™ Bogalusa, Jouisiana September 1, 1965 Source advised he had recent conversation with T, W. ARD who advised his nephew RICHARD ARD had attended a meeting of the Pine Unit of the Original Knights of the Ku Klux Klan (OKKKK) on the night of August 30, 1965. RICHARD. ARD told IT, W. ARD that only a few members were present for a short meeting, in which was discussed ways to persuade members to become more active. Source states he will attempt ; to determine present active membership of the Pine Unit. He states as of a few weeks ago, the.most active members of the Pine Unit consisted of those mentioned below. Source estimated that perhaps 90 per cent of the people in the rural Washington Parish area are either Klansmen or Klan sympathizers; however, the vast majority ceased being active about the time the FBI came in force into the area. He states the open active members of the Pine Unit are for the most part the lower element who have little to loose by - peing Klansmen. He states TALMADGE JENKINS, investigator for the Pine Unit, and CURT1S NOBLES are both known to him as never trusting each other and in recent months friction between them has increased. He states JENKINS some time ago learned that NOBLES had told some lies about him and when NOBLES was confronted by JENKINS, he admitted same and apologized. Source stated NOBLES and JENKINS have never trusted each other due to personal differences unknown to source. Source stated “BUTTERMILK” WILSON, who is very aetive in one of the Bogalusa units of the OKKKK recently told him that the Klan leaders in Bogalusa are responsible for getting ROBERT DE PUGH to speak at the Bogalusa rally on Labor Day, 1965, WILSON told source that the Bogalusa leaders are expected to confer with DE PUGH for assistance in the organization of a Minuteman unit for the Bogalusa area. - HY 53074 Docld:32334381 Page 4
