Congressman Carl Elliott, Democrat, Alabama, with '
whom we have enjoyed cordial relations, has advised by letter
oi 3/2/64 he would appreciate having a "status report on the
progress of the Federal Bureau oi Investigation's inquiry int .
the church bombing at Birmingham last year."
Relations with Congressman Elliott: Vs" ' """' l-l|ll_IlI1_ '7 _1""IIII ,
On 3/12/63 the Director met Congressman Elliott at
which time Congressman Elliott stated his purpose in calling was
to pay his respects to Mr, Hoover whom he considers one oi the
country's greatest men. Following his visit, Congressman Elliott
furnished a copy oi his newsletter to his constituents in which
he praised Hr. Hoover and the FBI, and in which the photograph oi
Elliott shaking hands with the Director appeared, along with the
statement, "l only wish that every Alabamian could have the
opportunity, as I did, to be personally briefed by Hr. Hoover
on the Comunist conspiracy." From time to time through personal
contact by Hr. DeLoach's Office, we have furnished Congressman
Elliott literature on comunism for use in his speeches, and he
was presented an autographed copy of the Director's book "A Study
or Communism" in January, 1963.

real evidence. Extensive investigation has shown a lack or
the necessary evidence oi interstate transportation oi an
explosive to permit Federal prosecution, however, we are
continuing to press this investigation ior a possibleIprosecutable violation.
The Department authorized the SAC, Birmingham, to -
appear beiore the Federal Grand Jury in session at Birmingham
in February, 1964, in response to a request by Federal Judge
Clarence Allgood tor information as to developments in this
case. The SAC, Birmingham, was instructed to confine his remarks
to this statement: "That this Bureau initiated extensive
investigation at the very outset of the case, that we are
continuing to exert all-out effort to bring this matter to a
logical conclusion, that we have cooperated with local authorities
throughout investigation and are continuing to cooperate, that we
have conducted thousands oi interviews, that we have conducted
extensive technical examinations oi various types oi material
which may have a bearing upon the ultimate solution oi the case
through the facilities of the FBI Laboratory and Identification
Divisions." SAC, Birmingham, was instructed that no specific
details or suspects names should be furnished to the Grand Jurygnizhg did appear confining his remarks as outlined above on
4. _
RECOHHHDRTIOHS2
Although our relationship with Congressman Elliott
has been warm and cordial, it appears the operations oi his oiiice
and stat! must be viewed in the over-all light oi inquiries he may
receive from those having associations with the Alabama Highway
Petrol. Accordingly, it appears any data given the Congressman
should not go beyond the scope oi the general statement given the
Federal Grand Jury. It is recommended that Congressman Elliott be
orally infbrmed by ur. DeLoach's Oiiice of the status oi our
investigation within the framework or the statement provided the
Federal Grand Jury in Birmingham.

Memorandum to ur. Belmont -
BE: BHKHUHH SUBJECTS; BQHBIHG OF
' SIXTEENTH STREET BAPTIST CHURCH
Extensive interviews of all logical persons who
might have had knowledge of the bombing were completed by
the Birmingham Office. These interviews running into the
thousands included all persons in the church; a1l'residents
of the area for blocks around the church; all tadesmen and P
business people in the area; police, iire and civil defense
personnel; all persons who came through the area on subsequent
days and the suppliers of explosives,
As a result of the intensive investigation and
our informants, information was developed on a small group
of men within the Eastview Klavern of the United Klans,
Knights of the Kn Klux Klan, as probably being responsible
for the bombing. we intensified our investigation of this
group. Included in this group were Robert_§hamb1iss.Charles Arnie Qagle and John Wesley Hall. "
PREMATURE ACTION BY THE ALABAMA HIGHWAY RATROL:
On 9/29/63 and 10/1/63, the Alabama Highway
Patrol arrested the above three suspects and held them for
48 hours before placing a charge against them of illegal
possession of dynamite. The three men were convicted and
each received a maximum sentence of a $100 fine and 180
days in Jail, The three men have appealed and are presently
free on bond, '
We have been reliably informed that the Alabama
Highway Patrol had no evidence against these men and the
arrests were made on the direct orders of Colonel Al Lingo,

assumed that locally there is no interference problem. Additionally, from a -"" 7* " security standpoint, any frequency chosen can of course be monitored providing

