«. . * . } Harvey H. HEWITT - sLONEL, U.S. AIR FORCE (RET.) 210 EAST GREENWAY BOULEVARD FALLS CHURCH, VIRGINIA September 14, 1963 Dear Senator Robertson: Last night (September 13) Washington tele- vision station WIOP broadcast a recording of some statements made in Baltimore by Governor Wallace of Alabama. In one statement the Governor charged that since 1947 thera had been 47 bombings in Alabama of Negro Lomes and churches but that the Federal Bureau of Investigation, which had investigated every case, had foiled to come with a single solution. The Governor intimated that these bombings had very likely been committed by persons with pro- Negro sentiments who hoped through the "liberal” press and networks to arouse hatred against white persons in Alabama who are opposed to racial inte- gration. He said that no Negroes had been killed and that personal injury and property damage had been slight. But that the integration forces, through the publicity given to the bombings, had succeeded in attracting much sympathy and money to their cause. Governor Wallace als intimated that the F.B.1. in their investigations must have found evidence of this duplicity on the part of the pro- Negro forces. He said that such evidence if any has not been brought to light because of embar- rassment it might bring to the United States Department of Justice and the Attorney General. I feel thet the charges made by Governor Walleoe are serious ones which bring into question the integrity our system of justice on the Federal level. I therefore ask that the oharges be looked into to determine their truth or falsity. Sincerely yours, HAR H. HEWITT . Honorable A. Willis Robertson, United States Senate
