ ._ .___: UK. -' _ _.;.' ___:. -_' _.'!',.v_. . ._.__. . __ ._._ l .' . ,=,k' .>k:'a_92's'a. £"..&=. . .'.£§L¢'~_'~92.:~* ~_ .

Mr. Helms, the head of the Planning Division of the Central Intelligence
' Agency CIA!. I stated I personally have only met him officially at various
conferences, but I would check our files and check with our liaison man with
CIA to find out what he thinks of him and let the President know. The Preside
asked that it be on plain paper not showing it is connected with the FBI or the
Department and be given to one of my men or Mr. DeLoach to give to him,
the President, and nobody else unless it is Mildred Ste all or Mar ' Watsg vm on.He stated he wanted my evaluation as to the man's weaknesses and strengths.
The President stated that Clark Clifford thinks highly of J. Patrick Coyne
and the people with whom he has to work and he, the President, wants to
put them up as to ages, experience, training, et cetera.
_Mr. Belmont's Office has been instructed to handle the above.
The President continued that there is another tt hi .*_ ma erw chisreally
not in my field but he guessed there was nothing with which I had not had some
8Xp6I1¬nC9,_ but he had seven names for Ambassadors. One he did not think
was the proper time to sendup, but there were six others and he wanted me
to look at these six again; that the Bureau still has investigations running on
them. He stated an evaluation could be made and Mr. DeLoach could go over
to the White House and give him, the President, my reactions. The President

MR. ROSEN »» - . MR. GALE . .
Attorney General Nicholas deB. Katzenbach called and stated therewere two things he wanted to bring up. He stated the first was the Kolod Casein Denver, Colorado, and that apparently Edward Bennett Williams is goingto make a motion in the case to see whether any of the testimony is tainted.The Attorney General stated that the Department was going to oppose this withtimeliness and affidavits, but we may be overruled and may have to face up toit. I stated our Agents have been advised to be available to the United StatesAttorney at Denver. The Attorney General stated he would just like any thoughtsI might have as to any way to handle it. I stated I thought the proposed actionswere the only ones we could take. The Attorney General stated he was justtrying to think ahead and I stated I would give thought to it and inquired ifthey aren't appealable to the Circuit Court. The Attorney General statedhe did not believe we can take an interlocutory appeal on those. I stated I
had in mind something like we did in Chicago in the Giancana Case. The -
Attorney General stated he would have his people go into it, but he hated tolose the case as it would be great encouragement to Williams to use this in
any case he might have in the future. The Attorney General stated he wastold by the Criminal Division that this is clean, so he particularly hates to
lose this because it creates the impression it is not. I asked if it would bepossible to make this available to the -Judge in chambers and the AttorneyGeneral stated they could explore that or else a nonpublic hearing. I stated@
D lit has been done in a number of other cases and the Attorney General statedIv
1.J, 929292.~they may do it that way or by affidavit. He stated he did not want Williams
92i~ V1to be in the position tbuse that device every time he defends a client, but hewould keep in touch with me on it and if I had any ideas he would appreciate
receiving them. I stated I would be glad to talk it over with our people.
~ The Attorney General stated the other matter is the fact that he is
concerned about our witness in the Alabama shooting case, Mrs. Liuzzo, as_ he apparently is not only for this case but he gathers he is one of our informants. : on all Klan activities. I stated he had been so for about five years. The Attorney

Memorandum for Messrs. Tolson, Belmont, DeLoach, Rosen
General stated that he may be getting nervous with all the bombings, but he
is concerned about the safety of the informant and his family. I stated we
had removed him from the area yesterday and there is an Agent with him.
I stated we had made the informant available to the Special Assistant down
there for questioning who indicated he was gratified with the statement the
man made and he was impressed with his ma.nner and all. _The Attorney
General stated he had that report, but his concern is only that we don't lose
him; that he, the Attorney General, is not an expert in these things while
the Bureau is, but he would like me to keep an eye on it if I could and be
sure we don't lose him. I stated I was certain the Klan would do everything
it could to find out who it is and try to kill him. The Attorney General then
inquired if I thought we ought to get him on some Army base or somewhere
like that, but for me to think about that, although he is going to be exposed
but he has a lot of valuable information that can be used in the grand jury
hearings and once he is he can be use
Attorney General asked that I keep in touch with it

¢/1w»'92On February 25, 1965, I called upon Vice President
Hubert H. Humphrey to discuss with him generally the problems
of his office as they pertain to security of his staff personnel
and to civil rights.
I was particularly impressed with the maturity of
view and approach which Vice President Humphrey manifested
in my conference with him. '
He was quite laudatory of the work of the Bureau
and appreciated all the Bureau had done in the field of civil
rights.

