DISRUPTION OF HATE GROUPS

ReBulet 9/2/64 to Atlanta and other offices.

It is noted this letter lists as one of the target organizations,as io. 7 on page 2, theIndependent Klavern, Fountain Inn, S. C.Since this organization is no longer active or in existence, itis sugcges ed it be deleted from this list.

Since the major organization in Charlotte Divisionis the United Klans of America, Inc., of which Birmingham isorigin, a copy of this letter is being designated to Birminghamfor information.

The following represents the consensus of CharlotteAgcnts faniliar with Klan activity:

I. Disruptive activity should not be undertaken ata particular Klvern, as a general rule, unless there issuff icient well established informant coverage to be able to /tell the effect of the action when instituted. Such action /would probably serve to "tighten up" the organization and make

it more difficult to get an informant in thereafter.

2. It is considered doubtful that newspaper publicity,of only a generally unfavorable nature against the Klan organi-zation, is effective in reducing new applicants or causing any

lare number of present members to drop out. The "CharlotteObserver, " which has wide distribution throughout North andSouth Carolina, pulished in August and September, 1964, a seriesof articles, copies of which were sent the Bureau by Charlotte

letter of ;/15/64. These ar p% s ridiculed the United Klans

of erica, Inc., in North Carolina, and published both photosand names of a number of members. So far as has been'learnedfrom informants, this had very-little adverse effect upon theorganization. It was alleged that two to five members weredischarged from their jobs, or warned about continuing member-ship, but the identities of thes *1egd persons is potknown,North Carolina Grand Dragon JAMES R. NES has stated both

publicly and privately to informants, that this publicitywas.very valuable to the growth of the organization. .One informantreported that the day after the articles published his name asa local leader, three persons contacted him and applied formembership, stating they had not previously known whom to contact.

It is considered that puDrerCfTYof this-type generallydeters from joining only those persons who would not beinterested in joining in the first place. It is believed thata large proportion of those persons who are potential membersare seeking status and recognition, and publicity is no deterrentto them; it makes them feel important and members of an importantgroup.

The major apparent effect of the series of newspaperarticles referred to has been a tightening up of security, andrefusal of leaders to allow newspaper photos of individual.Klansmen to be taken at public rallies.

3. Disruptive activity, whetever possible, should be ofa nature which does not expose the fact that the Bureau, or the"Federal Government", is behind the activity. It is believedthat open action, to a large extent, can backfire and createresentment and sympathy. It must be remembered that Klan

Smembership, in many sections, does not by any means carry theodium that alleged Communist membership or sympathy does inalmost any section of society.

4f Along this same line, there is probably no point intrying disruptive activity, at least not at this stage, on alodal Klan group which is small, inactive, and peaceful. Any.sudh activity which is not completely discreet and concealed ' ;..would likely have the effect of stirring it up. Or

5. By letter of 9/26/64, Charlotte furnished the Bureaua sample of a lapel pin which was adopted at the Imperial

, 2.

t CC>

Klonvocation of United Klans of America at Birmingham on

9/5-6764. This is to be sold to members for $2 each andthere is apparently considerable demand for it. Since it isnot apparent to the unitiates that it has anything to do

with "the (lan," it is expected that members willwear it

openly as a secret recognition signal. If it does becomewidely adopted and worn, consideration should then bel*given togiving widespread publicity to the fact of what it represents.

, This should have the result of discouraging some persons who

Sdo not want their Klan membership publicly known.

6. It is considered that possibly the most effective

. way of discouraging membership, or causing existing members :to withdraw, is to establish that someone.in the organization.

is getting rich off it, or embezzling the proceeds. Charlotte

is endeavoring to develop information along these lines, butnothing specific has yet been developed.

7. The following are suggested tactics that appear. useful on a selected basis againist individual Klansmen,

particularly those whose employers might object to their Klan

membership:

a. Anonymous letter or phone call to the employertelling of the Klan membership.

b. Enter on behalf of the member a subscription to

the "Fiery Cross," United Kians of America publication, and have

it mailed to his employment.

c. When a particular member is away from home at a

Klavern meeting, have a female phone his home and indicate he

was to meet her and is late. This might have the effect ofmaking it difficult for him to get away from home at night

• thereafter. This should be limited to particular individuals

who are considered potential ones to stir up trouble in a Klavern.

instituted what it calls "Security Guards," who wear military

typt uniforms and have military ranks. These function at

public rallies for the purpose of keeping order, watching for

During the period August 30 to September 4, 1964;:.the I"Charlotte O'berver" publislhed a series of articles authored byreporters exposing and critical ofthe Unite .Lns otr o ra, nc., nights of the Ku Klux Klan(UKA). One article included a photograph of a Klansman who waserroneously identified to the reporters by an Antifamation-Leagueinformant a- one Phil-Gibson, a UKA member. Gibson is now threateningto institute suit against the "Observer" for the misidentificationand is demanding a retraction be published. Such a retraction would

protect the "Observer" from unitive damages but would not precludea suit for civil damages. believes he can force

Gibson to drop the suit if interview local Klansmen who

11I under subpoena would identify Gibson as a Klan member to avoid 'r

To prevent Gibson from winning the civil suit or

Sobtaining rn out-of-court judgment, which would gain prestigeand favorablec publicity for the UKA, the Charlotte Office h i:,ecommends we a,:vise w the names of selected Klan members whocould testify to the .Gmbership of Gibson.

probably cause Gibson to drop his suit.

".. believe this action should be taken by an anonymousletter. g has 0cn numerous occasions been cooperative with

our. Charlotte Office. He is trustworthy and reliable and a

careful reporter, If the newspaper can force Gibson to drop

the suit, it will have a demoralizing effect on the UKA and

it will encourage other newspapers to speak out against the Klan

organization. If local Klan members are threatened with subpoenas

If Gibson is successfuRl i ning a cvil suit or

snJgT: ":COUNTERINTELLIGENCE PROGRAMINTERNAL SECURITYDISRUPTION OF HATE GROUPS(JAMES ROBERTSON JONES)

Re BureaU letter to Charlotte, 10/1/64, captioned

as above.

Considerable background information conerning

JONES is set out in Charlotte report of.SA

12/12/63, entitled "JAMES ROBERTSON,-JONES, Aka., RACIAL

MLATTLES." His activities are being followed in connection

w~th investigation into the United Klans of America, Inc.,

Knights of the Ku Klux-Klan, of which he is North Carblina

Grand Dragon.

Since about the summer of 1963, JONES has been

occupied full time in organizing and operation UKA in North

Carolina, and is not known to have any other source of income

Since that time. To date, he has not made any full accountl~g

to the membership of monies received, either directly from I

KWaverns or as money received in the form of donations at

public rallies. In connection .with investigation of UKA,

specific inquiries are being made as to finances of the

organization, and an effort is being made to determine just

what amount JONE. receives. However, in view of the lax

bookkeeping of the various Klaverns and 'the fact that money

received at publie rallies is turned directly over to JONES

without counting by local Klansmen, it has thus far not been

possible to arrive at anything like a definite figure as to

the amount received-by JONES.

There has been nothing to show that JONES has

actually misappropriated money of UKA, and most of the

member;hlp.pcem to accept his general statement that his

::'F'Il;,S.. :-

CE 157-281

iraveling and organizing expenses are 'running at least as

high as the amount taken in. The members in general appearto'have the attitude that since JONES is working full timeon UKA business,'he is entitled to make a living from it.So long as the membership generally remains satisfied with

his leadership, general allegations concerning his receiptof money will probably not be effective.

