killer suspect infamous D.B. Cooper?
Associated Press
SEATTLE .- An FBI agent who 'investigated the D.B. Cooper skyjacking said Friday there are a number of similarities between Cooper and a man recently arrested in an 18-year- old New Jersey multiple murder case.
Ralph Himmelsbach, who retired in 1980, said Friday that he believes "Cooper" died when he parachuted from a Boeing 727 over southwest Washington in 1971 with $200,000 in ransom.
Ralph Himmelsbach, who retired in 1980, said Friday that he believes "Cooper" died when he parachuted from a Boeing 727 over southwest Washington in 1971 with $200,000 in ransom. But Himmelsbach, who led the Cooper investigation, still believes John E. List should be investigated.
"I would say he's a major suspect or, at least, I would consider him a major suspect," Himmelsbach said.
As a fugitive after the killings of five members of his family, List was considered a suspect in the skyjacking from the beginning, Himmelsbach said.
Descriptions of List and Cooper are similar. Both are accused of bizarre crimes, and a fugitive from a mass murder has nothing to lose, Himmelsbach said.
A man police said is List was arrested June 1 in Richmond, Va., after the television show "America's Most Wanted" ran a program on the "ballroom murders" in November 1971. List's wife, his 87-year-old mother and his three children were shot to death in their Westfield, N.J., mansion.

Although the man known as Clark denies he is List, authorities said fingerprints and a scar prove Clark and List are the same man.
Authorities said List fled to Colorado and then
Virginia and had built a new life.
FBI spokesman John Eyer in Seattle said Thursday that List was being investigated in the skyjacking, but said it was routine.
David Baugh, List's lawyer in Richmond before he was returned to New Jersey, compared the alleged connection to reported sightings of Elvis Presley.Tights enley merely sought to "fine-tune" it.

Ulike Reagan and his attorneys general, Bush and Thornburgh have opened their doors to civil rights leaders and listened to their complaints and proposals. Bush has asked for more money for black colleges and universities, as well as Head Start and adult literacy programs, and he supports legislation to extend civil rights guarantees to 36 million handicapped Americans.
Cause
From page. 1A
Stoner, 65, was convicted in a 1977 trial publicized throughout the nation for the 1958 bombing of the black Bethel Baptist Church in Birmingham, Ala. - a focal point of the civil rights movement. The church was unoccupied at the time. He was sentenced to 10 years in prison and served 31/2 years before his release in 1986.

Stoner, who was a Georgia gubernatorial candidate in 1970, and ran for U.S. Senate in Georgia in 1980 on a platform of shipping blacks to Africa and confiscating all ill-gotten Jewish wealth, said he wasn't currently a member of the KKK, but had been asked to come and speak.

On Friday, Stoner was accompanied by a man who identified himself as a member of the KKK.
A West Palm Beach police officer kept an eye on the activity from his car.
The Klan's announcement that it would burn a 50-foot cross west of Lantana has drawn sharp criticism from community groups, some which will hold their own rallies.

About 300 people are expected to attend an interracial unity and solidarity demonstration at. Jose Marti Park in West Palm Beach - about a mile down the road from where Stoner spoke Friday - that's been organized by SHARP (Stop Hatred and Racism in the Palm Beaches).
The group hopes to draw support from across the state to speak out against violence and hatred. The demonstration starts at 5 p.m.

"I am confident that we will succeed," Bush said of the campaign to amend the Constitution for the first time since 1971, when 18-year-olds were granted the right to vote. "I've seen predictions that this will take a long time. It need not."
The proposed amendment would nullify last week's Supreme Court ruling that flag- burning is protected under the First Amendment right to free expression. If approved, it would be the first amendment to the Bill of Rights.
The amendment is . being sponsored in the Senate by Republican Leader Robert Dole of Kansas and Democrat Alan Dixon of Illinois, and in the House, by GOP leader Robert Michel of Illinois and Democratic Rep. G.V. "'Sonny'' Montgomery of Mississippi.
The sponsors joined Bush at Friday's ceremony, beneath the flag fluttering on atop the statute. More flags flanked the memorial, and many in the audience waved tiny flags.

Is he D.B. Cooper? Not likely
John List, 64, stands accused of murdering his mother, wife and three teen-aged children in New Jersey but he probably is not D.B. Cooper, the legendary Northwest' airplane hijacker, a New Jersey official said yesterday.
"We believe he was in Denver at the time of the hijacking," said Capt. Frank Marranca of the Union County, N.J., prosecutor's office.
- The hijacking of a Northwest Airlines jet and Cooper's escape by parachute with $200,000 in ransom took place on Nov. 24, 1971. List disappeared Nov. 9, 1971, and the bodies of his family members were found a month later.
Cooper has never been found although some money from the hijacking was found in February of 1980 along the banks of the Columbia River. >The FBI believes Cooper may have died in the parachute jump into rough country.
List was arrested June 1 in Virginia, after eluding authorities for 18 years.
