t was concluded that Q52 through 054 were prepared
by the writer of Q49 through Q51, submitted by Los Angeles
with a communication dated 9/25/72.

It could not be determined whether the writer of
Q49 through Q54 was involved in the preparation of the other
specimens received in this case, because of a lack of com-
paraple writing and distortion in portions of the material
received in this matter.

No watermarks, indented writing, or other features
were found on Q52 through 954 which would be of value in
determining the source of these specimens.

Portland 50 copies
Las Vegas 10 copies

The intent of this change to the artist's composite is
to more clearly show UNSUB's age and swarthy complexion,

A release of an interim composite (one that had not been VA
fully evaluated by NORJAK eyewitnesses) in the December FBI Law
Enforcement Bulletin makes it imperative that this final version
\ not be released to the news media at this time,

tof 'D.B. Cooper' | Loot.
Found by Family on Outing

. By RONALD J. OSTROW

WASHINGTON—A young Van-
couver, Wash., family on an outing
_dlong the Columbia River last Sunday
i suddenly stumbled across 12 stacks of
"moldering money—part of the §200,-

"000 that the notorious airline hijacker .

'"D. B. Cooper" made off with more
'than cight years ago, the FBI said
j Tuesday.
: With the bills now having been
"traced definitely to the Cooper loot,
30 agents from the Portland and
i Seattle FBI offices have begun an ex-
tensive search of the area for more of
the money~-and possibly for some
; sign of Cooper or, more likely, his re-
mains.
The money—"several thousand

dollars," according to one official— -

' was found in Washington about five
! miles northwest of the Interstate 5
' bridge that spans the Columbia and
» separates Washington from Oregon,
FBI agent William M. Baker told a
news conference in Portland.

Dwayne Ingram, 27, his wife, Patricia,
26, and their sons, 8 and 3, marked
the latest twist in the bizarre saga of
the now-legendary Cooper, who pa-.
rachuted from a Northwest Airlines
jetliner on Thanksgiving Eve, 1971,
never to be seen or heard from again..

When found by the Ingrams, the
stacks of $20 bills were bound by de-
composing rubber bands, the FBI
said. But there was "no trace of D. B.
Cooper," according to the agency.°

Shortly after the hijacking, a cult
sprang up around D, B. Cooper, a
name that never has been traced to
its origins.

A private club was named in his
honor, D. B. Cooper T-shirts were
manufactured, bumper stickers were
run off and anniversary parties were
held.

Baker said in Portland that wheth-
er Cooper got away with the rest of
the money was an open question.

The decomposed money was found
17 to 20 miles from the jump site by
the Ingrams' older son, Brian. The
bills were partly buried in sand that

"It wasn't wood," Ingram said. "He

Ingram said he assumed the bills
might be part of the Cooper money.
He turned them over to the FBI, add-
ing with a smile that they were so de-
composed, "I couldn't have spent it."

In leafing through the rotting bills,
Baker said, the FBI made about "nine
or 10 immediate hits"—matches with
the numbers of the missing money.
The bills were flown to Washington
for further analysis and tests by the
FBI laboratory.

An FBI official said the packaging

The initial search, confined to an
area several hundred yards long and
40 yards wide, turned up "fragments
of more money"—nothing more, Bak-
er said. He said the money appeared

Law enforcement officials in the
Pacific Northwest have theorized
that Cooper's body is at the bottom of
Lake Merwin, 30 miles north of Port-
land, or that his bones are so entan-
gled in giant wild blackberry bushes
that they will never be found.

Ralph Himmelsbach, the FBI agent
who has worked on the hijacking
since it took place, said the money
probably had been washed down-
stream from a Columbia tributary in
Washington. But he said he doubted
that it came from the Lewis River,

Loot Found But |

"Trail Still Cold

From The Soa Diego Union's News Services

PORTLAND, Ore. — Children dig:
ging in the sand during a family
picnic uncovered up to $3,000 of the
$200,000 taken by D.B. Cooper in a
1971 jet hijacking in which the hi-
jacker escaped by parachute, the
FBI said yesteday.

FBI officials said the discovery of

- the money on a Columbia River

beach north of Portland reinforced
their long-held theory that Cooper
was killed in the daring plunge that

Jhas made the aerial bandit a folk

: hero in the Pacific Northwest.

