DIRECTOR, FBI (164-2111) ATTENTION: LABORATORY

SAC, PORTLAND (164-41)(P)

NORJAK

---

Enclosed herewith for the Laboratory is the man's narrow black necktie with attached tie clip which was found by Las Vegas Agents in hijacked aircraft in this matter and which was believed worn by Unsub.

Enclosures have been displayed to J.C. Penney Co., store personnel at Las Vegas, Nevada, and Portland, Oregon. All personnel contacted uniformly agree that the tie, which bore the "Towncraft" label, exclusive with Penney's, could not have been sold at any time in the recent past. At Las Vegas, the most recent sales of such ties were estimated at one and one-half years ago, and at Portland, three years ago. None of the persons contacted were able to offer any suggestions as to how the purchaser of the tie might possibly be traced.
