SUBJECT: NORJAK
BOB :MATHESON, SOG, called and advised that
a Lab Report was enroute to Seattle reflecting that the
photo of the alleged ransome bill printed on Page 2 of
the Seattle Flag newspaper has been examined with the
microfilm record of the true ransome bill and determined
by the Lab not to be the true ransome bill.

I called SA ROBERT MATHESON at the Bureau on 5/5/72. I told
him that obviously this matter was basically a fraud and in view
of this we planned on interviewing a person at the SEATTLE FLAG
to determine the source of the story, advising him that the bill
was a forgery and seek the identity of the person interviewed.
If he declined, then we contemplated having a subpoena served
on him to appear before the grand jury.