No trace has been found of the

hijacker.
At news conferences in Washing-

'ton, Seattle and Portland, the FBI

confirmed that the money — not
counted but estimated at $3,000 or
less — was part of the $200,000 in $20

* bills given Cooper on demand after

he commandeered a Northwest

-Orient Airlines 727 trijet on

Thanksgiving eve 1971.
A man using the name D.B. Coo-

: per boarded the jet in Portland,
+ threatened to blow it up, then forced
~ it to land in Seattle to collect the

ransom. He allowed 36 passengers
aboard the flight to leave the air-
craft, then ordered the crew to fly to

"Reno. When it landed in Reno, there

was no trace of Cooper but the rear
exit door under the tail was open.

The FBI theorized at the time that
Cooper, dressed only in a business
suit and street shoes, jumped from
the plane over southwest Washing-
ton during a freezeing storm.

FBI agent Ralph Himmelsbach,
who has been on the Cooper case

- Since the night of the skyjacking,
" said the discovery of the money

h

reduced to "less than 50-50" the odds
that Cooper is alive.

surface.

"It indicates to us there's been a
lot of sand shift there and the money
has been there for some time,"
Nicodemus said.

The discovery of the money was

the first solid lead in the case since
Cooper jumped from a Northwest
Airlines flight after a hijacking that
began at Portland.

The hijacker, who actually used
the name Dan Cooper on boarding
the plane, told a stewardess he had a
bomb in his briefcase and demanded
$200,000 and four parachutes and to-
be flown to Reno, Nev. He allowed
the other passengers to leave the
plane at Seattle where he got the
money and chutés. ;

After takeoff, Cooper forced the —
entire crew to the flight deck and
while the plane was over southwest -
Washington he jumped with his loot

into the freezing, rainy night.

legendary extortionist who para-

over southwest Washington, an area
_ of rugged mountains and thick for-

hidden forever. Many authorities
say they think Cooper, whose real
identity never has been learned, died

iin the leap from the plane.

Himmelsbach, the agent who has

the night it occurred, said he knew of
"no unidentified bodies, which could

plied by the airline at his demand. °

Himmeslbach outlined a "possible
scenaric" which would explain the
money's presence on the beach.

"Probably the money (in the bag)
came down close to the bank of a
stream. When the water got high
enough it washed downstream,
bumping along the bottom. The bag
finally degraded.

"Perhaps it could have burst on
impact but that is not likely. We
think finally, tumbling down the
river bottom, it-broke open and the
money was carried on, wearing off
little bits and pieces around the
edges, grinding it down like it had
been ground with sandpaper or a
file, leaving the center portion."

The first money was found in
three packages, all bound together, |
by Brian Ingram, 8, and his cousin,'
Denise Ingram, 5. Brian's parents,
Harold and Pat Ingram of Van-
couver, turned the money over fo the
FBI Monday.

Dp. B. COOPER

May Be Halted After Today

VANCOUVER, Wash. (AP) — The
search along a Columbia River
beach for more money from the D.B.
Cooper hijacking eight years ago

», probably will be suspended after

today, FBI officials said yesterday.
Meanwhile, the FBI said a geolo-
gist concluded that several thousand
sgollars found Sunday by an 8-year-
old boy on a family picnic was

deposited on the beach in the past ,

year or two.

FBI agents continued to dig for
more of the $200,000 that Cooper took
with him when he bailed out of a
plane on Thanksgiving Eve in 1971.

The search began Tuesday along
the river's north shore, about three
miles southwest of downtown Van-
couver. Additional scraps of money
were found on Wednesday.

A-man whose passenger list was
signed "Dan Cooper" left a North-
.. west Airlines plane that was bound
"for Reno from Seattle after he dis-
played what appeared to be a bomb

,and obtained a package of $20 bills

and three parachutes.
FBI agents believed he left the
plane, during a storm, about 20

mtfeS fiortheast of where the crum-

bled and weathered bills were found.

It is the nation's only unsolved
hijacking.

"We'll work today and tomorrow
and probably knock it off and bring
my troops back up here'attd reassess
the situation," said Jack Pringle,
assistant agent in charge of the*
Seattle office which took over the
search operations.

"Some of the area is inaccessible
and there's no way we can Search
the whole river," Pringle said.

He said geologist Leonard Palmer
of Portland State University con-
cluded that the dredging operation in
1974 did not put the money onto the
beach, because the bills were found
above clay deposits put on the banks
by the dredge.

Brian Ingram, when scooping out
a place for a campfire, found the
money, tied together by rubber
bands in three clumps, under a thin
layer of sand.

