RE: SUSPECT RAY MATHIS

On 2/23/72, [REDACTED] California, tele- phone [REDACTED] (Conceal per Request), advised RAY MATHIS should be considered a possible suspect in this matter. MATHIS was a pilot for WAL for one and a half years until "fired" about two or three years ago, for his check writing activities.

MATHIS is described as white male, age 34-35, 5'10", 165-170 pounds, slight receding hair, sandy or light brown in color.

MATHIS described as having ears which were recalled as being larger than those depicted in the artist sketch of the hijacker.

MATHIS was last known to reside in the San Francisco area, and WAL, San Francisco would have back- ground concerning him.
