He told\nme that he wrote for them - that he wrote for them\nunder another name. Also, al of the FBI men in the\nSan Jose Office have ordination papers, but under\nother names. This I feel that I am responsible for.\nIt's my fault to a very great degree, and I'm not\ngoing to apologize for it. But the country Canada\nis one that I really overlooked to men as an important\npart of the Universal Life Church. Now this is tied\nin with TOM BECKHAM and some \"kook\" in Ontario. I've\ngot the name and address of the man who BECKHAM\nrecently visited in Ontario in connection with his\nparticular church, the Holy Orthodox Christian Churches\nwhichi he made me a bishop of. Holy! Holy! Holy! Ha,\nha. But, BECKHAM's organization is not a valid or-\nRE: BECKIAM:\nganization in the State of California so any papers\nthat he sends me subsequently mean nothing as far as\n(Q: WHO ARE THE\nmy own activities in the State of California. BECKHAM\nTRYING TO\nand HENSLEY have never met as of three months ago. Now\n\"TRACE HIM DOWN\"\nBECKHAM is out on the West Coast at this moment sellirig\nordinations and various peoples are trying to trace him\ndo\ndown and locate BECKHAM. BECKHAM brags it seems now of (\nhis association with DAVID FERRIE, but yet he cannot\nspell FERRIE's name right. This appalls me. He spells\nFERRIE's name F E R R Y, and he said that he is not a\nhomosexuality - humm - person - he can't even use\nproper English, but , I'm not so great myself. But\nanyhow BECKHAM had a great tie with FERRIE. This is\nBECKMAN\nhow BECKHAM got into the Ministry was through FERRIE\nof\nhere in the City of New Orleans. As I related to Mr.\nFERALE\nGarrison last night, FERRIE got into the Ministry\nof the Old Catholic Church through this \"kook\" JAMES\nup in Canada somewhere. That's what FERRIE claims, But\nI have conflicting reports on that from MICHAEL ITKIN\nwho it seems that Mr. Garrison knows. MICHAEL ITKIN is\na cardinal, or bishop, or pope, anything you want to\nname. He's it. And he had currently been stirring up\ntrouble in the San Francisco-Hate Ashbury, and in the\nBerkely area Telegraph. ITKIN has his own corporate\nbody called the HOLY EVANGELICAL CATHOLIC COMMUNION\nBROTHERHOOD OF LOVE, and they - ITKIN was exposed for\nmyself in the City of San Francisco but it did no good\nbecause now it seems that ITKIN is getting from mysterious\nsources and is able to print these documents and papers\nand is growing quite fast and quite large. HENSLEY got\ninto the so-called 'draft dodging' or helping the anti-\ndrafters through myself quite innocently - maybe. Or\nmaybe I got into it quite innocently. I can't figure\nout just what. But some young men wanted to be\nstudent ministers in my church in San Francisco, which\nwas called the Universal Church of Light which was\nlocated at 465 Garic, Studio B. It's a music studio.\nMADAM ROSALIE ZARGA (Zaga?) is the Manaer. Reverand\nANGELINA MILLER and REVERAND GERTA MAYS who are both\nlisted. REV. GERTA MAYS is listed in the directories.\nREV.
