sraumamm cannon some
Congressman Carl Elliott, Democrat, Alabama, with '
whom we have enjoyed cordial relations, has advised by letter
oi 3/2/64 he would appreciate having a "status report on the
progress of the Federal Bureau oi Investigation's inquiry int .
the church bombing at Birmingham last year."
Relations with Congressman Elliott: Vs" ' """' l-l|ll_IlI1_ '7 _1""IIII ,
On 3/12/63 the Director met Congressman Elliott at
which time Congressman Elliott stated his purpose in calling was
to pay his respects to Mr, Hoover whom he considers one oi the
country's greatest men. Following his visit, Congressman Elliott
furnished a copy oi his newsletter to his constituents in which
he praised Hr. Hoover and the FBI, and in which the photograph oi
Elliott shaking hands with the Director appeared, along with the
statement, "l only wish that every Alabamian could have the
opportunity, as I did, to be personally briefed by Hr. Hoover
on the Comunist conspiracy." From time to time through personal
contact by Hr. DeLoach's Office, we have furnished Congressman
Elliott literature on comunism for use in his speeches, and he
was presented an autographed copy of the Director's book "A Study
or Communism" in January, 1963.

RE: CORGBESSIAN CARL ELLIOTT
real evidence. Extensive investigation has shown a lack or
the necessary evidence oi interstate transportation oi an
explosive to permit Federal prosecution, however, we are
continuing to press this investigation ior a possibleIprosecutable violation.
The Department authorized the SAC, Birmingham, to -
appear beiore the Federal Grand Jury in session at Birmingham
in February, 1964, in response to a request by Federal Judge
Clarence Allgood tor information as to developments in this
case. The SAC, Birmingham, was instructed to confine his remarks
to this statement: "That this Bureau initiated extensive
investigation at the very outset of the case, that we are
continuing to exert all-out effort to bring this matter to a
logical conclusion, that we have cooperated with local authorities
throughout investigation and are continuing to cooperate, that we
have conducted thousands oi interviews, that we have conducted
extensive technical examinations oi various types oi material
which may have a bearing upon the ultimate solution oi the case
through the facilities of the FBI Laboratory and Identification
Divisions." SAC, Birmingham, was instructed that no specific
details or suspects names should be furnished to the Grand Jurygnizhg did appear confining his remarks as outlined above on
4. _
RECOHHHDRTIOHS2
Although our relationship with Congressman Elliott
has been warm and cordial, it appears the operations oi his oiiice
and stat! must be viewed in the over-all light oi inquiries he may
receive from those having associations with the Alabama Highway
Petrol. Accordingly, it appears any data given the Congressman
should not go beyond the scope oi the general statement given the
Federal Grand Jury. It is recommended that Congressman Elliott be
orally infbrmed by ur. DeLoach's Oiiice of the status oi our
investigation within the framework or the statement provided the
Federal Grand Jury in Birmingham.

Memorandum to ur. Belmont -
BE: BHKHUHH SUBJECTS; BQHBIHG OF
' SIXTEENTH STREET BAPTIST CHURCH
Extensive interviews of all logical persons who
might have had knowledge of the bombing were completed by
the Birmingham Office. These interviews running into the
thousands included all persons in the church; a1l'residents
of the area for blocks around the church; all tadesmen and P
business people in the area; police, iire and civil defense
personnel; all persons who came through the area on subsequent
days and the suppliers of explosives,
As a result of the intensive investigation and
our informants, information was developed on a small group
of men within the Eastview Klavern of the United Klans,
Knights of the Kn Klux Klan, as probably being responsible
for the bombing. we intensified our investigation of this
group. Included in this group were Robert_§hamb1iss.Charles Arnie Qagle and John Wesley Hall. "
PREMATURE ACTION BY THE ALABAMA HIGHWAY RATROL:
On 9/29/63 and 10/1/63, the Alabama Highway
Patrol arrested the above three suspects and held them for
48 hours before placing a charge against them of illegal
possession of dynamite. The three men were convicted and
each received a maximum sentence of a $100 fine and 180
days in Jail, The three men have appealed and are presently
free on bond, '
We have been reliably informed that the Alabama
Highway Patrol had no evidence against these men and the
arrests were made on the direct orders of Colonel Al Lingo,
Director of Public Safety of Alabama, since be was informed
that we were considering these men as prime suspects and
wanted to "jump the gun, - An ofcial of the Patrol has
confidentially advised us that responsible police officers
were infuriated by the action of Lingo,
EFFEF71 Q1! A,NPi§§T3
Due to the intensive investigation oi Klan and
hate groups during this period throughout the South, we know
that these groups have been seriously hindered in their
operations and have lost members and support. These groups
know that the Bureau is aware oi their activities and is also

