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Since this organization is no longer active or in existence, it
is sugcges ed it be deleted from this list.

Since the major organization in Charlotte Division

is the United Klans of America, Inc., of which Birmingham is
origin, a copy of this letter is being designated to Birmingham
for information.

The following represents the consensus of Charlotte

Agcnts faniliar with Klan activity:

I. Disruptive activity should not be undertaken at

a particular Klvern, as a general rule, unless there is
suff 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 "Charlotte
Observer, " which has wide distribution throughout North and
South Carolina, pulished in August and September, 1964, a series
of 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 photos
and names of a number of members. So far as has been'learned
from informants, this had very-little adverse effect upon the
organization. It was alleged that two to five members were
discharged 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 informant
reported that the day after the articles published his name as
a local leader, three persons contacted him and applied for
membership, stating they had not previously known whom to contact.

It is considered that puDrerCfTYof this-type generally

deters from joining only those persons who would not be
interested in joining in the first place. It is believed that
a large proportion of those persons who are potential members
are seeking status and recognition, and publicity is no deterrent
to them; it makes them feel important and members of an important
group.

The major apparent effect of the series of newspaper

articles referred to has been a tightening up of security, and
refusal of leaders to allow newspaper photos of individual.
Klansmen to be taken at public rallies.

3. Disruptive activity, whetever possible, should be of

a nature which does not expose the fact that the Bureau, or the
"Federal Government", is behind the activity. It is believed
that open action, to a large extent, can backfire and create
resentment and sympathy. It must be remembered that Klan
Smembership, in many sections, does not by any means carry the
odium that alleged Communist membership or sympathy does in
almost any section of society.

4f Along this same line, there is probably no point in

trying disruptive activity, at least not at this stage, on a
lodal 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 Bureau

a 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 and
there is apparently considerable demand for it. Since it is
not 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 become
widely adopted and worn, consideration should then bel*given to
giving 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, but
nothing 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 employer

telling 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 of
making 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.

disabled veteran. At the same time he operates
and is active in United Klans of America, ,making -

those reports to the Bureau, with the suggestion furnishing
them to VA be considered.

It is suggested consideratibn be given to asking the

VA to re-evaluate his disability rating, in view of his employment
and activities. It-is believed th should be done on a SOG
level, to reduce the possibility o learning that such-'
, a suggestion came from the FBI.

9. "Action Groups." No particular such groups, given

to violence, are known within Klan organizations in Charlotte
territory. As the Bureau is aware, United Klans of America has
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
:
"spies," etc. It is expected that if violence is undertaken, '
these will probably be the ones to do it, but no such under-
takings have been learned.

Specific individual recommendations for counter--

"Charlotte O'berver" publislhed a series of articles authored by
reporters exposing and critical of

erroneously identified to the reporters by an Antifamation-League
informant a- one Phil-Gibson, a UKA member. Gibson is now threatening
to institute suit against the "Observer" for the misidentification
and is demanding a retraction be published. Such a retraction would
protect the "Observer" from unitive damages but would not preclude
a suit for civil damages. believes he can force
Gibson to drop the suit if interview local Klansmen who

To prevent Gibson from winning the civil suit or

Re BureaU letter to Charlotte, 10/1/64, captioned
as above.

Considerable background information conerning

JONES is set out in Charlotte report of.SA
Aka., RACIAL
12/12/63, entitled "JAMES ROBERTSON,-JONES,
MLATTLES." His activities are being followed in connection
w~th investigation into the United Klans of America, Inc.,
Carblina
Knights of the Ku Klux-Klan, of which he is North
Grand Dragon.
Since about the summer of 1963, JONES has been

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

at
KWaverns or as money received in the form of donations
of UKA,

to finances of the
specific inquiries are being made as
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

without counting by local Klansmen, it has thus
a definite figure as to
possible to arrive at anything like

iraveling and organizing expenses are 'running at least as

high as the amount taken in. The members in general appear
to'have the attitude that since JONES is working full time
on 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 receipt
of 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 full
accounting 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 C.
Lexington, N. C., and another at or near Rocky Mount, N.
Efforts are being made to determine their identities. There-
after, consideration will be given to the desirability of
either sending anonymous communications to the wife of JONES
or to selected Klansmen. Bureau authority will be sought
before 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 likely
result in resentment by most members that someone was trying
to "get" him.
His bad conduct discharge from the Navy was again
rather

trivial, and in itself is not strong enough to item in
However, consideration will be given to throwing this
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 intere
t 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.

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 f
noted, and none is contemplated at present.

b. United Klans of America, Inc., Knights of

Ku Klux Klan (South Carolina), BH origin, is
a relatively small organization in'CE Division.
This group is presently undergoing internal
dissension, particularly in the Klavern at i
Gaffne S. C., centerin around dissatisfaction
wit

VIt is the intention of

CE for the present to let this situation develop
by itself, following it through informants, unless
and until some situation lending itself to inter-
ve tion is learned. RE44o

I c. United Klans of America, Inc., Knights of the Ku

Klux Klan (North Carolina), BH origin, is the
largest and most active group. At present its
activity appears to be slowing down, and attend-
ance at Klavern meetings in most localities seems
to be falling off.