MEMORANDUM FORMR TOLSON ;_ __ '____;__
MR. BELMONT , _
MR. MOHR , E , ,. 7MR. DE LOACH
Attorney General Nicholas deB. Katzenbach called and stated he
had been going over the material relating to press releases and he thought the
only point of difference concerns state convictions. He stated he had a fairly
open mind on that and he would like to put the regulation out in the form it is
now because he has to get it out and then discuss that with me and change it
under paragraph 9 if so desired. I stated the thought in my mind is that the
Prison Bureau does not have those records, the Identification Division does
and the Attorney General stated he would cut that out. if
. I stated there were one or two other things; that on page 5 there is .55
reference at the top that 12. 5% of those charged with Federal crimes are actually _'
tried and only 8% are tried by jury. I stated I did not know where those figures
came from but I knew insofar as the Bureau is concerned, we indict and bring
to trial 96% of which 91% plead guilty. I stated as it reads now it looks as if ..
the Federal Government has a pretty bad record as far as bringing cases to
trial is concerned. The Attorney General stated he saw the point and it was
a good one. He stated actually the figures are low because of the guilty pleas. ~
I stated on the same page there is reference to Supreme Court E
decisions and the damage that can be done with pretria1 publicity, but these ,
are all local cases and none of them was a Federal case. The Attorney General
stated hethought that was also a good point. I stated that might be clarified
so that it does not appear that the Federal people abuse this sort of thing. I
stated then there was this matter of the disclosure of the defendant's criminal ,
record which I thought is an important angle. I stated the Prison Bureau never
had any record on Lee Harvey Oswald as he had not violated any law, but we did
have in the Bureau his defection to Russia, which I think was properly released
to the press when the release was made in Dallas.

Memorandum for Messrs. Tolson, Belmont, Mohr, DeLoach April 15, 1965
* The Attorney General stated that it is really to cover that kind of
situation that they put in paragraph 9 admitting there would be exceptions and
proper exceptions and he would delete any reference to the Prison Bureau.
I stated on page 15 there is reference only to the Federal records
and no state records and it averages that about four persons we have to arrest
who are more or less confirmed criminals, having been previously convicted
in a state court for felonies and it would seem it is that kind of record which
should be given to the public in the press release. I stated it is not a case of
a man being tried and found imiocent and the case dismissed because nothing
would be said if that happened. I recalled to the Attorney General the case of
the man in California who was to be executed and there was quite an argument
and this man had been convicted four times for rape and was also convicted
four additional times but none of that would be given out under the provisions
now. I stated when there are individuals like that who are a menace to society
that I thought it should be given. I stated we have found in releases over the years
where we have given the records and photographs The Attorney General interjected
that in regard to photographs where we have a valid law enforcement purpose to
be served they can be given.! we have had letters come in from people advising
they know something about that person where the photograph is given and they
tell us about other crimes he may have committed. The Attorney General
stated that is the reason they put in the exception and left it so it could be
done where it serves a valid law enforcement reason; such as income tax
evasion, he saw no reason to give a picture. I stated in fugitive cases,
the first thing the press asks for is a photograph or whether they can take a
photograph and if we say they can't take it, it will come down like a ton of
bricks. The Attorney General stated that now it was written where we don't
volunteer the person for a photograph nor do we prevent it from being taken,
and it says it can be provided anytime law enforcement purpose will be served.
He stated that takes care of the felony angle and the only cases where we would
not do it would be like tax evasion or perhaps a bank official who embezzled.
I stated I can see those classifications and the Attorney General stated he thought
that generally probably it ought to be given out. I stated that like in the Klan
thing, if we know he is a member, we ought to put it in the release and the
Attorney General agreed. The Attorney General stated he thought when we have
problems with the Klan, he thought it perfectly valid and he has not objected, as
I knew, but on the other hand, if we picked up somebody for bank robbery and he

