looking blue voile.
Where was he going next. the
good looking envoy was asked.
Despite his 30-odd years In the

spent as an ambassador. Jeffer-
son Caffery has kept his slim
figure and that dapper look as
well as the ability to handle the
toughest jobs that have been
thrown at him.
He wouldn't say where his next
assignment will be: that an
nouncement, Of course, will have
to come from the White House.
But another guest at the party,
an ex-ambassador, said that Egypt
was understood to be his destina-

Vessel Will Try To
 Salvage Many Ships In Alaskan Waters

{ SEATTLE, lP)-A specially de- signed heaVy-duty salvage vessel, l the Kodiak Salvor, will leave here
 within the next 10 days in search of ships lost in war action or storms in Alaskan waters. I OWne' Robert o. Fleming said the Kodiak Salvor was a former navy LCT and that it was con- verted for salvage duty at cost of $l00 900.
 Fleming said Alaskan waters were graveyard for ships and cargoes of all types. He said Capt. Balfour C.. Logan, salvage master, will be in charge of operations. Robert Guld will be skipper of the vessel.
 They will take a look at the possibilities of raising the Alaska Railroad barge which broke in two and sank with S700,000 car go last summer near Cape Spen- cer, Fleming said. The Kodiak Salvor will also seek several Japanese freighters sunk in the Aleutians early in the war.
 Fleming said the ship will re- main in Alaska the year around, basing at Cordova in winter and Kodiak in the summer.
 Fleming is marine insurance broker and heads the Kodiak Aleutian Salvage company which will operate the Kodiak Salvor.
