Among the 500 college

firm handshakes at
the "Challenge '84"
job fair, D. J. Em- .
manuelson, a 20-year-old eco-
nomics and French major
from Washington and Lee
University wearing a blue suit
and a "yes, ma'am" demean- i
or, was a hot prospect for re-
cruiter Cecelia Velar Walker.
She was spending a tiring
morning in Lynchburg, Va.,
170 miles from her home of-
fice, fielding questions from
waves of ultmpreppie stu-
dents who knew virtually no-
thing about her firm except
that it was hiring. When
young D. J. (Dwight Jr.)
stuck out .his hand, Walker,
who works for a powerful in-
ternational firm known sim-
ply
'
ply EIS "The Company," broke
into the guarded smile of a
major league baseball scout
who has discovered -a young i
Fernando Valenzuela in a '
1
sandlot baseball game. 1
Twelve years ago, Walker
was a Pittsburgh secretary.
Then a recruiter plucked her
away .,to suburban Virginia
with promises of a career she
has never regretted. D. J.
Emmanuelson now ap-
proached her with a delicious
list of analytical and language ,
skills, and she didn't want
him to get away. "You in all
probability would make a
great candidate for our career
training program," Walker
burbled. Call her anytime.

LLOYD DOBYNS: Our story is about spies, and the
location is here in Vienna.
There are a lot of spies in Vienna., ours and theirs.
This story is about one of ours pretending to be one of theirs.
His name was Nicholas Shadrin. He defected from the Soviet Union
in 1959 and disappeared from Vienna in 1975. The question is:
Was he kidnapped by the KGB, or did the CIA give him to them? We
don't have the answer, but looking for it has made a fascinating
story.
We know that story ended on Demceber 20th, 1975 in
Vienna. A naturalized American citizen was missing, and no one
seemed to want to find him.
In 1959 Nicholas Shadrin, the youngest destroyer
commander in the Soviet Navy, defected. He and Eva Gore (?)
crossed the Baltic from Poland to Sweden in an open boat, an
amazing bit of seamanship by Shadrin and a dreadful political
embarrassment for the Soviets.
They stayed briefly in Sweden. Mrs. Shadrin remembers
that when they decided to come to the United States, a Swedish
Navy commander warned them that the Americans were as callous as
the Soviets and would use and abandon Nick.
Their first stop in the United States was a CIA safe-
house on Maryland's Eastern Shore. Nick Shadrin became friendly
with the man who ran it, Pete Sivess (1). .