McHILLAN stated he had also contacted U. S. ' 'case who is cons d
Attorney MACON L. WEAVER, Birmingham, who prov1ded_h1m
with some general background information and indicated
that there were thousends_of persons interviewed by the e
FBI. He mentioned that Assistant U. S. Attorney R. MACEY

on the
TAYLOR
arrestsuggested that he drop by this office even though t'~
pointed out that we were not in a position to comment
matter. He stated he had endeavored to have
comment or render an opinion as to whether the '
of three individuals on about September l, 1963,
in connection with local transportation of dynamite -
charges had jeopardized the success of any FBI
investigation-
McMILLAN stated that before he walked into H
the FBI Office he was aware of the fact that we probably
could not answer any questions he might have, but he
still wanted to drop by to get acquainted. He said
that actually he did not need many facts to write his-
article. He said his article could be prepared with -
surprisingly few facts and would be filled with human
interest items. He asked one specific question, that
is, whether the arrest by the Alabama Highway Patrol on
about September 1, 1963, had jeopardized the success of
an other investigation in the Bapbomb case. He wastoid that we certainly could not comment on that, and
that our position in this case is no different than it
would be in any other case because traditionally we
have never placed ourselves in a position where we
evaluate the efficiency or inefficiency of any other
law enforcement agency and it is not our prerogative
to make such comments. He stated that he anticipates
returning to his home within the next several days
and in the near future may drop by to see AAG BURKE
MARSHALL or ED GUTHMAN of the Department for some
additional background if necessary although he is
inclined to doubt whether it would be necessary.

Dear Edgar: I ' i :
Recently I have received several inquiries about
the status of the investigation into the tragic
bombing in Bi rmingham last September.
i
It seems to me no stone can be left unturned in x
our attempts to find the murderer or murderers "
of the four youngsters. If you need more
investigators or facilities to accomplish this p
goal, do not hesitate to allocate the necessary '
funds even if this must be at the expense of . -
projects of lesser importance. Be sure that
I realize the many obstacles which have been
placed in the path of your competent investigators.
I would appreciate hearing from you on the present
status of the investigation. It is also my under- - '
standing that a nuznber of bombings in Birrningharn
connected with racial intolerance have remained
unsolved in the past few years. I would appreciate
a status report on these investigations. J.
¬ -ncerel , - -1.

have_serious1y disrupted Klan activities by our pressure and
interviews so that these organizations have lost members and

every possible means in an attempt to bring about a solution. we

Our Agent personnel have used imagination and ingenuity *
to seriously hamper the activities of the suspects in this case t

Memorandum to Mr. Belmont
RE: BOMBING OF THE SIXTEENTH
STREET BAPTIST CHURCH
.-' Q
It should be noted that the Birmingham Office is under
inspection at the present time. We have exerted extreme pressure
from the Seat of Government on this case but it is believed
advisable for Assistant Director Gale to go down to Birmingham
with a fresh viewpoint to go over the situation to see right on
the scene whether there are any additional pressure points that
can be brought to bear.
By doing this, we can then say in the letter to the
President that the Director has sent an Assistant Director of
this Bureau to Birmingham to insure that all possible steps to
s lve these cases a e b ing taken. ,O yarnge, ,:§.t,,,Q.¢_,q_£92_n4'!R¢ vv='92'=~*99'b

Mr. Hoover received your letter oi Aprll' I*I§-art3asked me to advise you that the FBI is continuing its lntensre Qinvestigation of the September 15th bombing oi the church Q 9;;
Birmingham in which tour children were killed. The complete
resources of this Bureau are being utilized to solve this case.

