SAC J.E. MILNES

On 4/22/72 I called SA [REDACTED] Portland, who advised the photo of the individual wearing the black and white knitted hat, was shown to the ticket seller and to the loading clerk at Portland, both of whom went right by the picture. He advised the same photo was sent to the Eugene RA, via pilot courier, but the picture was mis-sent to San Francisco and is being returned today at 2:00 PM.

---

I later talked to SA [REDACTED] in Eugene. He advised that witness [REDACTED] had been called at 2:00 AM on 4/22/72 by a [REDACTED] Newsweek Magazine who insisted on seeing him. He showed him an 8x10 glossy photo of a man wearing a coat or sweater, dark pants, sunglasses with wire rims, his arms appeared to be close to one another as though he were wearing cuffs, but his hands could not be seen since they were off the picture. He appeared to be on the street, close to a curb, between 2 cars but the license plates and the names on the store fronts were smeared deliberately. While [REDACTED] the witness, said that he told [REDACTED] it had been so long, he couldn't remember what the hijacker looked like, he did tell [REDACTED] it was the best likeness he had seen. [REDACTED] advised that the photo was arriving from San Francisco at 2:00 PM today. He had an appointment to see [REDACTED] at 2:15 PM, would show the picture to him and would call the office.

---

I told him also that another picture was coming from Washington today and when that picture arrived, I would like to have it shown to [REDACTED] as soon as possible and resul-s furnished to us.