However, it is believed that in the long run the

Sissue of money will be the most effective in attacking JONES

and disrupting the organization as a whole. Thought is being

directed towvard finding some way of having a demand for fullaccounting of funds made at the next State meeting of UKA

in North Carolina. It is not believed wise to have this.

demand originate on the floor from any of our informants.

As to his personal life, JONES lives with his wife,

who is also very active in UKA and appears very much "sold"

on the organization. He reportedly has a girl friend at

Lexington, N. C., and another at or near Rocky Mount, N. C.

Efforts are being made to determine their identities. There-

after, consideration will be given to the desirability ofeither sending anonymous communications to the wife of JONESor to selected Klansmen. Bureau authority will be soughtbefore such action is taken.

In view of the generally low standards of most

members of UKA in North Carolina, it is not believed his

rather minor arrest record, mostly for traffic violations,would be effective in bringing him into discredit with the

members. Rather, to make an issue of this would most likelyresult in resentment by most members that someone was tryingto "get" him.

His bad conduct discharge from the Navy was againfor matters which most members.would probably consider rather

trivial, and in itself is not strong enough to bring up alone.

However, consideration will be given to throwing this item in

when it can be used along with others.

2

CE 157-281

I The fact that he dropped out of school in the .

geventh grade would not discredit him with the membership,

inview again of the generally low status of education and

employment of much of the membership.

Actually, JONES has been reflected through our

investigation to be one who holds down on violent activity

K.. by UKA. To take action that would remove him from office

unless we have good assurance his succ uld not be

to best interet if JONES were remove ,

O : nti such came as we coua e.more nearly sure this could

bi be brought about, actual removal of JONES might be undesirable.

However, action that could serve to weaken JONES and the

organization as a whole is being constantly sought.

ReBulet 9-2-64, to Atlanta and other southern offices.

The following is the first three month status letter.Copies being furnished Birmingham and.Savannah for information,as they are origin in cases of the organizations mentioned-here-in.

1. Potential Counterintelligence Action

a. The Association of South Carolina Klans,Knights of the Ku Klux Klan (SV origin),is presently in a rather dormant and rel-atively inactive stage in CE territory.No opportunities for action have been fnoted, and none is contemplated at present.

b. United Klans of America, Inc., Knights ofKu Klux Klan (South Carolina), BH origin, isa relatively small organization in'CE Division.This group is presently undergoing internaldissension, particularly in the Klavern at iGaffne S. C., centerin around dissatisfactionwit

VIt is the intention ofCE for the present to let this situation developby itself, following it through informants, unlessand until some situation lending itself to inter-ve7 tion is learned. RE4 4o

CE 157-281

I c. United Klans of America, Inc., Knights of the KuKlux Klan (North Carolina), BH origin, is thelargest and most active group. At present itsactivity appears to be slowing down, and attend-ance at Klavern meetings in most localities seemsto be falling off.

(1) At Christmas time, 1964, the members of UKA in NorthCarolina presented Grand Dragon J. R. JONES with a

1963 Cadillac. The license number has been obtained, andtitle records are being checked to obtain Vehicle Identi-fication Number of this car and its title history.. There-after it is planned to inquire into how this car was paidfor. If the car is actually titled directly in the nameof JONES, it is contemplated, after time for filing 1964income tax has passed, to get Bureau authority to passinformation re the gift of the car to Internal Revenue.

It is also contemplated to get from the factory completeassembly data on this car, with a view to possible futureaction, since it is believed JONES will keep records.inthis car.

(2) At the present time, of the RaleighKlavern is promoting a group insurance policy for

members of UKA in North Carolina.- Recent information isthat this is with International Life and Accident InsuranceCompany, through the Carolina Insurance Agency which

represents. Recommendations for action in this regardwill be submitted to the Bureau by separate communication.

2. Pending Counterintelligence Action

No programs are actually presently underway, with exception ofthe following:

(1) In accordance with CE suggestion, the Bureau on.t1on onc1-9-64, furnished to eterans Administration infor-

nmtion concerning

I 'and called to their attentionthe amoun of benefts he is receiving under 100% dis-ability rating. The outcome of this will be followedwith VA, but results, if any, have not yet been learn-ed.

(2) In accordance with Bureau authority of 11-25-64,CE has furnished information on an anonymous basis

to the "Charlotte Observer" newspaper which could beused as a basis for defense in.a-threatened suit againstthe paper by Klansman PHIS ON of Greensboro, N. C.As of 12-20-64, the newspaper has not received notice ofactual filing of suit. A representative of this paperhas advised that an anonymous letter giving names ofpersons at Greensboro who could verify Klan membershipof PHIL GIBSON has been received. He states that ifactual suit is filed by GIBSON, representatives of thepaper will contact the named persons to develop informat-ion for use in defending the suit. He does not contem-plate these persons will be contacted unless suit isactually filed. He has furnished some background infor-t ation of an unfavorable nature concerning GIBSON whichhas been independently developed by the newspaper, andV, this has been included in CE file.

3. Tangible Results

1No tangible results which can be ascribed to this programhive yet been observed.

As commented above, ossible action by Veterans Adminis-Stration against will be followed.

b .rn apparent intangible result is that thus far there isSno indication the "Charlotte Observer" newspaper has beenintimidated by the threatened suit by PHIL GIBSON, and itis expectcd this paper will continue to attack Klan organi-zations where feasible.

Arequest would likew'ise be made of the State InsuranceRepresentative to obtain a complete listing of persons fsuredunder this particular policy, it being noted that according toour present information, all policyholders will be .members of UKAin North Carolina.

It is considered very likely that this group policywill be found improper under the State requirements, whichmight result in its having to be revoked. Even if this does

-.. not result, it is considered very likely that the mere fact ofinquiries being madce by a State representative willhave adisruptive effect on UKA in general, ad on the selling of thisinsurance in particular.

If Bureau authority is given Charlotte contemplatessuggesting to the State Insurance Representative that his agencycontact a representative number of the policyholders outside ofRaleigh to have them show what connection they have with the"Capital City Restoration Association," the name under which the grouppolicy appears to have been issued. It is expected that most

t. - of those outside of Raleigh will not be able to show suchconnection.

Of course, Charlotte at this time could go directlyto the International Life and Accident Insurance Company atWilmington, North Carolina, and ask for a list of individualsinsured under thic policy. However,it is believed it would bemuch better to have the State Insurance Department instituteinauticz as outlined above. That agency has wide powers of controland examinatibn over insurance companies, and contact-by thatagency would have much greater impact than a mere irnuiry by theFBIL

Foilow;in the action by the State Insurance Department,

if cor::plete information regarding policyholders is-not receivedthrough that agency, Charlotte could always go-to the insurancecompanytor this information. It will be noted that the sheetwhich is apparently submitted by each applicant containsconzidcrab.e background information.

: b Charlotte advised that a group health insurance plan has been: offered to members of the United Klans of America, Inc., Knights of. the Ku Ku:; K.nn (UKA), in North Carolina. This omoted by

;: "kicks back" to the Klan a generous portiono eac prcn_: pai f is plan has the solid backing of high Klan

officials in North Carolina as it enriches the Klan treasury. Theissuing company is International Life and Accident Insurance Companyof :.Wilmington, North Carolina.

