Reference is made to my previous memorandum of today con-
cerning the developments in connection with the Anniston phase of this
case and my conversation with SAC Roy Moore concerning the need to
vigorously press this phase of the case.
I, therefore, recommend that we immediately send ten -
additional men into Birmingham so that we can keep the pressure on
our activity at a high pitch. So far we have generated considerable '
interest locally in the fact that the FBI is investigating this case and I
feel if we are going to come up with results time will be of the essence.
Consequently, it is most desirable that in view of the developments at
Anniston that we put as much pressure at this focal point as possible.
I discussed this matter with SAC Moore and he agrees that ten men
could be used most advantageously-
In view of the above, it is recommended that ten men be
|immediate1y dispatched to Birmingham to report to SAC Moore and that
[five cars be made available to the Birmingham office.

The Pastor of that Church should be questioned, as to where
he was, and what he was doing, during Sunday school. lots of preachers

carried out this, for he said they was expecting it. had ben since Luther
King drew a crowd of 2, 000 at a speaking. Maby he was jelous of K1ng's
influance over the Negrows. wants to be thecenter of attraction h1S self '

While talking with SAC Moore at
We are trying to locate a carwhether it has signicant value to our investigation. 4:
There issome question as to whether the car was . / 6
in the area and before further inquiries are to be conducted it
is desirable to have a poly ra h examination as there is some J-'doubt as to the veracity oinformation. He has been 7
cooperative and before any consi eration will be given to theuse of the polygraph a waiver would be obtained from-
the boy's mother. _
ACTION TAKEN:
SAC Moore was advised that he could go forward
with the use of the polygraph in the event the waiver of approval
of the mother was obtained, unless advised to the contrary.

The Senatof"was"ver'y friendly and talked for approximately 15-20 minutt
He stated he was sorely troubled about the Birmingham case. He stated that he hoped
the FBI would solve this matter and bring the guilty incl.ividt....1==ls to task. The Senator.:specifically asked if we were looking into all angles. I asked him what he meant. _92He stated there is a possibility, of course, that Negroes might have perpetrated
is always a possibility that the communists had perpetrated the bombing. I told the
Senator the Director had instructed nothing be overlooked in our investigation of
this matter. ,lthis incident in order to keep arrtions at a fever pitch. He added, of course, there
Senator Russell told me he sincerely hoped that the Attorney General
or the President would not attempt to suppress evidence in this case. He said he knew
that Mr. Hoover would never stand for such an act, however, the possibility always
existed that if the perpetrators of the Birmingham incident proved to be individuals
whose guilt might embarrass the Administration, there could possibly be an attempt
to suppress evidence or play down the guilt of these individuals. I told Senator Russell
that the Director would never be a party to such an incident, that as a matter of fact,
if any Administration attempted to use the FBI in this manner, they would certainly
;regret it. I mentioned that the Director on a number 0RE8_& §,Si !}@v}1§p§_1_iI'l;. }3.§6f1-th3.l]_¢'£
no Attomey General had ever attempted to use the FBI in a "political" rria'nne11,i hovfeik
if that day ever came, then the Director would undoubtedly leave offic_e._ The Senatorstated he knew this, however, was gratified to this from us. He asked that I stop
by his office on the next time up to the Hill.

l;OdaY-
Interviews of known Klan and hate group members and
bombing suspects are continuing on an uninterrupted basis by the
Birmingham and auxiliary offices. Approximately 100 such interviews
on 9/19/63. In checking on the activities of
a ansman in Birmin ham it was determined that
a n the day of the bombing
the ' n . seat cove seat covers were recovered
by Agents and a portion forwarded to the Laboratory
for examination on 9/19/63 since the covers appear to contain aso Q substance which might have been left by a blasting fuse.
A71: An item of interest is information received from
¥T" who was in the basement of the church at the. She advised that she had Just asked the four
death victims to leave the ladies lounge and return to their
Sunday School class with the admonition, "Those who don't obey the
Lord live only half as long," She stated that she turned to walk
upstairs when the explosion occurred and all four Negroes to whom
she had made the remark were killed.
A11 phases of this investigation are being vigorously
pressed. The investigation will be even more intensified with the
additional personnel of ten Agents and two stenographers arriving
in Birmingham today on special assignment from other offices.
ACTION:
Close attention is being given this matter at the Seat of
Government and pertinent developments will be imme ately brought