McHILLAN stated he had also contacted U. S. ' 'case who is cons d
Attorney MACON L. WEAVER, Birmingham, who prov1ded_h1m
with some general background information and indicated
that there were thousends_of persons interviewed by the e
FBI. He mentioned that Assistant U. S. Attorney R. MACEY
TAYLOR
TAYLOR
on the
TAYLOR
arrestsuggested that he drop by this office even though t'~
pointed out that we were not in a position to comment
matter. He stated he had endeavored to have
comment or render an opinion as to whether the '
of three individuals on about September l, 1963,
in connection with local transportation of dynamite -
charges had jeopardized the success of any FBI
investigation-
McMILLAN stated that before he walked into H
the FBI Office he was aware of the fact that we probably
could not answer any questions he might have, but he
still wanted to drop by to get acquainted. He said
that actually he did not need many facts to write his-
article. He said his article could be prepared with -
surprisingly few facts and would be filled with human
interest items. He asked one specific question, that
is, whether the arrest by the Alabama Highway Patrol on
about September 1, 1963, had jeopardized the success of
an other investigation in the Bapbomb case. He wastoid that we certainly could not comment on that, and
that our position in this case is no different than it
would be in any other case because traditionally we
have never placed ourselves in a position where we
evaluate the efficiency or inefficiency of any other
law enforcement agency and it is not our prerogative
to make such comments. He stated that he anticipates
returning to his home within the next several days
and in the near future may drop by to see AAG BURKE
MARSHALL or ED GUTHMAN of the Department for some
additional background if necessary although he is
inclined to doubt whether it would be necessary.

DeLOACH or someone in Mr. DeLOACH's office, and he
indicated he would give consideration towards such
a contact if he did decide to contact the Bureau.

concerning the Bapbomb case except the fact that the
matter is still receiving continuing investigative
attention with a view towards its ultimate solution.

license endeavor to prepare some form of a colorful

Dear Edgar: I ' i :
Recently I have received several inquiries about
the status of the investigation into the tragic
bombing in Bi rmingham last September.
i
It seems to me no stone can be left unturned in x
our attempts to find the murderer or murderers "
of the four youngsters. If you need more
investigators or facilities to accomplish this p
goal, do not hesitate to allocate the necessary '
funds even if this must be at the expense of . -
projects of lesser importance. Be sure that
I realize the many obstacles which have been
placed in the path of your competent investigators.
I would appreciate hearing from you on the present
status of the investigation. It is also my under- - '
standing that a nuznber of bombings in Birrningharn
connected with racial intolerance have remained
unsolved in the past few years. I would appreciate
a status report on these investigations. J.
¬ -ncerel , - -1.

Birmingham apart and have interviewed thousands of persons. We
have_serious1y disrupted Klan activities by our pressure and
interviews so that these organizations have lost members and
support. We have harassed the principal suspects in this case by
every possible means in an attempt to bring about a solution. we

snrveillances and technical snrveillances.
Our Agent personnel have used imagination and ingenuity *
to seriously hamper the activities of the suspects in this case t
such a oint that the sus ects have at times attempted to have on P D
Agents arrested. We have exerted pressure on neighbors andemployers in order to obtain legally admissible evidence tying »:§,.

Memorandum to Mr. Belmont
RE: BOMBING OF THE SIXTEENTH
STREET BAPTIST CHURCH
.-' Q
It should be noted that the Birmingham Office is under
inspection at the present time. We have exerted extreme pressure
from the Seat of Government on this case but it is believed
advisable for Assistant Director Gale to go down to Birmingham
with a fresh viewpoint to go over the situation to see right on
the scene whether there are any additional pressure points that
can be brought to bear.
By doing this, we can then say in the letter to the
President that the Director has sent an Assistant Director of
this Bureau to Birmingham to insure that all possible steps to
s lve these cases a e b ing taken. ,O yarnge, ,:§.t,,,Q.¢_,q_£92_n4'!R¢ vv='92'=~*99'b