.. Charlotte has furnished the Bureau and Birmingham, the office. of origin,ac ly of a policy made available to Charlotte by a Klan: informant.. it is noted that one sheet of the policy contains considerabl

background information on each policyholder. These policies are issued

under the natae of "Capital City Restoration Association," which-is thecover name for Raleigh Klavern #41 or UKA according to an informant.

Charlotte, as a result of some general. inquiries made of the

<-- North Carolin2. State Insurance Department at Raleigh, has ascertainedthat to be e :ible for a group policy, the individualsmust be closelyassociated generally with the same employer or in some other establishedo;';anization.

"kickback" of premiums to the UKA. They would likewise requestS to furnish a complete list of persons insured under this

particular policy, it being noted that according to information receivedon policyholders, all are members of the UKA in North Carolina. It isconsidered likely this group policy will be found improper under thestate requirements, which might result in its having to be revoked.Even if this does not result, it is considered very likely that the

fact inquiries have been made by a state representative would have adisruptive effect on the UKA in general and on the selling of this

insurance in particular. It is noted that the State Insurance DepartmentS ' has wide powers of control and examination over insurance companies.

It Bufiles do not contain any unfavorable information regarding

Agents at Raleigh,-North Carolina, who have had contact withover a period of years state he has always been re:iiia)ie

an cooperative, and there is no reason to believe he will reveal theBureau's interest. They state they are sure he can be approachedconfidentially, and that his advance promise, that he will not mention

the Bureau in connection with the matter, can be obtained before anyinformation is furnished to him.

If Bureau authority is granted, Charlotte contemplates

suggesting to the State Insurance representative that his Department

contact a representative number of the policyholders outside Raleigh,North Carolina, to have them show what connection they have with the

"Capital City Restoration Association," the name. under which the policyhas been issued. It is expected that most of those outside of Raleighwill not be able toshow such connection.

Charlotte is considerin§ the tactic of posshlyhaving copies of "The Fiery Cross , publication of n-TitedKlans of America, Inc., sent to various Klansmen at theirplaces of empiloyment or other places that might serve toembarrass or expose them.

Birmingham is requested to advise whether this " Ipublication actually sends single copies on applications (Jor regular subscription and if so to whom should the request - 4,be addressed. Also, what is the price of a subscription fora limited period. Charlotte also desires to 'know if thereis any particular way that a letter requesting copy should besent or any particular language which should be used or avoidedin requesting copies to prevent persons in charge of the publi-cation from suspecting that the order was not legitimate.Birmingham is also requested to advise whether subscriptioncopies are mailed in an open wrapper like the average copy ormailed in a closed wrapper or envelope to make the receipt ofthe publication ineffective for the purpose desired by Charlotte.

What Charlotte has in mind would be the sending ofoccasional individual letters to the publication in the nameof a particular Klansman requesting .a subscription to thepublication, and enclosing the necessary money. It is desiredto learn whether this tactic might be feasible through theabove information requested from Birmingham.

Birmingham is requested to furnish its views in thismatter, and also, whether it believes this tactic, when usedon a limited basis, might be useful to other offices.

SUBJECT: COUNTERINTELLIGENCE PROGRAMINTERNAL SECURITYDISRUPTION OF HATE GROUPS("The Fiery Cross")

Re Charlotte letter to Bureau dated 5/27/65 and Bureau

letter to Ci lTtltdated 6/9/65.

The Birmingham Office has noted.the information set

forth in referenced communications and is attempting at this-

time to obtain the necessary and desired information in this

matter. For information, "The-Fiery Cross" appears to be

published and distributed On a very irregular and intermittent

basis. Some of the copies of this Klan paper are not numbered

. as to volume, month, and specific data concerning by whom and

where published.

At the present time, Birmingham is conducting necessary

investigation to determine by whom, where and when this paper

is published. Birmingham has a partial list of subscribers

to "The Fiery Cross"; however, this list of subscribers was

for a period in 1963 and effort is .being made at this time to

get a more current list of subscribers.

At present it does not appear that the sending of

individual copies of "The Fiery Cross" to various members of

the Klan at their place of employment can be satisfactorily

handled due to the above information concerning the irregular

manner in which the paper is published. After Birmingham has

obtained the information requested in referenced Charlotte

letter, Birmingham will make same known and make further

: recommendation in regard to using such mailings as a disruptive

tactic. At present, it appears that the technique of mailing

President of the new company inquired as to the nature of the

insurance plan and was told that it was actually a Klan organization.

The President of the Life Insurance Company of Florida was very upset

about this according to nd advised that he

was going to have all policies unaer this plan canceled.

Sr made available to Charlotte the complete file

of the company regarding this policy, which included the original

npplications for insurance of approximately 300 persons to whom policies

have been issued. Charlotte has made Xerox copies of each of these

applications having indexed all names. These show the address,

biriU; :ate,, brief physical description, employment and family members

of the policyholdets.

Information has since been received through informants

that the company has actually canceled all of the above insurance

XiRoolicies.

' -'There has been no indication that Klansmep are aware or

suspect that thle YBI had anything to do with this. In addition,

wit?: this matter 1vhatsoever.

Since San Diefgo apparently has developed thedesired information as to the i.hereabouts of this woman,Charlotte would like t:o have this information put to use.It is believed tha.t It would not be.desirable for the FBI

to openly use thic; informrltion in its own name, since it isbelieved this: would tend togr ve the impression to Klansmnenthat the F,3 is " icking oniJ0. ^lS and the Klan. There isalready enouCh resentment among the public at large, let

. alone Klin members, about Federal Government interferencein the affairs of the states and.in the integration problemthat the Klan has been able to very successfully in itspublic rallies and publications exploit this attitude andthereby rain membership.

The organization in North Carolina is, at least

publicly and probably actually to a large extent, directingits ambitions toward building a large political organization.

For this reason, it is not believed the FBI should exposeitself in ,That is essentially a personal attack ong

At the same time, it is believed this information

could very well be used by the news media and this would be

the most effective means of using it..

It is reauested that the Bureau authorize Charlotte

•to furnish the inol to the resent location of the

former wife of It is

Scontemplated th,:t this -ou De one y avlng a female

employee of the Charlotte Office anonymously call the station

pretending to be a former acquaintance of this woman and givethe information of her present name and address. Such a call

wVould be completely outlined in advance to the employee and

!would be extremely brief.

If' the Bureau authorizes doing this and if after a

i reasonable period of time the information is not given

publicity, Charlotte will then consider requesting Bureau

authority to try to use the information in some other way.

ReBulet to Atlanta and other Southern offices,8/9/65, enclosing copies of proposed cartoons.

This material has been studied by several CharlotteAgents familiar with Klan activities and, in general, it isfelt that this means would not be effective in the-oharlotteDivision and particularly in-North Carolina.: rThe /nite-d,Klans of America_, Inc. (UKA) in North Carolina has beeninvolved in very few acts of violence in recent years andhas built among most of its membership an image ofrespectability.

It is believed that publication of this materialin the North Carolina areas where Klan membership is heavywould probably be more likely to cause resentment and astron" adherence to the organization.

As an example of this attitude, in March, 1965,.the President of the United States made a television publicappearance at the time of the arrest of the killers of AMrs. LIUZZO in Alabama, at which time he.said some veryscathing things about Klan organizations as a whole andurged members, in effect, to get out while the getting wasgood. A few days later a public rally in North Carolinadrew the biggest crovd of any public rally up until thattime and the attitude both by Klansmen and spectators hasbeen indicated as resentment at the remarks of the President.

It is believed that cartoons of this type wouldprobably be.more effective in areas farther in the DeepSouth wherle there actually is a current Klan image of

Re Charlotte letter, 7/2/65.

