Dear Sir:

I have no further information regarding the
individual described in your bulletin.

I offer for your consideration the use of a
small. radio transmitter which could be placed
in a parachute or other equipment requested

in the future by such a hi-jacker, that could
be used for subsequent tracking and triangula-
tion. I am thinking of a similar device used
by the Air Force and I believe it is referred
to as."SARA" which transmits a fixed radio
frequency at certain intervais, and is used
to find dewned air craft and/or Survivors.

I realize this would be of no value in the cur-
rent investigation, but offer it for future
reference.

Sincerely,

Ie fI- YS

| said that she and her husband observed a man in the

: Beachcomber supper club in Lake Oswego on the night of
Saturday, 12-17-71, who resemlled the sketch of the hi-
jacker.

Mrs, ALLEN said she and her husband were sitting
at the bar and fell into cmversation with the man about
| 9:00 to 9:30 pm, Eventually the conversation got around
to a discussion of the hijacking involvéd in this matter
and the man seemed to think the hijacker would almost
have frozen, When "rs, ALLEN asked what made him think
so, he said he was familiar with the area where the man
suppardly jumped. "hen Mrs. ALLEN became more pointed
in her questions, the man suddenly finished his drink

and left,

Mrp.—ALLEN shen asked| |_& man by the
name of {nh} who the man was; | said b6
he was | __and that he had been in the Beach- bic
comber once or twice before. | had pzotten

his name from |

Meg, ALLEN described him as white, about{__|, 5tgr,
130-135, slight build, dark receding hair, no glasses,
dressed in dark suit, shirt and tie. She said that his
eyes were particularly noticeable as being the sam as
those of the man in the sketch. At one point, when "rs.
ALLEN asked the man where he lived, he said across the
river and did not explain further, "rs, ALLEN noted that
this might put him in the VYregon City vicinity.

Seattle Office has set out lead for Portland
to contact local newspapers to (1) inquire whether a
printing.of the total ransom list in this case would
be possibie; and/or (2) a special feature story publicizing
the existence of ransom list, its possession by law enforce-
ment agencies, banks and other institutions throughout
the State and in general advising that checking of questionable
$20 bills against the list is invited.

The Oregonian and Oregon Journal bé
| jadvised they cannot print bic
the entire list due to the cost; however, 'they are very
glad to run an appropriate feature story and one is being
prepared for an early edition.

SA BELFREY is requested to appropriately report

FROM : ga| } be =
b7C

SUBJECT: NORJAK

On 12/27/71, at 3:50 p.m., SAC J, EARL MILNES,
Seattle Office, telephonically advised he had worked out a
plan with Northwest Airlines to utilize the same plane as in
instant skyjacking to retrace its route, with the plan being
to drop a dummy under identical circumstances over the believed
target area, in an effort to trace descent pattern.

SAC MILNES advised it was desirable to have an
airplane present to follow the falling dummy; he suggested
SA RALPH P, HIMMELSBACH, Portland Division, whom he knows to
be a pilot and an airplane owner. Mr. MILNES was advised that
appropriate inquiry would be made on this end and he would be
recontacted later, probably on 12/28/71.

SA HIMMELSBACH was contacted at home, where he is on
annual leave, and he stated that while he had intended to remain
on AL on Monday, 1/3/72, he would consider coming back on duty
for this project, recognizing the critical nature of it; however,
he stated that climatic conditions might dictate that the matter
be called off. He advised he would be in touch with ASAC RUEHL
on 12/28/71 regarding this projected flight.

It was noted that his facial features did not stig bee
artist's conception of the hijacker. Specifically,
is[__]years of age, has blue eyes and medium brown to Light

brown hair, a very noticeable cleft in his chin and a large,
prominent nose,

advised that the artist's conception of

age would be nearer | age than his own, and
would possibly be familiar with individuals who were in sky-
diving activities prior to 1964,

On December 3, 1971,| |
| | advised that the artist's conception
of the hijacker is not familiar to him. He has
| jwhen he was in the military. From what
he has heard and read about the hijacker, he feels that the
hijacker was possibly in the Special Forces (Green Berets),
since the Special Forces did considerable parachuting at
night time and from large planes and learned exiting from

ad

high-speed aircraft, determination of flight patterns, ap-
proaches, how to caiculate air speed, free falls, and so
forth,

He feels the Woodland, Washington, area, where
the newspapers indicated a search is under way, would be
a poor area in which to parachute since there is a narrow
gorge, numerous trees and a populated area. He feels any-
where in the Willamette Valley of Oregon would be very ac-
ceptable for a night time jump, explaining that it is a flat
area and it may have been possible to have seen the Aurora
beacon or.the Eugene beacon in the event the hijacker needed
a ground signal. He did not think jump boots would have
been necessary since the soggy ground would have lessened
the chance for foot or ieg injury. He expressed the opinion
the hijacker could have acted alone and could have escaped
on the ground by having a parked vehicle in the vicinity
of the jump or possibly have taken off in another plane,

He pointed out that he, | | was out of the b6
military for | | b7c
|. He emphasized that he does not consider

it any particular feat to do night time jumping if one has
had this training in the Special Forces, He doubted that
the average skydiver would have this capability.

quarter round setting with a stage and
dance floor.

