- INFORMATION CONCERNING (INTERNAL SECURITY)
- Synopsis
- Information was received from an additional source that DEL MYERS was a leader of the "Minutemen" in Tucson, Arizona, in 1962-63, but that MYERS was dropped by ROBERT B. DE PUGH, National Commander of the "Minutemen", due to instability. Tucson, Arizona newspapers in June, 1965, news stories, claim a "Minutemen" cell active in Tucson area and training with firearms in Cochise County area. Lt. WILLIAM GILKINSON, head of the Tucson PD Intelligence Unit, and quoted in the newspapers as the source of the reports, advised 6/23/65 that he was misquoted in the newspapers and that he has no knowledge of any current activity of the "Minutemen" in the Tucson or Cochise County areas. DEL MYERS on 3/27/65 volunteered information to the Phoenix Office of the FBI regarding alleged communist activities in the Tucson area and he stated at that time he was a member of the "Minutemen" in 1962, but was not a member at the present time. MYERS indicated that a number had been assigned to him by the "Minutemen" but he could not recall. MYERS further related that the "Minutemen" organization is non-existent in Tucson at the present time. Other investigation also indicates subject organization no longer in existence or known to be operating in Arizona.

AT TUCSON, ARIZONA
[Handwritten notation above the text: 65 39 [illegible]] [Marginal notations: OTHER 4, twice] [Handwritten marginal notation, partly illegible]
On March 24, 1965, [redacted], 6020 North 21st Avenue, Phoenix, Arizona, a self-admitted member of the "Minutemen", 1962-64, and Arizona State Coordinator of the "Minutemen", 1963-64, advised that he had been given the name of DEL MYERS as the man to contact in Arizona with regard to the "Minutemen". [redacted] advised that DEL MYERS had the number of 13056 in the "Minutemen" organization. [redacted] had corresponded with DEL MYERS at Tucson, Arizona, in November of 1962 up until early 1963 when due to differences between them, he no longer heard from MYERS. [redacted] was subsequently advised by ROBERT DE PUGH, Norborne, Missouri, in September, 1963, that MYERS had been dropped due to instability and that he was becoming active in the American Veterans Against Communism.
[redacted] was of the opinion that the break of DEL MYERS with the "Minutemen" was a real sincere one and no doubt was due to the difference in personalities between MYERS and DE PUTH.
On March 27, 1965, DEL MYERS appeared in the Tucson Resident Agency and turned over material which he stated related to communist sympathizers and supporters in the Tucson, Arizona area. He made available a copy of the Congressional Record of August 20, 1964, which set forth a telegram to Senator WAYNE MORSE, which telegram supported cessation of the Viet Nam War and which was signed by approximately 60 Tucson, Arizona persons. MYERS also made available an alleged report of the organizational meeting of the Tucson Chapter of CORE of April 10, 1964, at which meeting MYERS claimed he had a source of his in attendance. MYERS also made available for study 3 x 5 cards on which was information concerning Tucson individuals described by MYERS as communist sympathizers.
During the foregoing contact, MYERS orally admitted that he was a member of the "Minutemen" in 1962 but had dropped out, become interested in the American Veterans Against Communism, a California organization, and that he was not a member of the "Minutemen" at the present time. He further admitted that he had a number assigned to him but that he could not