The following is a'status letter concerning captionedmatter as of 10/15/65:

I. POTENTIAL COUNTERINTELLIGENCE ACTION

As pointed out previously in relet, Charlotte isconsidering mailing copies of "The Fiery Cross," official paper

U '. of, United Klans of America, Inc., Knights of 'the Ku Klux Klan,to selected Klansmen at their places of employment for thepurpose of exposing or embarrassing them.

Also, consideration is being given to a plan to mailletters to various Klan officials relative to the'WIdowsDenevolent Fund, which is being pushed byaQtg QNES';.-$

I Drao3o6of.UKA. Inc., in North Carolina. The basic idea of thisfund is to azsess each participating member an initial $5, andthereafter participating members will be assessed $i upon thedeath of arny member of the fund and $999.95 will be paid tothe member's widow. However, there has betn some oppositionto this fund principally because of .the initial $5 fee, whichsome members feel will not be used in paying death claimsbut will be used for the benefit ofJOES, and other Klanofficials.

Also, there.has been considerable dissension withinthe Klan in North Carol4na over the handling and expenditureof' money by> and it is believed that this presents

and opportuni- o afurther cause dissension within UKA,. Inc.Recent; : a imeeting of State Klan officials, JONES wastaken to taskfor his handling of funds and he was placedon a $200 :yeek salary, plus travel expenses. -JONES-was,agitated by this action and also by the refusal of Klan leaders

po' to pay, isA. v teie $75 a week to act as his secretary.

tefatgWtrhgard to the above ideas, it-is pointediout thatthe HCUA hearitngs fow in progress concerning the Klan haveapparentlya-least to some degree and possibly temporarily,cemented 'r tihtns between JONES and other Klan officers whoare uridirsabp6en .-From information received, it: appearsthat at.thisti'e money is no longer ,the major source of.potentia dia sgreement among the members. This was evidened

tP' by the- fact hat o' 10/19/65 reported that on thepreceding da. 1O/I18/65, approxima ely $2,000 was raised fromKlansmei-ih North Carolina for the defense of Klan members whoare appeari ief ore- HCUA.

Wi th-approval of the Bureau, the Charlotte Officedesires to withhold implementation of any counterintelligenceprograms iperding outcome of the iCUA hearings. It is believedthat theseihearingsmay result in some dissension within theKlan on :ihich thisoffice may bc able to capitalize.- The

You m entioned that with Bureau approval you desireto withhold imSple:entation of techniques being considered underthe Counterintolligonce Program pending outcome of theHouse Cr-:mittc on Un-American Activities (UCUA) hearings.

. You stat'.:d it is believed those hearings may result in somedissension within the Klan on which your office may be ableto capitalize.

Shile the duration of the IICUA hearings is :notui:n at the present timn, it is possilie they may continue

for an extended period. The Bureau, realizing the degree ofcucces5 which your office has thus far achieved under theCounterintelligence Program, feels that you should not withholdadd"tion.al counterintelligence actions, but should endeavor toirmplem=nc nt tlem now.

Re Charlotte letter 10/19/65.

2 This communication shows the status of captionedmatter in the Charlotte Division as of 1/15/66.

I. POTENTTIAL COUNTERINTELLIGENCE ACTION

The Bureau was previously advised that considerationwas being given to a plan to mail letters to various Klanofficials relativ to thl widows Benevolent Fund which fundis being pushed " of UKA, Inc., in

. .Tlorth Carolina.

SThe progress of the Klan in implementing the Widows: Benevolent Fund bas been closely followed, and at the present

time there is an insufficient number of Klansmen interested

.in the fund to place this program in effect.

From information received it is believed that "i,

will not be able to obtain enough interested Klansmen in the

future to make the fund operable. Therefore, no action is

...' being recommended at this time in an effort to hinder this

Klan program. 'This matter will be followed closely, and if

Sit appears that action is necessary to hinder this program or

-to prevent it from being implemented, appropriate recommendations

will be made.

SThere continues to be considerable opposition'to '-.th manner inwhich J.ES is handling Klan f ds hdL

he has been challenged by other Klan leaders in the state withregard to the accountability of funds. 'MNES has been forcedinto agreeing to obtain a state office of the Klan and hiringa full-time secretary. He has named tfrom Lexington,N.

This program is not being pushed further at thistime for the following reason: Information has been furnishedby informants indicating that some of the membership are*becoming so dissatisfied with' M over his accounting formoney that they are considering joining the National Knightsof the Ku lux Klan (NKKKK). Insofa as the Charlotte Officeis concerned, this is not a desirable trend. At the presenttime the NKI for all intents and purposes is a paper organi-zation with only one known klavern of 12 members. Theactivities of the mass of Klansmen in North Carolina can bestbe followed through coverage in the UKA, Inc.

This matter is being followed closely, and everyopportunity to disrupt the Klan will be seized upon.

Undoubtedly, JONES has obtained previous permitsto buy pistols, which is the onily thing that is requiredto obtain a pistol in North Carolina, and it is normally aroutine procedure. The only possibility of getting JO M "

authority to do business or conduct activities in theStata of North Carolina. The Secretary of State submitteda letter to the headquarters of the UKA in Alabamaoutlining the requirements for a foreign corporation. Asof 5/31/65, UKA headquarters had not responded to thatunotification. The article infers that the main issue involvedis whether or not the Alabama corporation, in this instance,the UKA, is actually conducting business in the State ofNorth Carolina. The article alleges that in the past at least

'% two other Klan organizations, both Georgia corporations,domI-ticated in North Carolina, passed out of existence, afterhaving failed to file required revenue reports and were placedon the North Carolina list of suspended corporations for afive-year period.

To be catablished is the contention.that the UKAdraws its strength as a non-profit corporation from the .existing charter granted to the UKA in Fulton County.J'uperior Court by the State of Georgia which describes thatorganizat.on as fraternal, eleemosynary, social and charitable.Thic chrtor also specifically grants the UKA the right toimpo::. its corporation on other states.

This communication sets forth the status ofcaptioned matter in the Charlotte Division as of 4/15/66.

I. POTENTIAL COUNTERINTELLIGENCE ACTION

Referenced letter to Bureau advised that considera-tion had been given to possible disruptive action in connectionwith the Widows Penevolent Fund, an insurance program beingpushed by J. RUOrJNES, Grand Dragon of United Klans ofAmerica, Inc., Knights of the Ku Klux Klan (UKA) in NorthCarolina in the event JONES was able to make this Fund opera-

,tive. /

* Since submission of referenced letter, this Fundhas been put into effect by the Klan inasmuch as JONES wasable to interest 1,000 Klansmen in joining. Information hasbeen received that 2 or 3 Klansmen who were members of theFund have died and that JONES has paid the surviving widow ofeach $999.95 as agreed.

It is believed that in the future it will be possibleto take some type of counterintelligence action against JONESin connection with his administration of the money collectedfor this Fund. For example, as it is presently understood, the

. beneficiaries are entitled to receive the $999.95 only if theKlan member who is a member of this Fund was a paid up memberin good standing at the time of his death. It can be foreseen

' that there will be questions raised about the good standingof some of the members who may die and it is more than likelythat JONF. will renege or will attempt to renege on some of "

'" his obligations in this connection,

When information of this nature is received frominformants indicating that JONES is not living upto This' ;.obligations under this Fund, it is believed that some typeof letter can be mailed to Klan members throughout :thect:;: .state pointing out JONES' deficiencies. It is thought thatthis will have a great effect on the membership:as a;wholeand on the participating members of the Fund specifically.