The "Social Hour" will begin at 6:30

edy situtations as they might occur or as
they have occured in the Savings and Loan
field.

This year, tentative plans are being laid
to use a Laugh-in format with short scenes
and quick bla¢k-outs. The script is pre-
sently being written by Doug Johnston

SPECIAL NOTICE

PORTLAND — On November 24, 1971,
a Northwest Orient Airlines{ plane was
hijacked between Portland, Oregon and
Seattle, Washington.

The hijacker extorted $200,000 from
Northwest Orient Airlines at the time he
hijacked the aircraft and all the money
was paid in $20 Federal Reserve Notes.
Serial numbers of the currency have been
recorded.

There is a good possibility the hijacker
deposited part of the money to a savings
account, exchanged $20 bills for other
denominations, or paid off a debt in $20
denominations.

Cooperation of all savings and loan
associations is urgently needed and it is
requested the FBI be immediately notified
in the event large deposits of $20 bills are
received or large payoffs are made in $20
bills.

Lists of the serial numbers have been
distributed to many savings and loan assoc-
iations in the State of Oregon, but if your
association does not have a copy please
contact the FBI, telephone mumber
224-4481, Portland, Oregon Office, and
checkout any questionable bills.

AMERICAN SAVINGS AND LOAN INSTITUTE - OREGON CHAPTER 87

FIVE MINUTE
SPEECH CONTEST

WIN TRIP TO ATLANTA

PORTLAND — The Annual Five-Minute
Speech: Contest sponsored by Chapter 37
of the American Savings and Loan Insti-
tute will be held January 27 at the Imper-
jai Hotel, 400 S.W. Broadway.

If you are interested in swapping five
minutes of speaking time for the oppor-
tunity to win an all expense paid trip to
Atlanta, Georgia, then this is your chance!

According to Russ Alemang, Chairman
of the Contest, "Seven persons have signed
up already, but the deadline is nearing and
contestants should contact us right away
if they have not signed up."

The contest is open to all men and wo-
men under the age of 36 who are either
personally or through their own Savings
and Loan Association a member of the
American Savings and Loan Institute.

The winner of Oregon competition in
January will have all expenses paid in
March to the American Savings and Loan
Institute's National Convention in Atlanta
where he or she will compete against all
other state winners. The winner of this
national competition, and only the wmner,

will then speak for a-second time before
the entire convention.

Following the convention, other speak-
ing engagements may be planned depend-
ing on time and availability. One thing is
certain. By winning the national contest,
the speaker assures himself or herself of a
return trip to the National Convention in
1978 to give his or her speech again before
the complete convention.

Past winners of the state competition
include Ron Spence (Portland Federal),
Bob Helber (Portland Federal), Stan
Baumhofer (Benj. Franklin), Wayne Miller
{Equitable Savings), Walter Koop (Port-
land Federal}, Bill Terry (Pacific First
Federal), Dave Hodge (Equitable).

This is 'the'? opportunity of all oppor-
tunities for the "stout of heart'? who wish
to let others know what they think. Re-
member, speakers will have five minutes,
and according to the rules . . . those min-
utes are to be "uninterrupted."

Why don't you become a winner by
just competing? The experience is worth
it. Be a winner!

To sign up call Russ Allemang now at
224-4444!

TELEPHONE

FORUM WELL
WORTH TIME

PORTLAND — Evelyn Kelsaw, Instruc-
tor for Pacific Northwest Bell, gave a
delightful Forum -at Equitable on Tele-
phone Etiquette .on December 16 for mem-
bers of five Savings and Loan Associations
in attendance.

The evening festivities co-ordinated
through 'the talented efforts of George
Bocci of Willamette Savings and Loan,
began with a delicious chicken dinner from
Treland's Restaurant.

The Forum, sponsored by the Oregon
Chapter of the American Savings and Loan
Institute, highlighted ways in which people
misuse the telephone and the calling party
without even realizing it. This point was
evidenced by a film titled "How to Lose
a Customer, Without Even Trying."

The film showed how a firm lost an
important customer through improper
handling of the telephone and messages,
and gave tips on how these bad circum-
stances could have been avoided if hand-
led properly.

It was felt by those in attendance that
the contents of this particuiar Forum
should be made available to all Savings and
Loan personnel,

As a point of interest to Training Super-
visors and Personnel Directors, Pacific
Northwest Bell holds classes free of charge
on each first and third Wednesday of the
month from 10 - 11:30 a.m. These classes
are on different phases of telephone use
and telephone ettiquette and are held at
421 S.W. Oak, Portiand, in Room 401.

If interested call one week in advance
to make 'reservations for your personnel.
The room holds 40 persons. For more
information call 226-5725:

evening with 23 points. Stan Kazebee of B.F. guards
