his alibi. At that early stage of the 'investigation, the thought
was that S had parachuted into the Pinchot National Forest, and
the person in question was seen too far from the suspected site
to have been able to get out of the forest in time, and was
therefore illiminated. Later, thoughts had changed about where
the parachutist would have landed, and C believes he was never
reinvestigated. C stated the individual has been in a federal
penitentiary since that time, however, he has since been
'released.

C would appreciate a call from an Agent with intimate
knowledge of the case.

The above info. is provided for appropriate action.

RE: b7C

Re memo of SA » 11/26/71,

Information in referenced memo to the affect
that a white male was seen 25 miles south of Eugene,
Oregon, at approximately 10:30 a.m. on November 25, 1971,
walking from a field next to Interstate 5, is so inconclusive
as to make further investigation unwarranted,

Since it is known UNSUB parachutes into an area
near Woodland, Washington, and the above-described incident
took place south of Eugene, Oregon, no further investigation
will be conducted concerning this particular aspect of the
NORJAK case,

ARMED AND DANGEROUS.

She advised that she heard the report of the hijacking on
her car radio while traveling north on Interstate 5 from San Fran-
cisco. Then at approximately 10:30 am on 11/25/71, she observed
a white male walking from a field next to I 5. The individual was

ADDENDUM:

sa[__] interviewed Jon November 27, bé
1971, at which time she advised that she was traveling on 2 b7C

two lane highway with clear fields on her right, which would be
east of the northbound highway, She recalled that this inci-

. dent happened when she was estimating about 20 or 25 miles

from a city since she recalis that in about 20 minutes while
traveling approximately 60 miles an hour she arrived through

a large town, She said the man was dressed in dark clothing,
wearing a full-length overcoat and carrying a metallicetype
Suitcase, She recalis seeing him come out of the fields upon
the road in a westerly direction, turning right going north

on the highway, since she remembers splashing water on him,

I called SA MATSON on November 27, 1971, and asked
him to have an Agent do a neighborhood in this area south of
Eugene, Oregon, to see if any information concerning this
matter could be developed,

SUSPECT NORMAN KARL ALLEN

&

; Chief of Police NICK GIARDINO, Bellevue, Washington,
called on November 28, 1971. He said he had a source whém
he could not disclose who said that the drawing appearing in
today's paper looked very much like NORMAN KARL ALLEN. ALLEN
allegedly left Seattle about three weeks ago for Mexico City.
Source has not heard from him since. He was formerly a
chemist at the University of Washington where his employer
'died and he quit his job. Source has no information of any
skill at jumping or airplanes or anything of that nature but
says that suspect looks very much like the drawing. GIARDINO
said he would question source further in regard to the possi-
bility of obtaining a photograph and Agent handling this lead
should check with GIARDINO.

rear stairway flying at 10,000 feet through clouds at about |
178 knots:'on IPR Flight, what would be the conditions that

would exist as soon as the cabin was depressurized?

A. As soon as the hatch was cracked, there would
be depression matters of the aircraft. The lowering of the
stairwell would create a° effect on the entire aircraft
because the air flow is disrupted here which would naturally

Q. This would have no material effect on the jumper
physiologically at this altitude?

A. No, not at 10,000 feet.

Q. This would be a very practical altitude in
which to jump?

2,000 feet altitute when the chute opens which still gives
hin another three minutes to the ground.

Jumping into a heavily wooded area is also
relatively simple.

Jumping into water is even more simple for an
experienced jumper.

Q. If the wind velocity at 10,000 fcet was 25 -
knots and the ground level five knots, roughly how far
could he travel?

A. He would be in the saddle for ten minutes.
On a clear and pull situation (immediate opening of the
chute}, he could go five miles on the wind line or wind
direction; and a normal delayed opening maximum distance
with a five knot wind would be two or three thousand feet.
Even with a non-steerable chute, by taking hold of the
risers and facing into the wind and making an almost direct
descent which would also produce a very soft landing
equivalent to stepping off a chair.

Q. Would the spped' b£ the plane at 178 knots
present any problem? i
.. A. No, not for a jumper.

Q. Based on the information we have Giscussed;
here, does this jump present any problem to an experienced
jumper?

we

A. None whatsoever.

~

Q. Do you think this man made this type of jump
before.

A. Z would say he has made some high altitude
jumps before. The mere fact that the jumper requested
15 degree flaps and gear down to increase drag would also
indicate the jumper was an experienced high altitude
parachutist.

Q. What would the possibility be of the jumper
suffering ankle or leg injuries in wearing oxford street
shoes? .
A. No more than if he had jump boots on. It

shouldn't create any problem. | ] bé |
' b7c

From the information furnished regarding the above
Situation, it is my Opinion that this jumper was experienced
and I would say having at least 150 jumps. ;

Q. What would your guess be as to the number
of 'Jumpers in the country that could pull this type of
jump off?

A. At least 1000 people.

In the "Parachutist" put out by the U. S. Parachute
Association, there are listed the names and state from which
they are from for every individual which has obtained a
License, whether it is Chass A, B, C, BD, or I.

E A Class C jumper could have made the above jump.
There are currently 7192 licensed Class C jumpers-to Say
nothing of Class D or f.

As of this month, there are 3094 Class, D jumpers.

Te ae,
~

Class I is not given.

The above figures do not include military versonnel
that have done high altitude free-fall jumps. There is no way
to determine how many jumpers would be in that category.

The only time lapse necessary from departure of the
aircraft to the opening of the chute is that time needed to
stabilize the body and this is determined by cach jumpers
capabilities.

"any problem to this person?

A. It wouldn't bother me. I would certainly
check it over as would any experienced jumper.

Q. This would take less than ten minutes?
A. Yes.

Q. Could an average Forest Service Smoke Jumper
pull off this job?

A. I doubt it. Bearing in mind smoke jumpers are
for the most part all static line jumpers as is military,
and unless they're doing some skydiving on the side.

In all likelihood, the smoke jumper could be

eliminated. ;
; i

Q. L__], would you discuss the age factor of a man b6

45 to 50 in parachute jumping? , How many are active? bIC

A. Very few. ;
ha £
t 5
. However, high altitude jumpers in that age
group would be extremely limited. These would he officials

of jump clubs or parachute governing bodies and/or instructors.

Q. Bringing the age factor into this, would that
change your estimate of the excess with. which this jump -

could be performed? 716 PSR

A. No, because of the fact it requires no special
physical condition to pull off a jump if you know what you're Z
- doing. ' . :

Q. Could you estimate how many residents in
the State of Washington or Oregon could have pulled this
off?

A. No.

SEATTLE
At Longview, Washincton

PERNA is well known to Chief of Police
BENIFIELD and FERNANDEZ is presently living in Longview. .
It is to be noted that his present description closcly meets
that of the hijacker and his photograph on last arrest does
not meet his present appearance. While at McNeil Island
subject was a physic usjias a ood
shape now. Further,
This caper is something that FERNANDEZ is very
capable of doing. It is suggested that BENIFIELD might be
able to climinate PERNANCEZ by ascertaining his Location
last Wednesday night. Y£ not, a photograph of FERNANDEZ,
Lf a recent onc can be located, should be exhibited to
witnesses. —