However, until such time as this type of information.is received, no effective program can be undertaken:to discreditJONES. . . :

As the Charlotte Office has pointed out previouslyin referenced letter and other letters under this;caption,.--there continues to be a great deal of opposition to the :mannerin which J. R. JONES is handling Klan finances. This presentsa good opportunity to discredit JONES and to disrupt the Klanin North Carolina. Every effort will be expended to seizeon opportunities as they present themselves in this regardand a program has already been negotiated through informantsas discussed in the following section of this letter. -

II. PENDING COUNTERINTELLIGENCE ACTION

to talk out against JONES' failure to account for funds andhis failure to carry out the mandate of Klan leaders of thestate in setting up an office and utilizing the services of.afull tine secretary.

In connection with the attempts to discredit JONES,1by letter dated 3/11/66, captioned, "Counterintelligence/ Program, Internal Security, Disruption of Hate"Groups l ,(Granite Quarry Chain Letter) the Bureau furnished. Charlottea chain letter with instructions that this letter be. mailedto the wives of 20 Klansmen who have sons in the service orwho are at odds with J. R. JONES. The Charlotte Office wasselected as the pilot office for this technique.

The chain letters were prepared as directed by theBureau and were mailed to 20 logical individuals throughoutSthe state of North Carolina. In an effort to "kill. two 'birds with one stone" some of these letters were mailed fromthe state of Virginia and some:were Railed from the state ofSouth Carolina, for the following reasons:

III. TANGIBLE RESULTS

VGince submission of referenced letter there -havei been no specific tangible results of the counterintelligence .oprogram in this office.ff

It is believed, however, that the action whichhas been initiated since submission of referenced letteris the beginning of a movement within the Klan which possibly

Swill culminate with the removal of J. R. JONES as Grand Dragonor his refoamation.

As the Bureau was advised in referenced letter onJanuary 11, 1966, JONES was arrested by the State Bureau ofInvestigation (SBI) for perjury in connection with hisdivorce in 1951 in which he falsely alleged he had beenseparated for two years.

According to an article which appeared in theSMarch-5, 1966, issue of the "Salisbury Post", a daily news-

The Bureau-approved counterintelligence technique,

: of disruptive information among Klan members in the State of

North Carolina so as todiscredit the United Klans of America,

Inc., Ku Klux Klan, and the Grand Dragon of North Carolina.

(IKA CHARTER)

ReBulet 4/8/66,

By letter dated 9/10/65, captioned, "UKA, INC.,KKKK, aka.; RM (KLAN)," the Bureau was furnished full details

concerning the issuance of .a Certificate of Authority to the

UKA by the State of North Carolina on 7/7/65. This certi-

ficate allows the UKA to operate as a foreign corporation within

North Carolina and is based on the incorporation of UKA in the

State of Georgia.

An article which appeared in the 5/5/66 issue of /

the "News and Observer,"' a daily newspaper published at

Raleigh, N. C., revealed that MALCOLM SEAWELL, Chairman of

an anti-Klan committe appointed by North Carolina Governor

DAN K. MOORE, stated he would attempt to build a case on

which the North Carolina Secretary of State THAD EURE could '

revoke the Klan's corporate character.

SEAWELL stated he would ask the Governor's Law and

Order Committee to present data to EURE which could lead

to the revocation of.the Klan's certificate to do business

Sin this state.

The article continued that SEAWELL on 4/30/66

had implied criticism of EURE by stating that the Klan.

should never have been domesticated in North Carolina.

EURE had replied that he had simply done his duty in forcing

the Klan to obtain a charter to do business in the state

' and that he had'no information on which to base any revocation.

He said he would be willing to appraise any evidence and take

actio as may be warranted.9

Raleigh, N. C., advised the North

Carolina 5tate narr which was issued to the UKA, Inc.,

KKKK, is currently the subject of much newspaper publicity.

and State consideration. Recently Mr. MALCOLM SEAWELL,

Chairman of the Governor's Board on Law and Order, has made

several public statements indicating the Secretary of State's

Office under Mr. THAD EURE should not have issued a charter

to this group since it is evident it is not a charitable organi-

zation and is a political organization.

said one of the purposes of the Law and

* Order Board is to collect information concerning the KKKK

in North Carolina and the SBI su lies fomation to that

The press releases which SEAWELL has recently made

have placed Mr. EURE in an embarrassing situation, since

he issued the charter within the legal bounds of his office

and has received no prior information indicating the KKKK

charter should be questioned or revoked. He therefore

responded to the press releases by advising the news agencies

the charter had been legally granted and inferring he did not

appreciate SEAWELL's making statements concerning the

issuance of the charter without first conferring with him

and furnishing him any information available to SEAWELL which

pertained to the charter.

Consequently, at this time the relations between

SEAWELL and the Secretary of State's Office are somewhat

strained. However, said that SEAWELL's purpose is

to have the charter revoked and any further definite plans

he may have for this are unknown to

feels that Governor MOORE is displeased

with the methods which SEAWELL has used and the effect these

methods have had on the office of the Secretary of State,

and he believes that SEAWELL will be requested to resign

from the Board in the near future.

He feels, however, that with or without SEAWELL

the State of North Carolina will continue its inquiry into

the KKKK and.the propriety of its charter, and if legally

F. permissible, the charter will be revoked.

(The above information was furnished the Bureau and

INC., KIKK; RM (KLAN)."

On 5/11/66, the issued the Raleigh "News and

' :Observer"carried an article which revealed that North

Carolina corporation laws spell out seven grounds for revoking

a corporate charter. Five of the grounds concern administrative

matters such as the filing of required data, etc. The other

". two deal with aspects such as willful misrepresentation in

theapplication and exceeding authority conferred on corpora-

tions.

CE 157-281

This article revealed that in the recent.complaintfiled in March, 1966, in Robeson County, N. C., seeking toblock the Klan from holding a'public rally at Maxton, theKlan was described as being engaged in a course of conduct

in

contravention of the principles set forth inits application

for Certificate of Authority. Among other things, the

complaint stated that the Klan advocates white supremacy,hatred of non-whites and makes inflammatory statements

against the private, public and civil rights of the citizens

of North Carolina. The complaint further stated that the Klan

is a secret, political and pari-military organization and has

engaged in acts of violence in North Carolina.

In view of the comments of concerning

the political aspirations of MALCOLM SEAWELL and in view of

the controversy between SEAWELL and EURE, it is believed

inadvisable that either SEAWELL or EURE be contacted concerning

this matter.

T"Jc r-rprwndcpe that c ontact ba made and maintained

,keeping abreast of action being taken byitke State to re

the charter of UKA. In this r ard it is requested that

authorit be granted to advise

It appears at least for the present time that the

examination of the Klan's rporate status in North Carolina

will be a continued topic f news media in the. area.

The Charlotte Office'will continue to follow

this matter closely.

SUBJECT: COUNTERINTELLIGENCE PROGRAM/-INTERNAL SECURITYDISRUPTION OF HATE GROUPS

Re Charlotte letter, 4/18/66.

This communication sets forth the status of

captioned matter in the Charlotte Division as of 7/15/66.

I. POTENTIAL COUNTERINTELLIGENCE ACTION

Previously, in Charlotte letters, 1/26/66 and

4/18/66, the Bureau was advised that consideiation was

being given to possible disruptive action in connection

with the Widows Benevolent Fund, an insurance program of

the Klan which was put into effect 2/1/66.