He asked me to point out that the FBI endeavors to
resolve each oi its investigations as promptly as possible but that
every situation diers and the results in one case cannot be compared
with the results in another. _

Alabama on April 15, reports that Governor Matthew E. Welsh _said of Governor Wallace: 3 F?¬
This is the man whose beliefs were responsible J 5'
for the deaths of innocent children in the bombing F-1 1.,.of a Sunday School class." I
The statement refers, ofcourse, to the bombing of the
negro Church in Birmingham last summer resulting in the death Qof two or three Negro children. This statement is only the 3%
latest, regular, seemingly unending use of this unsolved, heinohsvécrime to slur, indict and condemn people of the entire south, ,inot Alabama alone, collectively or individually as the occasioQg; *may dictate. K X:
The
as well as
Birminghamnews media at the time of this particular bombing,
most of the many others that have occurred in t._
in resent years, reported that the FBI was investigating
but so far as the public is informed neither this particular
bombing nor any of the others have been solved.
This situation is conspiciously mystifying when one notes
that similar crimes in other areas of the nation have been and
are being solved by the FBI with expediency and apparent ease.aThe latest example of this is the Florida East Coast Railroad Kbombings and the bombing of a Negro home in Jacksonville, Fla. g
No criticism, direct or implied, is here intended of the
FBI. The institution you head is the finest in Washington -
barring none. I realize that ypuhcgnnot in any way control the
use others make of ihnnincidenthere described. But.if there is
any information you may properly give me as to why the FBI has

By letter dated April 8, 1964, President Lyndon B. J ohnson inquired 5
conceiring the status of the Birmingham bombings. He was appropriately advised ff,->_t ,i'.?»*"on April 10-, 1964, and Mr. Rosen recommended, and it was approved, that I proceed It
to the scene to determine whether there are any additional pressure points that '
can be brought to bear and to assure that all possible steps to solve these cases are ;
being taken. Mr. Tolson instructed that all 6 bombings We are investigating in , ' ,,_,,=,oBirmingham be looked into. 1' - ll 3
BE$llLT$ 03I_Il@UIRY;, r"
A thorough review was made into all aspects of the 6 unsolved bombings1 and it was the Inspector's conclusion that all of these cases have been given a most
vigorous and intensive investigation. Thousands of persons have been interviewed,
a great many ingenious techniques were used to solve these cases without success"/,5to date. All of the in; estigation conducted to date indicates strongly that all 6
bombings were probably perpetrated by members of the Eastview Klavern of the; *7 l Ku Klux Klan KKK! with possible assistance of several individuals from the
Bessemer, Alabama, Klavern. Approximately 16 men from these two groups form
a select hard core "action" group who are undoubtedly responsible for personal violence
and bombings against Negroes in this area for a long period of timer _
Inspector f eels that there is a good possibility that we would have already
solved some of these bombings had it not been for the interference of the Alabamal Highway Patrol, the Birmingham City Police, and the Jefferson County Sheriff's

Re: Bombing of 16th Street Baptist Church
This, of course, has seriously hampered our investigation.
We lnve interviewed and re-interviewed the suspects and their associates
I to the point where we are getting practically nothing from them. In fact, most of
I them will not even talk to us. Spot surveillances of the Klansmen have been un-
productive and Inspector feels at this time that they are familiar with most of our
cars in this area. While we have received some very worthwhile information from
informants, we do not have enough coverage of the "action" group. There have been
no bombings or other violence since September 25, 1963, undoubtedly partly. as a
1 result of investigative pressure there are

The local authorities, both city and state, have reduced their investigative
activity concerning the bombings to a minimum. Insge ctor feels that there must
be a fresh approach at this time and we should attempt to place microphone coverage