were a member of the American Nazi Party, we probably should not say that.I stated that does show the character of the individuals in the Nazi Party thoughas many are homosexuals and been arrested and convicted on morals charges.
I stated the thing I have in mind is with this rise in crime, I hate to
see anything done that is going to make it more liberal for the criminal andless helpful to the law abiding society. The Attorney General stated he agreed
entirely, but his problem is with the bar association people and the Massachusetts
Legislature which just passed this thing and his idea in doing this was to put out
legitimate regulations before something happened. He stated on the state
records, as he said, he thought I may be right that that should be done. Hestated he would like to let it ride as it is and talk to me about it next week,"
Monday or Tuesday, and he can make a general authorization to me under
paragraph 9 so we can put this out. I stated I thought it is wrong to make a
statement that a man has been arrested for an offense when there is no dis-
position. The Attorney General stated it should be conned to dispositions,
but where it is a fugitive felon and where he has a long record and we want to
put it out, we can make exceptions. I said here you have dangerous individuals.
The Attorney General stated there is nothing there prevents us from stating that
when we are looking for somebody and when he is arrested we could say as we
have already stated at the time we were looking for him he has a record and give
that out and say the fellow was just picked up.
The Attorney General stated he would be happy to work those out and
he thought the other points were good and he would make those changes. I stated
the thing that concerns me comes out of the Dallas situation; that I was reading
the report of the Editors Association which was a strong report and I thought a
sound one; that they do not share the view some of us have but I do feel there
has been valid basis for the criticism that has been directed except in the
situation in Dallas. The Attorney General stated he had compassion for '
some person the first time he runs up against 150 reporters, such as happened
in Dallas. I stated a Chief Judge of the Supreme Court of Pennsylvania took
apart the Philadelphia Bar Association for what they did and disagreed with
them completely but in these bar associations, as in the American Bar
Association, these criminal lawyers have committees of their own and they
are generally the ones who try to force the handcuffs on effective law enforcement.

While talking to the Attorney General on another matter
when I called him, the Attorney General asked, in regard to the
President's committee studying the crime problem, what I would
think of having former Governor Tom Dewey as Chairman. I told
the Attorney General that Mr. Dewey is a very good man.
The Attorney General asked if I thought Mr. Dewey would
be willing to do it. I stated I did not know; that I did know it was a
little diificult to get him to look into the race riots, but the President
had conferred with Mr. Dewey and I also personally saw Mr. Dewey
and at that time he did it as a public service. I stated Mr. Dewey
is a very good man on the over- all crime picture as he knows it
perfectly and he is both practical and nonpartisan. The Attorney
General indicated that he thought he would call Mr. Dewey as the
President thought he would be a good man and wanted my views
on it.

I called the Attorney Generals oice and advised his
secretary that I knew the Attorney General was out oi town butI wanted to get word to him when he comes in regarding the case
in Alabama, the IIl9211d¬1 oi Mrs. Liuzzo. I stated the jury has
asked two questions: First, as to the dierence between the
various degrees of murder and manslaughter; and second, how
much weight can be given to the testimony oi an accomplice
under Alabama law. I stated it looks as if certain members of
the jury are inclined to convict and the Attorney General and I
both felt that if we only got disagreement, it would be a victory,
but this indicates a possibility of conviction.

Deputy Attorney General Ramsey Clark called. He ~92
stated he had talked with Assistant to the Director Belmont the
other night and sent him a list oi names, which had come to them
from the White House, in connection with the D. C. Crime _
Commission which caused the Attorney General and himseli '
concern because oi the lack oi experience on the part of the ~
people included in law enforcement. I commented the only
one I saw was former Attorney General William P. Rogers.
' Mr. Clark stated that in {act they felt so strongly
about it, they even thought it would be better not to have a
Commission oi that type because we need the best Commissiornu
possible in the District of Columbia for leadership purposes. L
sf? Mr. Clark asked if I could give them a list of names"7
who would be well qualified to participate on such a Commission.
He stated he had wanted to recommend people such as Herbert J.
Miller, Jr. , former Assistant Attorney General, and they were
going to urge John Macy to start over, but if I could give them ,
half a dozen names or so of people with broad experience whol-I
could contribute, it would be most helpful. .1 stated I would
give them to him today.

