At 11:08 p. m. SAC Ray Faisst advised that they had also
heard of this alleged break attributed to the Governor of Alabama
and that inquiries through sources of the Birmingham Office have
not produced any information indicating subjects had been developed
nor were arrests imminent at this time. Faisst was again instructed
to press this matter vigorously to develop all information which might
be the basis for the Governor's statement.

At 11:56 p. m. SAC Earl Dalness advised that the sources
close to the Governor in the Alabama Department of Public Safety
both of whom are investigators in the Investigative and Identication '
Division of this department and both members of the National Academy
were presently working this case in Birmingham and attempts to reach
them by phone at their known places of lodging had been unsuccessful.
Dalness indicated that a source of information in the radio and
television industry had indicated that the Governor is actually -
weathered in at Jacksonville, Florida, and although he may arrive
in Montgomery within the hour, it is not felt that he personally made
the press release but same came from his office. Dalness was
further impressed with vigorously following this matter to determine
if possibile the basis for the Governor's statemert of imminent
arrests. _M

He told me that he feels that this situation will probably

is outspoken in his support of Governor Wallace and is the most voca

SAC Moore is of the opinion that the state authorities
obviously knew that we had been putting tremendous pressure on the
Chambliss group. Obviously the word got back to Shelton's crowdand they apparently felt they had to jump in and beat the Federal Q
authorities to action- it by taking some
It is possible that this will backfire and that these people
may be subjected to a law suit. Moore indicated that Chambliss used

BOMBING MATTERS ' ._ .
I talked with SAC Roy Moore who advised me that yesterday,
Shelton rode around with the State Policemost of the day. It is Moore's
opinion that Luna, the investigator for the Klan, obviously talked with Hall
and Cash and others who were told of the pressure being put on by the FBI.
Luna obviously got in touch with Shelton concerning this and, in turn, this
information was given to Posey, the investigator for the State of Alabama
Alabama Highway Patrol!. It appears this may be the basis for the procedure
followed by the Alabama Highway Patrol in trying to jump the gun and pick up
these persons with the hope that they might have gotten a confession. So far
it does not appear they have been successful because both Chambliss and
Cagle are being heid on open charges by the Birmingham Police Department
for the Alabama Highway Patrol.
ham concerning the examination of the evidence which was submitted as having
come from the crime scene search at the explosion at 16th and Center Street
on September 25, 1963. I called attention to the piece of coathanger cut with
a pinching tool such as a diagonal cutting pliers or electricians pliers; also,
the other items which might be susceptible of identification. Mmre indicates
that he is aware of this and they are pressing every possibility to come up with
this, particularly one part which they felt came from a Hudson automobile and
might have some bearing on the possibility of further identification.
With reference to the trip which Chambliss took to Florida, this
was a regular run. He delivered parts which had been previously sold by/

Memo to McGowan from Rosen
The report concerning the Hercules Powder Company having sold
some dynamite on August 23, to a "redneck" concerning whom a license number
was obtained has been washed out. The individual was identied and eliminated,
according to Moore.
There was no meeting of the United Americans for Conservative
Government Chambliss outfit! yesterday. Not a car appeared in the open area
along the river where they meT; lvloore vindicated, however, that the technical
equipment which they tested out worked excellently. They were able to communi
cate with Agents who were in the woods with good delity at distances up to one
mile. The Agents had on one of the portable transmitting and receiving setswhich are carried on the body. J1! Q ft; £9,
.Yesterday-Birmingham had d in the office for
two or three hours. They came in voluntarily. Saturday night they had Chambli:
in. Obviously this wo uld become known after they left the office. We will con-
tinue to put the pressure on these people and talk with them repeatedly as we
have in the past.
Concerning the surveys which are being made, Roy Moore advises
there is a real problem because it appears that the telephone company is getting
numerous reports from all of the neighbors and friends of this group Chambliss,
et al!, which has resulted in the telephone company having to check out suspicion
persons in the area. One individual caught climbing a pole and it developed
he had nothing to do with any attempt to put in any device. Moore pointed this
out to show the attitude of the local people and indicated that with Chambliss and
the rest being as conscious as they are they were going to move a little slowly
in recommending any coverage; however, they would continue to survey the
situation.