SAC Roy K. Moore, who is at Birmingham directing our
investigation in this at 12: p.m. today
SAC Moore is arrangigg for the Jacksonville Office to cover
the activities of Chambliss on this trip. Other action will
depend upon what Chambliss does and/or what he loads on his truck.
If the load appears suspicious and unrelated to his employment,
SAC Moore plans to arrange, through the Jacksonville Office, to
either have Chambliss stopped by the police or by Special Agents
so he can be interviewed and the contents of the truck checked
out. SAC Moore was advising the Bureau so that the Bureau would
be on notice in the event SAC D.K.Brown, of Jacksonville, contacted-
the Bureau on this later. /Q4*17 //pg _# /pfjx

Dear Mr. Hoover
Being a very disabled person and having nothing else
to do, a person thinks a great deal. I was wondering the sudden
stoppage of big res up and down the eastern sea board has any
relation to the Birmingham bombing. These fires w3_s happening
every day until last Sunday.
Another thing if this was a time bomb my idea is that
it came from New York or Chicago.

would do such a thing.
I would suggest every airport and all passanger bechecked. - _
I hope the animals who commited this crime will be
caught.
It has been suggested that civil right leaders could have
had something to do with this in order to keep an uproar and discredit
those who disagree with them. I know one thing you are not interested
in any thing but justice.
And the good Lord only knows what will happen to the
FBI when you decide to retire.
Very respectfully

SAC Faisst called to advise that the Agent who drove
Earl Red! Blaik and Kenneth Royall from the airport was asked _
about the Bureau's investigation by Red Blaik. '
En route to the quarters occupied by Blaik and Royall,
Blaik inquired of the Agent as to just what progress was being made
and if we had any good leads. The Agent indicated that he was not
familiar with any of the specifics at which time Blaik indicated that
if he couldn't get it from Birmingham he" would have to call Washington
and get it from Director John Edgar Hoover. The Agent then/ properly said that he would be very glad to check with his superior.

vMr. Blaik desired to know if the Bureau was looking into all possible

Dear Mr. Hoover;
I am writing you in referrence to the bombing in
Birmingham.
I might be in error but I can't think this is anything
but the work of Communist.
You are no doubt familiar with the fact that Communism
was outlawed in B'ham. about 15 years ago. A Mr. "Hall was at the
head of the party. I don't know if this was Gus Hall or not. But I'm
of the impression it was. It was reported this Hall in B'ham went to
N. Y. C. the Headquarters!
It is reported now that there is a new leader of
Communistism in B'ham. This man's name is Claude CK.-Williams.
He is known as the director of the party. He did 'ope'raté' with '
Sedr_i_@7fB_e1_ch_ert of whom was deported to_ Russia by orders of
Robt. Kennedy. They were known for the subversive activities done.
This Claude C. Williams has posed in various cities /as a Pres. minister, one being Denver, Colo. & then Paris, Ark. I
And now its the same in B'ham for him. There's no Christianity in -I
any Communist as you know.
During the F. B. I. 's investigations here on the bombings,
don't you think it appropriate for this man to have an investigation too.
He could easily be the man, who knows. Thanks for the good job your
doing.

Aftermath Of Bombing ~
Father William James, Diocesan Cenfra-
ternify Director, here Write: of what he wit-
nessed and felt immediately after the hornb-
lng of a Negro Baptist Church In Birming-
ham last Sunday morning, Father James hap-
pened to be travelling Iust three blocks
away when the bomb wini oft. Hi ti a native
of Birmingham.! -
It sounded like a score of supersonic jet
planes had simultaneously broken the sound
barrier. People poured from their homes to
scan the sky. The almost deserted Sunday
morning streets quickly became crowded with
people still uncertain what had caused the
deafening blast.
I drove on for about a block until I saw a
man pointing to what seemed to be a cloud of
smoke, slowly rising from e about 4 blocks:
away. Turning quickly I drove toward the area
and parked my car. I began walking the short
distance to an area now swarming with hun-dreds ol' people frantically rushing to a street
already mobbed with ,a swaying Pushing crowd 1
and a few policemen, some of whom were
auxiliaries with steel helmets covering their
heads,
seemed dazed and completely mwildered. Dtl:- _
ers were cursing and shouting at an enemy
who seemed to be face to face with them. Re-
specllully, most moved aside as I got closer
to a rather large church, the Sixth Avenue
Baptist Church, from which people were stream
ing and into which ambulance drivers and ,
others were already going. 1
About ten cars parked next to the side en
trance of the church looked like they had been
dragged there from a junk yard. One of them,
seemingly blown out into the middle of the
street. was a pitiful sight. Rocks and large .
stones and pieces of concrete were every- .
where. From _a building across the street shredgq

