TRUE COPY Mr. J. Edgar Hoover a Washington D.C. ed [LAF om * , ee Dear Mr. Hoover; Iam writing you in referrence to the bombing in Birmingham. I might be in error but I can't think this is anything but the work of Communist. You are no doubt familiar with the fact that Communism was outlawed in B'ham. about 15 years ago. A Mr. Hall was at the head of the party. I don't know if this was Gus Hall or not. But I'm of the impression it was. It was reported this Hall in B'ham went to N. Y.C. {the Headquarters) It is reported now that there is a new leader of Communistism in B'ham, This man's name is Claude C-“Williams. He is known as the director of the party. He did operate with Sedrick*Belchert of whom was deported to Russia by orders of Robt. Kennedy. They were known for the subversive activities done. This Claude C. Williams has posed in various cities as a Pres. minister, one being Denver, Colo. & then Paris, Ark. And now its the same in B'ham for him. There's no Christianity in any Communist as you know. During the F. B. I. 's investigations here on the bombings, don't you think it appropriate for this man to have an investigation too. He could easily be the man, who knows. Thanks for the good job your doing. REC M57 2 / 3 sor e855 ¢
