The probability that all officers
and members of the crew of the
Coast Guard cutter Modoc will be
transferred to the replacement
ship due to arrive here in the early
summer was expressed last night
by Commander George Bower
man, ships captain.
The ship which is scheduled to

due to arrive around the first OF
July, Commander BoWerman said,
The new cutter was used by
Great Britain during the war un
der a lease arrangement and is
now undergoing repairs Ut the
Curtis Bay, Maryland, repair sta
ton.
Earlier this month Coast Guard
in Washington held out the
possibility that the Modoc, when
replaced, would be assigned to ice
patrol in the North Atlantic, but
Commander Bowerman declined
to comment upon these possibili-
ties. He did say, however, that the
Modoc would probably be trans
ferred to the Maryland base upon
being Withdrawn from service at
the local station.
