Re: UNSUB; [REDACTED] - SOURCE

---

On 4/27/72 SA [REDACTED] of the New York Division, who is currently assigned the NORJAK case, telephonically contacted the Seattle Office to relate that he got the impression from talking to Newsweek Magazine representatives, that they more than likely would try to hold off making available [REDACTED] "D.B. COOPER" until a subpoena is obtained, although New York is still trying to obtain these items for review by FBI personnel.

---

[REDACTED] further advised that [REDACTED] to the New York Office [REDACTED] and one copy sent to the Bureau, but none to Seattle. [REDACTED]

---

In addition, New York is sending to Seattle via Los Angeles, 20 pictures of "D.B. COOPER" without a wig which show very prominently a round depression-scar on the forehead. [REDACTED] noted that in listing a contact number, FLEMING used the unlisted telephone number 212-371-8684, an unlisted telephone number assigned to room of MAX PALEVSKY in the Sherry Netherlands Hotel, 59th Street and 5th Avenue, New York City.

---

The New York Division is currently attempting to develop background information on PALEVSKY.

[REDACTED] stated that from what FLEMING stated in his interview with New York Agents, he got the impression that [REDACTED] and "D.B. COOPER" lived in the same general area.

---

FLEMING stated that he came to the Edgewater Inn, Seattle, on Sunday 2/20/72 and it was on that day that he paid [REDACTED] in the presence of "COOPER."
