The members of the Action Squad of the Eastview Klavern
have all been contacted on numerous occasions. Most ofthem have been interviewed with benefit of polygraph and92»!f //
at the present time most of them are reluctant to submit
to further personal contacts for the purpose of discussing
the bombing cases. It appears there is very little to
gain by pursuing a direct interview program in the absence
of new evidence wherewith to confront these people. Inter-

when we have occasion to check his activities he is sometimes
contacted in person in order to establish his whereabouts,
the nature of his current employment, and to determine whether
there are any physical changes of significance in the vicinity
of his home or garage.
A substantial portion of the present investigative
program relates directly to the thoroughness of our informant
coverage oi the principal subjects and the various chapters
of the Klan. Continuing success is being experienced in the
operations 0 Our broadened program has afforded
different means of checking on the accuracy of the material
this informant is producing and in every instance he has been
found to be reliable.

There are a number of other individuals under con-
sideration who have promise for more development as valuable
sources. The Informant Program is being stressed to he ultimate
with the view to encircling key Klan people with coverage which
is likely to provide us advice as to future activities and may
also reveal details concerning some of the cases presently

§§saAncn PROGRAM
Our investigation has pointed to the probability that
a few oldtime Klansmen have been engaged in all of the racial
violence which has occurred in Birmingham over a period of
more than fifteen years. In connection with some of the earlier
cases, sources indicate that the activity was fully tolerated,
if not abetted, by the local enforcement authorities. There
was really only minimal risk of detection involved in the use
of force and violence in bombings. Discussion of this type
of activity was more casual than it is at present. With this
factual situation in mind, we have begun to look back into
earlier bombings since the Alabama statute of limitation does
not toll responsibility'for

If we are able to take positive action on any
substantive situation, even these old ones, it is believed
that we will be provided with the leverage to plumb much
more deeply into our current crimes. There is a very strong
possibility, if we are able to develop substantial information
about old eases, that pressure will be brought to bear on the
Klan leaders to surrender the bombers of the Baptist Church.

In line with our research program, there is good
reason to believe that members of the Negro community may
be in a position to furnish background and perhaps evidence
concerning some of the earlier racial crimes committed by
members of the KKK.

CONCLUSIONS
Based on my review of this investigation to date,
I feel that a massive project has been dispatched. The
quality of the supervision and investigation reflected in
the Birmingham files is excellent. The present staff is
well versed in the history of these cases. They have
excellent grasp of the facts and they know our objectives.
The staff is enthusiastic. As is reflected in the foregoing
data, I feel that we have a very positive potential, on the
basis of our investigative approach to this matter, to make
our subjects answer substantively for at least some of the
crimes of violence for which they have been responsible, and
any prosecutive opening in this matter could very well lead
to the successful resolution of the bombing of the Baptist
Church.

charter on February 21, 1961, at Atlanta, Georgia, under
the name United Klans, Knights of the Ku Klux Klan of
America, Inc.
A source advised on February 27, 1961, that United
Klans was formed as a result of a split in U. S. Klaus,

has the same aims and objectives as the parent group. These
are the promotion of Amaricanism, white supremacy and
segregation of the races.
The first source and a second source advised in

Klan of America, Inc., merged with Alabama Knights, Knights
of the Ku Klux Klan. The merged organization established
headquarters in Suite 401, The Alston Building, Tuscaloosa,
Alabama. The organization is directed by Robert Shelton,
Imperial Wizard, and is the dominant Klan group in the
South with units in several southern states.
On August 14, 1961, the second source advised that
the organization formerly known as United Klaus, Knights
of the Ku Klux Klan of America, Inc., would be known in
the future as United Klans of America, Inc., Knights of
the Kn Klux Klan. The second source said the name was
changed by a resolution adopted at the National Klonvocation
held July 8, 1961, at Indian Springs, Georgia.
Second source advised that at a meeting at
Frattville, Alabama, on ctober 22, 1961, a majorit? of the
Klaverns, of the U. S. Klans, Knights of the Ku Klux Klan
merged with the United Klans of America, Inc., Knights of
the Ku Klux Klan.

