Re Los Angeles teletype, 2/24/72.

Enclosed for Seattle are six (6) photographs of RAY MATHES.

---

On 3/9/72, [REDACTED], Western Air Lines (WAL), San Francisco International Airport (SFIA), advised that RAY MATHES, true name SAMUEL RHEA MATHES, resigned on 8/8/68. He is not eligible for rehire. MATHES was employed as a pilot by WAL, but had financial difficul- ties and passed some non-sufficient fund checks using WAL identification. MATHES did cash a $50.00 check about six months ago using his old WAL identification.

---

[REDACTED] advised that WAL is interested in locating MATHES, but he has not been able to obtain a current address or location as MATHES is continually on the move. [REDACTED] stated he did not know how to contact MATHES and had not been able to locate any former friend or acquaintance who knew his present address.

---

[REDACTED] advised that records of WAL describe MATHES as follows:

Race White Sex Male DOB 8/1/41 Height 5'11" Hair Brown Eyes Brown SSAN 226-62-1521 Address (1966-68) 17001 Pacific Highway South Seattle, Washington

On 3/15/72, [REDACTED] made available a small identi- fication photo of MATHES, six copies of which are enclosed. Inasmuch as WAL, SFIA, has no information concerning the current whereabouts of MATHES, display of these photos to available witnesses will determine the necessity of setting forth leads from above information and any such leads are being left to the discretion of the Seattle Office.
