BOHBING OF 16TH STREET CHURCH
SEPTEMBER 15, 1963
B[§!INGHAH, L§BA§_T
"On Docena Road, the two boys on the
bicycle were approached by a red motorbike
which was decorated with Confederate
stickers and carrying two white youths.
One or the youths pulled out a pistol and
fired twice. Virgil Ware fell off the bike,
fatally wounded.
"Two white youths, Lee Farley and Larry
Joe Sims, both 16, have been charged with
murder and bound over to a Birmingham Grand
Jury that will convene Monday.
"Tom Olson read about the shooting in
the papers and wrote his friend a consoling
letter. Here is lee Will's reply:
nlni, Tom,
"'Things are really going bed for me
down here. Virgil, my brother's iuneral will
possibly be Sunday.
"'The newspapers don't give a complete
rundown of what's going on around here. Our.
darling Governor has caused so much trouble,
until I am about ready to leave this place.
But I figure this is what he wants. A11 of the
Negroes to leave Ala. the nut!.
"'THE LITTLE girl Denise McNair was my
next door neighbor's niece. As you know she
was one of the girls who was killed in the
bombing of the 16th St. Bapt. Church.
"'I've been in school since the beginning
or the semester but is quite hard to study with
the tear that engulfs B'ham. We have n fire
drill almost every morning because of a bomb
threat.

"'All of the Negro businesses have
closed up and near dark there isn't a Negro
to be seen on the street. And could you
blame them? The State Troopers sent here
to protect us will ride along the street
with their rebel flagged cars saying run
nigger.
"'It's quite difficult to irite 1
cheerful letter under the circumstances but
in spite of all I guess I still have a lot
to be thankful for. Don't forget to come
to my funeral when ever you read about it.
Smile, I think!.

Dear Senator Robertson:
Last night September 15! Washington tele-
vision station WTOP broadcast a recording of some
statements made in Baltimore by Governor Wallace or
Alabama. In one statement the Governor charged that
since 1947 there had been 47 bombings in Alabama of
Negro homes and churches but that the Federal Bureau
of Investigation,which had investigated evey case,
had railed to come with a single solution.
The Governor intimated that these bombings
had very likely been committed by persons with pro-
Negro sentiments who hoped through the "liberal"
press and networks to arouse hatred against white
persons in Alabama who are opposed to racial inte
gration. He said that no Negroes had been killed
and that personal injury and property damage had
been slight. But that the integraion forces,
through the publicity given to the bombings, had
succeeded in attracting much sympathy and money to
their cause.
Governor Wallace also intimated that the
F.B.I. in their investigations must have found
evidence of this duplicity on the part of the pro-
Negro forces. He said that such evidence if any
has not been brought to light because of embar-
rassment it might bring to the United States
Department of Justice and the Attorney General.
I real that the charges made by Governor
Wallace are serious ones which bring into question
the integrity our system or Justice on the Federal
level. I therefore ask that the charges be looked
into to determine their truth or falsity.
sincerely yours,I
. HAR$;; B. HEWITT -

Honorable fa. fiiiio Robertson

7 . The facts of each bombing incident have been
presented Immediately to the Department, and the FBI has been ,
requested to investigate ve bombing cases In Alabama, including I
the one on September 15th in which tour children were killed. Doe
to the nature of the September 15th bombing, the FBI begnln"
investigittion mo iovioefi the of the ictiooi
being taken. Although the FBI does not actively Investigate all
bombing cases, it docs cooperate tn every ray possible with state
Ind local authorities. Thetolt facilities 01 the FL-I Laboratory and
Identification Division are available to reader any assistance.
The FBI: actions in the civil rights eld are governed
by laws as they are in all elds. We cannot exceed our authority
nor we attempt to do co. Ii a Fettorai tow within our iurisctioo
is violated, FBI Agents will conduct a prompt, thorough ano objective
tnvestigatioo. If no Federal low is involved, we will not--cannot-~
investigate.
to spite oi these facts, we are cccoseo of both
exceeding mo ehirking our daties. Eooe oi these charges atom
tron: 1 lack of uooerotanciing, but many of come from persons
who have a personal into":-est and distort the to their
purpose. .
tam; within the law, the FBI has rccordeci a number
of accompnehmeots in the civil rights eld. For example, FBI
invcsttggzttions have eoablo the Ecpertment of Justice to le more
than forty suite in ve states to end racial cttscrinetnattoa in voting.
FBI Agents solved the case involving the burning oi a Greyhound bus
transporting: Ft*cecioz:o Hitters tor-oo;_r,%-1 Ataboroi in acct. $1:
persons have been convicted tor their pert in this crime. An FBI
investigation in September, 1962, ted to the arrest and conviction
in state court of four persons for ta-..u-clog n Negro church to Terrell
County, Georgia. FBI Agents also arrested Byron lire La Becimitit,
the man charged with the murder of Z<=E»ed.gar Evere, the M.i$Si8£ippt
leader of the t-Eatiooal Association for the Advancement of Colored
People. o '