(1) At Christmas time, 1964, the members of UKA in North

Carolina presented Grand Dragon J. R. JONES with a
1963 Cadillac. The license number has been obtained, and
title 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 paid
for. If the car is actually titled directly in the name
of JONES, it is contemplated, after time for filing 1964
income tax has passed, to get Bureau authority to pass
information re the gift of the car to Internal Revenue.

It is also contemplated to get from the factory complete

assembly data on this car, with a view to possible future
action, since it is believed JONES will keep records.in
this car.

(2) At the present time, of the Raleigh

Klavern is promoting a group insurance policy for
members of UKA in North Carolina.- Recent information is
that this is with International Life and Accident Insurance
Company, through the Carolina Insurance Agency which
represents. Recommendations for action in this regard
will be submitted to the Bureau by separate communication.

2. Pending Counterintelligence Action

No programs are actually presently underway, with exception of

the following:

(1) In accordance with CE suggestion, the Bureau on.

t1on onc1-9-64, furnished to eterans Administration infor-
nmtion concerning

the amoun of benefts he is receiving under 100% dis-
ability rating. The outcome of this will be followed
with 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 be
used as a basis for defense in.a-threatened suit against
the paper by Klansman PHIS ON of Greensboro, N. C.
As of 12-20-64, the newspaper has not received notice
of
actual filing of suit. A representative of this
paper
has advised that an anonymous letter giving names of
persons at Greensboro who could verify Klan membership
of PHIL GIBSON has been received. He states that if
actual suit is filed by GIBSON, representatives
of the
paper 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 is
actually filed. He has furnished some background
infor-
tation of an unfavorable nature concerning GIBSON which
has been independently developed by the newspaper, and
V, this has been included in CE file.

3. Tangible Results

1No tangible results which can be ascribed to this program

hive yet been observed.

As commented above, ossible action by Veterans Adminis-

Stration against will be followed.
b .rnapparent intangible result is that thus far there is
Sno indication the "Charlotte Observer" newspaper has been
intimidated by the threatened suit by PHIL GIBSON,
and it
is expectcd this paper will continue to attack Klan organi-
zations where feasible.

legitimate group policy, meeting the State Law requirements. Authorit
is also requested to advise the State representative orally.
of th allegations re "kickback." of premiums of the UKA. A
request would likew'ise be made of the State Insurance
Representative to obtain a complete listing of persons fsured
under this particular policy, it being noted that according to
our present information, all policyholders will be .members of UKA
in North Carolina.

It is considered very likely that this group policy

will be found improper under the State requirements, which
might result in its having to be revoked. Even if this does
-.. not result, it is considered very likely that the mere fact of
inquiries being madce by a State representative willhave a
disruptive effect on UKA in general, ad on the selling of this
insurance in particular.
If Bureau authority is given Charlotte contemplates
suggesting to the State Insurance Representative that his agency
contact a representative number of the policyholders outside of
Raleigh to have them show what connection they have with the
"Capital City Restoration Association," the name under which the group
policy appears to have been issued. It is expected that most
t.
- of those outside of Raleigh will not be able to show such
connection.

Of course, Charlotte at this time could go directly

to the International Life and Accident Insurance Company at
Wilmington, North Carolina, and ask for a list of individuals
insured under thic policy. However,it is believed it would be
much better to have the State Insurance Department institute
inauticz as outlined above. That agency has wide powers of control
and examinatibn over insurance companies, and contact-by that
agency would have much greater impact than a mere irnuiry by the
FBIL
Foilow;in the action by the State Insurance Department,
if cor::plete information regarding policyholders is-not received
through that agency, Charlotte could always go-to the insurance
companytor this information. It will be noted that the sheet
which is apparently submitted by each applicant contains
conzidcrab.e background information.

2. PENDING COUNTERINTELLIGENCE ACTION

a. By letter of 2/25/65, Charlotte furnished the Bureau

information concerning the group health insurance
program instituted by UKA in North Carolina, and
requested authority to furnish information about it
to the North Carolina State Insurance Department.
This matter is still pending.

f plan has the solid backing of high Klan
officials in North Carolina as it enriches the Klan treasury. The
issuing company is International Life and Accident Insurance Company
of :.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 the
cover 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 ascertained
that to be e :ible for a group policy, the individualsmust be closely
associated generally with the same employer or in some other established
o;';anization.

"kickback" of premiums to the UKA. They would likewise request

S to furnish a complete list of persons insured under this
particular policy, it being noted that according to information received
on policyholders, all are members of the UKA in North Carolina. It is
considered likely this group policy will be found improper under the
state 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 a
disruptive effect on the UKA in general and on the selling of this
insurance in particular. It is noted that the State Insurance Department
S' 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 with

over a period of years state he has always been re:iiia)ie
an cooperative, and there is no reason to believe he will reveal the
Bureau's interest. They state they are sure he can be approached
confidentially, and that his advance promise, that he will not mention
the Bureau in connection with the matter, can be obtained before any
information 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 policy
has been issued. It is expected that most of those outside of Raleigh
will not be able toshow such connection.

is any particular way that a letter requesting copy should be
sent or any particular language which should be used or avoided
in 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 subscription
copies are mailed in an open wrapper like the average copy or
mailed in a closed wrapper or envelope to make the receipt of
the publication ineffective for the purpose desired by Charlotte.
What Charlotte has in mind would be the sending of
occasional individual letters to the publication in the name
of a particular Klansman requesting .a subscription to the
publication, and enclosing the necessary money. It is desired
to learn whether this tactic might be feasible through the
above information requested from Birmingham.
Birmingham is requested to furnish its views in this
matter, and also, whether it believes this tactic, when used
on a limited basis, might be useful to other offices.

