"Sure he could have jumped out here," said the Portland agent. "We're trying to pinpoint where the guy dropped." Airline officials said the hi jacker was believed to have boarded the plane in Portland for Seattle on the last leg of a flight that originated in Washington, D.C. with parachute jumping said the type of parachute used by the hijacker would be a factor in the success of his attempt. The hijacker first ordered two parachutes, which were brought to the airport from MeChord Air Force Base. After the military chutes were delivered, the hijacker ordered two more.

Airlines officials did not say whether the hijacker specified particular parachutes, but the second set was obtained at a skydiving field east of Seattle. A sports chute, the federal official said, would allow a man to free fall several thousand feet before opening the parachute. A military model, though, must be opened with a static cord affixed to the airplane. It would pop the chute open after the jumper had fallen about 200 feet, he said. Three Air Force jets followed the hijacked airliner from Seattle to Reno.

Officials would not say whether the pilots had seen a chute open, but the federal spokesman indicated the hijacker could have dropped from the plane unobserved only if he had free fallen with the sport chute. Two of the four parachutes were found still on the plane when it landed Thursday night in Reno. BI officials refused to say what type of chutes they were. man who hijacked the Northwest Airlines jetliner Wednesday night apparently was quite familiar with aircraft and parachuting techniques, officials said Thursday, The hijacker, who received $200,000, is believed to have made an unprecedented escape by parachuting from the Boeing 727 as it flew from Seattle to Reno, Nev. A spokesman for the Boeing Co.

said the plane probably was the only type of commercial airliner from which such a parachute jump could be made successfully. The 727 has a passenger stair ramp that drops vertically from the tail of the plane. The hijacker ordered the plane to fly to Reno with the stairwell down. "It would be a very safe drop," said John Wheeler of the Boeing Co. "He'd be away from the flaps and other engines and go straight down." The hijacker ordered the crew to fly the plane at an altitude below 10,090 feet.

That altitude permitted the plane to fly with the cabin open and depress-urized. The hijacker also made certain the jet would be cruising at slower than normal speeds by ordering landing gear down and flaps canted.

Jack Keillor, Northwest Air line's district sales manager in Seattle, said the hijacker did not ask for any special bills when demanding the $200,000.

Keillor would not say what denomlna tions were given the hijacker. FBI and airlines officials re fused to say whether the cash was marked or whether serial numbers of the bills had been recorded. Keillor said only that Northwest obtained the money "through local financial re sources" in Seattle.

It suffers more from the din than most American cities because nearly every neighborhood is residential. "A single noisy motorcycle in the middle of the night can wake up 200,000 people," laments Pierr Godard, chief of hygiene and public safety of the Paris police.

"If tomorrow we had the best laws in the world, the best evidence-producing techniques, and the best court system, we would still have to work hard all the time to catch violators red-handed." New laws are coming, along with more coercive penalties. Police are seeking better ways to get evidence. "But, until then, we have to aboard. Puring the flight to Reno, all four crew members were locked in the plane's cockpit while the hijacker remained alone in the sale of all vehicles foreign or domestic that fail to meet noise-pollution standards.

The captain, William Scott of Minneapolis, said during the flight that indicator lights in the cockpit showed the rear stairwell was being operated.

A federal official in Seattle take the bull by the horns and said the tower had communicated with the crew about 20 minutes after the plane departed, but officials would not say prod noisemakers any way we can," Goddard declared. "And it isn't easy. You can't measure whether there was any further communication. Keillor said the noise in meters and liters. what the technicians say."