STREET BAPTIST CHURCH '
6.1»:
- I Birmingham in its efforts to run down sourcesE7 of dynamite has ascertained there are tee menufaeturers ofldynamite in Alabama; E. I. DuPont at Watson and Hercules at
Mcadory. These two companies have one wholesale outlet in
Birmingham apiece and these wholesale outlets have a total of
200 regular wholesale customers. They also sell retail. Due
to the large mining operations in Birmingham the use of
explosives is widespread and few accurate records are kept.
Birmingham is continuing this project.
Additional interviews have been conducted in the
neighborhood of the 16th Street Baptist Church without pertinent
information being developed.
ACTIONS -
You will be kept advised of pertinent developments.

NATIONAL STATES RIGHTS PARTY
_,,,, nsin > 'T_
On November 26, 1957, a source advised that the
United White Party UWP! was organized at a convention held
in Knoxville, Tennessee, on November 10, 1957. An article in
the November 26, 1957, issue of the "Greenville Piedmont",
a newspaper of Greenville, South Carolina, reported "the
recent formation of a new political party, to be known as
the United White Party". According to the article, the
party was formed at a recently held meeting in Knoxville,
Tennessee, at which many klansmen were represented. The
UWP was reported as being opposed to all "race mixing organi-
zations and individuals".
The July, 1958, issue of "The Thunderbolt", self-
described as the "official Racial Nationalist Organ of the
National States Rights Party" NSRP!, reported that rank and
file "States Righters" had merged with the UWP under "the
banner of the National States Rights Party", with national
offices at Post Office Box 261, Jeffersonville, Indiana.
In November, 1958, a source advised that the NSRP
is composed of past members of klan-type organizations and
notorious anti-Semites.
Issue Number 19, dated June, 1960, "The Thunder-
bolt", announced the address of the headquarters of the
NSRP had been changed from Jeffersonville, Indiana, to
Post Office Box 783, Birmingham, Alabama.
On June 17, 1960, a source advised that EDWARD R.
FIELDS, the Information Director of the NSRP, is the indivi-
dual who "runs the NSRP".
"The Thunderbolt" continues to publish articles
attacking Negroes and persons of the Jewish faith.

At 10:19 AM, on September 15, 1963, there was an
explosion, generally believed to have been caused by ten or
more sticks of dynamite, at the 16th Street Baptist Church,
Birmingham, Alabama Negro!, taking the lives of four
children, who were among approximately 100 - 125 people in
attendance at Sunday School. Twenty or more persons were
injured. The church is located at the corner of 6th Avenue
and 16th Street, North, near the downtown section of the
city. The point of impact was outside the church, a
brick building, on the 16th street side under some concrete
steps and against the wall. Damage to the church building was
estimated to be $30,000 - $40,000 and undetermined amount of
damage to surrounding buildings. -
This church had been a meeting place in the past
for racial demonstrators. This bombing, one of a series
in the recent past in Birmingham, is possibly attributable
to racial extremists.
The crime scene search has failed to develop
evidence indicating that the explosion was detonated by any
specific type of detonator. It is unknown at this point
whether a fuse or a timing mechanism was used.
Birmingham newspapers on September 18, 1963,
state that a fund for rewards in this case has reached
$76,000.