To date, information has been received that

approximately seven Klansmen who were members of this /Fund have died and in all instances the beneficiaries, ...-,

: have beeni paid $1,000 by JONES. "Recently, J.3 A'dES,Grand Dragon, has sent out letters to all Klansmen in

which it was indicated that payments into the Fund were

not made by member3 of the Fund the beneficiaries could

* ~ not be paid off.

It is believed that in the future JONES will

encounter financial problems in connection with this Fund

when he is called upon to pay a beneficiary $1,000 anddoes not have funds to cover this: amount. Also, it is

anticipated there will be problems which arise inconnection with whether a member of the Fund was paidup at the time of his death. It is believed that shouldJONES renege in paying the beneficiary for any reasonthat this will be an excellent basis for counterintelligenceaction.

When information of this nature is receivedindicating that JONES is not living up to his obligations,the Charlotte Office will recommend action to be taken.

The Bureau is fully aware of the potentialcounterintelligence action being undertaken by theCharlotte OfIice with regard to the removal of J. R. JONESas Grand Dragon. This objective has not been achieved todate but efforts are continuing. Also, in this regard,effcrts are being made to cause the arrest of JONES onlocal charges of F&A or similar charge in'connection withhis illicit relationship with a girl friend in Raleigh,N. C. These programs will be discussed more fully in thenext section of this letter.

II. PENDING COUNTERINTELLIGENCE ACTION

A. UKA Charter

By letter dated 4/8/66, the Bureau instructedthat Charlotte through established sources determine the

.present status of efforts being made by the State of NorthL / Carolina to examine the legality of UKA operations. TheBureau instructed that counterintelligence proposals besubmitted to insure that the State's examination of theUKA status will be a continued topic in news media in thisterritory.

By airtel dated 5/19/66, the Bureau was advised, of developments in connection with action by the State of

North Carolina relative to the Klan Charter. It was

2

CE 157-281

recommended that contact be maintained with

for the purpose of keeping abreast of State action inthis regard. This approval was granted by the Bureau byairtel dated 6/7/66.

Information concerning the most recent'decisionby the State with regard to revocation of the Klan Charterappeared in the 7/1/66 issue of the "Charlotte Observer",a. daily newspaper published at Charlotte, N. C. Thisarticle revealed that the State Law and Order Committee

S had declined to recommend that the Klan Charter be revoked.The Committee's action was based on a memorandum from theDeputy Attorney General in which it was stated that itcould not be found where the Klan had been declared unlawful.North Carolina Governor DAN K. MOORE, who heads the Committee,expressed continued interest in the activities of individualKlan members.

The Charlotte Office is continuing to followSthis situation closely, and the Bureau will be kept

advised of pertinent developments.

B. Dissemination of Literature

1. Granite Quarry Chain Letters

By letter dated 3/11/66, the Bureau instructedCharlotte to prepare and mail 20 copies of a chain letterreflecting unfavorably on the military service of J. R.'JONES. These letters were prepared in accordance withBureau instructions. Some were mailed from North Carolina,some from the Richmond territory and some from the Columbiaterritory. The purpose of having these letters mailedfrom Virginia and South Carolina was to create animositybctwoen the Grand Dragons of those states and JONES.

•Information had been received previously that

2. National Committee for Domestic

Tranquility (NCDT) Letters

By letter dated 4/20/66, the Bureau furnished

Charlotte 20 copies of a newsletter of NCDT attacking Klan

policy with instructions that these be mailed to Klan

members who might be receptive. These newsletters were

mailed by Charlotte on 4/27/66. Rather than send them to

20 individuals, it was felt that these letters would be

more effective and receive wider distribution if mailed

to Klaverns. The letters were mailed to 20 Klaverns

throughout the state using the cover name of the Klavern.

By letter dated 5/27/66, the Bureau furnished

Charlotte 50 copies of an NCDT newsletter which were mailed

on 6/2/66 to 50 Klaverns using the cover name of the Klavern.

Se advised that J. R. JONES

which had some committee's name on them. JONES said he

would like to see if it could be determined who was

putting these letters out in Charlotte.

recipient ofne o nose car s at Mount Holly, N. C.,S made the statement that he was going to work harder than

ever before for the Klan as a result of receiving this card.

_ _ reported on the receipt

of these cards y Klansaen and stated it has beenspeculated that they may have been distributed by MALCOLMSEAWELL. According to this source, JONES was planning tohave 10,000 cards as nearly identical as possible printed

and mailed at random to non-Klansmen throughout the state

-for the purpose of making the anonymous campaign backfireand make the labeling of Klansmen ineffective.

It was also reported that the receipt of these

cards by members of the Mount Holly Klavern was not

disturbing and those who received the cards were laughing

and joking about them and kidding other members as to when-they could expect their cards.

One member of the Mount Holly Klavern, who hadK. been inactive, upon receipt of the card returned to Klavern

meetings and paid up back dues and has again become active.

Soi On 6/20/63, approximately 650 Postal Cardsshowing Klansmen at a bar and raising the question as towhich'Klan leader is spending Klan money tonight were

mailed tolinon-Klansmen throughout the state.

.I C. Action to Remove J. R. JONES asGrand Dragon

adissident group vi Klan leaders met at Durham, N. C., on

t 3/27/66 for the purpose of airing grievances againstJ. R. JONES. Approximately 100 top Klansmen in the Stateof North Carolina were present. It was decided that theState Bo:;rd of UKA would meet on 4/10/66 to discuss thismatter further.

IC ~ .'"- ':)' ;i~~~. t . )? I-T; ~ 1c

"CE 157-281 .

On 5/1/66, a State Board meeting was held at

Raleigh, N. C., at which JONES was present. During the

meeting the grievances were discussed, and JONES agreed

to some of the demands made and promised to take care of

many of the other grievances reported to him. Those

present were pacified and placated.

By airtel dated 4/29/66, the Bureau instructed

that plans be made to remove JONES as Grand Dragon and to

cause the UKA in North Carolina to break with the National

" UKA.

In response, on 5/5/66, the Charlotte Office

submitted an airtel to the Bureau which included

recomendations for the following:

(1)

S(4) Mail an anonymous letter to BOB SHELTON,

Imperial Wizard, indicating that JONES was

Sattempting to become Imperial Wizard; and

(5) To pursue the illicit relationship between

JONES and a girl friend in Raleigh with a

'A,

CE 157-281

From infobrmation received from a number of

informants there are numerous Klaverns in North Carolina

which are completely disenchanted with JONES' leadership.For example, the Biscoe Klavern has discontinued keepingattendance records and monthly dues are no longer beingsent to the State office.

In the New Bern, North Carolina, area three

Klaverns have become defunct and former members have

consolidated with the members of other units as a result

of dissatisfaction over the leadership of J. R. JONES.

rer:clt. In this rerd hoev BOB SHELTON has

a R wich

BO 'o.5i aS ULoOcte to plead or unity in an attemptto stop the efforts of Klan leaders to remove J. R. JONES.

The details of this meeting have not been reported to the

Charlotte Office at this time. The Bureau will be

furnished the results, along with recommendations of the

Charlotte Office as to what action will be taken in the

future to remove J. R. JONES.

11

:37~f 42

CE 157-281

With regard to action taken by this office

to further disrupt the Klan by bringing about publicity

and/or the arrest of JONES in connection with his

activities with plomen other than his wife it has been

determined that JONES has a girl friend,

in Raleigh, N. C.

