RE: [REDACTED] SUSPECT

---

Supervisor MATHEISON called from the Bureau.

He said that this [REDACTED] had the Bureau somewhat excited since the Laboratory had just compared a letter which they got from the files of the Airlines Pilots Association with the typing on the [REDACTED] letters which were sent to the WASHINGTON POST and several other newspapers.

---

The Lab report says that this is the same style of type and certain limited characteristics suggest the possibility that they may have been prepared on the same typewriter. For this reason they want us to check him out today, if possible, and advise the Bureau by telephone or teletype.

---

I advised SA [REDACTED] to call Spokane and Everett and to check with [REDACTED] and get all investiga- tion done today. It appears he is still [REDACTED] employee and company records may show where he was on the day in question.