MR. DE LOACH- um. SULLIVAN 4 ,-{M4,/I called Admiral William F. Raborn, Jr. , Director oi the CentralIntelligence Agency. I told him I was outraged by some oi the stories andrumors which have been circulating and if he had not seen it, he might wantto have someone get the column by Ted Lewis in this morning's New York DailyNews. I stated this was a good column in that it points out that there has beena studied eiiort over some years on the part of the service agencies, Stateand the Pentagon to cause breaches between the Central Intelligence Agencyand the FBI. I stated, oi course, this is not true because we have workedtogether harmoniously and are working harmoniously. Admiral Raborn statedhe had been going to call me today, also, and that what I said is exactly alonglin sa t . H re

I stated I had told the President what a fine relationship has existedd that there was no friction but the closest oi cooperation has prevailed.stated there was a story that we have 25 Agents in Santo Domingo, which is. ot true as we will only have 14. I stated I have told my people to adhere tothe statement made by George Reedy, Press Secretary at the White House,yesterday and that there was to be no amplication. I stated I had indicatedto the President that I had my suspicion as to where the leak came and that itwas not CIA or the FBI and he could draw his own conclusion on u

- : !

thought what we have to do is stand together and ignore them. I stated that is
what I intend to do and for him to read the article by Ted Lewis. I stated there
was one portion which I did not like at the end where he said that his, Raborn's,
duration would probably be short and he would be succeeded by Richard Helms
and again it was a matter of trying to stir up turmoil. .I stated the first part
of the article was favorable as to the close cooperation between our organiza-
tions and as far as I was concerned, it was going to stay that way as long as
I am here. Admiral Raborn stated it was the same with him and he appreciated
my calling him. A

and they could cooperation. I stated that myexcellent
in Santo
some
this mormng paper between CIA and the FBI that has
always more or less been sponsored by the Pentagon and State Department,
but I have always gotten along with CIA under its various Directors and
Admiral Raborn and I both agreed from the beginning that we would follow
the policy of no comment and after George Reedy, Press Secretary at the
White House, issued the statement yesterday, I instructed our people that *
any inquiries be met that the statement has been made by Mr. Reedy and we
have adhered to that completely and beyond that we have no comment. ' .
I stated I thought things were in good shape; that, of course, we areunder fire in the Dominican Republic as there had been snipers shooting at our ,1headquarters and we asked for more Marines for protection, but the office is 1°
operationa.l and we will have 14 Agents down there
in a few days, 10 being there at the present time. I stated I wanted to assure
himthatwe are ontop ofit.
The President inquired whether the Attorney General at the National
Academy Graduation Exercises this morning made mention of the $10, 000, 000
for the expansion of the Academy at Quantico. I told him
remarks were taken the Americanhe had and that the
System and the Columbia
we had 8 men
foreign coimtries, including Africa and it is the intention that if the Academy 1, I
is expanded, we plan to have more than two classes a year and we will be able
to graduate more men and in each class we will probably have 20 men from
foreign countries for training. I stated this is of value, not only as we find
in the Dominican Republic, but in most of the African countries there are so
few who are educated or capable of running a Government that I am hoping
these men we are training will go back not only to train their men in lawGovernment. The President commented some-sF 92Tbe Prime Ministers.

I stated I had talked to them and they were well educated and well appearing
and strange to say, in the class this morning we had about ten men from
Mississippi and Senator Eastland came down and attended the ceremonies
along with Senator Thurmond; that I had promised the Governor of Mississippi
last July that I would train some of the State Police for them. I stated all
those men got along fine and there was no friction, racial or any other way,
so it shows it can be worked and also when we need something in that part
of the world, we have contacts we can depend on and get the correct informa-
tion.
our man to answer no
and to and that any statement has to
come from Washington and we are to make no statement, so I thought every-
thing so far as we can is tied down.
I stated I have talked to Admiral Raborn on the matter and talked
to him today and called his attention to the article in the New York Daily News
which praised both of our organizations and indicated how closely we have
worked over the years. I stated at the end was a nasty paragraph that Raborn
would not be there long and he would be succeeded by Helms. I stated this
was written by Ted Lewis. I stated this latter part of the article was purely
speculative but the first part was good.
The President thanked me for calling and stated he appreciated
the above information.