the editorial was t en u b ts ' p y commen concernin entire field of moderiib z
electronics in wire tapping, setting out all sorts of methods believed to be used
such as infrared,closed circuit TV, miniature transmitters, etc. The editorial
also quoted a recent "Time" magazine article relating to "bugging. " As a part of
the over-all general editorial article, there was included, according to Mr. Ingram,
a reference to the fact that the newspaper, "The Advert.ise1;" had chanced to learn
of two telephone bugs recently found in Alabama. It related that telephone experts
had found one of them clamped to a telephone wire in the basement of a residence.
pointed out that the installation undoubtedly was made by entering the residence by
means of a key and that the bug was capable of transmitting conversations to a
receiver. The manufacturer of the device was unknown. A photograph captioned-
"Type of Wire Tap Device Discovered in Birmingham Basement" was included
with the article. This photograph was said by the SAC to be our device. However,
no accusation or inference was made in the article as to the identity of persons whomade the installation.It
Mr. Ingram further stated that it appeared that the woman in whose home F
this installation was found might very possibly be an informant of state authorities
in that her namewas carefully omitted in the article and that the state authorities
seem to be somewhat agitated about the find.

_ his enforcement conferences to be held on the subject
of civil rights, which are being held during the week of
8/2/64. He anticipated that this Agent would be utilized

He wished to utilize the additional Agent in
connection with investigation at Tuscaloosa, Alabama, with
regard to suits filed against approximately twenty
business establishments in that city by the Department of
Justice under the new Civil Rights Law. He estimated that
this Agent would be needed in Tuscaloosa for two or three
days.
SAC Ingram stated that the use of these men wasabsolutely necessary in that no other qualified personnel {1}
were available for these assignments, in view of the number -
of men committed to other priority assignments and thethree men recently assigned to Mississipi.5,; ma. EC 14/57. we s -/4! A

SUBJECTS
Rerep of S rmingham, dated 7/29/64.
Inquir!;|.es at Birmingham have developed the tact that a
private investigator was hired by Negroes who were affected
by the early bombings in Birmingham when these Negroes were
gradually moving into previously all white neighborhoods.
These bombings occurred principally in the Center Street, North,
section. The bombings began in or around 1947 and have con-
tinued. However, there was a skip between the years 1950 and
1956. Beginning in i956, the bombings appeared to be related
to the integration problem resulting from the Supreme Court
Decision of 1954.

In connection with this investigation, the following
3 list of bombings occurring in the Birmingham area dating from
1947 to the present was compiled. This list was acquired from
reviewing Birmingham indices and files and newspaper accounts
from the "Birmingham Post-Herald" and "The Birmingham News"
morgues. This list was compiled in chronological order, list-
ing as much factual data concerning each bombing that is available
to include the names of victims, addresses, and the names of
local police authorities assigned to investigate each case:
AUGUST 18, 1947:
An article in "The Birmingham News" dated 12/8/57,
relating the facts of a bombing which occurred on the previous
day, went into detail concerning what they termed bombing
activities!in Birmingham in the postwar era. The first bombing
mentioned in this article occurred on 8/18/47 at the home of
SAM MATTHEWS, Negro, who lived at 120 - llth Court, North. A
review of the newspaper morgues for further information con-
cerning this bombing was nonproductive. No record or factual
data concerning this bombing is present in the Birmingham files.
MARCH 25, 1949:
"The Birmingham News" of Friday, 3/25/49, contained
a feature article relating the facts of a blast which occurred
the previous midnight and totally destroyed three_houses. These
three blasts occurred about one minute apart in three separate
dwelling houses, none of which were occupied at the time.
These houses were located at First Street and llth Avenue West.
They were all being repaired in anticipation of future occupancy
by Negroes. Two of these houses had been purchased by Bishop
S. L. GREEN, Negro male, associated with Daniel Payne College.
The other home had been purchased by JOHN MADISON, Negro,
Apt. 10, 1412 - 5th Avenue North. Detective Captain DAN PIERCE
ofthe Birmingham Police Department assigned three detectives