Menn for Mr. Tolson
Re: Bombing of 16th Street Baptist Church
Grand Jury as well as "fringe members" close to the "action" group who appear to
be on the edges of the conspiracy but not directly involved in the bombings, yet
apparently in possession of valuable information.
Inspector feels that with additional coverage it may even be possible
to catch some of the Klan "action" squad in the act of committing violence such
as we did in solving the Florida train bombings recently. If this is not feasible
we must at least place ourselves in the position where we are aware of new bombing
and take appropriate preventative action.
At the present time all 6 bombings are being worked out of one case, i. e
bombing of the 16th Street Baptist Church. This was done with Bureau approval on the
theory that the suspects in the Baptist Church bombing were the same as those in the
other bombings. At one time this may have been desirable, but at the present time
Inspector feels this is highly undesirable. Subsequent investigation has disclosed
that while there are some instances where the same individual may possibly have
participated in several bombings, there are other instances where different
individuals of the Klan "action" squad apparently participated in the different
bombings.
The office has naturally concentrated on the key suspects of the Baptist
Church bombing wherein the 4 little giris were killed. However, by doing this
the investigation on some of the logical suspects in the other 5 bombings have more
or less drifted and lost intensity. lnspe ctor feels these cases should be worked
separately and investigation of these 5 bombings intensified.
The Birmingham Office had been submitting a daily teletype summary
to the Bureau up until 3/ 12/ 64. They are now submitting a weekly summary. In
order to intensify the pressure on this case and provide for closer supervision,
Inspector feels that Birmingham should be required to submit a daily summary
on the Baptist Church bombing and a weekly airtel summary on the other bombings.
When special squad in Birmingham, we had SAC Roy Moore of Little
Rock, devoting full time to this case. SAC Faisst in Birmingham has over 4-30
cases on his desk, including the bombing cases, together with the bulk of the public
relations, personnel responsibilities, etc. Inspector does not feel Faisst can
provide necessary leadership, guidance and impetus to the 6 bombing cases with
such a heavy work load. Inspector feels Faisst should be authorized to use Relief
Supervisor on his desk 56% of each day and that Faisst be required to spend 50%
of his time supervising and providing the necessary imaginative, vigorous and
ingenious approach on these 5 bombings so that they will be solved.
An equivalency of 4 Agents have been working on instant bombings for
the past 2 mont hs. . With the return of 2 men from special assignment, the office
contemplated assigning 6 men to these bombings. Manpower analysis conducted
_3_
Memo for Mr. Tolson '
Re: Bombing of 16th Street Baptist Church
dur ing recently completed inspection reflects that two additional men can be
made available from general criminal assignment to work on the bombing cases.
This makes a total of 8 men availabletmthe Birmingham Office to work on these
bombings: If proposed technical coverage approved, it will be necessary to monitor
these from individual rather than from a consolidated plant, which requires
considerable manpower. Eventually the Birmingham Office may need 4 additional
men if the microphones are installed. Inspector does not feel any additional man-
power should be transferred into Birmingharn until we are certain the microphone
installations will be made. Inspector feels that SAC should not be permitted
to use any of the 8 Agents assigned to bombing matters on any other assignments
except those of an emergency nature and then only with Bureau approval.
The Birmingham Office has developed some evidence again t the threeprincipal suspects in the b0n1__l_J_ir1g _of_the Baptist Church, name1$*

Re: Bombing of 16th Street Baptist Church
reward
money is outstanding, and Birmingham
instructed to malce full use of this fact in handling the investigation.
Inspector feels that these bombing cases will undoubtedly only be
solved if we can get one or more of the conspirators to confess or obtain sutficient
admissions re bombings which suspects have made to close associates and relatives.
Inspector advised SAC and Agents working on this case that the reputation of the FBI
depends on their ability to solve this case and no matter what the obstacles and
problems are, and in spite of all the negative investigation conducted, they must
not become discouraged or adopt a defeatist attitude. The Brinks case was cited
as an outstanding example Where FBI persistence and ingenuity under similarly trying
circumstances paid off. I informed them that the Director and the President expect
them to bring these cases to a solution.

In connection with the attached Washington__P_ost article
captionefl "FBI Knows Church Bombers In Birmingham, Writer Says, " which "" =
appears on page A3 of the M3yi§Q,,_lQ_54, issue, we have received many calls from
news services. All callers have been answer with a strict "no comment. " It b92appears that a _§1_;ee-l_a,,nce writer,__j'Ge 1lan, " who has written for the 7.
Saturday Evening Post in the past, is author of several books, has talked _
considerably with United States Attorney Weaver at Birmingham, whom he quotes
in the magazine article. The article points out that the FBI is aware that one 1:
man is responsible for the September, 1963, bombing of the Birmingham church
in which 4 Negro girls were killed. It states the FBI is aware of the identity
of other persons involved but it has not been possible for the FBI to arrest _
those responsible because of lack of evidence. ' jl *
The article in both the Saturday Evening Post and the
Associated Press wire story printed by the Washington Post this morning is
not unfavorable to the FBI.
Early this year, McMillan, the author of the story, contacted
several of our field offices as well as Bureau Headquarters and we told him
we could not be of assistance to him. We are, of course, continuing to "no
comment" all aspects of this matter.
