. . 1 Former Assistant Director

C. A. Evans by memorandum

dated July 16, 1963, to former Assistant to the Director -

A. B. Belmont reported that he, Evans, contacted Kennedy at '

his request on that date. Kennedy pointed out that in view of

. possibly communist influence in racial matters, he desired

telephone coverage of King and Clarence Benjamin Jones, •

-- Mew York attorney who had close association with King. Avans

pointed out to Kennedy that King was in constant tra

vel status

And it was, therefore, doubtful that a telephone surveillance

• at his office or home would be productive. Also Evans raised

a question as to the repercussions if it should over become

known that such a surveillance had been put on King. Kennedy

replied that this did not concern him in the least.