3. TANGIBLE RESULTS -...... --

By letter of February 25, 1965, Charlotte requested

Bureau authority to furnish to North Carolina State Insurance
Comiission information concerning the UKA health and accident
insurance program:, bein- sponsored in North Carolina. By-
co-.lnllun.icacion o1f / 13/ 5 the Bureau furnished this authorization
annd :,-,s m.a, called to the attention of
:ontacted the Charlotte
ffce and furnifl;ed results of investigation to that
Stie. He said the had determined that the issuing company,
International Life and Accident Insurance Company, had
bc: n recently bou:i.'ht out by theLife Insurance Company of
ci I4 an..,
1a, Florid. When tarted making
inquiries about this group plan, the& re~ ent of the new
company in uirc. as to the nature of the insured group, and
rwas told that it was actually a Iaan organization. The
President of the Life Insurance Company of Florida was very
upset about this and said he was going to have the policy
cancelled.

o:lade available to Charlotte the complete

file of !he co:uany rcgarding this policy, which included
the oririnal applications for insurance of approximately
.300 perons to ihom p olicies had been issued. Charlotte
made a Xerox copy of each of these applications and is keeping
themn, ihavin in cred all the names. These show the address,
birth date, brief physical description, employment, and family
riembers of the policy holders.

S Since that ti.,e, information has been received

throu:l inform.ants that the company actually has cancelled
the insurance policy.-

S........ ....... . ...... . . .. ".t

 9O

eCE 157-281

There has been no .indication that Klansmen are

aware or suspect that the FBI had anything to do with this.
In addition, the informants state that the members who
ihad this insurance are anr about its being cancelled,
and it anpears that the Klan
*: official who actual.y instigated this progran and sold the
n / insurance policies, is definitely in bad favor with the
, mie:aibers and aoparently.also itnh the top officials of
LTUKA as a result of this fiasco.
It does appear that Charlotte has been able
to achi eve at least as much as was hoped for. when this
project was recommended: The obtaining of the list of
S. names, the termi natio of the prora an7aa.erirt te
Sr:m6:ioerrsli thi downrading of rho has been an

This material has been studied by several Charlotte
Agents familiar with Klan activities and, in general, it is
felt that this means would not be effective in the-oharlotte
Division and particularly in-North Carolina.: rThe /nite-d
,Klans of America_,Inc. (UKA) in North Carolina has been
involved in very few acts of violence in recent years and
has built among most of its membership an image of
respectability.
It is believed that publication of this material
in the North Carolina areas where Klan membership is heavy
would probably be more likely to cause resentment and a
stron" adherence to the organization.
As an example of this attitude, in March, 1965,
.the President of the United States made a television public
appearance at the time of the arrest of the killers of A
Mrs. LIUZZO in Alabama, at which time he.said some very
scathing things about Klan organizations as a whole and
urged members, in effect, to get out while the getting was
good. A few days later a public rally in North Carolina
drew the biggest crovd of any public rally up until that
time and the attitude both by Klansmen and spectators has
been indicated as resentment at the remarks of the President.
It is believed that cartoons of this type would
probably be.more effective in areas farther in the Deep
South wherle there actually is a current Klan image of

Re Charlotte letter, 7/2/65.

The following is a'status letter concerning captioned

matter as of 10/15/65:
I. POTENTIAL COUNTERINTELLIGENCE ACTION
As pointed out previously in relet, Charlotte is
considering 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 the
purpose of exposing or embarrassing them.

Also, consideration is being given to a plan to mail

letters to various Klan officials relative to the'WIdows
Denevolent Fund, which is being pushed byaQtg QNES';.-$
I Drao3o6of.UKA. Inc., in North Carolina. The basic idea of this
fund is to azsess each participating member an initial $5, and
thereafter participating members will be assessed $i upon the
death of arny member of the fund and $999.95 will be paid to
the member's widow. However, there has betn some opposition
to this fund principally because of .the initial $5 fee, which
some members feel will not be used in paying death claims
but will be used for the benefit ofJOES,and other Klan
officials.

Also, there.has been considerable dissension within

the Klan in North Carol4na over the handling and expenditure
of' money by> and it is believed that this presents

and opportuni- afurther

Recent; : a imeeting of State Klan officials, JONES was
taken to taskfor his handling of funds and he was placed
on a $200 :yeek salary, plus travel expenses. -JONES-was,
agitated by this action and also by the refusal of Klan leaders
to pay, isA.
po' v teie $75 a week to act as his secretary.
tefatgWtrhgard to the above ideas, it-is pointediout that
the HCUA hearitngs fow in progress concerning the Klan have
apparentlya-least to some degree and possibly temporarily,
cemented 'r tihtns between JONES and other Klan officers who
are uridirsabp6en .-From information received, it: appears
that at.thisti'e money is no longer ,the major source of.
potentiadia sgreement among the members. This was evidened
tP' by the- fact hat o' 10/19/65 reported that on the
preceding da. 1O/I18/65, approxima ely $2,000 was raised from
Klansmei-ih North Carolina for the defense of Klan members who
are appeari ief ore- HCUA.

