Summary  
The documents detail investigative efforts by federal agents in Louisiana between April 1965 and April 1968, focusing on dance studios, laundries, and individuals associated with specific markings or names linked to broader investigations. Agents examined textile marking machines (e.g., Thermoseal), laundry tags, and records of individuals such as ERIC STAVIO CALT, HARRY MYER, JOHN VILLAN, and others. Investigations occurred in cities including Monroe, Shreveport, New Orleans, Lafayette, Alexandria, Hammond, Slidell, and Louisiana locations like Continental Dance Studio and Unique Cleaners/Laundry. Most inquiries yielded no evidence of the specified markings or individuals being associated with targeted establishments. Some entries reference administrative actions under Executive Order 14176/14178, declassification processes, and interviews with former students, instructors, and employees of dance studios. A separate entry describes an interview with Aurora Webber in New Orleans on April 19, 1968, where she identified a photograph of Eric Starvo Galt as resembling a former Continental Dance Studio instructor but could not confirm his identity or association with the studio.
