The ramming took place at" the entrance to New York harbor at 4:04 a.m.

The Ambrose reported to the Coast Guard that despite a 20- degree list it was holding its own, pumping fuel and water overboard to remain afloat. The heavy fog which blanketed the harbor had delayed the arrival yesterday of the French liners Ile de France and De Grasse. And the outgoing Cunard White Star Liner Queen Elizabeth was forced to anchor outside the harbor overnight waiting for the fog to lift. The Coast Guard said it was the third time in recent that a ship has struck the Ambrose Lightship. No one was injured in any of the collisions.

The most recent occurred about six months ago during a dense fog. "Such accidents are bound to happen, since the lightship is stationed at the entrance of the busiest harbor in the world," a Coast Guard spokesman said.

The plan, changed several times during the time of waiting for skies to clear, was to fly to Liberty, N.

and there make contact by radio with a Park Department station wagon on ground manned by two WaIter Department experts watchling the clouds from below. When the right cloud has been located, word will be passed to the plane, from which the dry ice pellets will then be "sown" or "seeded." If rain should follow, Dr. Howell said, it might be the result of rainmaking. But he was careful to point out that it might not be. There had been intermittent showers, with the aid of rainmaking, in the watershed area all morning.

Today's was the first actual attempt to produce man-made rain in New York. The eight-passenger plane carried fuel for three hours, and the plan to land it, when the fuel was near exhaustion, at Scranton, or Binghamton, for refueling before the return to Brooklyn. Examines Reports During the morning, Dr. Howell sped by automobile La Guardia Field for a quick examination of the latest weather bulletins there. Then he returned and waited for the rain to stop and the fog to lift.

That occurred about 11:30 a.m. The forecast locally was for scattered showers today, with clearing in the afternoon and temperatures rising to between 65 and 70-relatively warmbut a drop to the mid-40s dawn tomorrow. Showers were predicted for the watershed, which would not in itself interfere with the rainmaking experiment. At City Hall, meanwhile, was disclosed reservoirs rose to 143,759,000,000 galIons at 8 a.m., or 56.8 percent of capacity--a 24-hour increase of 2,275,000,000 gallons. A year ago they had 93.9 percent It was just two weeks ago that the Board of Estimate voted $50,000 for the artificial rain-making operation.

The operation is to run over a sixmonth period and cover a mile-square area. Howell explained that the dry ice to be dumped into the clouds will be in cakes one-fourth one-half inch in diameter. Uses Little Chute "You can dump dry ice into the cloud with a kitchen cup from a cardboard carton and will work," Howell said. "But" we will use little chutes. Each plane will carry a generator silver iodide, if we need it.

We'll fly over the clouds and sow the dry ice into them." The principle of dropping the ice into the clouds, he plained, is to chill the water the clouds and make it heavy enough to fall in the form snow or rain. Howell reassured worried farmers and resort owners that he had no intention of starting floods with his artificial rain storms. "We have no intention flooding people out," he said. "Floods are caused by a series of storms, rarely by one storm."