This article also stated that on the previous Tuesday,
3/22/49, the Graymont-College Hills Civic Association had met
with the City Commission to protest the selling of property to
Negroes in an area that was zoned A-l White Residential. Mr.

was the spokesman for this group before the City Commission.
Mr. SAM L. CHESNUT, 124 - 10th Avenue lest, also spoke before
the City Commission on this date, stating that if the sale to
Negroes in this area was not prevented, somebody was going to
get hurt. It is noted that SAM L. CHESNUT was a neighbor of
TRENTON S. LECROY, currently involved in investigation con~
cerning bombing activities at that time.! Mr. IALTER 0.
MONTEITH, 1062 Center Street, North, was interviewed and was
quoted by the newspaper as saying he was feeding his baby at
the time of the explosion and did not see or hear anything
prior to the explosion.
August 12, 1949:
On this date, two blasts occurred on Center Street,
North, damaging the homes of B. W. HENDERSON and E. B. DeYAMPERT.
This information was acquired from the article in "The Birmingham
News" dated 12/8/57 and also from an article in "The Birmingham
News" dated 4/23/50, which relates to a bombing on that date
damaging a house belonging to B. W. HENDERSON, which will be
listed later in this listing. No factual newspaper account of
this bombing was located, but several references are made to
it in other articles.
April 13, 1950:
On Friday, 4/14/50, "The Birmingham News" carried
a front page article relating the facts surrounding a series
of violent blasts occurring on the previous evening at 9:00 P.H.,
which completely destroyed the interior and exterior of a home
at 524 - 12th Terrace, North. This was a home which was under
construction and nearly completed at the time of the blast.
This home was being built by Negro dentist, DR. J. A. BOYKIN.
Detectives assigned to investigate this case were J. W. BENSON,
J. R. DAVIS, W. E. COLEMAN and CARL NEILL. Dr. J. A. BOYKIN
has recently been interviewed concerning this bombing and was v
unable to furnish any suspects; however, Dr. BOYKIN was unable
to say that he had purchased this property from the City of
Birmingham and engaged in a legal battle with the Zoning
Commission of Birmingham who had originally denied him a
building permit. After several appearances were made before
the Zoning Commission and positive proof provided to the Zoning
Commission indicating that his property was situated in a Ne8r°

zone area, Dr. BOYKIN was granted a building permit and began
construction of his home. BOYKIN could only state that the
white people in that neighborhood who seemed to be the most
infuriated over his building a home there were CLARENCE HENDERSON
and CHARLES FIERSON, a grocer, both of whom have since died.
April 22, 1950: . _ _, W_
On April 23, 1950, the Sunday Edition of"The-Birmingham
News" contained a front-page article relating facts of a dynamite
explosion which had occurred on the previous evening at 1100
Center Street and extensively damaged a home belonging to B. I.
EENDERSON. This article stated that this had been the second
time in six months this house had been bombed. It referred to
an instance occurring on October 13, 1949, in which HNDERSON
had had a*Hynamite charge exploded in his front yard and a
similar charge exploded in the front yard of the house next
door. This article also stated that several months prior to
the 10/13/49 dynamiting, he had discovered several sticks of
dynamite in his yard with the fuses burned out, which dynamite
was at that time surrendered to the Birmingham Police Department
for examination. This house was occupied at the time of the
bombing by a Negro woman and her five-year-old daughter who
lived in a room upstairs at the rear and a Negro man named ROY
TERRY, who lived downstairs at the rear. No one was injured
by this explosion. This article also related that the Rev.
MILTON CURRY, who had previously rented living quarters from
HENDERSON in this house, had been personally requested by
EUGENE "BULL" CONNOR and J. W. MORGAN City Commissioners at
that time! to move out of the house, but he declined on the
grounds that he had paid his rent in good faith.
December 21, 1950:
There have been several references made in newspaper
accounts of other bombings to a bombing allegedly occurring '
on this date at the home of a man named MONK at 950 Center Street
North. These articles relate that Hr. and Mrs. MONK had pre-
viously filed a zoning suit against the City of Birmingham.
It should be noted that no individual account of_this bombing
was found in either the Birmingham Office files or the morgues
of the Birmingham newspapers.

