Galt had expressed in attending a bartending school (HQ 44-38861-1066). Checking the area, the Intemational School of Bartending was located and it provided Galt's graduation photograph. For the first time, agents were able to see and distribute a photo of their subject. To be sure of maximm dissemination, the photo was circulated among the news media (HQ 44-38861-967). While in Los Angeles Galt first lived at the Serrac Apartments and later at the St. Francis Hotel. Persons contacted at these locations called him a "loner" and described him as a person who kept to himself. A departure from this characterization, however, was reported by Charles Stein who, at no expense to himself, rode with Galt in the Mustang from Los Angeles to New Orleans and return. Stein explained that he and his sister Rita Stein met Galt through their cousin Marie Martin who was working as a bar maid at the Sultan Bar located in the St. Francis Hotel. Galt had mentioned to Martin that he was plarming to drive to New Orlems and she asked if he would be willing to give her cousin a ride there in order to pick up her children. He agreed, but it was Charles and not Rita who went along with Galt (HQ 44-38861-1117). Notwithstanding the information Stein provided, the investigation moved no closer to locating Galt.
