Mr. Edgar J. Hoover - Chief %
Federal Bureau of Investigation
Washington, D. C -
M *8 »~-e»~+/5 .ae+ s..e£»:e* 4 _ -.__ p ,___ _ MG:
My puFpose4'1n*writig to you, has referenc to the most
recent bombing in Birmipgham Ala. , in which 4 Negro girls were killed;
as well as the wanton disregard in many instances of late, of many citizens
of that State, as well as their public leaders; as it pertains to compling with
federal Law and Civil Rights of the Negro population. 6}-- /5- 4,3
It is with sincere interest, that according to the news on the
Radio this A. M;_,the writer has learned that men of your Agency are now
investigating the most recent bombéng, and I hope they are most successfulin apprehending the guilty party §é,~ parties in the very near future.
Although the writer in the capacity as a reglatory official
for the Michigan Department of -Agriculture for many has had some
experience in enforcement and investigation work, it is as a Neophyte in
respect to men of your Department, that I offer the following information.
As an outsider, and basing mh opinion on News éilpdy - it strikes the writer ti
these bombings are the work of an organization-5; someone trained in handliof explosive. Perhaps an ex-service man trained in handling demoggn char
or perhaps even at present a member of the Local or State Police, per-
haps a member of the Alabama National Guard. I realize that to operate on -.this assumption, and check such information out - eeua be along an tedious
process, perhaps ending in naught. However, back in the second world war :
as a member of the U. S. Airforce, I served several years at various bases
in the deep South; and associated with agood many Southern soldiers, and I
know of the deep hate, and disrespect, that was harbored by some of the Rebt
soldiers, for the colored populations. Some could never be educated to
think differently. With out a doubt, your office has given thought to this sam<
thing - but Lmake mention of the same - for as an outsider considering that
8 such bombings have taken place without an apprehension - this does not
appear to be the work of a crack-pot.

.. The _.President, without _mentioning
Alabama's sesresationlst Gov. George G.
"Wallace by name. said: It is regrettable
that public disparagement of law and
order has encouraged violence which has
fallen on the innocent.
The President called upon white and
Negro citizens everywhere to "put passions
and prejudices aside" to preserve "doma-
tic justice and tranquility."
In the late afternoon, the White House
said it had not yet received ansiiileel from
the Rev. Dr. Martin Luther Kins .i1'- Ind
other Negro leaders asking the President
to order Federal troops into Birmingham
to maintain racial peace. _
But government sources said that no
troops would be sent to the troubled city
unless new large-cale violence occurred.
Plans were to rely on the edorts of Burke
llarshall, the Justice Department's civil
rights chief, to work on the scene in his
peace-making role. _ -

Moore states that the source, he feels, is the mother of the girl ,__T___@ /~,
who was with the boy. It is Moore's feeling that the girl would be embarrass
if her name is disclosed and, under the circumstances, the mother, who
incidentally is a registered nurse and is intelligent, feels that the boy may
possess some information which might have a bearing in this matter.

In connection with the arrangements to have Special Agentnroceed to Nashville for the purpose of conducting an interview
who allegedly was in the vicinity of the bombed church at about
12:30 a. m. to about 1:00 a. m. , Simday morning, arrangements were made
to have him proceed to Nashville, where he will arrive at 10:30 a. m. ,
Nashville time Central Standard Time!-12 :30 Washington time!.
I went over the information which we had received and briefed himfin connection with the interview and his activity for about an hour. I believe
that the time spent with him was desirable; first, because he is a relatively
new Agent and, secondly, because of the importance of this assignment. It
is noted that he, after our discussion, indicated that he was highly honored in
being asked to carry out this assignment.
Arrangements were made for him to be met at the airport atNashville by two Agents. They in turn will bring him up to date on any -
current developments. The Birmingham Office was instructed to have Q
available $200 in the event it was necessary for him to carry out any '
immediate assignment which would require the payment of money on the spot.
It was also pointed out to Agentqhat we did not know whether
this lead would be productive or not, but we we treating it on the basis thatthe boy was in a position to furnish information and consequentl 4,should be ready to consider offering money to the student 1n tinducement was necessary or desirable. It was pointed out tm
that we consider this a most important case and consequently we _

BIRMINGHAM, ALABAMA, 9/ 15/ 63
Ithat if leads could be developed as a result of any information we obtained
| from the interview, this, of course, would also be most desirable.
It was pointed out to him that in the event anything came up
which required my consideration that he was to feel free to call medirect. -
He had one problem and that was with reference to his wife, who
H was expecting in December. He said he wondered if she could call any
number in the event an emergency arose. I dictated a note in his presence
indicating that I was available in the event she desired to call me and, in
my absence, th s someone on duty in the Division. I also
pointed out tha his immediate supervisor, would alsobe available in t e even . 4 7:

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 Horth,
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-$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 pest 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 9/18/63 state that a fund
for rewards in this case has reached $?6,000.

Dear Mr. Hoover,
Qm writing in reference to the recent ghastly
bombing of th ixteenth Street _Bapj_;jst__Q_htir_ch,__in Birmingham,
Alabama". I am*iF13'aI1éd_andl*h0rrified at the nu"mb'éF 'o'fTi1T§o1ved92 Bombings that have occurred in Birmingham. How is it possible
to have not a single one of these bombings solved? I cannot
understand that.
I trust the F. B.I. will solve this crime and appre-
same thing occurs again. ,1hend the criminals7i"n'avery short amount of time, before the y
Since rely,

AMERICAN NAZI PARTY
Also Known As World Union of Free
Enterprise National Socialists,
Gec;geiLinco1nRochyell Party
A.source advised on February 27, 1959, that
GEORGE LINCOLN ROCKWELL of Arlington, Virginia, had held an
organizational meeting of the World Union of Free Enterprise
WUFFENS! at his residence on February 26, 1959.
Six persons were present and they, according to the
source, comprised the beginning of an officer corps of the
organization. ROCKWELL told those present that the WUFFENS
would be an international movement but that the section of
the organization in the United States would be known as the
American Party of the WUFFENS,
ROCKWELL, on March 26, 1959, furnished to Special
Agents of the Federal Bureau of Investigation, a copy of the
program of the WUFFENS, stating that he expects to become the
President of the United States through the organization:
platform. The main tenets of the WUFFENS, as reflected in the
program, call for the migration of Negroes to Africa and the
trial and execution of all Jews guilty of Communist and
Zionist treason,
A second source advised on August 15, 1962; that the
main activity of the organization in furtherance of these
objectives, has consisted of picketings with antiJewish and
anti=Nagrc placards; talks by ROCKWELL attacking Jews as traitors
to the United States; attempts by ROCKWELL to.form Nazi groups in
various cities in the United States; and attempts to form a group
of international sympathizers. ROCKWELL prints large amounts of
Nazi literature at American Nazi Party Headquarters, 928 North
Randolph Street, Arlington, Virginia.
On June 29, 1962, the State of Virginia revoked the
charter of the American Nazi Party.
On September 20, 1962, the State Corporation Commission
of Virginia issued a charter for a "George Lincoln Rockwell
Party". The second source mentioned above advised on September124,
1962, that ROCKWELL will continue to carry on his activities,
using the name American Nazi Party merely to be able to do business
asa corporation.
