two of the eight Agents assigned to the Bapbomb squad
of his office, on other assignments.

the only police instructor available, as a participant
_ 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
for four days. -who is

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

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.

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

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.,

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°

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 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.

identify and obtain background information on the following
possihhasuspects in this bombing prior to conducting actual

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,

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.

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

He said State Public Safety Di-

just before his speech that four
telephones had been f0und'
tapped thus far in Jefferson

Without indicating who the
wiretappers might be, Wallace
said We know the Justice De-

News stafi_ writer g ,
Privacy like the whooping
crane _is fast becoming ex-
tinct in the U.S.
Even in Alabama, the'long
treasured freedom of secret
speech and action is vanishing,
exposed by electronic eaves-
dropping devices and super
cameras which can take pictures
in the dark. '
Three miniature electronic de-
vices for monitoring telephone
conversations have been found;
in Alabama during the past
month, according to Public
Safety Director Al Lingo.
One such device was found
last Thursday, attached to the
telephone wire a Bin-ningharn
home. Another was located in a
Birmingham home about three
weeks ago. Still another was io-
cated on the telephone of Miss
Sybil Poole, member, of the
Alabama Public Service Com-
mission. _ '
In all three cases, the de-'
vices were tiny, self powered
short wave radios, capable of
broadcasting phone conversa-
tions several blocks away to a
receiver.
All three devices were ingen-
iously constructed at a cost from
$150 to $250. They were cleverly
concealed. a
ALTHOUGH Ti-IE state has
"a good suspect," persons who
installed these electronic bugs;
arenqt known. Tracing the in-
struments, according to Lingo,
is almost impossible.
Manulactured in Miami and
San Francisco, the bugs bear no
manufacturer's label. A few,
Lingo said, are being made.
right here in Alabama by skilled,
electronic technicians. A few years ago, tapping a
phohe wire as a major project

nary a ncies - private or pub-treasured pr;_yacy ext1m:is . ' . ,._- _ ; _ .....,_ .-_,,-.. L -: ~BY nun coupon -. llturizedelectronic devices using u-=uc=1= 1=<=q'T-em of
tiny transistors instead of tubes
has brought the wiretapper's art,
within the reach of the ordinary,
investigator or espionage age_nt._l
Time Magazine recently re- i
vealed the federal government bays some $29 rniliicn of tele- _[phone hugging devices a year. 1
Many of these bugs are used-'_
, Most expensive among the
bugs is the tiny transmitter.
Some ot_ these are no larger
than a lump of sugar and many
are smaller than a pack of cig-
arets. 1 _ .
Most popular is the simple in-
duction coil, which picks up both
ends of a phone conversation.
A FEW ULTRA-sophisticated
bugs can perform their spy-
chores without being connected
to a phone. "The only limit to the
size of the instrument is battery
power. Experts predict nuclear
power will furtherreduce theirsize. . - , . f . _
p Atty. Gen. Robert Kennedy
lput a bill before Congress in
I962, which would permit feder-
al authorities, under orders of
the Mtorney "General, to wire-
tap, with a court order. 1 '
In certain situations - such as
espionage, subversion, murder,
kidnapping, interstate I'3Cl{Bl6Bl?
ling and narcotics - wiretapping
would be legal, rind would yield
legal court evidence. _
In espionage, the Attorney
General nnuld sidestep the C0l.ll'l.
in he thought asking for a court
order would endanger the na-tional interest; . ' " -
Under the bill, all other
forms of wiretapping would beprohibited and punishable by 1:$10,900 fine or two years

