Reports from Paris said Soviet Foreign Minister Molotov has in- dicated he is willing to leave a meeting of Soviet bloc leaders in Warsaw and meet the Western for- eign ministers in Vienna Saturday or Sunday.

May Have Solution To Ships' Barnacle Trouble

D1 ALVIN STEINKOPF

Ln). l)t)N nil”: - A group of British scientists b a l I e v e that barnacles. which attach them-

selves to the bottoms of ships. have been oulvtitted at last.

Fiarnacies are a kind of shell- fish. averaging pcrhaps half an inch in diameter. it appears the) don't like vibration and sound. Tests have indicated that if the steel hull of a ship is made to hum and tremble. a swimming barnacle will look around for a quieter spot.

Experiments also seem to estab- lish that the vibrations may be sn slight that a human being can- not detect them. with the sound pitched so high as to be beyond the range of the human ear. A structure like a ship or a metal. object under water. which to al man seem to be perfectly quietl and stationary. apparently can be made intolerahly noisy and full of commotion to a barnacle.

On the basis of data asscniblcd In the British Shipbuilding Re- search Association. a device to cause tiny vibrations and "silent aound" has been made by a mar- ine construction firm. A steel plate supporting a generator and a ”transducer'' is attached to the inside of a shipls hull. and a switch is thrown. Barnacles seem to lose interest in the ship.

The device has been tried on a email ship and on the l7.t)tKi-hm liner Warwick Castle.

Ilnrnacles have plagued mariti- Irs through the centuries. Bodies of barnaclas form a crust around the bulls of ships. reducing their upnecland requiring much more power in drive on their coiirses.

As a result of the tug strike. the Donaldson Line of Glasgow sn- nounced the cancellation of the first call at Liverpool of the liner Captain Cook on a new transat- lantic passenger service.

The 18.000-ton ship was due to berth here Wednesda to land 219 passengers from Montreal. In- stead. she will sail to Glasgow where all 507 passengers will be disembarked.

The Cunard 22.000-ton transat- lantic liner Saxonia, now waiting outside the port. plans to move to a landing stage tonight.

There she will embark passen- gers for the return voyage to Mont- real Thursday. but she probably will have to take her 900 tons of cargo hack to Canada.
