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 Bureau metal detectors conducted 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 times. Numerous metal items, such as nails, horse shoes, beer cans, etc., were located below the ground surface and dug up; however, again no ammunition cans or loot was located. Additional photographs of area were taken and are being processed. From explicit directions originally it is obvious that this is the area he was describing. It is also apparent that he is completely familiar with the area. The only discrepancy in is that there are seven concrete slabs located in the parking lot instead of five as originally stated.

Thanksgiving begin's the 365 day countdown for Cooper-the nation's first and only successful para- chuting skyjacker-who used highway flares as a bomb threat to extort $200,000 from Northwest Airlines. 1
The statute of limita- tions on the hijacking charge against Cooper is five years. The phantom figure vanished after para- chuting from a Northwest Airlines 727 with his loot on Thanksgiving eve,' 1971. Whether he survived the jump or his body is. down at the bottom of a deep lake, hung in a tree or his remains scattered by ani-
mals are some of the in- triguing questions left unanswered by the exten- sive investigation thus far.
"It's 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 unobtrusively before the hijacking has balked the FBI's intense efforts to determine how he arrived

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

Pesticide Kills 1,000 Ducks in BC
· DELTA, B.C. - (AP) - About 1,000 ducks have been killed by pesticide spread on a farm in this municipality south of Van-' couver, the Canadian Wildlife Service said.
Surveys: biologist Gary
Kaiser said Friday that the birds, all greenwinged teals, died after eating crystals of . carbo-furan which had been spread on 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 the Seattle-Tacoma Airport where
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 the 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 world 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 have 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

Ship Hits Tacoma Bridge
TACOMA - (AP) - A Japanese freighter loaded with logs veered out of control yesterday while being assisted by tugs through the Hylebos Wa- terway, seriously damag- ing a drawbridge and clos- ing a state highway.

to $1 million and the high- the repair bill would run way 509 bridge would be closed at least two months while repairs are made.
He said temporary 're- pairs were made to allow the waterway to be used by ships between the Ta- coma industrial area and Puget Sound.
Immediately after the collision, 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 was being towed 'toward Commencement Bay when it suddenly veered and struck the bridge. He said it appeared there was

Smith said highway en- gineers would meet tomor- row to more accurately assess the damage. But he said preliminary estimates indicated the bridge may take more than two months to repair, and that it may have to be recon- structed.
Highway department of- ficials said the question of .payment for the damage "will have to b thrashed out," between | the state, the shipping company and insurance companies in- volved.
