BURT advised he is the owner of this business and works in conjunction with movie studios in aerial photography. He has been at this location for the past three years and has been in Hollywood, California for the past 8 years.
BURT stated he was, during 1948, a smoke jumper in the northwest and was a charter member of the Seattle Parachute Club in 1950. During that period of time he was employed by the Standard Oil Company and worked on board ships with Seattle being his home port.

He added that after being made aware of the physical description of the hijacker he discounted WHITE as a possible suspect as he was less than 30 years old and was 6'3" in height.

close resemblance to descriptive data furnished regarding the unknown subject in this matter and further appears to be a reputable businessman.

Records of the Los Angeles Police Department (LAPD), and Los Angeles County Sheriff's Office (LASO), as well as those of the Credit Bureau of Greater Los Angeles and Dun and Bradstreet, contain no derogatory information concerning BURT.

As BURT does not appear to match physical characteristics of the unknown subject in this matter as furnished by witnesses and apparently is a reputable businessman, he does not appear to warrant consideration as a logical suspect in this matter and no further investigation is being conducted by Los Angeles at this time, unless advised to the contrary by Seattle.