Memorandum to Mr. Rosen
RE: BAPBOMB
In July, 1958, Public Safety Commissioner Eugene "Bull"
Connor advised that "Iynamite" Chambliss was arrested in connection with
the bombing in North Birmingham on 7/ 17/ 58 but was released.
In Gctober, 1958, Chambliss was interviewed concerning the
bombing of the Clinton, Tennessee, High School on 10/5/58 and the bombing
of the Jewish Temple, Atlanta, Georgia, on 10/l2/ 58. Chambliss denied
participation and stated he no longer belonged to the Ku Klux Klan or any
similar group. He admitted that if Negroes tried to integrate his community,
he himself would take care of the situation.
Chambliss on 10/ 13/ 58, upon interview, indicated that he had

from the arrests of three men in connection with ie July dynamiting in the
Fountain Heights residential area of Birmingham.
The files of the Birmingham Office indicate that Chambliss
has been frequently a suspect in connection with dynamitlng of Negro
residences in Birmingham in the past and has voiced threats of violence
against Negroes and Jews. Birmingham Police Department has questioned
him on practicany an bombings of Negro residences in Bh-mingham but
has never obtained definite proof cormecting him with such acts.
In 1961 Chambliss was deleted from the potential bombing
suspect list of the Birmingham Office since investigation of several bombings
failed to indicate that Chambliss was involved in any of them. Established
sources accounted for his whereabouts on all occasions.
During an interview on 5/21/63 Chambliss of 2505 32nd Avenue,
North, Birmingham, Alabama, advised that it was none of the FBI's business
as to his whereabouts on Saturday, 5/ 11/ 63 the date of the bombing of the Gaston
Motel and the residence of A. D. W; King!, He stated he knew where he was on
that evening and it was "up to the FBI to find out. " He denied participation in
the bombings and indicated that if he did possess any information he would not
furnish such information to the FBI.
Attached is the FBI Identification Record on Robert E. Chambliss
under number 1004302.

up any clues to the crime
that may damage the Negro
cause.
These rumors are similar
to others under was even be-
icre Sundays bombing. They
gained strength ti-om a re-
mark Gov. George C. Wallace
made last week to the eect
that the Justice Departmentcould not be trusted to make
public anything about previ-
ous bombinas that might em-
barrass civil-rlghters.
The spread oi the rumors
indicates no mistrust in the[Far Instead. it indicates
monumental mistrust of the
chief of the Justice Desert-Fnent, Robert F. Kennedy.
whose name is anathema in
much of Alabama. .-
'; However. Mr. Kennedy's
statements on Birmingham,
whichweere carried here on
television Thursday morning.
were so tempered that they
were iowiully received by the ity administration. Mr. Ken-Eisdy said he didn't think
deral troops were neces-
sary here. He added that he
doubted anything could be
accomplished by saying.
Everyone's g¢"" to get
alon or we'll prick you with8
a bayonet."
The tone o Ularka
made it easier ior Mayor Al-
bert Boutwell later in the day
to ask the Attorney Gene:-al's
brother, the President, to re
ceive an official white delega-
tion irom Birmingham. In
Birmingham, it is an act oi
political daring to seek direct
communication with a Ken-
nedrr.
The Mayors delegation will
tell the President on Monday
the city a-zimihistratiorrs side
oi the story in an eiiort to
balance some of the views
expressed to the President
Thursday by seven Negro
leaders headed by the Rev.
Dl;...lida.id:J.n, Luther King Jr.
Meanwhile, leaders oi bothfl
races appeared. =-i.',iia:.:e.g,e-
onerate with the two-man
task force beinz sent here by
President Kennedy--Kenneth.
C. Royal and Earl "lied"
Blalk. They voiced the opinion
that the two will hare to
concern themselves with
Birmingham's economic prob-
lems. not lust the outward
sisns or racial conict.
The basis oi the discontent
or Negroes n their lack or
participation in the main-
stream oi the city's economy."
said Arthur Shores, Neiro at-
torney whose home has been
bombed twice.
W. C. Hamilton, executive
secretary to the Mayor. caress
that the basis is economic, but
discounted the implication at
discrimination. He put it this
war: "There is a wide lack
oi opportunity . for both
and whites, particu-
larly in unskilled lobe."
Also cltihs the economic
aspect of the conict was the
Most. Rev. Thomas J. Toolen,
Archbishop of the Mobile-
Bh-mingham Diocese. In a.
pastoral letter that will be
r-ad tomorrow from all Cath-
olic Dulpits in Alabama end
northwest Florida, he said:
"We see the fair cit! oi
Birmingham slowly being de-
stroyed. For neither business
nor industry will come into
a city in which there is so
much hatred and_ destruc-
tion." _
As for the church-bombing,
he said: it is diicult to un-
derstand how a civilized hu-
man being could have in his
heart such hatred."
Attendance at the three
Cesegregated schools contin-
ued to rise yesterdar. but
Mrs. Ray McFali, a leader of
the private school movement,
said this does not mean we're