December 25,,1056:
On December 26, 1956, the front page of "The Birmingham
News" carried a feature article relating the facts of a bombing
which shattered the home of the Rev. FRED SHUTTLESEORTH, 3191 =
29th Avenue, North, on the previous evening. This bombing
occurred at approximately 10:00 P.H. and there wasaestinated to be
at least six sticks of dynamite placed alongside the house.
Rev. SHUTTLESWORTH and another man were present in the home
at the time of the bombing and, as was stated in the newspaper,
miraculously escaped injury. There was an attempt on the part
of a crowd of Negroes to prevent police officers I. E. HOUSE
and C. L. CRUTCHFIELD from entering the house immediately after
the bombing; however, Rev. SHUTTLESWORTH shortly thereafter
crawled from the wreckage and announced that he was not hurt
and the police were permitted to conduct their investigation.
This case;was assigned to Detective C. B. GOLDEN of the'
Birmingham Police Department. Neighbors interviewed at the
scene identified a black sedan and a red pickup truck as being
two vehicles in the neighborhood prior to the bombing, which
appeared-suspicious. It should be noted that the newspaper
on this date and on the date immediately preceding this bombing
contained articles concerning the efforts of Rev. SHUTTLESWORTH
and other Negroes to ride the city buses while ignoring the
existing segregation laws on public transportation.
December 31, 1956:
Newspaper articles written concerning other bombings
have made reference_to a bombing occurring this date at the
home of OTIS FLOWERS, 5713 - 3rd Avenue, North. No individual
newspaper accounts or references concerning this bombing were
found.
April 10, 1957:
Newspaper articles concerning other bombings have
made reference to bomb explosions on this date which damaged
Negro houses at 1135 and 1143 - 12th Place, North. No individual
accounts of these bombings were found in the Birmingham files
or the morgues of the Birmingham newspapers.

by witnesses as a white male, approximate age 23, 5'10 tall,
weighing 170 1bs., wearing a light-colored sport shirt. The
investigation of this case was assigned to Lt. A. H. GILCHRIST
and Sgt. H. E. GILES. Police investigation, according to the
newspaper article, revealed that two bottles of gasoline were
thrown, one of which went off when it struck the porch and
set the porch on fire. The occupants of the house and neighbors
were able to contain the fire before it damaged anything except
the front porch.
October 19, 1957: _
"The Birmingham News" on October 21, 1957, carried

found a full stick of dynamite unexploded in the basement.
This house was unoccupied but had been recently purchased by
Hrs. CLEO PRINCE, Negro female, who had planned to move in the
following Thursday. Hrs. PRINCE was interviewed by the news-
paper and stated that during the previous week while she was
cleaning the front yard, an unknown white male stopped by and
told her they did not want any undesirable people living in the
neighborhood. Mrs. PRINCE stated that other than this incident
she could furnish no suspects for the bombing.

had been denied in his attempt to move in on the previous
Thursday by the Building Inspector.

BH 157-352
On lay 25, 1964, the morgue of "The Birmingham News"
was checked and a copy of the newspaper for April 23, 1950,
was noted to carry an article on the front page relating the
facts of a bombing which had occurred the previous evening.
These facts were that a private dwelling located at 1100 Center
Street, Birmingham, was partially destroyed by what was believed
to be a dynamite blast on the previous evening. The house was
owned by a Hegro contractor named Bi !e EEEDER5QH and occupied
by ROY TERRY, a thirty-two year old Negro who lived downstairs,
and DOROTHY KINDRED, a Negro female who occupied the upstairs
with her two year old child. The newspaper account stated this
bombing apparently resulted from a zoning dispute being carried
on in that area for a number of months and was the latest of a
series of bombings which had occurred in that neighborhood.
The following investigation has been conducted to
identify and obtain background information on the following
possihhasuspects in this bombing prior to conducting actual
interviews:

ReBulet dated 4/23/64 .-
The Birmingham Office, as a result of the BAPBOMB case,
has been keenly interested in effecting technical coverage on
a number of suspects. Referenced letter authorized surveys
for ten suspects and subsequent authority to make misur in-
stallations was obtained on five of these ten. Surveys to date
have indicated that the only feasible type of installation was
either the BAT Unit or radio, i.e., HUTT Unit. Past experience
and possible security problems in the use of radio, i.e., HUTT
Unit, precluded the feasibility of such an installation in three
of the five installations to date. Further, as the places where
these installations are made and to be made in the future are
secure way to obtain any at the present time except utilizing
the existing telephone lines._ _ _ / mainly private homes, there is no egress wiring and no KHOWH c;Zi_
In view of this, the BAT Unit has been installed in three
instances, utilizing the telephone line of the resident, and
has proved to be working in a highly satisfactory manner.
This matter is deemed worthy of being brought to the
attention of the Bureau, especially the Electrenics Section
of the Laboratory, in view of the very probable likelihood
that additional units of this type will be requested for future
installation.

necessary to either remove all technical equipment after each
shift or secure the equipment within the monitoring location.
Inasmuch as the monitoring po1n3§_g;e.in_:asideniial_aneas,
any unusual activity that varies from the normal behavior of
the residents cf the area creates suspicion among the residents.
It is believed that the moving in and out of the amount of
equipment necessaryto properly monitor the installations
definitely will arouse suspicion and create a security problem.
Furthermore, the constant handling of this equipment is detri-
mental to its effective operation. The alternative, then, is
to leave the equipment within the monitoring site. In order
to make this equipment secure the following has been done ineach instance where the instalTEfTbn~isnin operation: 1,

!
!__ ii"4______ _ --4 _ _ n,__.,...__---- -
All locks on outside doors have been changed.
All windows have been properly secured and locked.
A lock has been placed on the door leading into the
room wherein the equipment is located.
A steel cabinet, 18" deep, 36" wide and 42" high,
having adjustable shelves with a lock in the handle,
was purchased for the storage of this equipment.
This cabinet has either been bolted to the wall or
to the floor so as to prevent it from being moved
from the premises. A hasp and good grade lock has
been utilized on the doors of the cabinet in addition
to the lock in the handle to afford additional security
It would, therefore, be necessary to have a combination
of four keys in order to get to the equipment.
Particular precaution is being taken to be assured
that none of the equipment or any written material
would identify the monitoring installation with the
FBI.

! After each tour of duty, all equipment is turned
off through one centralized switch and the power
cord furnishing power to the equipment is removed from the
wall and placed inside the locked cabinet, thereby prevent-
ing any possibility of associating the cabinet with electrical
equipment, or the possibility of creating trouble on the
telephone line or associated_equipment.
! The furnishings in the installations have been
selected to blend in with the cover story of the
Agents monitoring and with the neighborhood, with the cover
stories suited to the schedules of the Agents.
8! Venetian blinds and/or shades have been placed on
all windows to afford security or movement and
to prevent anyone from looking in from the outside and view?ing the equipment or occupants. 1
The neighborhoods s.e-Q§tella1Q9nB are
located vary from metrgpglitan areas in_thg;_the_pegple re-
siding there are generallywldng-time residents and many of
them are well acquainted, which heightens the security problem.
Generally, these people are friendly and curious and want to
know their neighbors. For this reason, it is believed mandatory
that every precaution be made to maintain the security of the
installation, and it is believed that the leaving of the Bureau
equipment under the above conditions is essential for that
purpose. This practice will be continued, Q§§§,_iD_$h§e and
other installations anticipated. _