The bills were matched to the
Cooper loot by serial numbers.

The FBI speculated the bills could
have washed into the Columbia from
a tributary and were studying flood
records. on

« 'PORTLAND, - Ore.—FBI agents
Wednesday found more fragments of
money from the $200,000 airline hi-
jacking loot of the legendary "D. B.
Cooper," but the mystery of what
happened to the man appeared no
closer to solution.

*.Fo complicate matters, agents
feaned Wednesday that all the cash
fotnd so far on a sandy beach of the

, Columbia River may have come from
fnaterial dredged from the center of
the river in 1974.

"#We don't know what that means,"
FBI agent Ralph Himmelsbach said.

. "We have the Army Corps of En-
gineers and geologists out there. An
agént who was out there said it looks
"like they'll be able to help us out."

Himmelsbach said a number of ad- —

ditional fragments were dug up by
agents Tuesday afternoon and Wed-
nesday morning, some of them from
as deep as 3 feet. One agent at the site
described a formless fist-size clump
as "a wadded-up bunch of $20 bills."
Himmelsbach said the geologists

and corps scientists probably would hijacking in the nation.

be able to determine whether the

material on the shore in which the .

money was found had come from the
middle of the river and had been
washed downstream from the Wash-
ougal River or carried upstream by
dredges from the mouth of the Lewis
River and dumped at the site.

Until such a determination is made,
agents planned no widespread search
of wooded areas connected to the riv-
er by streams.

A man who signed in as Dan Coop

er left Portland, Ore., on Thanksgiv-
ing eve in 1971 aboard a Northwest
Airlines jet. Once the flight was in the.
air, the hijacker displayed what ap- _
peared to be a bomb and demanded ,

: HIJACK

«

On November 24, 1971, a lone white male boarded
Northwest Orient Flight #305 at Portland, Oregon: At approxi-
mately 3:22 PM while the flight was en route to Seattle,
Washington, he indicated to the stewardess that his briéfcase
contained a bomb which would blow up the plane unless his
demands were met.

The hijacker demanded $200,000 and four parachutes
in exchange for the safety of the 36 passengers aboard the
plane. When the aircraft landed at Seattle, Washington,
Northwest Orient Airlines complied with his instructions.
After he received the parachutes and the money, the hijacker

- allowed all passengers and two airline stewardesses to
. deplane..

He then ordered the remaining crew members into
the first-class section of the aircraft and informed them he
desired to fly to Mexico City. The hijacker instructed that
the plane proceed in a southerly direction and fly at a low
altitude and slow speed which would enable the rear door
of the plane (Boeing 727) to be opened during tHe flight.

The hijacker apparently bailed out somewhere
between Seattle, Washington, and Reno, Nevada, where the
plane landed to refuel. It was determined the hijacker, two
parachutes, and the ransom money had disappeared when the
plane was inspected at Reno, Nevada.

Artist conception drawings of the aircraft hijacker
were prepared by the Federal Bureau of Investigation Exhibit
Section and are considered a reasomblelikeness. The black
and white composites were prepared initially, and some.time
later the color composites were prepared to depict the
hijacker's complexion and age more graphically.

Re Seattle airtel to San Diego dated 12/15/81.
Re: William Clemens .

Enclosed herewith for the Seattle Division is one (1)
driver's license photograph for William Tvan Clemens (deceased)
. dated 12/2/76.

On 1/6/82, records of the California Lay Enforcement
Telecommunications System (CLETS) disclosed a driver's license,
number' B2050929, for William Ivan Clemens, born 12/4/17, who as
of 12/2/76 resided at 2452 Alto Cerro Circle, San Diego, California,
the address referred to in referenced communication as belonging to

ens.| | the Seattle Division b6
| California, dated b7C

b7D

CLETS records further identified Clemens as a male,
6'1", 185 pounds, green eyes, brown hair. Records disclose
that Clemens was deceased.

On the same date, San Diego indices, and records of
San Diego Police Department and Sheriff's Department disclosed
no arrest record for Clemens, no citations and no traffic
convictions.

Comparison of the enclosed driver's license photograph
does not disclose any marked resemblance to the artist's conception
drawing of "D.B. Cooper".