With-approval of the Bureau, the Charlotte Office

desires to withhold implementation of any counterintelligence
programs iperding outcome of the iCUA hearings. It is believed
that theseihearingsmay result in some dissension within the
Klan on :ihich thisoffice may bc able to capitalize.- The
Sresulta~o thephearings will be followed closely and every
opportunit ,a n-htor further disrupt the Klan.

RaCElet 10/19/65.
Rolet set forth various comments regarding
potential. countcrintolligence actionand pedding counter-
int,-lligence action as it relates to this program within
your territory.
You m entioned that with Bureau approval you desire
to withhold imSple:entation of techniques being considered under
the Counterintolligonce Program pending outcome of the
House Cr-:mittc on Un-American Activities (UCUA) hearings.
. You stat'.:d it is believed those hearings may result in some
dissension within the Klan on which your office may be able
to capitalize.
Shile the duration of the IICUA hearings is :not
ui:n at the present timn, it is possilie they may continue
for an extended period. The Bureau, realizing the degree of
cucces5 which your office has thus far achieved under the
Counterintelligence Program, feels that you should not withhold
add"tion.al counterintelligence actions, but should endeavor to
nt tlem now.
irmplem=nc
Vo will undoubtedly be able to take additional
action after the hearings have been concluded.

COUNTERINTELLIGENCE PROGRAM
INTERNAL SECURITY:
DISRUPTION OF HATE GROUPS

Re Charlotte letter 10/19/65.

2 This communication shows the status of captioned

matter in the Charlotte Division as of 1/15/66.

I. POTENTTIAL COUNTERINTELLIGENCE ACTION

The Bureau was previously advised that consideration

was being given to a plan to mail letters to various Klan
officials relativ to thlwidows Benevolent Fund which fund
is 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 with
regard to the accountability of funds. 'MNES has been forced
into agreeing to obtain a state office of the Klan and hiring
a full-time secretary. He has named tfrom Lexington,
N. C., as the secretary, but to date no action has been, .
taken to obtain an office and i has not'been made'riv
to <J2 BS- . accounting for -funds.. It appears that.s0.g,
delaying making available to anyone information concerning
funds collected and disbursed by him. It is believed that this
will result in further agitation among the top leadership
and the rank and file in the Klan in North Carolina.
II. PENDING COUNTERINTELLIGENCE ACTION

This program is not being pushed further at this

time for the following reason: Information has been furnished
by informants indicating that some of the membership are
*becoming so dissatisfied with' M over his accounting for
money that they are considering joining the National Knights
of the Ku lux Klan (NKKKK). Insofa as the Charlotte Office
is concerned, this is not a desirable trend. At the present
time the NKI for all intents and purposes is a paper organi-
zation with only one known klavern of 12 members. The
activities of the mass of Klansmen in North Carolina can best
be followed through coverage in the UKA, Inc.

This matter is being followed closely, and every

opportunity to disrupt the Klan will be seized upon.

In connection withthe pistol which JOIES admitted
he carried on the front seat of his automobile and frequently
carrbs on his person when away from the car, JONES, according
to informants and other individuals, normally carries a .38
caliber snub-nose revolver in a holster which he maintains on
the front seat of his automobile, usually in plain view.

in(ividuals other than informants stating JONES usually
has a gun in the front seat of his car. There' have been
occmbion vt-ere :..$52 reportedly carries this gun on his
Y' person, such as Jublic rallies. It is to be noted that under
•Uorth Carolina :lw,a gun lying in full view on the front
seat of an automobile is not considered concealed and, further,
'that there is no permit issued to anyone under North Carolina
law which would permit a hand gun to be carried concealed on the

Undoubtedly, JONES has obtained previous permits
to buy pistols, which is the onily thing that is required
to obtain a pistol in North Carolina, and it is normally a
"
routine procedure. The only possibility of getting JO M
arrested on carrying a concealed weapon would be to have
an informant furnish information as to the exact time that
:.;
rJ-E,, has a pistol concealed on his person and, thereafter,
have a search warrant issued by a locAl magistrate and have
'JONES searched and arrested on the charge of carrying a con-
cealed weapon. Of course, this would require an affidavit
by the informant which would probably result in his disclosure,•
and it is not believed that this is feasible .or worthtwile.
. Further, it is general practice in County Court only to fine
.. i a person either 25 or $50 for carrying a concealed weapon.

-1 The above information concerning the fact that

f
.f. sometimes carries a concealed weapon could be furnished
to the State Bureau of Investigation to determine-whether they
deem it advisable to make efforts to arrest him on a charge
of carrying this concealed weapon. It is noted, however,
ithat the recent arrest of 'JONES oy the SBI on charge of per-
S. jury concerning a false date furnished in an affidavit
$ of divorce action has resulted in several editorials which
! were critical of the SBI in their tactics of harassment of

In view of the above, no action is being recom-

mended in this regard under the Counterintelligence Program
at this time. In the event information is received indicating
, that~.JON is in violation of state or local laws, considera-
i !tion
'
Bill be given to requesting Bureau authority to.disseminate
that information under this program.

