"A certainly in WEavennae
tion, formerly a i sou
dazzler from his bouf{® silver-
white hairdo to his wildly colored

mod threads complete with flow-

ing cape, he now looks like a refu-
gee from a B-western movie about
Kit Carson. His locks are shoulder
length and changing color from
bleached white to salt and pepper,

* game shade as his grizzted beard.

Whereas he once shouted many
tunes in the Otis Redding man-
ner, he now preachies long and rab-
idly between" measures in funky,
strect language, or sets the
preachment to music of his own
cleffing and lyrics, The. revival
method works. The crowd has a
ball responding to his exhor-
tations.

Cochran's backgrounders, The
Cc. C. Riders, are solid jazztock
blowers. They also have changett
sartorially, in exact ratio to their
leader. Once upon a time, the 18

musickers blew in near-formal at- .

tire, tuxedo derivatives, but are
now wildly individual, each with his

own style and colors, 'plus hire .

guitarman to a Ddiblical hair-flow

tremendous. '

Thelma Houston is one power-
house singer of contemporary lied-
er. She holds complete attention
throughout her 45 minutes, ran;
ing in repertoire from a rockin
"Me and Bobby McGee" through
gospel-tinted tunes, Carole King
medley, tribute to Otis Redding

and a couple of blockbusters, deep .

soul wails of black disenchantment
with established precedents in
"Blackberries" and "Heaven Help
Us Alt." Her backup quintet is ¢x-
cellent, headed by John Myles con-

ducting at keyboard; Ron Feuer, _

organ; Tom McDermott, guitar;
Don Baldwin, bass; and Pete Lulis,
drums,

Sami Jo, an exponent of pops to
lease as many tastes as possible,
ails short. Having no solid base

to sing other than strong pipes,
she is sadly misdirected all the
way through her 45 minutes. The
presentation is a collection of soft-
er rock tunes, belted with little
feeling, In a flashback to rock's
beginnings, "Hound Dog," 'Rock

—

who generally matches the descrip-
tion of the Unsub in Norjak, however has greying hair, had come
in to his bank on Novembe L, 1 a
himself as a

who obtained a large sum of money. He wanted infor-

mation about how money was marked, how it could be traced, how
large an amount was necessary before Internal Revenue was advised
ete. C. gave him very evasive answers, and orpgi nally suspected
subject might be considering a bank robbery. Subject opened his
account with an unemployment check from the state of Illinois,
and has made no sizeable deposits since that time. However,
when C. asked for his prior bank, he furnished the West Des
Moines State Bank, Des Moines, Iowa. C. is still awaiting
verification of subject's signature from that bank, but noted

it seemed strange he banked in Iowa but had an unempLoyment
check from Illinois. Subject did not open a safety deposit box.
C. further stated subject has been in about five times since he
opened his account, and a week or two ago asked the téller what
his balance was. It was only $9. 00, so he left and returned,
then deposited four $20 bills in his account. The teller did
not check the bills, but C, has instructed her to check any

further bills he deposits.

RE: NORJAK

Re Seattle teletype to Butte dated 12/20/71.

Enclosed for Seattle are 15 copies of an investigative

insert containing the names of individuals who were the

subjects of investigation and whose whereabouts were established
by the Los Angeles Division and/or results of investigation

and interviews revealed the person whose name was furnished

to the Los Angeles Division as a possible suspect, did not
appear to warrant further consideration as a logical suspect

at that time.

Details of investigation will be retained in the'
Los Angeles case file for captioned matter.

Referenced Seattle teletype requested contact
with logical informants, banks, news media and review of
bank robbery suspects to insure maximum coverage and
development of logical suspects.

A memorandum setting forth details of the hijacking
has been disseminated to all Agents in the Los Angeles Division
requesting all logical informants be contacted and Special
Agents concerned with bank robbery suspects have been requested
to remain alert for individuals who could be considered
logical suspects in this matter. — SEARCHED ——

' Three recent ventures into iit
craft hijacking for ransom have come

parachisted into the arms of ca 'ptors

Poughkeepsie, N-Y., and a thied was
wounded and captured if New

The disastrous outcome of these