On 1/25/82, |

California, telephone number | Iwas contacted relative to
the information furnished in his letter to the Seattle Office
referred to above. . stated that he was prompted to write the
letter after viewing an "In Search Of" episode on television con-
cerning "D.B. Cooper" in the captioned hijacking. In

estimation, the artist's conception drawing of "Cooper" reminded

him of Clemens. He had no other reason than this believed resemblance

to consider Clemens a suspect in the captioned matter, but believed
that Clemens was a retired airline pilot, although he did_not know
for which airlines Clemens had flown. Clemens had never
of any paratrooper-—type experience and was fairly tight-lipped re-
garding his personal life. believed that this could be

accounted for, possibly by e tact that Clemens was in apparently

failing health due to a terminal disease resulting ultimately in his

death. -

Other than the above, | was able to furnish no infor-
mation other than that contained in his original letter, indicating
any additional reason why Clemens should be considered a possible
suspect in this case.

The enclosed photograph is being forwarded to Seattle
for possible display to witnesses in this matter. No further
investigation regarding Clemens is contemplated at San Diego unless
requested by Seattle.

doctor received information from the Clackamas County

several months ago and allegedly is still hanging there.

In view of this, the doctor thought there might be a

NORJAK investigation, Dr,[__|indicated,that according

to the information he has, the parachute wasfound almost two
years ago and that in addition, one | | Clackamas
County Sheriff's Office, found a man's clothing in about
August or September of 1974 in the same general area where
the skull was found, According to the doctor, the clothes
were never brought into the Sheriff's Office,

Dr. Lap lwouta like to know if we had any
identifying data regarding COOPER on which an identification
can be made with the skull, that is, proven or disproven
identification, He was advised that we will look into this
although it is very doubtful if we have any information

Agent

If not for my inherent procrastion you might have gotten this

letter a year or two earlier, and if not for the urgings of many

of my'friends you may not have received it at all. You may

be the best personicontact, but I lifted your name from the [1
Seattle P I Sunday Northwest magazine section, To shorten

what otherwise could be a long story I will say that it is

possible I may know the real name of the man called "Cooper."

My friends have urged me to contact the FBI and tell the same story
I have told them. They labor under the delusion I'll get rich

from all Tewards. But reward or not I will relate to you, or some
other agent, what I know (and do not know) if you can do what you
can to kvep my name confidential.

I have no need at all for a homocide bent, revenge cragy crook on
my trail sometime in the future

I lost track of this man sometime in 1964, but from what little I
know of the hijacking case everything fits. The composite sketch
is not a likeness, but two of the features are certginly his.

I haven't said anything up to now for two reasons.
1. The nagging. fear I could be causing an innocent person a
.LOt of trouble, and
2. should I be right the guilty party would not look to
kindly on me. ,

I say something now for a number of reasons. Unlike my friends who
are positive I once knew the man who was to become D. B. Cooper,
I am not sure. I guess I'd like to know too.

Please feel free to have an agent or yourself contact me. Maybe
you will agree with my friends.

'DAN COOPER' — STILL AT LARGE, MAY HAVE |
WRITTEN A 'PAGE OF HISTORICAL FOLKLORE *

ew og ie

It has now been three years since ''Dan Cooper"
parachuted from the Northwest Aijrlines jet he
hijacked with $200,000 in ransom money, and, for
good or ill, wrote himself into the folklore of the
Pacific northwest. In two more years the federal
statute of limitations on the crime will run out and
Dan Cooper will be home free — if he's still alive.

According to the U.S. Department of
Transportation, Cooper is the only person to ever *
hijack a domestic airliner who has not been killed
or brought to justice. 'We know nothing more
about him today than we did at 11 p.m., '
Wednesday, Nov. 24, 1971," said Julius Mattson, «
special agent in charge of the Portland, Ore. FBI ~
office. "I just wish we had something to go on. We
don't have a thing. Just a big zero."

These are the events of that Thanksgiving Eve «
{hijacking as authorities have reconstructed them: | +
"¢( A man who gave his name as Dan Cooper bought .°
+a one-way ticket at Portland International Airport *
"to Seattle aboard Northwest Airlines flight 305.

which originated in Washington, D.C. No «
antihijacking measures were in operation as the 36 +
passengers boarded the Boeing 727 for the'
25-minute flight. '

In the air, Cooper handed stewardess Tina
Mucklow a note saying he had a bomb. Following
Cooper's orders, Miss Mucklow sat beside him and
wrote down instructions to the pilot. Cooper
wanted 10,000 $20 bills to be delivered to him at
Seattle in a laundry sack, along with two sets of
parachutes. Otherwise, he said he would blow up
the plane.

