BHELTON was questioned about the Klan'rn activities in Alabama concerning the leasing and purchasing of land surrounding land that has been purchased or leasted by the members of the Nation of Islam. SHELTON was asked whether or not the Klan's action in Alabama is an effort to confront the Nation of Islam and perhaps to push the Muslims out of Alabama. SHELTON replied that maybe it was the "niggers" who came to Alabama and obtained this land who were actually forcing the confrontation. A characterization of the Nation of Islam appears in the Appendix section of this memorandum. He also stated that if the Klan was able to get enough land that perhaps it could be placed in a Federal Land ank and could be subsidized by money from the Federal Government such as other organizations have done and are doing.