0I called the Attorney General and advised him that a little whileago while talking to the President, the President asked me if the AttorneyGeneral had made the statement this morning regarding the expansion ofthe National Academy during his remarks before the audience at the NationalAcademy graduation. I stated I had told the President that the AttorneyGeneral had and that he had covered it most adequately and that the speechwas recorded by the American Broadcasting Company and the ColumbiaBroadcasting System. I stated the President seemed to be pleased with this.The Attorney General commented that he had oifered that to the Presidentif he wanted to announce it but he had turned it back. I asked the AttorneyGeneral ii a copy of his speech had been sent to the President and he statedhe would check on that.

stated he had heard there were possibly two sources, one from the White House
and the other the State Department, and that the State Department is the one
thanot believe the first one from ' ouse.I stated ! told the Preijent
but that it certainly did not come from here and
I took the position from the beginning that we would issue no statement of
any kind and when the White House made its statement, I instructed that
any inquiries should be met with no comment other than what George Reedy
said. I stated of course they tried to find out if we had men in other parts
of the world but we said no comment and Admiral Raborn is following the
same pattern in CIA. I stated I thought the least said, the better.
I stated I talked with our men down in Santo Domingo and they are
following the same policy so it is pretty well bottled up but there is some
wild speculation. I stated there was a column in the New York Daily News
this morning and th.ree- fourths of it was good about the fine relationship
between CIA and the FBI and that the State Department and the Pentagon
over the years have tried to cause friction between the two organizations
but the column did end up that Raborn would not be around long but would
be succeeded by Helms, which is pure speculation. I stated I had suggested
to Admiral Raborn that he read this.
I stated our people had been under attack in Santo Domingo but
we had additional Marines assigned for protection and McGeorge Bundy is
back and is going to let it simmer for a while.
I stated the value of our Academy is proven by the fact that we have
two of our graduates down there and the class that graduated this morning has
men from various parts of the world, so they will not only go back as
missionaries for the U. S. Government, but in the future many of them,particularly those from Africa where there are not many educated people,
we may find becoming Prime Ministers or heads of state, which will be
beneficial for democratic forces, but in enlarging the Academy, we will beable to have 5% classes instead of two. The Attorney General stated it willgive us more exibility in the curriculum, et cetera. I stated it also gets

Mr. William J. Crockett, Deputy Under Secretary of State fo I-~ '-*3 3° .Administration called and stated the State Department has a problem in that 4
there are more and more terroristic activities happening in the South American
countries against our people, our residences, and our Embassies. He statedwhat he would like to do is develop some kind of a handbook or some kind of
a statement of principles they could send to the Embassies to give them some
guidance in how to protect our people against these activities. He stated his
question was whom I could recommend, other than myself, who would be know- 4
ledgeable about such things and whom they could borrow for a while. '
I told Mr. Crockett I would be happy to ask Assistant Director William C.Sullivan, who is in charge of our Domestic Intelligence Division and supervisor of
our liaison and our Legal Attaches abroad and, in fact, is now handling the
Dominican situation, to go over and talk with Mr. Crockett. I stated we also
would be glad to try to work up suggestions that we offer as we do to our .or add ti own peo le that he mig want to 4-_~;z_

- '-.there are many things an Ambassador can do for his protection and that of his
family which can be done without stirring up public attention; that I hate to seethese things which are done getting into the papers so quickly through leaks. '
I stated I thought the idea Mr. Crockett had in mind was an excellent one and I
would be glad to have Assistant Director Sullivan see Mr. Crockett at Mr. Crockett's ;'
convenience or whomever Mr. Crockett desired. Mr. Crockett suggested that -
Mr. Sullivan have his secretary call and he, Crockett, would make himself available
at Mr. Sullivan's convenience. Mr. Crockett expressed his appreciation.K