Airline officials and FBI agents complied and
Cooper allowed the passengers and two of the
three stewardesses to disembark at Seattle. Then he
ordered the plane to fly south to Reno, Nev., at
200 miles per hour, at 10,000 feet, flaps down.
The crew was to stay in the cockpit.

After takeoff from Seattle, a red light flashed in
the cockpit indicating the plane's rear boarding
'ramp had been unlatched. Nothing was heard from +

é Cooper for about 20 minutes. At 8:10 p.m. as the +
'plane crossed the Lewis River in Southwestern ° t
Washington, Capt. William Scott thought the '

hijacker was having trouble with the ramp and ,
called back over the plane's interphone:

"Anything we can do for you?"

There was no answer. 5

Then another light flashed to show the ramp was
fully extended. A few seconds later Cooper came
back on the interphone:

"No."

That was the last anyone ever heard of him. |
When the plane landed in Reno, the rear ramp was
down and Cooper was gone. The 21-pound sack of,
money was gone. One set of parachutes was gone.
The hijacker, who had carefully reclaimed his note«

to the stewardess, had left no fingerprints. -« > .

WASHINGTON — The FBI § is dis- |

counting the possibility that a Northern
Virginia man named Jerry A. Cooper
may be the Dan Cooper, who parachuted .
from a 727 jet over southwestern Wash-
ington four years ago and disappeared
«+ With a $200,000 ransom.
>> ¢, The Virginia man, an experienced

"skydiver who bears a striking physical -

"resemblance to the police artist's con-
. ception of the hijacker, voluntarily '
"approached the FBI Monday for ques-
"toning after he learned of ithe inves:
tigation." =< woe

Later, he told The Oregonian he had"
never been in the Pacific Northwest,
~and urged the real hijacker to' 'come

,. out of hiding and get me out of this."

. Michael A. Morrow, -the assistant
special FBI agent in charge of the Alex-"
andria, Va., office, said, "We feel very .

~ certain that he is not D.B. Cooper; but

+ "until we're 100 per cent sure we "il bisa

+ « checking." ;

' .* (The hijacker signed 'a 'flight mani-

{. fest. "Dan Cooper" but the FBI at first
released the name "D.B. Cooper,"

* which has survived in press accounts.) .

. * Morrow said the FBI is investigating
* Jerry Cooper's whereabouts at the time
of the 197] Thanksgiving eve incident,
- and 'added the _issue _is almost
resolved." '-

The FBE began its investigation after.

_ an anonymous caller told Fairfat Coun- °
ty, Va. police he had seen $15,000 cash
in Jerry Cooper's apartment and sus-
"pected him of being the élusive hijacker.

bd The caller directed police to Coop-
er's sister-in-law, Carol Wood: After
she was questioned by an FBI agent she
told her brother-in-law who "voluntar-
ily came into our office and was most
cooperative," Morrow said. < +
Cooper said, "If I had $15,000, I'd be,
*« out fishing somewhere.
. "I'd seen the picture (of the hijack-
er) before, but I never really noticed it,"
Jerry Cooper said Tuesday. "You com
right down to it, the guy is almost the
same as me. The same weight, samé
height, same complexion."

who parachuted from: a
hijacked jet four years'
ago with -a bag full of ;
ransom money.

~Robert G. Kunkel} FBI
agent-in charge of the:
case, said the agency is.
convinced Jerry Cooper,
an ex-skydiver with'a
knowledge of commer;
cial aircraft, was hunting
'| with friends in Virginia-
,while his namesake was
- extorting $200,000 in the

Pacific Northwest. — __,,

"The FBI began: its

By communication dated October' 10, 1975, the
Los Angeles Division advised as follows:

On the afternoon of October 8, 1975, six Special
Agents equipped with pared metal detectors consi tho a search
of the area as described by _ without locating
any evidence of buried ammunition cans. These Agents remained
on the site the night of October 8, 1975, and resumed search
at sunrise October 9, 1975. They were joined by nine U.S.
Marine Corps personnel equipped with Marine Corps metal detectors
and entire area depicted on map was searched three separate b6
times. Numerous metal items, such as nails, horse shoes, b7Cc
beer cans, etc., were located below the ground surface and
dug up; however, again no ammunition cans or loot was located.
Additional vohotographs of area were piaiken_and—are be in6 processed.
From explicit directions originally it is obvious
that this is the area he was describing. I1t 1s also apparent
that he is completely familiar with the area. The only
discrepancy in is that there are

seven concrete SIabs Iocated in the parking lot instead of
five as] originally stated.

