However he stated that when and if definite plans are made by the FBI re the publication his paper would consider putting in the numbers on a one time basis.
He made available to the writer a paste up sheet which is what is used to set stories, articles etc. in the paper and said this could possibly assist the Bureau in determining size of a page and content.
One other newspaper in PA terrotory is Daily Chronicle, Centralia, Washington and they stated they also would have to have more information on format, size of item to be published etc. before definite answer could be given.
Ithis suggested that the paste up sheet be used for placing therein the serial numbers which could then be made available to RAs for further contacts with newspapers, magazines etc ..
The writer received the distinct impression in aabove newspaper contacts that papers, looking at the loss of possibly one or two pages for publication of the numbers would re t eticent to publish same .

Re Seattle airtel to Bureau dated 5/12/76.
Contact with media outlets regarding requests as set forth in referenced airtel has determined that before media outlets will even consider printing a volume of serial numbers, the matter must be a current, constant highlight news interest (such as the first case), and must have a constant meaningful local interest to the readership.
There are no newspapers, magazines, or similar publications located within the Los Angeles Division that would be in a position to make space available to publish such a volume of serial numbers as involved in captioned case.

For the information of the Minneapolis Division, the enclosed lists were disseminated as suggested in referenced communication approximately five years ago. To date, none of the ransom bills have been discovered as a result of this dissemination.
It is not clear from information contained in referenced communication as to the insurance company's position concerning the new ransom proposals.
It is not clear from information contained in referenced communication as to the insurance company's position concerning the new ransom proposals. Timing is critical if this new program is to be implemented; therefore, if anything is going to be done concerning these proposals, it must be done soon in order for all preliminaries to be completed prior to the planned publicity campaign in November of this year.

Enclosed are four (4) artists composites, two black and white, and two color, depicting the NORJAK unsub with and without glasses.
On November 24, 1971, a lone white male boarded Northwest Orient Flight #305 at Portland, Oregon. At approximately 3:22 P.M., while the flight was en route to Seattle, Washington, he indicated to the stewardess that his brief case 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.
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, Northwest Orient Airlines complied with his instructions. After he received the parachutes and money, the hijacker allowed all passengers and the 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 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.

With regard to the FBI's request for space to run a list of ransom bill serial numbers and an accompanying article, stated that his paper would probably participate in this if the entire article, including the list of serial numbers, was not extensive and could be set forth in one column of one page. stated that should the printing of the serial numbers take an extensive amount of space to set forth, it would not be practical for the newspaper to run that type of article without reimbursement.

For information of Case Agent, there are no other newspapers or periodicals of significant circulation in the Yakima area; therefore, no additional contacts were made. 2 - Seattle LMH/jh (2)

Docklines BY DARIEN MURRAY ‘Malabar VII' may be getaway boat
At a waterfront bar in Papeete, Tahiti, I heard one of the most bizarre sea stories of our time.
Would you believe that D. B. Cooper, who bailed out of a Western Airlines plane five years ago with a fortune in cash, may be cruising the world's oceans aboard John Alden's "Malabar VII" from Dolphin Marina?
"It's our favorite fantasy," yacht broker Dan Streech of Dana Point said, explaining how "Malabar VII," which left Marina del Rey in 1970, may be

was offered for sale by the Streeches who left her in Fort Lauderdale and returned to the West Coast, Dan to Dana Point where he began selling boats, and his dad to the family home in Arizona.
"This man who called himself Mike Selzer decided to buy our boat," Dan said, "and he'd looked at a lot of boats. He may have bought ours because we were willing to take his camper as a trade-in. This was about two months after Cooper had made his getaway from the airplane.
"Selzer drove his camper to my folks' home in Arizona, and they spent a lot of time visiting before he took off for Florida. My dad says Selzer mentioned he had worked as a smoke jumper."
Six weeks after Selzer delivered the camper "nearly new, with only 2,000 miles on it," Dan said the F.B.I. turned up at the Strecch home "and the agents said the man we knew as Selzer fitted the description of Cooper perfectly. The F.B.I. ren also said some of the money Cooper bailed out with had turned un in Las Vegas."

