FBI AGENTS RESUME HUNT FOR 'COOPER'

WOODLAND, Wash. (UPI) — FBI agents have resumed the hunt for parachuting hi- jacker "D. B. Cooper" in this farm area where he disap- peared 18 months ago, the Portland (Ore.) Journal said Monday.

The newspaper said several residents of the Woodland dis- trict had notified it that feder- al agents were again search- ing for the skyjacker.

Asked about the report, an FBI agent said the search might relate only to "a part of the continuing investigation in the 'D. B. Cooper' case."

A man who signed the flight manifest as "Cooper" hi- jacked a Seattle-bound jetliner in 1971 and obtained a $200,000 ransom. He parachuted from the back door of the 727 with- out leaving a trace.

Authorities have searched this area across the Columbia River from Oregon several times in the past without suc- cess.
