stated it was true that _,r §helton,' _ A
Imperial ted Klans r sent at the AH?headquarters on that evening but hm was surprised at
this and ordered Shelton off the pre .
Thereafter made no further overt e* or a *meeting and the was terminated whenirealized
that our position in this matter was firm.
As a matter of interest some of the persons picked
up for interroga ion by the AHP and newsman have advised thatnot only She1¬;f;was in attendance thg/evening but Klansmen,Donald Everet Luna and Herbert Euge Reeves were riding with
Troopers apparently pointing out certain persons for the state d |Jinvestigators. ¢I;' - id / f*~"¥ 5¢"T . ¢--*

BOMBING MATTERS - -
Birmingham area, the present operation appears justified for th_ ;;;A~
following reasons: ;, QnOn the basis of current information and developmen ¬;2?§P
1. All personnel on assignment at the Birmingham office, whether
special assignment or regularly assigned, including both Special A entg
and clerical employees, are productively assigned. i
2. Extensive interviews have been conducted and are presently underwa§
This does not include special assignments, such as surveillances,
. et cetera, which are necessary because of developments during the day.
3. Administrative procedures in force are efficient and effective.
4. There is a positive control of manpower assigned to the investigatic
_.q '
5. Developments during the day are coordinated intelligently. All
personel are kept aware of current progress.
5-
6. Agents are alerted to important developments as they occur andbefore'sgch material is reduced to writing.
.. I I,
7. A nightly meeting, under the direction and supervision of SAC
R. K. Moore, is most effective. Each agent reports in opengsession
the;naturé and extent of his daily activity. Information so developed
is then subjected to questioning and evaluation by the other agents in
attendance. A determination is then made as to whether further activit§
is warranted. Assignments are then made for all night coverage-of
suspects, points of interest, and possible disturbance areas; Assign-
ments are also given to each agent for the following day. _.I
8. Conflicts and assignments are immediately resolved by te SAC.
E F .L9.__Through a communications system direct{$:t§g%UT§£o the SAC,-embrgency assignment of personnel is adequately arranged. _

Mr. Belmont
10. No one office has furnished an excessive amount of personnel
which could unduly affect the work of the office from which they
have reported. Qne effiee,'namely Little Beck, has furnished as many
as five. This includes the SAC. The balance range from one to four
in number. This is not an excessive drain of agent personnel from
the contributing offices.
ll. The entire investigation is being directed toward bringing as
much pressure as possible on all prime suspects developed and being
developed. This is accomplished through interviews and reinterviews;
through constant harassment tactics; through the use of technical
equipment wherever possible; through surveillances; through examination
by the use of the polygraph; through information developed as a result
of contacts with sources of information in a position to furnish
information which may be pertinent to any facet of the investigation;
and through saturation and redirection techniques.
extensive liaison is maintained
in a position to furnish12. Concurrent with the above action,
with persons and organizations who are
information.
13. All paper nork in the preparation of reports and memoranda is
maintained in a current status.
14. Circumstantial evidence and possible witnesses are being lined up
in the event it becomes desirable to present any phase of this investi-
gation for possible grand jury action.
15. There is a total of 34 Special Agents and 8 clerical employees
presently on special assignment. The overtime for the agents on special
assignment at Birmingham ranges from an average low cf 6 heurs and 38
minutes per day, to a high of 9 hours per day.
RECOMMENDATION:
l II I I H -I It ta ____i_ sh .1 _LiLi!-l__-_1_ __n .|_1__
un the oasis or the enthusiasm, pressure, and attitude 01 the
personnel on this assignment, I recommend there be no reduction or
addition in manpower at this time; that present pressure points and
procedures which have been discussed with SACs Moore and Faisst be
continued for the time being, to be re-evaluated in ten days, at which
time a recommendation should be submitted to the Director concerning the
manpower situation and direction of the investigation. This will depend
upon developments during the interim.

Assistant Director Rosen called from Birmingham. He had
been going over this case with SAC Moore and the Agents assigned
to the case until midnight last night, pinpointing what each Agent
is doing and the potential in the case. He is continuing today
and will have another conference of all Agents on the case tonight.
J
He said the Agents are covering 80 to 100 leads a day, inIaddition to an analytical conference each night. Agents are
averaging about 7 hours overtime a day on this special. Each Pg
Agent has an assignment to cover immediately in the event there ;is additional violence or bombings. ajgi
He said it is clear that the work is well organized and
that much is being done in the way of checking out and applying
In other words, this is a hard-hitting investigation with no holds
barred. He said he was impressed with the enthusiasm of all of the
Agents assigned to the case.
Mr. Rosen is continuing his examination, looking toward
further methods of applying pressure to get results. SAC Moore
has been considering the possibility of a Federal Grand Jury in
the future if it appears that this will be helpful. Mr. Rosen
is checking into the personnel situation and whether iheis is the
best interests of the Bureau to release personnel now or in the
near future. He will report further.

Date iii_
A crime scene search was conducted at the
Alabaster Lime Company, Verlie, Alabama, in connection
with the breaking and entering of'a power house located
on arrock road on the Western edge'of the lime company,
and the attempted breaking and entering of a second -
power house located approximately one hundred yards to
the South of the first mentioned power house on the
same lot. ~
The first power house did not have a padlock
as should have been the case. Soil samples from a
pallet and from the floor of the interior of this power
house were obtained for possible future comparison.
An examination of the second power house
revealed tool marks on the hasp portion, and the
_nIlindér _block portion of the padlock to the door of
this second power house. These too! marks appear to
be similar to those that would be made with some type
of sawing instrument such asia hacksaw. This padlock
is being retained for possible future spectographic
comparison examination.
At a point approximately twenty feet,
Southwest, of the secondrpowe house on the extension
of the rock road running past, a ballpoint pen, black
with silver trim,,bearing the lettering Southern Screw
Gompani, Statesville, orth Garolina, was found.
Fingerprint examination of the doors to both
power houses, the remainztng padlock, »and the pen did
not develop any latents of value. Dirt samples from the
area immediately adjacent to the door of the second
power house were obtained for possible future comparison
examination. Photographs of the two buildings were
obtained. No other evidence of value was located.I
