Summary:  
The documents detail an FBI investigation into a 1966 Mustang serviced at H. Beckman Chevrolet Service Station (1506 North Normandie Avenue, Los Angeles) in February 1968 under the name "GALT." The vehicle, with license plate 1-3993 and a speedometer reading of 34,185 miles, was noted for front wheel seal replacement. Payment was made in cash, and the mechanic, Albert Ballian, could not confirm the exact date or time of service. Eric S. Galt, who resided at 1535 North Serrano Avenue, Los Angeles, from November 1967 to January 1968, was under investigation. Descriptions of Galt included light brown hair, a slender build, and a southern accent. Property records indicated he rented an apartment there with cash rent payments. The FBI sought information on his activities, including interactions with the building manager, Mrs. Vera Bernhardt, and potential connections to other addresses. Additional reports mention a white 1966 Mustang with Alabama license plates found abandoned in Atlanta, Georgia, containing cardboard with names "Ginger Day" and "Anita Kazwinkel," along with newspaper scraps. Interviews with residents of 1535 North Serrano Avenue, including Robert Sorin, Jennie Morgan, Thomas Davison, Ellie Nilson, Valerie Flint, I.R. Keyner, Debbie Gold, David Gregory, and Sylvia Blank, revealed no knowledge of Galt or other individuals mentioned in the investigation. Administrative notes reference FBI procedures and declassification under Executive Order 14176. Other records include interviews with Anita Louise Katzinkel regarding her associations with GINGER NANCE, SUS (Sue Harris), and TOM FLICKED, detailing movements between Dixon, Illinois, and California, including lodging at the Palms Motel and Serrano Apartments, alleged prostitution activities, and financial transactions. A 1967 Ford Thunderbird is referenced, along with a car found in Atlanta. Witness statements from FBI FD-302 forms (January–April 1968) describe physical characteristics of Eric Galt and Thomas Flickied, including height, weight, and hair color, and mention discrepancies between composite photographs and descriptions. Locations include Los Angeles, Glendale, Hollywood, and administrative notes on document handling.