Los Angeles also furnished the following map
detailing the area in which the search was conducted and

' Cooper—the nation's first
, and only successful para-

used highway flares as a
bomb threat to extort
$200,000 from Northwest
Airlines.
The statute of limita-

, people offered her every-
thing from stoves to cloth-

Mrs, Jensen' was taken

mals are some of the in-
triguing questions left
unanswered by the extén-
sive investigation thus far.

"Is a very much ac-
tive investigation," said a
senior FBI agent who has
spent many hours on the
case. "We have run down
literally thousands of
leads, and eliminated
hundreds of people as sus-
pects." .

"My personal guess is
that there is just a 50 per
cent chance that he is still
alive."

The sheer lack of distin-
guishing' characteristics
about Cooper and his abil-
ity to move unobirusively
before the hijacking has
balked the FBI's intense
efforts to determine how
he arrived at Portland In-

to the hospital Friday for
treatment of a heart con-
dition after she was "dis-
covered living in her Capi-
tol Hill home without heat
and with rainwater drip-
ping through the ceiling.
The house was being re-

ternational Airport that
wet, squally night.

He paid cash for his
flight from Portland to Se-
attle, then spent 50 min-
utes in an airport waiting
area before boarding with-
out one fellow passenger
remembering him.

Shortly after takeoff,
Cooper handed a note to a
stewardess that said, "I
have a bomb in my brief
case."

The FBI agent said

the stewardess described
what she thought was the
bomb as wires attached in
Cooper's attache case to
eight sticks of dynamite,
the same red color as her
uniform.
"Dynamite is not color
coded this way. She was
describing highway
flares," the agent said.

Help Pours In fer Mrs. Jensen

paired yesterday by volun-
teer workers, with help
from local charitable .agen-
cies. .

Persons wishing to help
Mrs. Jensen can do so by
telephoning the Rev. Carl
K, Randoy, at 546-1247.

Pesticide Kills 1,000 Ducks in BC

~ DELTA} B.C, ~ (AP) — Kaiser said Friday that

About 1,000 ducks have

the birds, all greenwinged

"been killed by pesticide teals, died after eating

Spread on a farm in this

erystals of. carbo-furan

municipality south of Van-- which had been spread on

couver, the Canadian
Wildlife Service said.
Surveys: biologist Gary

the fields to kill root mag-

gots.
* "They died practically

right where they -were
standing — it's very po-
tent stuff," said Kaiser. ,
Farmers in the area

were warned not to spread
the pesticide in areas used
by waterfowl, Kaiser said.

The agent said there was
doubt Cooper was an ex-
perienced parachutist
since when he jumped he
took-the two worst possi-
ble choices of the four
parachutes given him at
he Seattle-Tacoma Airport
where he obtained the
$200,000 in $20 bills.

He said the chest chute
he took was one that was
sewn together for use in a
parachute-assembling
Class and could not even
be used for jumping, and
the back chute was much
smaller than the large
chute he cut up.to wrap
the money in and tie it to
him.

A werld champion para-
chutists was quoted by the
agent as saying "no
amount of money" could
induce him to make the
jump Cooper did.

Jumping from 10,000
feet into heavy rain clouds,
there was no way Cooper
could have known where
he was coming down, ac-
cording to the FBI man.

'But the FBI is positive
that Cooper came down
about 12 miles, north of
Portland in an area four
miles by six miles.

Despite aerial and
ground searches, including
one the next spring using
soldiers. from Ft. Lewis,
Wash., no clues to Cooper's
disappearance havé ever
been found.

None of the 10,000 bills in
ransom have shown up ei-
ther, even though the Ore-
gon Journal offered a
$1,000 reward for the first
$20 from the Cooper haul
turned in to the Portland
newspaper.

TACOMA — (AP) — A
Japanese freighter 'loaded
With logs veered out of
control yesterday while
being assisted by tugs
through the Hylebos Wa-

closed at least two months
while repairs are made.

He said temporary 're-
pairs were made to allow
the waterway to be used

Puget Sound.

Immediately after the
the freighter
Syuko Maru was moored
in the waterway, a 30-foot
gash in her side. Officials
said there was no danger
to the ship:

Smith said the vessel

Commencement Bay when
it suddenly veered and
struck the bridge. He said
