Army rejoins hunt for air hijacker WOODLAND, Cowlitz County — (AP) — Army troops were back on the job today, helping the Federal Bureau of Investigation search the area around Lake Merwin for a skyjacker who commandeered a jetliner last Thanksgiving Eve. An Army spokesman said about 200 troops of the 3rd Armored Cavalry Regi- ment were helping search for a hijacker who gave his name as D.B. Cooper. The skyjacker took over an airliner on a flight from Portland to Seattle. He is be- lieved to have parachuted over Southwest Washington. The troops on hand today made up "Essentially the same task force that was down there" when the search was resumed recent- ly, an Army spokesman at Fort Lewis, where the troops are stationed, said.
