Washington Tower
Sinking, Declared
Monument Safe, Though;
Pisa Found to Lean
Different Ways
NEW HAVEN. Conn., March-17
-(fl3) Washington monument is
sinking and Pisa's leaning tower
is swaying both in . very slow
motion.
These reports were made to
day at a "clinic on sick struc
tures" held by the Connecticut
academy of arts and sciences.
Prof. Dimitri P. Krynine, research
associate in soil mechanics at Yale
university, reported the diagnosis.
Washington monument, he
said, is safe, although afflicted
with a slight foot disorder. Re
cently developed instruments that
measure movement invisible to
the eye show the monument Is
settling' slowly. 'A layer of clay,
10 to 40 feet thick, far below
the monument, is compressing
like a sponge.
The leaning tower of Pisa was
studied with an inclinometer de
signed by Glrometti-Banechi.
Pisa Study Startling
"The results were almost in
credible," Dr. Krynine said, "du
ring September, 1934, the tower
moved north; but at the end of
that month turned around and
moved south. This continued up
to the end of January when the
no .snt toward the north start
persistently moving eastward.
Detection of movements of
baUdings is anew safety factor to
prevent ultimate collapse or weaa-
entng. in case of the tower 01