tion and has failed to pass in the
two years it has mo r-mag.ll As fpnmmt federal wireill,laws, there are as many inter-
=pretations as there are courts
and judges. Some judges hold
wiretapping a crime in itself.
while others liold it "illegal only
if the intercepted messages are
disclosed. . _ '
l ALABAMA, LIKE :2 other
"states, has laws making wire-
'Fappil'lg__3 crime punishable by
heavy tines and 1311 sentences.
Under Title 48, Sections 415 and
-416, of the Alabama Code, wire-
tapping or_ interferring with
telephone communication is a
misdemeanor punishable by a
$500 fine or six months in jail,
or both. .
Eleven states have no laws
;at all governing wiretapping or
recorded telephone conversa-
tions. Six states permit wire-
tapping _ but confine its legal
use mainly to law enforcement.
The threat to privacy is by
no means limited to monitored
phone conversations. '
A child can- order through
the mail a $15 device which
magnifies sound and can pick
up a conversation in 'a mom
across the street. "
For $17.90, anyone can have
an instrument which "taps" a
Ltelephone without touching a
lwire. -
For $150, a budding spy can
buy a television camera which
can scan a room in complete
secrecy and transmit pictlires,
with. sound, to a hidden receiv-
erseveral blocks away. ' ,
PRIVATE DETECTIVES con-
.ceal_ microphones, some with
built-in transmitters, in hat-
,bands, wrist watches or tie
92Ci3§|'}5. Microphones, no largerithan a button, feeds conversa-_
tions to a recorder concealed on
the detective's person, then re-
lays it to a receiver several
blocks away.
' Tiny transmitters can be in-
stalled in rooms. offices and
even automobiles. They'are pow-
erful enough to send conversa-
tions several blocks to several
'mil,8S. H

Lingo said the is "no spé-"clal equipment lor revihiing
the presence of a bug, but
added the devices can and oft- ,
en do betray i.l1¢IIl58]V2S.: g
In all the three cases here in
Alabama, _the bugs rnalfimc;
honed and caused trouble on the
telephone lines. In Miss Poole;-
case, there was a buzzing on the
line even after a number had
l
The two hugs installed in Bir-
mingham homes caused other
conversations to "leak" through.
In other words, the user of the
bugged phone, could hear other
people talking while they tried
to carry on their own conversa-tions.- - " '
Sometimes, a malfunctioning
bug will cause interrupted dial-
_ing or other oddities in the
phone's operation.-
A PERSON WHO suspects his
phone has been tapped can easi-
ly' relieve his mind by asking
Ithe telephone company to check
lihis line. If the repairmanstinds
,a voltage drop" on the line, it
is almost certain the phone is
being tapped somehow. V
All bugs aren't detectable how-
ever. For example anyone can
be recorded by the person on the
lather end ct the line without de-ijtection. -- -
1* Anyone suspecting his con-
-versation is being recorded,
can foul the recording by sim-
;92 ply tapping the mouthpiece of
the phone with a pencil or oth-
er objects during the conver-
sation. The noise will magnify
1 and blot out parts of the con-
versation. . ,
Similar results can he ob-
tained by other noises in the
room, such as music, a loud
television or even running wa-
ter. Devices for recording tele-
phone conversations are ex-
Wtremely sensitive and will mag-linify the sl.ightest'noise. _ X

" . BY BUD GORDON gturized electronic devices using
. . News stall lter tiny transistors instead of tubes
-Privacy like the whooping has brought the wiretapper's art-
crane is fast becoming ex-
tinct in the U.S. _
Even in Alabama, the long
treasured freedom of secret
speech and action vanishing,
exposed by electronic eaves-
dropping devices and super
cameras which cu take pictures
in the dark. -
Three miniature electronic de-
vices for monitoring telephone
conversations have been found
in Alabama during the past
month, according to Public
Safety Director Al Lingo.
One such device was found
last Thursday, attached'to the
telephone wire in a Birmingham
home. Another was located in a
Birmingham home about three
weeks ago. Still another was lo-
cated on the telephone of Miss
Sybil Poole, member of the
Alabama Public Service Com-
mission.
ln all three cases, the de-
vices were tiny, sell powered
short wave radios, capable oi
broadcasting phone conversa-
tions several blocks away to 8
receiver. e
Ail three devices were ingen-
iously constructed at a cost from
$150 to $250. They were cleverly
concealed. .
ALTHOUGH THE state has
a good suspect, persons who
installed these electronic bugs
are not known. Tracing the in-
struments, according to Lingo,
is almost impossible. _
1'1/lanufaclured in Miami and
San Francisco, the hugs hear no
manufacturers label. A =few,
Lingo said, are being made
right here in Alabama by skilled
electronic technicians.
A few yeaus ago, tapping a
phone wire was amajor project
capabilities ct ordi-within the reach of the ordinaryf
investigator or espionage agent?
Time Magazine recently
vealed the federal government ,
buys some SL" million oi tele= 3
phone bugging devices a year.
Many of these bugs are used 1,
by federal officials on their ;
own phones to record conver- ~
sations in secrecy. ' ' -
Most expensive among the
bugs is the tiny transmitter.
Some of these are no larger
than a lump of sugar and many
are smaller than a pack oicig-
arets. -- _
Most popular is the simple in-
duction coil, which picks up both
ends of a phone conversation.
A FEW ULTRA-sophisticated
bugs can perform their spy-
chores without being connected
to a phone. The only limit to the
size of the instrument is battery
power. Experts predict nuclear
power will further-reduce theirsize. - -- . ' -
Atty. Gen. Robert -Kennedy
pet a bill before Congress in
1962, which would permit feder-
al authorities, under orders of
the Attorney General, to wire
tap, with a court order.
In certain situations such as
espionage, subversion, murder,
kidnapping, interstat_e.racketeer-
ing and narcotics wiretapping
would be legal, and would yield
legal court evidence. "
In espionage, the Attorney
General could sidestep the court,
ii he thought asking mr a court
order_ would endanger the na-
tional interest. I . - A
Under the bill, all other
forms of wiretapping would be
prohibited and punishable by n
810.060 fine or two years in
nary agencies ? private or pub-
lic. But recent strides in'minia-federal prison. ."' 92But, the bill has _met 7 -

