Search for hijacker launched WOODLAND, wash. UPD FBI agents and police fanned out in the Cascade foothills today searching for the daring hijacker who. parachuted into the wilderness $200,000 ransom. "If he Is in the we'll dig him out of the woodwork somehow," an FBI spokesman promised. The FBI decided Thursday to set up search headquarters here for a "D.B.

Cooper," who pulled off the bizarre Thanksgiving Eve hijacking and parachuting and disappeared with the ransom. According to Linn Emrick, who supplied one of the four parachutes handed over to the hijacker, one of the two parachutes apparently used in the jump was inoperable. Emrick, of Sky Sports Issauah, said the 'chute was for ground practice only and the canopy was sewn shut. "I didn't know It when I went over, and picked it out," he said, However, most experienced parachutists would use the back pack first and Emrick's was the chest device. "We're either looking for a parachute or a hole in the ground," said Clark County Under Sheriff Tom McDowell.

The FBI said the suspect was about 6 feet tall, 175 pounds, with black hair and an olive complexion. A Northwest Airlines Boeing 727 was hijacked late Wednesday with 42 persons aboard on a flight from Portland, to Seattle, Wash. The methodical hijacker allowed the 36 passengers to disembark after he received the ransom and four parachutes. The described as middle-aged and "very relaxed," disappeared as the plane flew on from Seatlle-Tacoma In- ternational Airport to RenOi Ncv. 1 The F'BI said the search was being concentrated in the Cowiitz-Clark County area in southern Washington as a result of information provided by the crew and "strictly conjecture on our part." An FBI spokesman said the 75-squnre mile area was selected because the crew reported a slight shift in the plane's balance while over this farmland region.

Searchers were aided by helicopters and light planes. Two stewardesses were allowed to deplane with the passengers at Seattle-Tacoma, Two flight officers and a stewardess were locked up in a rear compartment while the pilot flew the aircraft to Nevada. He had told the pilot he wanted to fly to Mexico City. Uphill fight begins LONDON (UPD--The government began a tough uphill fight today to persuade skeptical world opinion and an angry British opposition that its peace settlement with Rhodesia was not a sellout. It told all British embassies abroad to insist that the terms were fully consistent with the so-called "five principles" laid down by successive British governments as a condition for recognizing Rhodesian independence.

The five principles called for guarantees of unimpeded progress towards ultimate rule by Rhodesia's black African majority population. These total five million compared with 250,000 whites. The terms announced by Britain and Rhodesia provided for an end to the breakaway colony's six-year-old rebellion and possibly, at some unspecified future date, transfer of power to its black African majority. Among the teams were: --Rhodesia's 1969 republican constitution will be amended. The present 16 African members of parliament will be increased gradually to 50, giving them numerical equality with the whites.

In addition, at some undetermined future date, 10 more members will be elected jointly by whites and Africans. --Rhodesia promised to make quick progress toward ending racial discrimination. --The Rhodesian will release 31 of the 93 Africans still held in detention. --Britain will give up to $12.5 million annually for 10 years in capital and technical assistance to Rhodesia's Africans. The fact no target date for African majority rule was given or even indicated was at once branded as a sellout by the British Labor party opposition and African nationalists.

British officials conceded the terms will not'be satisfactory to everyone. But they described them as "realistic" and said the choice lies between such a settlement and indefinite continuation of the present deadlock and economic sanctions against Rhodesia. Britain and Rhodesia Wednesday announced agreement to end the dispute which dates back to Rhodesia's unilateral declaration of independence from its mother country Nov. 11, 1965. The agreement came after 10 days of talks in the Rhodesian capital of Salisbury.

The government ordered a full-scale parliamentary debate'on the settlement next Wednesday to push its campaign to convince public opinion. Indications were that it would be difficult. Gilbert Lyon, a Labor party backbencher, branded the terms "a sellout." At the United Nations in New York, after Britain's delegate Sir Colin Crowe explained the agreement, Soviet Ambassador Yakov A. Malik denounced it as a "racist imperialist bargain." British officials said they full expected similar reaction from most U.N. African members.

