The Daily News Longview. Washington Friday. November 26. 1971 Just booking drunks costs Spokane $47,655 in year: She thinks there's better way oioo WASH. Portland NEVADA I SPOKANE, Wash.

(AP) A yearlong survey by a Spokane Municipal Court judge revealed it cost the city $47,655 just to book into jail 5,295 persons for public drunkenness. Judge Kathryn Ann Mautz, who says drinking is a sickness and not a criminal offense, released Thursday the figures from the survey she took during the period from Nov. 1, 1970 to Nov. 1, 1971. There were 1,388 men and 90 women processed, she said.

Figures showed 703 men and 57 women were arrested only once, that 229 men and 33 women were arrested twice and that 456 men were arrested three or more times. The booking cost does not include court, clerical or police time, she said. The amount represents only the $9 the city pays the city-county jail for booking a prisoner in and the $6 per day fee after the first day. Judge Mautz said persons arrested for drunkenness ranged in age from 19 to 90. She said 47V2 per cent of the 90 women were Indians and 52 per cent were under 40 years of age.

Twenty-six had grade school or less education, 31 had been to high school and 15 completed high school. Only five had any college training. Of the 685 male repeat offenders, 23 per cent were Indians, 44 per cent had elementary or less education, 27 per cent had been to high school, 22 per cent finished high school and five per cent had college training. The median income of 43 per cent of the male arrests had median incomes of less than $110 per month, Judge Mautz said. Her survey also showed that during one six-week period, more than 50 per cent of those arrested were either physically or medically disabled.

Judge Mautz has been working with other Spokane groups in attempting to set up a detoxification center which would allow drunks to be treated instead of jailed.

(AP) Authorities searched by ground and air Friday for a briefcase-carrying hijacker who matched his businesslike appearance with a precision plot for an apparently successful escape by parachute. Military and privately owned helicopters flew above the mixed farming areas and timberland around Woodland, 25 miles north of here, but authorities held out little hope the hijacker would be found. "He's probably long gone," a Clark County sheriff's deputy said. The hijacker, described as a swarthy middle-aged man of Latin American appearance, boarded a Northwest Airlines jet Wednesday and gave precise orders that allowed his unprecedented escape with $200,000 ransom money. The man, who wore a business suit and dark raincoat, was described as LOS ANGELES (AP) Lockheed Shipbuilding and Construction Co.

has denied that it tried to hide evidence from a state investigation into the Sylmer tunnel explosion that killed 17 workmen last June. The Seattle-based subsidiary of Lockheed Aircraft contractor on the tunnel, said Thursday a gas testing device was removed from the tunnel by its chief engineer, Otha G. Ree and locked up for safekeeping. Kee was arrested in Seattle Wednesday and charged with entering the tunnel illegally to remove the gas tester. He was held on $100,000 bail.

A company spokesman said the gas-testing device was later forwarded to the U.S. Bureau of Mine Safety "some time August," He said the state Division of Industrial Safety was not immediately notified when the device was found but said it was told when the equipment was sent to federal officials. "There was no intent to circumvent requirements of the itate Division of Industrial Safety or to withhold evidence," said a statement released in Los Angeles by Lockheed. Some investigators in the tunnel, part of California's $10-billion water project, may have been caused by accumulating natural gas. The criminal complaint on which Ree was arrested was issued by the Los Angeles city attorney's office and also names the Lockheed subsidiary.

"He'd be away from the flaps and other engines and go straight down." The 727 is one of the few commercial aircraft models with an exit at its extreme rear, under the trail. Two of the 'chutes delivered to the hijacker were military types and two were sport parachutes.

The military 'chutes normally operate with a static line which rips them open almost immediately after the jumper leaves his aircraft. The sports 'chutes permit a free fall until the jumper himself decides to release them. Officials said three Air Force planes trailed the 727 after it left Seattle, but they refused to say whether a parachute was seen. They did say that a man using a sports parachute in a free fall could easily have been missed. The hijacker confined Scott, flight officers William Rataczak and H.

E. Anderson and stewardess Tina Muck-low in the cockpit after the 727 reached flight altitude on leaving Seattle. He remained alone in the passenger compartment, where the temperature dropped to 7 degrees below zero with the rear entry door open. His last communication with the crew came shortly after 8 p.m. Wednesday and he is believed to have bailed out of the aircraft at about 8:13 p.m., the FBI said.

That would have been 36 minutes after liftoff at Seattle. The Clark County sheriff's office said that if the hijacker had indeed bailed out at 8:13 p.m. he would have landed between the two hamlets of View and Ariel, Wash.

FBI Special Agent Harold Campbell said in Las Vegas, Nev. that one of two chutes found onboard the Boeing 727 when it landed without the hijacker in Reno, had been opened. But Campbell said the FBI had not determined whether the remaining chute was the unusable training model.

Cossey said he had packed the other three chutes and was sure they were functional. It was uie ursi unie an ancian Hijacker had used a parachute to make his escape and it was the largest sum of money an air pirate had ever escaped with in the United States. Described as a tall, slim man in his mid 40s, the hijacker took control of the three-engine jetliner Wednesday as it flew from Portland to Seattle on the last leg of a flight originating in Washington, D.C. He told a stewardess he had a bomb and that he wanted to go to Mexico. He also demanded four parachutes and $200,000.

The FBI said he had used the name D. B. Cooper when he boarded the plane in Portland. "That's the name he used when he bought his ticket," an FBI agent said. "But he's probably no more D.

B. Cooper than I am." When the parachutes and' the cash were delivered to him at Seattle-Ta-coma International Airport, he allowed the 36 other passengers and two stewardesses to debark. The pilot, Capt William Scott, and three other crew members were ordered to remain aboard. Airborne for a refueling at' Reno, the hijacker ordered Scott to fly no higher than 10,000 feet, with flaps and landing gear down to keep the airliner's speed at about 200 miles per hour. He also directed that the rear exit door of the 727 be left open, with the stairs extended as they would be in taking on or discharging passengers on the ground.

And somewhere between Seattle and Reno he departed. Also gone were the $200,000 and two of the four parachutes he had been given. Scott said during the flight that indicator lights in the cockpit showed the rear stairwell was being operated. Airline and Boeing officials explained that the low flight would per "very cool" by airline officials. He ordered the plane to fly low and slow to Reno, from Seattle, locked the four crew members in the cockpit, then bailed out when the craft's rear stairwell was lowered at his orders.

Clark County Sheriff Eugene Cotton said the hijacker is believed to have escaped "almost immediately" after the Boeing 727's rear door was opened. The plane's pilot said "instruments showed some turbulence at that time." An air search in the Woodland area Thursday was called off when bad weather set in. In a related development, the supplier of four parachutes delivered to the hijacker revealed Thursday night that one of the reserve chutes was a ground training model that could not have opened. er information were found, the Clatsop County sheriff's office said. The six apparently were en route to North Bend, to spend Thanksgiving with Mrs.