'. By Charlotte airtel dated 7/8/66, the Bureau

was requested to rnt authority for this office to

-furnish to Raleigh, N. C.,"

S- information concerning the activities of JONES in this

regard. This authority was granted by the Bureau on

7/14/66.

, 'LInformants in logical positions have been

: instructed to immediately advise this office upon receipt

of any information indicating that JONES will be in any

personal contact wit in Ralei h. U on

receipt of such information by tnis office

will be notified. It is anticipated that e arre

JONES and the attending publicity will have a disruptive

effect on the Klan in North Carolina.

III. TANGIBLE RESULTS

As the Bureau is aware, J. R. JONES was arrested

• , /11/66 by the S31 for Perjury in connection with his

4 ; V divorce in 1951, in which he falsely alleged he had been

t separated for two years.

f. On 5/31/66,Salisbury, N. C., adv that date a Grand Jury

S / in Rowan County, N. C., failed to return a true bill in

connection with the Perjury charge against J. R. JONES.[ . said the Solicitor had indicated he

wou a pyeson another bill against JONES to the next

Grand Jury in late 1966 or early 1967.

12

I~ i- : -- 6;

CE 157-281

/ Although JONES was not tried on the charge operjury, his arrest and arraignment were affo dedconsiderable publicity which, according to information

( received from informants, had a bad effect on rank and,file. Klansmen.

Although the Charlotte Office has notaccomplished the goal of removing J.-R. JONES as GrandDragon, the efforts made toward this goal have causedside effects which have resulted in the loss of membership.in certain Klaverns, has created animosity between JONESand some of the State leaders, and has generally causeddiscontentment inthe Klan throughout the state. This

Soffice does not intend to rest on the achievements madebut intends to pursue this situation further and causeadditional disruption at every opportunity in the future.

that: if the beneficiary received less than $1,000 the

As the Bureau is aware, the beneficiaries of

For your information, "The Now Crusader," aChicago, Illinois, newspaper of general circulation, inthb ist.- of 2/2y9/G4, published an article entitled"'o oscxual U. S. Nazis Follow Hitler in Sexual.Perversion."The article charged that the American Nazi Party (ANP) wasevicted from its Chicago offices due to sexual perversion.

It is believed that the South Rowan County Klavern,.orth C..olina, is yulnerable to counterintelligenceactivitios since the membership has expressed a desire towear fc:n:.1e attire. In goneral, the Klan is apparentlyproud o: its ranhood, and, if public attention is directed

. 'J to the fact that klanamen are wearing female attire and arestarting to follow the line of the ANP, then it is mostprobable that the South Rowan County Klavern might bedeactivated.

Submit to the Bureau a counterintelligenceproposal designed to ridicule the South Rowan County Klnvernalong th-e lines suggested above. You might consider placing'the gbcr& of that Klavorn on the mailing list of theMattachine Society, headquartered in San ancisco, California.

As the ureau is aware, Charlotte Division has

F ! exten~sive Ku Kl'x Klan activities involving United

,": PI.Eus cf Amerca2 c, nc, Knights of the Ku Klux Klan (UKA)

and investigat.ic : and information from informants has

determi.ed that a number of Klansmen, primarily officers

in the Kla, have citizens band radios instaled in

t.:-ir autonobi]e, and use these radios as a means of

co mun.c.at.ioL involving meetings, activities, etc.

At the pr-esent time Charlotte is experiencing

.numeroos- acts o violence involving cross burnings,auoting into residences, and dynamiting of residences

t ar.nd autcmcbiles., SQom- of these acts of violence

E involve violations of Civil Rights Act, 1964, primarily

theL p'ublic education facet, over which the FBI has

.nvesigative jurisdiction. These acts-of violence

. bave occurred prm:; rily in four of five concentrated

areas and alleg .cly attributable in most instances

to memcers of YA: however, no information received

SCharlotte is expending a high percentage of manpowerin an-effort to solve and combat these acts of violence in thoseinstances which ire-within the investigative jurisdiction of theFBI and.at the present time plans are being formulated toconcentrate investigative activities in the four or fivelocalities where a majority of these acts of violence arebeing committed in an all-out effort to solve these cases andin an effort to deter future acts of violence.

Whi:e no information has been received that individualsresponsible for these acts of violence have used citizens' bandradios for cco!nrunication in this connection, it has been determinedthat they do uise these radios as a meansof communication betweeneach other under normal circumstances in connection with rallies,Klavern meetings, etc,

It is felt that citizens' band radios utilized on aselective basis by the Charlotte Office would greatly assistAgents in their investigations and coverage of general Klanactivities and may be of considerable assistance in connectionwith Charlotte's attempt to curb and identify individualsinvolved in various acts of violence.

In the event citizens' band radios are available forfield use, the Bureau is requested to furnish Charlotte fivecitizens' band radios c.apable of mobile or stationinstallation to be used as set forth above.

\ ! Re Bureau letter to Charlotte dated 9/23/66.

I, J VBy airtels dated 8/19/66 and 8/26/66, captionedi/ United Klans of America, Inc., Knights of the Ku Klux Klan,SRacial Matters (Klan)", the Bureau was furnished information

concerning the interview oaand was advised thatit appeared that the disagreement between and Klanmembers offered potential, on a limited scale, for counter-intelligence action,

i: The activities o have continued to resultin disagreement among Klan members in the general. area ofShelby, N. C., and have caused bitterness on the part ofindividual members toward J._ B00NES, Grand Dragon. JONES Lhas not taken a strong stand .cpposing and his activitiesand for this reason the "loya' memberorKA are dissatisfieda p p

It would appear at this time that any maneuveringon the part of the Bureau in this matter on other than alimited scale could jeopardize the present situation which (is favorable. No action which could be taken would cause Lmore disagreement than already exists; however, it is believdd *that limited counterintelligence action could help in

" continuing the disagreement.

SAC, CHARLOTTE (157-281)

"BJECT: COUNTERINTELLIGENCE PROGRAMINTERNAL SECURITYDISRUPTION OF HATE GROUPS

Re Charlotte letter, 7/19/66.

This communication sets forth the status ofcaptioned matter in the Charlotte Division as of 10/15/66.

I. POTENTIAL COUNTERINTELLIGENCE ACTION

A.

The Bureau has been advised previously that theCharlotte Office is alert to derowin out ofthe current activities of

i of United Klans of America, Inc., Knights o te KuKlu: Klan (UKA), in North_Carolina, who was banished fromthe Klan following a trial in June, R Reportedly,after was banished, he set up two klaverns, one atShelby, , and one at Rutherfordton N. C. and claimedthey were chartered i-

IV . in South Carolina. This has caused considerable agitationV among Klan members in the area who have threatened tosuspend payment of funds to the state and-national officesuntil status is fully resolved. In addition, thissit"ation las caused disagreement between

and BOB SHELTON.

The above information was furnished the Bureau-in -/Charlotte airtels dated 8/12/66, 8/19/66, and 8/26/66.

fBy letter dated 9/23/66, the Bureau requestedthat this office give strong consideration to a counter-intelligence proposal designed to disrupt activities.

CE 157-281

The Bureau was advised, in substance, by airtel10/7/66 that the present situation is such that anymaneuvering on the part of the Bureau on other than alimited scale could jeopardize the climate now favorableto the Bureau. It was pointed out that it is the feelingof the Charlotte Office that no action which could betaken would cause more disagreement than already exists.It was ronosed that some of the literature being passedout by group bearing the name of UKA in SouthCarolina be reproduced for the purpose of anonymous mailingto JONES and SHELTONT This matter is still underconsideration by the Bureau.