I returned an earlier call from the Attorney General and he
stated he just wanted to say how appreciative he was of the promptaction taken at Bogalusa, Louisiana. He stated he thought it helped_
a great deal to cool off a situation which was getting very dangerous.
I stated it is fortunate that there is a good Mayor down there and a
good Governor of the State, who are strongly opposed to this
activity. I stated the man has been arrested and will be tried by the
State authorities, but our people are also making the necessary in-
vestigation so we can do whatever we want to in case the jury lets
the man off.
The Attorney General stated to his mind the important
thing was that suddenly all law enforcement authorities moved and
we were in there and he thought that had a good sobering eect and
the fact I was able to move my people so quickly was very helpful
and he wanted to tell me so. I thanked him for calling and for his
comments.

MR. ROSEN »
/' sAssistant Director John F. Malone called from New Yorkyand
advised in regard to his earlier call to me today concerning the source of
the false rumor of the President's illness yesterday, he had just received
a call from Mr. Edwin Weisl. Mr. Malone stated Mr. Weisl stated he had
" called several of the leading brokerage houses in New York upon his arrival
at his office to determine their source of the information in regard to the
President's illness yesterday and without exception, they all indicated they
had received calls from their floor broker, who is their representative at
the New York Stock Exchange and as soon as they received word from their
man, they had somebody in the house sit down and pass the word on to their
customers. Mr. Malone stated he asked Mr. Weisl if there were any female
brokers on the floor of the Stock Exchange and Mr. Weisl stated there were
not but the various companies have female employees in the house that they
would instruct to sit down and pass the word on to their customers.
Mr. Malone continued that he called Mr. George Keith Funston,
President of the New York Stock Exchange, who stated they are conducting an
investigation the New York Stock Exchange! and he will keep Mr. Malone
fully advised of any developments. Mr. Malone stated they have no information
concerning any woman making any calls and the main source of the rumor now
seems to be these two brokers who called John Wingate of WOR. Mr. Malone
stated their names are not known but two of Mr. Funston's representatives are
trying to find out from Mr. Wingate the identities of the brokers and if they
find out, they will let Mr. Malone know and he will pass it along to me.
Mr. Malone stated he has contacted some other sources in other brokerage
houses on an informal basis and none knew anything about it other than the
story started on the floor of the New York Stock Exchange. Mr. Malone stated
Mr. Funston pointed out that as a result of the speech given in New York by
William McChesney Martin, Jr. , Chairman of the Federal Reserve Board last
week, everybody is on "pins and needles" and as soon as anything like this
happens, it magnifies and, frankly, they are worried about it and do not know
how it will go today. I asked Mr. Malone to let me know if he gets any information.

After being advised telephonically by Mr. DeL0ach, I called the
President and told him I thought I would let him know that we had just rece
word from the Securities and Exchange Commission that Senator Harrison
Williams of New Jersey proposed next week to start an investigation as to
this rumor about the President's health which swept Wall Street yesterday
and he would not do so if he was told that we did not want him to do so.ived
I stated I took the position that it is a matter Senator Williams
would have to decide himself; that I did not want to tell him not to or to do
so; that an investigation was being made and if he saw fit to make another,
it was up to him. I stated I did not feel it was desirable to put him under
any obligation to hold off, but if the President's views were to the contrary,
he can hold off.l- a
The President stated he did not think so and for us to go on and _,
make ours and we would take a look at it. "'. .¥_

Assistant Director John F. Malone called to advise that, as a
result of my call last night, they contacted some of their sources in New
York that were available in regard to the rumor of a woman's calling and
a stroke. HeI
Pres
They knew
rumor but nobody knew of any any
Mr. Malone talked to Ed Weisl also.
These men pointed out the rumor started on the floor of the
New York Stock Exchange sometime before noon. All of the brokerage
houses have been advised; that when stories of this type start, the brokerage
houses are notified immediately; Ed Weisl thinks one of the sources was theNew York Sto hgchange or Dow Jones; somebody thought it was the causeof the rumo_g¬ia.n e result; he Ed Weisl! said he will find out the minute
he gets to his office this morning and let Mr. Malone know.
Mr. Malone said this morning they have contacted their sources
in some brokerage houses; that they know about the rumor but know nothing
about a woman making the calls.
Mr. Malone advised in the New York Times this morning there
is an article by Richard Phalon which points out an official of the New YorkStock Exchange advised he heard about the rumor around 12:30 yesterday;~_ that it started on the floor of the New York Stock Exchange. In an interesting
_ _ paragraph at the end of the article, Phalon speculates how the rumor may" have started as a result of a garbled version of commentary made Tuesdaynight by John Wingate on WOR. He stated many rumors spread across the~ floor of the stock exchange; that the most ridiculous, and absolutely untrue, is
that the President had suffered a stroke. ' ALLINFORMAFIQN CONTAINED