You are authorized to prepare the original and 19

copies of the chain letter quoted in this communication with
appropriate misspbllings.
": The letter should be prepared on inexpensive
icommrcially purchased paper, with the use of an old, Klanotype
r typewriter. ,Mail--theso-lettersQ.theWives-t2t l1nhpens
who are kncwn to have sons itn..the U...S.. mitaryoeryriAqr whbO may
be at odds withi'Jar os:ltobtsogeon oes. The mailings should
take place from a North Carolina city, other than Granite Quarry.
The letter should bear no signature or return address.

In the event the selected Klan members continue'the

chain, it is possible that mail.contact will be made with the
j majority of the North Carolina Klan membership, with a
resultant coot of only one or two dollars for paper and postage
accruing to the Bureau,.

S.. The ch:ain letter to be utilized is as follows:

"This its a Prayer

4 and he will load the way. This prayer was sent to you for good
luc: and the good luck of all our service boys. The original
Sleotter came from Granite Quarry, N.C. You will have good luck

you will recdve it by mail. Please do not send money and do not
- keep this copy. Just mail this letter to another North Carolina
Klansman you think needs luck. God hears all the prayers, and our
Ssons need them. Already a U.S. General received $9,000..

out of the Navy becauso he did not want to serve in Korea like
our boys are doing in Vietnam. Dear friend Grady Mar laughed
when lie received the letter, he died in December past by his
own hand. A Klan mother in Raliegh said the prayer, sent it on,
and received a letter from her son who :had run away over.20 years
ago. A shoomaker in New poern did not answer and 9 days latter
a nigger moved in aoxt door to him. So please send this letter
on to a North Carolina Elansman. This must be done within 72
hours after you reecive it. Then just wait and see what happens
on the fourth day. For a bonus in good luck, you can send-coptes
of this lotter to other.Klan Folk who have been down on their
luck.

host the UICA.

authority to do business or conduct activities in the

Stata of North Carolina. The Secretary of State submitted
a letter to the headquarters of the UKA in Alabama
outlining the requirements for a foreign corporation. As
of 5/31/65, UKA headquarters had not responded to that
unotification. The article infers that the main issue involved
is whether or not the Alabama corporation, in this instance,
the UKA, is actually conducting business in the State of
North 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, after
having failed to file required revenue reports and were placed
on the North Carolina list of suspended corporations for a
five-year period.
To be catablished is the contention.that the UKA
draws 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 that
organizat.on as fraternal, eleemosynary, social and charitable.
Thic chrtor also specifically grants the UKA the right to
impo::. its corporation on other states.
A revie. of existing corporate income tax
reports
filed by -the UKa has rovealod that the UKA, considers itself
not liable. for.-payrent.:of Federal income taxes duo to the
fact that it--is a charitable organization.

Nlovoeber, 1935, issue of the "Atlanta" magazine,

San offici.l monthly publication of the Atlanta Chamber of
Commerco contain an extensive article regarding the
Z u Klux Klan and reveals, in effect, that in 1947, Governor
Ellic Arna!l the State of Georgia, demonstrated
intestinal fortitude when he ordered the Attorney General
of the State to move on the Klan. :The State of Georgia
rovoked the Klan charter on the grounds that rather than
fraternal and oleemosynary objectives, the Klan had as its
pursuits, flogging, murder, broach of peace and personal
profiteer;g for its leaders.

SAC, CHARLOTTE (157-281)

SUBJECT: ' COUNTERINTELLIGENCE PROGRAM

INTERNAL SECURITY
i DISRUPTION OF HATE GROUPS

Re Charlotte letter, 1/26/66.

This communication sets forth the status of

captioned 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 connection
with the Widows Penevolent Fund, an insurance program being
pushed by J. RUOrJNES, Grand Dragon of United Klans of
America, Inc., Knights of the Ku Klux Klan (UKA) in North
Carolina in the event JONES was able to make this Fund opera-
,tive. /
* Since submission of referenced letter, this
Fund
has been put into effect by the Klan inasmuch as JONES was
able to interest 1,000 Klansmen in joining. Information has
been received that 2 or 3 Klansmen who were members of the
Fund have died and that JONES has paid the surviving widow of
each $999.95 as agreed.

It is believed that in the future it will be possible

to take some type of counterintelligence action against JONES
in connection with his administration of the money collected
for this Fund. For example, as it is presently understood, the
. beneficiaries are entitled to receive the $999.95 only if the
Klan member who is a member of this Fund was a paid up member
in good standing at the time of his death. It can be foreseen
' that there will be questions raised about the good standing
of some of the members who may die and it is more than likely
that JONF. will renege or will attempt to renege on some of "
'" his obligations in this connection,

When information of this nature is received from

informants indicating that JONES is not living upto This';.
obligations under this Fund, it is believed that some type
of letter can be mailed to Klan members throughout :thect:;: .
state pointing out JONES' deficiencies. It is thought that
this will have a great effect on the membership:as a;whole
and 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 discredit
JONES. . .:

As the Charlotte Office has pointed out previously

in referenced letter and other letters under this;caption,.--
there continues to be a great deal of opposition to the :manner
in which J. R. JONES is handling Klan finances. This presents
a good opportunity to discredit JONES and to disrupt the Klan
in North Carolina. Every effort will be expended to seize
on opportunities as they present themselves in this regard
and a program has already been negotiated through informants
as discussed in the following section of this letter. -

II. PENDING COUNTERINTELLIGENCE ACTION

S, In referenced letter the Bureau was advised that

k informants who are in a position to do so have been instructed
to talk out against JONES' failure to account for funds and
his failure to carry out the mandate of Klan leaders of the
state in setting up an office and utilizing the services of.a
full 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. Charlotte
a chain letter with instructions that this letter be. mailed
to the wives of 20 Klansmen who have sons in the service
or
who are at odds with J. R. JONES. The Charlotte Office
was
selected as the pilot office for this technique.