two years it has been pending.
1' As toffuffeflffederal wiretap
"1 laws, there are as many inter-
-pretations as there are courtsland judges. Some judges hold
iwiretapping a crime in itself,fiwhile others held it illegal only
'if'the intercepted messages are
- disclosed. ' . --
'ALABAMA, LIKE 32 other
states, hastlaws making wire-
Kheavy fines and jail sentences.
. Under Title 48, Sections 415 and
.416, of the Alabama Code, wire-
tapping or -interferring with
telephone communication is a
misdemeanor punishable by a
-$506 fine 'or -siit months in iaii,
or both. _,
j Eleven states have no lawsat all governing wiretapping ?
recorded telephone convers -
tions. Six states permit wire-
tapping but confine_its legal
use mainly to law enforcement.
The threat to privacy is by
no means limited to monitored
phone conversations.
A child can order through
the rnaii a $i5 device which
magnifies sound and can pick
up a conversation in a room
across the street. - -
For $17.91}, anyone can have
an instrument which "taps" a
telephone_ without touching a
wire.
For $150, a budding spy can
buy a television camera which
can scan a room in completetsecrecy and transmit pictures,
.with sound. to a hidden receiv-
er several blocks away.-
PRIVATE DETECTIVES con-
ceal microphones, some with
built-in transmitters, in hat-
bands, wrist Watches or tie
clasps. Microphones, no larger
than a button, feeds conversa-
tions to a recorder concealed on
_the detectives person. then re-.
lays it to a receiver several
blocks away. -
Tiny transmitters can E in-4
stalled in rooms, offices and-
even automobiles. They are pow-1
erful enough to send conversa-;
tions several blocks to several?
miles. t. ' I -

ticult, most telephone bugging
devices can be detected. T
Lingo said tilt!!!-is-no spe-
clal equipmetit for revealing
the presence of a bug, but
added the devices can and ott-
eu do betray themselves. p
In all the three cases here in
Alabama, the bugs malfunc-
tioned and caused trouble on the
telephone lines. In Miss Pooles
case, there was a buzzing on the
line even after a number had
been dialed. ' _ 92
The two bugs installed in Bir-'
lfningham homes caused other
conversations to "leak" through.
In other words, the user of the
bugged phone, could hear other
people talking while they tried
to carry on their own conversa-
tions. _ . ' ~-
: Sometimes, a malfunctioning
bug will cause interrupted dial-
ing or other oddities in thephone's operation.
A PERSON WHO suspects his
phone has been tapped can easi-
ly relieve his mind by asking
the telephone company to check
his line. If therepairman finds
3a voltage drop on the line, it-
is almost certain the phone is
being tapped somehow,
All bugs arent detectable how-
ever. For example anyone can
be recorded by the person on the;
other end of the line without de-
tection. _ - -
Anyone suspecting his cou-
versatiou is being recorded,
can foul the recording by sim-
ply tapping the mouthpiece of .
the phone with a pencil or eth-
er obiects during the conver-
sation. The noise will magnify
and blot out parts of the cou-versatlon. - ' "
Similar results can be ob-,
tained by other noises in the
room, such as music, a loud
television or even running wa-
ter. Devicesfor recording tele-
phone conversations are ex-
tremely sensitive and will mag-
nify the slightest noise.
A B 0 V E ALL, Col. Lingo