Memorandum for Messrs. Tolson, Belmont, June 10, 1965
DeLoach, Rosen
Mr. Wingate had received two telephone calls from brokers
passing the rumor along before the broadcast Tuesday night.
Mr. Malone stated they do "not plan to conduct fiuther investi-
gation. I told him I did not think we need do anything more; that I will
talk to the President.
I asked Mr. Malone if anybody has considered it might be
someone caught short and selling short on the stock exchange. He said
no; that they mentioned that to Mr. Weisl and Weisl said that was rather
remote; he thinks the calls were perfectly legitimate but he will keep
that in mind.
Mr. Malone stated he would call me back after he hears from
Mr. Weisl. I instructed him to call me directly. A

I am attaching hereto a copy of a "Report of the ommitte -Problems.>Connected With Mental Examination of the Accused inCases, Bnéfore Trial." This was largely prepared by Chief Judge Bazelon
of the Circuit Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia. I would like to '
have it ygry carefully reviewed. I understand that it proposes to have psycho-
logical éjtaminations made by a special unit to be set up as a part of the court
system In the District of Columbia consisting of three pscyhologists and three
psychiatrists. Heretofore the examinations have been made at St. Elizabeth's
Hospital, and under the previous Superintendent of that Hospital, Dr. Overholser,
' Judge Bazelon was able to manipulate the assignment of psychiatrists to the
extent that when certain psychiatrists recommended a person was sane, he
would arrange to have them transferred from -the criminal examination ward
to the geriatric examination ward. I understand that under the new Superintendent
of St. Elizabeth's Hospital, he will not accede to any such superyision-pr
direction by Judge Bazelon merely to meet the whims of Judge_. _B_azelo?rand
his unusual and peculiar views concerning psychiatric examinations.§
.~_ ,~ v- .- " I»
I also understand that in this report there is a proposal that if a manpleads that his crime has been committed because of some imotionél disturbance
and he is sent to the Government hospital for the insane, if after remaining
in that hospital for two years and not been found sane, the incfictn;e_nt against
the man will be dismissed even though he may be released a few months later
with no indictment standing against him. ; _. '
1 I
I want considerable care given to the analysis of this report because
I understand that Judge Baz elon has practically stacked the Judicial Conference
._Iin fairer 0{;hiS report. The report will be considered in September of this year
. but 19}-2 musthave an early analysis of it so that we can study it and determine

MR. DE LOACH , . " _,-hat;.»/-'-* -5.The Attorney General called. He stated he has been conc¢e'rned about
the Martin Luther King position on Vietnam and he wondered whether the Bureau
could put together a memorandum on: 1. How King gets on this to this extent;
and 2. has there been any hard Communist Party line tieing together Vietnam
and the civil rights movement. I stated we would get that together. The
Attorney General stated he thought it would be helpful to have for the Secretary
of State and the President something that would tie some of this together.
I stated there was no doubt in my mind from information we have had
in the past few months that King, Levison and Jones in New York have been ;
having these huddles together meeting at the Kennedy Airport motor inn, I
stated, of course, Stanley Levison is a member of the Communist Party and
Clarence Jones also. The Attorney General asked if we had any information
independent of that that the Communist Party is trying to tie Vietnam and civil
rights together. I stated I thought there was something along that line from
informants in the Party that there is a definite tie in on that and we have had
at various demonstrations over the last months, actual communists marching
in the demonstrations. I referred briefly to the demonstrations on the Berkeley
campus of the University of California.
The Attorney General stated there is a fair identity with civil rights
groups of a lot of people who have taken the liberal line on civil rights and on
Vietnam and there has always been.that identity of view, but he is more interested
in the hard part of it because he spoke with Roy Wilkins, who is somewhat upset
and thinks it is wrong, as did James Farmer. The Attorney General stated they
are concerned with what King is doing and he, the Attorney General, thought
maybe Bayard Rustin was in it but he is inclined to think it is not Rustin. I stated
I thought it was Levison and Jones.