Nixon seeks injunction WASHINGTON (UPD -The Justice Department, at President Nixon's request, sought today a Taft-Hartley injunction to send 45,000 striking longshoremen back to work at Atlantic and Gulf Coast docks. Nixon took time out from his Th'anksgiving celebration at the Western White House to order Attorney General John N. Mitchell to file for the injunction when federal courts opened today. "In my opinion, these unresolved labor disputes have resulted in strikes affecting a substantial part of the maritime industry of the United States these strikes, if permitted to continue, will imperil the national health and safety," the President told Mitchell in a letter. The 56-day-old strike by the International Longshoremen's Association (ILA) against the Council of North Atlantic Shipping Associations has closed ports from Sear- sport, to Brownsville, Tex.

It was only Nixon's second use of the 80- day back-to-work order that he supported as a California congressman in 1947, but now considers an unwieldy tool for labor relations. His only other use of the Taft-Hartley act came on Oct. 6 when he directed the Justice Department to seek an injunction against the International Longshoremen's and Warehousemen's Union (ILWU), which closed Pacific ports after a walkout July 1. The action against the ILWU followed by only a few days the beginning of the ILA strike, which resulted in the closing of every Atlantic, Pacific and Gulf port. The injunction covering 15,000 West Coast dock workers expires Dec.

24. Administration officials have said Nixon is reluctant to use the Taft-Hartley provisions because once an injunction has expired the government is powerless to prevent a resumption of the strike.

According to Deputy Sheriff H. C. Crowe, the investigating officer, Royster and Jones allegedly were fighting Joe Wayne Wells, 37, at Wells' gravel and dirt retail outlet on Mississippi Highway 61 south of here.

When two of Wells' employes started to help Wells, Colbert allegedly pointed a pistol at them. Royster and Jones then got back in the car in which Colbert was sitting and the three drove to Greenville where city police later apprehended them. The fight was reported to have started over an incident on the highway a few minutes before when Wells was supposed to have had the right-of-way at a traffic light, but was forced to yield it to Royster who was driving the other car. The three are free on $500 bond each. 8 Friday, Nov.

26,1971 Delta Democrat-Times Greenville, Mississippi join allies SAIGON (UPD -Two fresh South Vietnamese army regiments totaling about 5,500 troops joined the allied incursion into Cambodia today, but the first significant battle of the campaign erupted just east of the border in South Vietnam. Viet Cong attacked a South Vietnamese hilltop outpost eight miles from the border, hitting it first with mortar fire and then assaulting it with troops. In Cambodia, meanwhile, field reports indicated the South Vietnamese operation to destroy guerrilla sanctuaries was meeting little resistance. The two fresh regiments of the South Vietnamese army's 5th Infantry Division entered Cambodia between the Snuol and Mimot border towns about 80 miles north of Saigon. The U.S.

Army provided artillery support for the move, firing from the South Vietnamese side of the border, and also ferried supplies and some of the troops into Cambodia by plane and helicopter. The insertion of the two fresh regiments raised to an estimated 35,000 the number of South Vietnamese troops now iaside Cambodia in the five-day-old operation. --Public Service section, total --Women's Division, $70; total $2,010.50 Shelby men charged CLEVKLAND-Three Shelby men go Ixifnre Mrs. Willodenc Michie, Justice of the Peace, Monday on charges of assault and buttery (i ml pointing and aiming a deadly AUTO PARTS ACCESSORIES FAMOUS BRAND NAMES Daily 7 a.m.-8:00 p.m. Sun.

William Scott, said lie also communicated with the hijacker near the Washington-Oregon border. The FBI said tire hijacker tentatively was identified as "D.B. Cooper," Agents said they have not been able to amplify on the name.

They said he paid cash for a ticket at Portland. The jetliner, Flight 305, originally took off from Washington, D.C., and stopped at Minneapolis, Great Falls and Missoula, and Spokane, before down at Portland. The hijacker gave a note to a stewardess and showed her "two red cylinders with wires," officials said. The alleged bomb was in a suitcase. The man told the captain at Seattle that the crew and passengers would be killed if his demands for $200,000 and four parachutes were not met.

When Northwest acceded to his request, the plane took off on a southward course. Two Air Force jet planes tailed the commandeered airliner to Reno. Officers said the hijacker could have bailed out unnoticed because of the darkness and because the jetliner was flying so low. The plane fiew to Reno with its tail section exit steps open. It was a dramatic landing at Reno.

Hundreds of persons were gathered at the airport terminal. Scores of police and FBI agents surrounded the field. Upon landing the crew disembarked, but there were no signs of the bomb, the money, one of the four parachutes or B.
