PAGE FOUR MARKETS AND FINANCE Ship's Hull Cracked By Pacific Gale 6EATTLE tP) The 8.000-lon freighter Trader cracked Its hull in high seas and a North Pacific gale early Wednesday but Its cap tain radioed the crew made emer gency repairs and the ship was heading toward port under Us own power. The Coast Guard said there was 'no Immediate danger" ior the steel-hulled hip and its 48-man crew. The cutter Klamath was dtpatched from here and a Can adian weather ship was reported only 3(1 miles from the scene. The Trader, en route to Yaqulna Bay, Ore., trom Yokaliomu, ra dioed it was bucking hsnvy seas in a SO-nule-au hour wind but was making about 7 knots, A falling barometer presaged a continuance of rough weather. The position was given as about 810 miles west by north of Cape Flattery; Wash., the nearest land point. , Tnc Coast Guard said the first distress call from the Trader re ported a nine-iooi-luug crack, ex tending lrom the hatch combing and down the side three plates. A later message said the crew had welded angle Irons across the crack Inside the hull, and there was "no immediate danger." A Coast Guard spokesman Bald tho crack apparently extended about nine feet down the side of the ship, but ended above the walerline. There was no Indica tion of its width. The vessel was believed loaded only with ballast. The .steel-hulled Trader, built In 1943 or 1944 at Tuscaloola, Miss., Is registered to Poprt and Talbot, inc., of California.

Wl Russia agreed Wednesday to take part In arrangements for an in ternational scientific conference planned as part of President Elsen hower's atoms-for-pcace program. At the same time, Soviet Deputy Foreign Minister Andrei Y. Vlsh insky told the General Assembly's 60-natlon political Committee that East-West negotiations still were In progress on plans for a world agency to sponsor the peaceful us es of atomic energy. Vlshtnsky declared he had the feeling that both sides were mak ing every effort to eliminate their differences. He cautioned against speed. The Soviet delegate, however, dashed some of the optimism ex pressed earlier by insisting at length that the proposed agency must be responsible to the U.N. Security Council where Russia has the voto. Atom Physicist Wins New Award WASHINGTON W - Italian born physicist Enrico Fermi, who pioneered in ihe development of the first atomic bomb.

The 43-year-old ex-movie star opened an engagement at the Mo- cambo, singing such songs sne made famous in early talkie must csls as "Honey," "Sing, You Sin r.ers" and "If I Could Be Wltn You." Celebrities headed by Prince Alex of Denmark wildly cheered her first Hollywood appearance since she conquered an addiction to the bottle. It was a struggle re lated about a year ago to a nation wide audience on TV's "This Is Your Life" and more recently in her best selling autobiography, "I'll Cry Tomorrow." Ringslders applauding her in cluded Jimmy Durante, movie pro ducers Joe Pasternak and Henry Ginsberg, "This Is Your Life ' pro ducer Ralph Edwards Ed (Duffy's Tavern) Gardner, golfer Frank Stranahan and Arthur Loew Jr. of the theatrical family. Durante remarked; "I'm clap ping for a great performer, not just someone who licked booze." Miss Roth in her act never men tioned the drinking problem, that once nearly drove her to suicide. It was a happy stint based on a professional background of many years In show business.