The chain letters were prepared as directed by the

Bureau and were mailed to 20 logical individuals throughout
Sthe state of North Carolina. In an effort to "kill. two '
birds with one stone" some of these letters were mailed
from
the state of Virginia and some:were Railed from the state

III. TANGIBLE RESULTS

i VGince submission of referenced letter there -have

It is believed, however, that the action which

has been initiated since submission of referenced letter
is the beginning of a movement within the Klan which possibly
Swill culminate with the removal of J. R. JONES as Grand Dragon
or his refoamation.

As the Bureau was advised in referenced letter on

.1 January 11,

1966, JONES was arrested by the State Bureau of
Investigation (SBI) for perjury in connection with his
divorce in 1951 in which he falsely alleged he had been
separated for two years. d-.f-~-iI -
According to an article which appeared in the
SMarch-5, 1966, issue of the "Salisbury Post", a daily news-

SUBJECT: COUNTERINTELLIGENCE PROGRAM/-

INTERNAL SECURITY
DISRUPTION 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.3A'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 and
does not have funds to cover this: amount. Also, it is

Rn, ,,
 CE 157-281

anticipated there will be problems which arise in

connection with whether a member of the Fund was paid
up at the time of his death. It is believed that should
JONES renege in paying the beneficiary for any reason
that this will be an excellent basis for counterintelligence
action.
When information of this nature is received
indicating 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 potential

counterintelligence action being undertaken by the
Charlotte OfIice with regard to the removal of J. R. JONES
as Grand Dragon. This objective has not been achieved to
date but efforts are continuing. Also, in this regard,
effcrts are being made to cause the arrest of JONES on
local charges of F&A or similar charge in'connection with
his illicit relationship with a girl friend in Raleigh,
N. C. These programs will be discussed more fully in the
next section of this letter.

II. PENDING COUNTERINTELLIGENCE ACTION

A. UKA Charter

By letter dated 4/8/66, the Bureau instructed

that Charlotte through established sources determine the
.present status of efforts being made by the State of North
L / Carolina to examine the legality of UKA operations.
Bureau instructed that counterintelligence proposals be
The

submitted to insure that the State's examination of the

UKA status will be a continued topic in news media in this
territory.
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 in

this regard. This approval was granted by the Bureau by
airtel dated 6/7/66.

Information concerning the most recent'decision

by the State with regard to revocation of the Klan Charter
appeared in the 7/1/66 issue of the "Charlotte Observer",
a. daily newspaper published at Charlotte, N. C. This
article 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 the
Deputy Attorney General in which it was stated that it
could 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 individual
Klan members.

The Charlotte Office is continuing to follow

Sthis 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 instructed

Charlotte to prepare and mail 20 copies of a chain letter
reflecting unfavorably on the military service of J. R.
'JONES. These letters were prepared in accordance with
Bureau instructions. Some were mailed from North Carolina,
some from the Richmond territory and some from the Columbia
territory. The purpose of having these letters mailed
from Virginia and South Carolina was to create animosity
bctwoen the Grand Dragons of those states and JONES.
•Information had been received previously that

any of the recipients.

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 been
speculated that they may have been distributed by MALCOLM
SEAWELL. According to this source, JONES was planning to
have 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 backfire
and 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 had

K. 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 Cards

showing Klansmen at a bar and raising the question as to
which'Klan leader is spending Klan money tonight were
mailed tolinon-Klansmen throughout the state.

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 keeping
attendance records and monthly dues are no longer being
sent 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

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
has been
activities with plomen other than his wife it
determined that JONES has a girl friend,
in Raleigh, N. C.

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

to
was requested to rnt authority for this office
Raleigh, N. C.,"
-furnish to
S- information concerning the activities of JONES in this
the Bureau on
regard. This authority was granted by
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
in Ralei h. U on
personal contact wit office
receipt of such information by tnis
e arre
will be notified. It is anticipated that
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

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

or early 1967.

I~ i- : -- 6;

/ Although JONES was not tried on the charge o

perjury, his arrest and arraignment were affo ded
considerable publicity which, according to information
( received from informants, had a bad effect on rank and
,file. Klansmen.