BACK PACKING IN FRENCH POLYNESIA
Dan was on his way to the Tahiti airport after three weeks of hiking around the islands of Tahiti, Moorea. Huahinc, Raiatea and Bora Bora with a back pack. He'd gone from one island to another as a passenger on the copra boat "Tapora III," hiking days and sleeping nights on the beaches. He said the land-crabs didn't chew on him (the local rumor that keeps visitors from camping on the beaches) and very few mosquitos took a bite: "I was taking Vitamins B 12 and B 6 and I understand if you do that, the mosquitos aren't interested. Anyway, I only got one or two bites a day."
He spent about $300 in three weeks (plus $750 round-trip ait fare from Los Angeles) and most of the places where he camped were near native huts "and the Tahitians brought me food." He recalled buying "mostly bread, with lots of peanut butter and jelly."
In his back pack: a sleeping bag, a bedsheet, swim fins and mask, Sterno and freeze-dried food, one pair of long pants, one pair of cut-offs, a swim suit "and three or four shirts.
"
In his back pack: a sleeping bag, a bedsheet, swim fins and mask, Sterno and freeze-dried food, one pair of long pants, one pair of cut-offs, a swim suit "and three or four shirts."
On Bora Bora, Dan spent two days reading a ship's log kept by Hans Fleish "at the Oa Oa, or perhaps you spell it Oahoa Hotel. Hans caters to visiting yachts and has free hot showers for boating people. Then he asks them to write about their voyages in his log. Some people even draw pictures. I couldn't

DB Cooper-14594The best hotel-bargain has got to be a place in Tahiti near downtown Papeete where you pay 150 francs ($2.14) for a room. Unless you want a door, then it's 200 francs.
Across from the cruisine boats on Papeete's waterfront is the Stewart Hotel (about $10), a favorite among cruising people who want to get off their boats. At the opposite end of the spectrum are the big glassy high-rise hotels where you pay $50 and more to meet other tourists.
At the opposite end of the spectrum are the big glassy high-rise hotels where you pay $50 and more to meet other tourists.
I stumbled into a happy compromise: the aging Te Puna Be Air, a hotel four miles outside Papeete frequented by Americans and Europeans who visit Tahiti often. Quiet, charming and inexpensive by Tahiti standards (about $20-522), it's sandwiched between two American-style luxury hotels and you can hike over to their white-sand beaches.
One of the cherms of the Te Puna Bel Air is its inconsistencies: I met four women from Sacramento who were staying there and they had no hot water (I did), I had a wasp nest on my balcony (they didn't), they had ice in a refrigerator (I didn't) but I had a bottle of Scotch (they didn't). We pooled pur resources and scon felt we had a luxury suite.
Also, we met islard people who treat the hotel bar and restaurant as a local hangout. Two of us explored a nearby reef with Annaican scuba divers who live in Tahiti, and white in enotheted on the surface, they would down ist reet and brought up black coral.

ISLAND-HOPPING BY BOAT
· Inter-island freighters offer expeditions for visitors: one is a 40-day trip with steps at 116 islands and. atofis. and it costs about $300. For the visitor on a brief vacation, John Stegenga of the schooner "Candide," four years out of Marina del Rey, suggested this one which he took:
"The "Timi Hani,' a 150 foot diesel freighter, leaves Papcete every Tuesday at 7:30 p.m. You sleep on deck with other travelers, including many Tahitians who sing and dance at night, and there are always people playing guitars.
"The freighter puts in a Huahini, Raiatea, Tahaa and Bora Bora and you go ashore and buy food at the Chinese grocery stores that are always close to the docks. You cook on deck.

"Bremerton
On 6/8/76, Sun", was advised of the plan, now being contemplated, to offer a reward for any of the bait money turned in in con- nection with this matter.
stated that that newspaper would be happy to cooperate in the plan should it materialize and he raised the question of how many bait bill numbers would have to be published.
stated that that newspaper would be happy to cooperate in the plan should it materialize and he raised the question of how many bait bill numbers would have to be published. He explained it would be very tedious, cumber- some and expensive to print and publish the list of bait bills if it was an extensive list. He explained that the paper has an offset printing press and that if the FBI could furnish an offset proof publishing the list of serial numbers would be simple and involve little or no expense to the newspaper.
He reiterated that his paper would be happy to cooperate in the plan if and when it materializes.
RECOMMENDATION
If the plan as set out in re memo is initiated, it is recommended that "offset proofs", be prepared in advance to facilitate publication of the bait bills.
It is noted that the "Bremerton Sun" is the leading newspaper on the Olympic Peninsula and covers all of Kitsap and Jefferson Counties.

Don comes to New York with twenty years of consumer finance experience, nine and a half years of which were spent in the small loan and discount fields where he received his basic training.
Realizing that a greater service could be rendered through credit unions, he started his credit union career with the East Moline Works Credit Union, East Moline, Illinois, as its first full-time Loan Officer.

Inquiry with the two major newspapers in San Francisco, revealed they had no interest in publishing the serial numbers of the $20 bills used in captioned case. This conclusion was made even after this office attempted to point out how such publication of the bills could increase their circulation. After one of the newspapers had said it had no interest in publishing the serial numbers, this infor -. mation was passed on to the other paper to consider the exclusive- ness it would have in publishing the serial numbers. This approach also proved unproductive.
Contacts with other newspapers in this Division were - also met with negative results.
