FROM
SUBJECT:
Reference is made to the memorandum of 10/ 14/ 63 which reflected
the information setting forth an analysis of the bombing situation in Birmingham.
It was pointed out that in view of the finding that there was substantial
work remaining to be done; that there was a heavy overtime by the Agents
assigned to the special investigation and in view of the importance of the cas e;
that the investigation should continue as is with a further re-examination in ten days
w . 92
92 .
. I have gone over the situation in Birmingham with SAC Moore and there
continues to be a heavy volume of work and activity. There has been no let-down
in the pressure which is being exerted to bring about an early solution to this case
and each day results in the development of some bit of inioqmation which indicates
we are proceeding in the right direction. We have a number of avenues being
approached; any of which could be most productive.
Based upon my personal knowledge of the situation and after discussing
this with SAG Moore, I recommend that we can phase out at this time five Agents.
This will not work a hardship on the special squad and will amount to a reduction
out five Agents and one clerical employee by the end of this week. They can get f
their dictation and assignments in shape so they will be able to return to their &#39;of 16 2/ 3 per cent of the squad. If approved, I will instruct SAC Moore to phase 7}

"This memorandum recommends that the Attorney General&#39;s n &#39;
authority be obtained to install a technical surveillance on the telephone of
Robert Edward Chambliss, 2505 32nd Avenue North, Birmingham, Alabama.
Chambliss is a prime suspect in the instant bombing and otherI bombings which have taken place in Birmingham. He is also a close
_ associate of other prime suspects in these bombings.
This is the case involving the bombing of the church in which four
small Negro children were killed. It is hoped that through such a techinical 
surveillance information will be developed leading to the identication of the
perpetrators.
In view of the tense racial situation in Birmingham aggravated by
the recent bombings, it is believed that further activity on the part of those
responsible for the bombings could easily lead to further rioting, bloodshed, rloss of life, materially affecting the security of the United States. _,"  ./K
The Birmingham Office has assured that the technical surveillance
can be installed with full security.

sunjscrgheSAC Moore called to advise me that two Agents,- and
to the National States Rights Party headquarters with reference
out a blue Nash automobile which was referred to during the
course of our investigation. They had also talked to a neighbor who had
indicated that in 1961 the neighbor had seen Dr. Fields  head of the NSRP!
having some guns loaded in his car.

Jerry Dutton was previously arrested for havin possession of a gun.
The Agents asked whether Dr. Fields was in, stating they would like
to ti: to him. Dutton started a tirade about the two Agents being
communists and generalblengaged in the kind of talk which NSRP has put
out about Negroes, FBI, and so forth. Dutton stated that both of them
were in violation of the trespass laws and they were going to call the local
police. The Agents suggested that if they desired to do this, this was their
prerogative. e
After waiting some time, the police did come and the_Agents
did not leave as they were taunted by these two fellows to dare to run
now that the police had been called. Dr. Fields subsequently came tothe house and the police arrived. The Agents heard Dutton call the police ]
indicating that there were two communists at the house and they wanted
these fellows arrested for trespass.  i
When the police arrived, they arrested Dutton for making a false
call to the police department furnishing false information. The lieutenantof the police department,  ho answered the call asked
the Agents whether they were a e person who made the call. The
Agents clearly indicated that they heard Dutton make the call and would beglad to testify to this.  / 7 .» , /:5, _ __ -

On October 28, 1983, the Attorney General called at my oiiico
and discussed a number oi matters. &#39;
The iirst matter discussed was the Bobby Baker case and its
various ramiiicationa. 1 iniorsne-<1 tho i-.tto_rney General that we were
daily receiving momoranda iron: the Criminal Division oi the Department
acting for additional investigations and wo had given this particular matter
top priority.
I stated thoro was no doubt that Q;J..Bl had been associating with
most undesirable characters here in £.1.ehin;;ion and other mrts oi the
country. l stated that oi course the iiureau was  into two egaecific
aspects oi the case; namely, the conili-.:t oi interest and any fraud which
ho may hon porpetratod in-diohurso:;.c~ni oi iunds at the Capitol.
&#39; We then discussed the illicit scooietsch case. I ontlined to the
Attorney General tho details oi this sit-nation and the ramications oi it.
I told him about tho couv-emotion that I had had with the President
on tho preceding Sunday by phone in which the President expressed concern
about tho possible involvement oi pomonnel at tho White House. I stated
that we had immediately interviewed the Romotsch woman, who is now
living in Cologne, Germany, and had obtained a written statement iron:
her stating that she had had no relations with anyone on the ithite House
ataii. I advised the Attorney General that she had declined to give the
names oi any oi her clients. I stated that the some attitude had been taken
§ZK&#39;.&#39;..j2Ill1o other women who had been in the so-coll-ed "cell girl" operation,

The Attorney Genornl then mentioned the recent rrinogritph. on

He etated he oi course realized this ht: iclt that it would be
desirable to recall all oi the ciocuancnts because he did not know who else

ROBERT E. CHBMBLISS, 2505 32nd Avenue, North,
Birmingham, Alabama, was contacted at his place of employ-
ment, Rebuilt Auto Parts Company, 1508 3rd Avenue, South,
Birmingham, Alabama. GHAMLISS showed a hostile attitude,
andcalled for his employers, Mr. and rs. HERMAK SIEGAL,
to come to the loading dock so that they could witness him
tell off the investigating agents. Mr. and Mrs. SIEGAL and -
two unidentified Negroes witnessed the remainder of the
interview.
CHAMBLISS stated, I am going to tell the FBI
where they can go. 72% of the bastards are Roman Catholics
under the control of that yellow traitor Bobby Kennedy, and
they had better leave me alone. New I am going to tell you.
Stay away from my house and don&#39;t talk to my wife and rela-
tives any more about me. I am warning you. I am going to
sue you; you are trying to drive me crazy."
During this tirade CHAMBLISS was wildly waving his .
hands in direction of the agents and pointing his finger at
them, but did not approach them.
Agent reminded czsumniss that if he nae
nothing to hide, there could be no logical reason for his
present wild attitude, and that he was not acting like an
innocent man. It was further pointed out to CHAMBLISS that
the members of the FBI were going to carry out the legitimate
and necessary investigation of his activities, including his
past, present, and future, with or without his cooperation
and approval, and that this investigative effort would
continue until such as the true facts concerning him were
determined. &#39;
CHAMBLISS complained that he was being harrassed
by the FBI, and that he was going to do something about it.
CHAMLISS was asked by the interviewing agents to point out
a single instance where they had harrassed him or any member
of his family. GHAMBLISS was unable to answer, and walked
away a short distance, but returned immediately withoutcomment. &#39;

The interviewing agents urged CHAMLISS to cooperate
in the present investigation, and pointed out that his
cooperation would permit a speedy and logical conclusion of
the investigation concerning him. CHAMBLISS was informed that
he would be contacted again after he had an opportunity to
reconsider his attitude and position with the thought that he
realize that he should cooperate fully in any investigation of
the nature and importance of the present investigation in
Birmingham.
CHAMBLISS did not orally acknowledge these statements
but appeared to be embarrassed that neither his audience or the
interviewing agents had been impressed by his crude remarks.

they are not pieces of the same coat hanger. The beginnin
of the hook part of the hanger is

the Q17 wire. However, the
cut ends oi K27 are rusted which prevents e determination
as to whether or not the same tool was used to cut these two