Although the Charlotte Office has not

accomplished the goal of removing J.-R. JONES as Grand
Dragon, the efforts made toward this goal have caused
side effects which have resulted in the loss of membership.
in certain Klaverns, has created animosity between JONES
and some of the State leaders, and has generally caused
discontentment inthe Klan throughout the state. This
Soffice does not intend to rest on the achievements made
but intends to pursue this situation further and cause
additional disruption at every opportunity in the future.

decidc(, that klazsmcn, wearing female attire, would drive
through Negro neighborhoods in order to provoke Negroes
irto taking action against "white women."
For your information, "The Now Crusader," a
Chicago, Illinois, newspaper of general circulation, in
thb 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) was
evicted from its Chicago offices due to sexual perversion.
It is believed that the South Rowan County Klavern,
.orth C..olina, is yulnerable to counterintelligence
activitios since the membership has expressed a desire to
wear fc:n:.1e attire. In goneral, the Klan is apparently
proud o: its ranhood, and, if public attention is directed
. 'J to the fact that klanamen are wearing female attire and are
starting to follow the line of the ANP, then it is most
probable that the South Rowan County Klavern might be
deactivated.
Submit to the Bureau a counterintelligence
proposal designed to ridicule the South Rowan County Klnvern
along th-e lines suggested above. You might consider placing
'the gbcr& of that Klavorn on the mailing list of the

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

and investigat.ic : and information from informants has

At the pr-esent time Charlotte is experiencing

E involve violations of Civil Rights Act, 1964, primarily
theL p'ublic education facet, over which the FBI has

SCharlotte is expending a high percentage of manpower

in an-effort to solve and combat these acts of violence in those
instances which ire-within the investigative jurisdiction of the
FBI and.at the present time plans are being formulated to
concentrate investigative activities in the four or five
localities where a majority of these acts of violence are
being committed in an all-out effort to solve these cases and
in an effort to deter future acts of violence.

Whi:e no information has been received that individuals

responsible for these acts of violence have used citizens' band
radios for cco!nrunication in this connection, it has been determined
that they do uise these radios as a meansof communication between
each other under normal circumstances in connection with rallies,
Klavern meetings, etc,

It is felt that citizens' band radios utilized on a

selective basis by the Charlotte Office would greatly assist
Agents in their investigations and coverage of general Klan
activities and may be of considerable assistance in connection
with Charlotte's attempt to curb and identify individuals
involved in various acts of violence.

In the event citizens' band radios are available for

field use, the Bureau is requested to furnish Charlotte five
citizens' band radios c.apable of mobile or station
installation to be used as set forth above.

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

I,VBy
i/
J airtels dated 8/19/66 and 8/26/66, captioned
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 that
it appeared that the disagreement between and Klan
members offered potential, on a limited scale, for counter-
intelligence action,
i: The activities o have continued to result
in disagreement among Klan members in the general. area of
Shelby, N. C., and have caused bitterness on the part of
individual members toward J._B00NES,
has not taken a strong stand .cpposing
Grand Dragon. JONES L
and his activities
and for this reasona the
p p "loya' memberorKA are dissatisfied

It would appear at this time that any maneuvering

on the part of the Bureau in this matter on other than a
limited scale could jeopardize the present situation which (
is favorable. No action which could be taken would cause L
more disagreement than already exists; however, it is believdd *
that limited counterintelligence action could help in
" continuing the disagreement.
In this regard, on made

"BJECT: COUNTERINTELLIGENCE PROGRAM

INTERNAL SECURITY
DISRUPTION OF HATE GROUPS

Re Charlotte letter, 7/19/66.

This communication sets forth the status of

captioned matter in the Charlotte Division as of 10/15/66.

I. POTENTIAL COUNTERINTELLIGENCE ACTION

A.

The Bureau has been advised previously that the

Charlotte Office is alert to derowin out of
the current activities of
i of United Klans of America, Inc., Knights o te Ku
Klu: Klan (UKA), in North_Carolina, who was banished from
the Klan following a trial in June, R Reportedly,
after was banished, he set up two klaverns, one at
Shelby, , and one at Rutherfordton N. C. and claimed
they were chartered i-
IV . in South Carolina. This has caused considerable agitation
V among Klan members in the area who have threatened to
suspend payment of funds to the state and-national offices
until status is fully resolved. In addition, this
sit"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 requested
that this office give strong consideration to a counter-
intelligence proposal designed to disrupt activities.

 CE 157-281

The Bureau was advised, in substance, by airtel

10/7/66 that the present situation is such that any
maneuvering on the part of the Bureau on other than a
limited scale could jeopardize the climate now favorable
to the Bureau. It was pointed out that it is the feeling
of the Charlotte Office that no action which could be
taken would cause more disagreement than already exists.
It was ronosed that some of the literature being passed
out by group bearing the name of UKA in South
Carolina be reproduced for the purpose of anonymous mailing
to JONES and SHELTONT This matter is still under
consideration by the Bureau.

The Charlotte.Office p sto continue to follow

closely the situation involving and recommend
appropriate action.

B. WIDOWS BENEVOLENT FUND (WBF)

In referenced letter and subsequent communications,

the Bureau was advised-that the WBF, an insurance program
set up by J. R. JONES beginning 2/1/66, offered some
potential for counterintelligence action. It was believed
that sooner or later JONES would mishandle funds collected
under this program or would fail to pay one of the
beneficiaries, which would result in considerable agitation
among Klan.members who have joined this -insurance program.

By airtel dated 9/19/66, the Bureau requested

information as to whether this insurance program is being
administered in accordance with existing state insurance
-laws and by airtel dated 10/6/66, the Bureau authorized
contact with the Insurance Commission at Raleigh, N. C., for
the purpose of discussing this matter.

It is anticipated that contact will be made with

a.representative of the. State Insurance Commission in the
near future for this purpose.

