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 did cash a $50.00 check about six months ago using his old WAL identification.

[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.