Iof curteins waved through broken and shat
tered windows. 'l'hen I saw it.
ON THE EAST SIDE of the church were pre-
viously had been a doorway and stairs lead-
ing to it was now an opening large enough to
drive a big truck through. What had been the
basement of the. church now looked like rem-
nants of war-torn buildings I had seen in pic-
tures. The church had been bombed. The thick
cement and brick wall, symetrically and power-
fully built to last for years, now was reduced
to a mass of rubble. No floor was visible
through piles of rock and debris. A toilet
bowl was lying on top of some of the rocks
as if it had been casually offhandedly thrown
there. Blood was all over the side walk ap-
proaches to the church and people were being
helped into the many ambulances which had
now arrived. "Father," one of the bystanders
said to me, they are trying to kill all of us."
I could only agree.
A well-dressed Negro man was now pleading
with the crowd to refrain from violence, It
was his church that had been bombed The
loolice will {ind those responsible for this," he
said. A group of young men in the crowd
were loudly disagreeing with him. About then
helmetted police quietly and cautiously tried
to move into the crowd now massed all over
the street. A patrol car slowly eased through
one section of the surging mass and someone
bounced a large stone off the top of it. Another
followed. Other stones began to y toward the
line of police who did their best to dodge them.
The minister was still pleading for order.i I O
MANY OF THE PEOPLE I passed were an-
xious to speak. All of them who did so spoke
respectfully and quietly. "Reverend", one man
said, isn't this terrible?" A well-dressed man
who looked like he might have been an usher
in the bombed church said, Father, we've got
to be patient. 'Vengence is mine saith the
rd. We must not become violent." A young3:1 lwith a Bible in his hand walked by cursing
u y. _
Accidentally I bumped into a girl who was al-
eady in motion to throw a large rock toward
the police in the middle of the street. When
she saw me she paused and then dropped the
rock when a Negro man standing nearby and
smiy holding on to his wife told her not-toQ. -u-lbw-.._JI
was the fortieth bombing in recent years and
then he asked rbetorically, How long can we
keep our people from serious retaliation?"
statement struck me immediately as being
very similar to the How long. 0 Lord. how
long!" of the oppressed people of Gill-Ills-"ll
Old Testament. '
More police were now arriving. Fire trucks
with lights burning brightly even in the day-
light were slowly moving _toward the area.
Crowds of people were running here and there.
some getting away from the rocks that were
ying about, others were calling for children
or for loved ones who seemed to have been in
the church.I I I _
AS I WAS WALKING away from the churcli,
an elderly looking gentleman approached me
and asked, Reverend, why can't they catch
the ones who did such a thing? Why don't they
get those who are trying to kill us?" A short
time later the second question would have been
stated differently for they found the bodies of
four little girls who were killed by the explo-sion.I U 1
A LAST LOOK at the scene which was I
coming more and more frightening by.tl_ie
ute brought once again to my attention the
"l-low long?" of the minister. On this Sunday
moming which had begim so quietly and coa-
tinued so violently this same prayerful ques-
tion must surely have been in the hearts and
on the lips of many of the good people of Bir-
mingham. ' j
Birmingham - a city that is truly beautiful;
a city which glories in a history that was so
remarkable it merited for itself the title t__he
Magic City." Birmingham-now a name which
epitomizes for many throughout the world
hatred and violence and brutality. Birmingham
-a city whose people now, if not in times
past, truly know real fear. My sincere prayer
as I walked away and the prayer oi" many
others who, like myself, were born in this city
and who love this city, my prayer was that the
time would not be so long before this city once
again would be known for her beauty, for her
good people, tor her tranquil and peaceful way
of life, for charity towards all men, rather than
for such as happened on this overcast and