C. NATIONAL KLONVOCATION

By letter dated 9/27/66, the Bureau advised that

the Birmingham Office had suggested that an attempt be made
to force UKA to hold a national klonvocation. It was
stated that the Birmingham Office believes that the
question may be raised through informants and the suggestion
transmitted to the membership that BOB SHELTON is afraid
to
hold a national convention inasmuch as he fears he would not
be retained in office.

The Charlotte Office has given careful consideration

to this proposal and its views are being furnished the Bureau
and Birmingham by separate communication.

, D. SOUTH ROWAN KLAVERN

By letter dated 9/29/66, the Bureau pointed out
that information had been received concerning members of
the South Rowan Klavern of UKA discussing the possibility
of some of its mcmbers donning female attire for the
purpose of enticing NIegroes to take action against them.
The Bureau proposed that some counterintelligence action
considered in connection with the transvestite tendencies be
of the Klan members.

Consideration has been given to the Bureau's

proposal and the views of the CharlQtte Office have been
furnished the Bureau by separate communication.

E. CITIZEN BAND RADIOS

Information has been received in the past that a
number of Klan members in North Carolina own and operate
citizen band radios and that these radios are used in
connection with Klan activity. It has been reported that
these radios are used informally by Klan members in giving
. directions to other members on how to reach meeting places
and public rallies.

- It is known that walkie-talkies are employed on

citizen band frequencies at rally sites for the purpose of
CE 157-281

controlling crowds and directing members of the Klan

security guard. The full extend of the Klan's use of
these radios is not known; however, it is possible that
they are used for other purposes, some of which mayinvolve
law violations, such as cross burnings, etc.

The Charlotte Office is exploring this situation

and by separate communication is requesting the Bureau to
furnish this office five citizen band radios for the
purpose of monitoring Klan conversations in various areas.

II. PENDING COUNTERINTELLIGENCE ACTION

A. J. R. JONES
Considerable information has been furnished the
Bureau previously relative to girl friends of J. R. JONES,
Grand Dragon. It has been determined that
Raleigh, N. C., is a girl friend of an
e or s lave been and areting made to develop information
which can be turned over to the North Carolina State Bureau
of In.- ion which will result in the arrest of JONES
with

In this connection, it will be extremely difficult

to cause the arrest of JONES inasmuch as he has made the
statement that he never takes to his motel and
he does not go to residence but m ets her t
the apartment of the girl friend of
who lives in Raleigh. At the present time JONES is in
Raleigh for the entire week in connection with the Klan
booth at the North Carolina State Fair, and Raleigh Agents
have been alerted to this opportunity to capitalize on the
sitaation.
Information has also been received that JONES has
Srend 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 any
disturbances 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, and
Severy 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 among
Klan members and Klan leaders, it was not successful in
causing JONES's removal.
Fr
BOB SHELTON was instrumental in curtailing this
K counterintelligence action when'he strongly endorsed JONES
and set up a grievance committee. SHELTON threatened to
banish members who continued to criticize JONES's
administration. At that time it was reported that SHELTON
did not desire to take any action against JONES or other
Klan 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 Klan
leaders for contempt of Congress some action may be taken
which will result in the removal of JONES. However, at
this time it is believed that SHELTON will take no action
whatsoever against JONES to cause his removal.

B. INTERVIEWS WITH KLANSMEN

In connection with the submission of non-prosecutive

summary reports, the Charlotte Office has established the
policy of requiring interviews with Klansmen on whom reports

S.-- "
[
 CE 157-281

are being submitted. Informants have advised that interviews

with Klan members .cause not only the person being interviewed
but also other Klan members who hear about the interview
considerable alarm. It is felt that this is a worthwhile
program which not only accomplishes some measure of
counterintelligence action but also results in obtaining
background information regarding Klan leaders and offers a
potential for development of informants.

These interviews also tend-to keep the Klan

members off balance and give them a subject for discussion
at klavern meetings. It probably has the effect of keeping
down acts of violence inasmuch as Klan members are aware
that their identities are known to the FBI.

III. TANGIBLE RESULTS

The paramount objective of the counterintelligence

program is to hold down membership and disrupt the presently
existing organization of UKA. One of the major objectives.
of the Charlotte Office in this regard has been the removal
of J. R. JONES, which has not been accomplished to date.
However, efforts to do so have had side effects which are
beneficial to the Bureau.

Considerable agitation has been stirred up among

the Klan leaders and although there is no group which is
now taking a strong stand against JONES'S 'leadership,
information available shows that many of the Klan leaders
in North Carolina are not pleased with the way in which
JONES is handling Klan affairs. The leaders of the Klan
are also dissatisfied with the administration of BOB SHELTON.
During the spring of 1966 and continuing into the
early summer, any number of klaverns were reported becoming
defunct due to lack of interest and loss of membership.
With the advent of the race riots in northern cities and
statements 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 the

Municipal Auditorium in Raleigh and made prior arrangements'
for use of the aditorium. The City of Raleigh forced the

c.
 E---157-281
CE

Klan to admit Negroes to its rally, which also resulted in

Klai members becoming highly incensed and this likewise
appeared to spur recruiting efforts.

The recent brief resurgence of the Klan has not

escaped 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 100
informants and potential 'informants. Through these
sources, efforts are being made to keep the individual
klaverns off balance and disgruntled .with the state and
national leaders.

The counterintelligence program is being given

continued and preferred-attention and every effort is
being made to develop programs which will result in the
disruption of the Klan.
