Referenced airtel encloses an insert and a copy of a photograph of LATHAM. In view of the poor quality of the photograph, it is not felt this photograph is sufficiently good to show to witnesses; therefore, Portland at Tigard, Oregon is requested to attempt to determine the whereabouts of LATHAM at the time of instant hijacking or to obtain better photograph of LATHAM for display to witnesses. 2 - Portland 2 - Seattle JSD : set (51)

On 12/27/71, at 3:50 p.m., SAC J.

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.

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 leg 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

In the event you have no pertinent information as to missing persons, please reply on this communication stating a check of your records was negative.

When asked how he knew this, caller just stated he knew and once the unknown subject had been identified and apprehended his revenge would be complete. Apparently, caller knows the identity of person who could be responsible for the hijacking.
Caller was very incoherent during most of the conversation and stated at the conclusion of the call, when you get the hijacker, tell him it was who turned him in to the FBI. At the end of this statement, caller laughed and hung up the phone.
The following observations of caller were made by writer:

Although Phoenix has determined one PETER A: FARLO was registered at the Hotel 6 and The Carefree Inn during the pertinent period, because of the inability of PARLO to furnish the identities of any persons who might be able to verify positively his exact whereabouts on the evening of 12/24/71, and the fact that certain aspects of his account of his where- abouts during his the month absence from the Elmira, N.

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 Ireland'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
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 particular 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, Portland, in Room 401.