The Charlotte.Office p sto continue to followclosely the situation involving and recommendappropriate action.

B. WIDOWS BENEVOLENT FUND (WBF)

In referenced letter and subsequent communications,the Bureau was advised-that the WBF, an insurance programset up by J. R. JONES beginning 2/1/66, offered somepotential for counterintelligence action. It was believedthat sooner or later JONES would mishandle funds collectedunder this program or would fail to pay one of thebeneficiaries, which would result in considerable agitationamong Klan.members who have joined this -insurance program.

By airtel dated 9/19/66, the Bureau requestedinformation as to whether this insurance program is beingadministered in accordance with existing state insurance-laws and by airtel dated 10/6/66, the Bureau authorizedcontact with the Insurance Commission at Raleigh, N. C., forthe purpose of discussing this matter.

It is anticipated that contact will be made witha.representative of the. State Insurance Commission in thenear future for this purpose.

C. NATIONAL KLONVOCATION

By letter dated 9/27/66, the Bureau advised thatthe Birmingham Office had suggested that an attempt be madeto force UKA to hold a national klonvocation. It wasstated that the Birmingham Office believes that thequestion may be raised through informants and the suggestiontransmitted to the membership that BOB SHELTON is afraid tohold a national convention inasmuch as he fears he would notbe retained in office.

The Charlotte Office has given careful considerationto this proposal and its views are being furnished the Bureauand Birmingham by separate communication.

, D. SOUTH ROWAN KLAVERN

By letter dated 9/29/66, the Bureau pointed outthat information had been received concerning members ofthe South Rowan Klavern of UKA discussing the possibilityof some of its mcmbers donning female attire for thepurpose of enticing NIegroes to take action against them.The Bureau proposed that some counterintelligence action beconsidered in connection with the transvestite tendenciesof the Klan members.

Consideration has been given to the Bureau'sproposal and the views of the CharlQtte Office have beenfurnished the Bureau by separate communication.

E. CITIZEN BAND RADIOS

Information has been received in the past that anumber of Klan members in North Carolina own and operatecitizen band radios and that these radios are used inconnection with Klan activity. It has been reported thatthese radios are used informally by Klan members in giving

. directions to other members on how to reach meeting placesand public rallies.

- It is known that walkie-talkies are employed oncitizen band frequencies at rally sites for the purpose of

CE 157-281

controlling crowds and directing members of the Klansecurity guard. The full extend of the Klan's use ofthese radios is not known; however, it is possible thatthey are used for other purposes, some of which mayinvolvelaw violations, such as cross burnings, etc.

The Charlotte Office is exploring this situationand by separate communication is requesting the Bureau tofurnish this office five citizen band radios for thepurpose of monitoring Klan conversations in various areas.

II. PENDING COUNTERINTELLIGENCE ACTION

A. J. R. JONES

Considerable information has been furnished theBureau previously relative to girl friends of J. R. JONES,Grand Dragon. It has been determined that

Raleigh, N. C., is a girl friend of ane or s lave been and areting made to develop informationwhich can be turned over to the North Carolina State Bureauof In.- ion which will result in the arrest of JONESwith

In this connection, it will be extremely difficultto cause the arrest of JONES inasmuch as he has made thestatement that he never takes to his motel andhe does not go to residence but m ets her tthe apartment of the girl friend ofwho lives in Raleigh. At the present time JONES is inRaleigh for the entire week in connection with the Klanbooth at the North Carolina State Fair, and Raleigh Agentshave been alerted to this opportunity to capitalize on thesitaation.

Information has also been received that JONES hasSrend in Statesville, N. C., by the name of

Investi ation has de

CE 157-281

The investigation revealed th is

reported to be the i"1 friend of Aside- from this fact has the reputation for being an

honest woman who has not been in any trouble or caused anydisturbances in the area.

No informati n has been received placing J..R.JONES in company with

S ptt The Charlotte Office is remaining alert to the

b0,n1 potential offered by JONES's extra-marital activities, andSevery opportunity will be taken to further implement this'

counterintelligence action.

As the Bureau as been revious1 advised du

JONES with a view toward causing his removal as Grand Dragon.Although this action caused considerable agitation amongKlan members and Klan leaders, it was not successful incausing JONES's removal.

Fr

BOB SHELTON was instrumental in curtailing thisK counterintelligence action when'he strongly endorsed JONES

and set up a grievance committee. SHELTON threatened to

banish members who continued to criticize JONES'sadministration. At that time it was reported that SHELTONdid not desire to take any action against JONES or otherKlan leaders which could conceivably hurt SHELTON in

connection with his trial for contempt of Congress.

. It is believed that after SHELTON's trial is

L'.?' fully completed and after the trial of'the other Klanleaders for contempt of Congress some action may be takenwhich will result in the removal of JONES. However, atthis time it is believed that SHELTON will take no actionwhatsoever against JONES to cause his removal.

B. INTERVIEWS WITH KLANSMEN

In connection with the submission of non-prosecutivesummary reports, the Charlotte Office has established the

policy of requiring interviews with Klansmen on whom reports

5

S.-- "

[

CE 157-281

are being submitted. Informants have advised that interviewswith Klan members .cause not only the person being interviewedbut also other Klan members who hear about the interviewconsiderable alarm. It is felt that this is a worthwhileprogram which not only accomplishes some measure ofcounterintelligence action but also results in obtainingbackground information regarding Klan leaders and offers apotential for development of informants.

These interviews also tend-to keep the Klanmembers off balance and give them a subject for discussionat klavern meetings. It probably has the effect of keepingdown acts of violence inasmuch as Klan members are awarethat their identities are known to the FBI.

III. TANGIBLE RESULTS

The paramount objective of the counterintelligenceprogram is to hold down membership and disrupt the presentlyexisting organization of UKA. One of the major objectives.of the Charlotte Office in this regard has been the removalof J. R. JONES, which has not been accomplished to date.However, efforts to do so have had side effects which arebeneficial to the Bureau.

Considerable agitation has been stirred up amongthe Klan leaders and although there is no group which isnow taking a strong stand against JONES'S 'leadership,information available shows that many of the Klan leadersin North Carolina are not pleased with the way in whichJONES is handling Klan affairs. The leaders of the Klanare also dissatisfied with the administration of BOB SHELTON.

During the spring of 1966 and continuing into theearly summer, any number of klaverns were reported becomingdefunct due to lack of interest and loss of membership.With the advent of the race riots in northern cities andstatements made by STOKLEY CARMICHAEL, head of SNCC, the

* Klan inrNorth Carolina appeared to be rejuvenated.

-- On August 14, 1966, the Klan held a rally at theMunicipal Auditorium in Raleigh and made prior arrangements'for use of the aditorium. The City of Raleigh forced the

6

c.

E--- CE 157-281

Klan to admit Negroes to its rally, which also resulted inKlai members becoming highly incensed and this likewiseappeared to spur recruiting efforts.

The recent brief resurgence of the Klan has notescaped the notice or attention of the Charlotte Office.Every effort is being made to thoroughly penetrate the

* Klan and at the present time this office has over 100informants and potential 'informants. Through thesesources, efforts are being made to keep the individualklaverns off balance and disgruntled .with the state andnational leaders.

The counterintelligence program is being givencontinued and preferred-attention and every effort isbeing made to develop programs which will result in thedisruption of the Klan.