Memorandum for the Attorney General _
told, that such close cooperation prejudices the FBI and results in no _ -.
results being obtained. That, oi course, is an absolute fallacy tor we _
have obtained results in a number oi church bombings and other civil
rights violations. " ' _ _ S ' ' 1 f
_ However, in order to minimize as much as possible the
unwarranted criticism which the FBI has received, we have over the last -e
year retrained from close contacts or connection with the local authorities.
This l have regretted because a gulf has gradually developed and we are -
not kept informed as we have been in the past oi actions contemplated
and developments in cases handled by the local authorities. In the late -
twenties and early thirties there was great reluctance upon the part oi
the local authorities to cooperate with the FBI and it took us several years -A
before we could break down this reluctance, but we finally did so and irom '92
that time until within the last year we have had the closest cooperation from
the local authorities in all matters including civil rights. That cooperation
has now practically ended by reason oi our refraining from dealing with the
local authorities. I personally do not approve oi this policy because I think
law enforcement should work as a team, and the mere tact that we have had
in the past cordial relationships with local authorities did not mean that we
iavored them ii they violated any Federal statute. As a matter oi tact, our
record shows that we have vigorously investigated and successfully
prosecuted local authorities when Federal laws have been violated.
Another aspect out this matter which I think should be drawn ,
to your attention has been the constant complaint made by the Negro elements
in the South that there was no use to report matters to the FBI because
all oi our Agents in the South were Southerners. This complaint was untrue.
Martin Luther King several months ago made a speech in which he claimed
that all of our Agents in Albany, Georgia, where there had been violent
racial demonstrations, were born in the deep South and Negroes should not
report matters to that office. We have iive Agents at Albany, Georgia, and
I checked into the matter and found that four oi the five had been born in
northern states and that only one had been born in what could be called the '
deep South. I made an effort to effect an appointment with Martin Luther
King so as to correct his impression, assuming he had been misinformed,
but he refused to make an appointment so I, therefore, have to conclude
that he was deliberately lying when he made the statement he did.
Nevertheless the effect of his statement in the South and the statements oi
other Negro leaders has resulted in the impression that practically all of
our southern offices are manned by Agents who were born in the South.

Now the climax seems to have iinally been reached because A
last week in cenierences with Blatk and Royall the Negro leaders m l '*
Birmingham claimed that they could not put any reliability in the FBI
because the northern Agents who have been assigned to southern offices
have married or are marrying girls born in the South. I certainly do not
intend to issue any orders forbidding any Agentin this service to marry
a girl irrespective oi where she may be born. 92/I think the limit oi
palliation and appeasement has been reached. The Bureau lms and intends
to continue to vigorously investigate any violationsoi the civil rights statutes
which are authorized by the Departrnentt loin no doubt, DAVE noted that
in the newspapers in the last week quite a number oi Negro leaders have
referred to the fact that there have been forty-six bombings in Alabama I
and none has been solved by the FBI. This again is a falsehood. Under
the procedure set up by the Department we must sgbmit to the Civil Rights
Division a report on any bombing which takes place and the Civil Rights
Division then determines whether the FBI should initiate a full and thorough
investigation. Out of the forty-six bombing which have taken place in
Alabama the Bureau has been authorized to investigate only iive by the
Civil Rights Division. = r o
Because Ofjth contention oi the Civil Rights Division, andl
think a very sound one, that the law as passed by Congress which raises
a presumption that the explosive used in a bombing has been transported
interstate does not relieve the local or state authorities irom active
investigations oi such bombings, in instances where there is even a
substantial indication that the explosives have been transported interstate C
the Department has authorized full investigations and the Bureau has made
I wanted to set forth my views concerning this matter because f
there is becoming more and more misunderstand.ing_ about just what the
FBI's authority is and what it does and the reason why it does it. -