On July 12, 1965, the Attorney General came around from his office
to see me relative to the problem he is facing in connection with testifying before
Senator Long's Committee concerning technical installations and electronic use
for listening purposes. He stated that he did not anticipate any problem concerning
technical devices and I told him we had been assured by Senator Eastland, Chairman
of the main committee of which Senator Long of Missouri is a Chairman of a
subcommittee that Senator Long would not raise any questions about the FBI's
operations in the matter of technical surveillances and electronic devices.
The Attorney General stated he felt that in view of the pressure that
is being broughtto bear, particularly on the Internal Revenue Service, he would
like to have all microphone installations suspended at this time. He stated not
to remove such microphones, but to stop any coverage of the same so that he would
be in a position to state that there was no coverage of microphones by the FBI.
I immediately informed Mr. Belmont in the presence of the Attorney General and
told him to see that appropriate orders were issued to all field officshaving
microphone installations to stop coverage of the same but to allow the microphones
to remain in and not take them out until further word from the Attorney General.
In the meantime, of course, we should not send any requests for
microphone installations to the Attorney General for approval but should await
the outcome of the present developments in the hearings before the Long Committee.
When the Attorney General appeared before the Long Committee yesterday,
Mr. Bernard Fensterwald, Jr. , who is the Chief Counsel of the Committee, did
go into the matter of technical installations by the FBI and asked various questions
concerning the same, and the Attorney General has agreed to supply certain

July 14, 1965
Memorandum for Messrs. Tolson, Belmont, Gale, Rosen, Sullivan, DeLoach
information. I instructed yesterday that a memorandum be prepared immediately
for the Attorney General giving him the answers to the questions which had been
asked of him that pertain to the FBI. Obviously Senator Long did not keep his
promise to Senator Eastland relative to involving the FBI in this investigation
which the Long Committee is making and which has been largely centered upon
the Internal Revenue Service and its activities in the Pittsburgh field division.
As regards the technical surveillances which we have in operation, I
note that the Attorney General is holding and has not yet approved about six such
requests for technical surveillances, and I believe that this is probably due to the
hearings which are being held by the Long Committee. I believe that we may be
compelled to withdraw all technical surveillances but so far that has not been
ordered by the Attorney General and we will continue the coverage of those which
we have in operation.
In view of the growing delicacy in this whole field, I will be more
reluctant to approve requests for technical surveillances until the atmosphere
has been clarified. _
I realize the value of technical surveillances as well as of microphone
installations, both in our security and in our crime investigations, but if it be the
will of Congress and the desire of the Attorney General that they be completely
suspended, we will, of course, have to comply with it.
In the meantime, I want you to be most circumspect in requesting
approval of any technical s1u~veillances and discontinue any which are not really
productive.

received w'_o'rd directly from Senator Long that he does not intend to call
and will not call anyone from the Department in "connection with the
heargs he his gone into.
"3; ..3 Qhe Attorney General injected that he, Senator Long, keeps I
writing" him letters. I said I think Fensterwald puts the Senator up to it.
I continued that Senator Long's statement was that he was
disgusted and outraged at the actions of the Internal Revenue Service and
had no intention of calling anyone from the FBI about activities of the
FBI as he knows we have tight controls and would not want to discuss
-any of the FBI's actions in association with Internal Revenue Service.
I stated I do not put too much credence in Senator Long's

Government agencies, without mentioning Internal Revenue Service by
name, in matters that deal with technical surveillance or use ofelectronics. I advised him that I had discussed this personally with
the SACs I saw on my trip to the-West Coast.
' The Attorney General remarked that he wishes he could
handle Senator Long as well as Judge Bazelon. I told him he did a
tremendous job-on that score and that I had heard many good comments
from prominent lawyers, as well as our own people, on the West Coast
concerning this. I mentioned also the excellent press coverage on this
on the Coast. -
