C. — (AP) — Police said today they doubt the authenticity of a letter received by the Vancouver Province suppos- edly from the man who para- chuted from a hijacked air- plane and escaped with $200,000 in ransom. The letter said a composite drawing of the hijacker's face, circulated throughout Canada and the United States, "does not represent the truth."
