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.

Records of Superior Court of Fulton County, Georgia

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,
Knights of the Ku Klux Klan, Inc. According to the source,
the split resulted from a leadership dispute and United Klans
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.
