Workmen Find -Concrete Vault Tough To Break Honolulu (U.R) Stern-faced vice presidents at the downtown branch of the Bank of Hawaii wish they'd never heard of the adage, "An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure." The "ounce" in their case came shortly after the Japanese Domoed nearby Pearl Harbor in 1941. Officials decided then to fashion a 15-foot thick, rein forced concrete top on the bank that could withstand a direct bomb hit. The concrete was reinforced with steel railroad tracks, steel ties, and odd ends of metal, like nuts in a fruit cake. But now bank officials wish the bomb proof topping wasn't so thick be cause it s being removed tn make way for a customers' drive way. Workmen, to put it mildly, are finding it a "rough go." Wrecking crews began tack ling the back-breaking job last Aug. 1, optimistically setting the finishing date for the middle of September. In November work ers were stili hammering away at- the stubborn roof. They tried dynamite, but that Frustration Puts. Tunnel Designer Among Best Known New Orleans (U.R) Frus tration by highway a fairly common malady among motor ists was the factor that has placed Wayne F. Palmer among the well-known designers of tunnels. Palmer, of Mobile, Ala., and New Orleans, got the spark that started him on his career special ty one day in 1938 when he was driving to Mobile. He arrived in sight of the city not more than mile across the Mobile River, then found he had to detour eight miles to get into town. This led Palmer to decide that an underwater tunnel might be the answer to Mobile's need for a river crossing. Palmer worked out an idea on paper calling for a vehicular tunnel to be built under the riv er. He estimated the job would cost about S4. 000,000. Fourteen months later, the Bankhead Tun nel was completed at a cost of 54,080,000. It still is in service and tolls have paid its cost sev eral times over. "We believe we perfected the trench-type tunnel, which was relatively new at the time of the Bankhead Tunnel," Palmer said. On such tunnels we don't have to use high-paid sandhogs," he explained. "We don't have to go to the depth of air-driven tunnels. We can build a tunnel for the smaller community which iust can't afford the expensive jobs of the big city." in a ouin-uo area, he said, a Rome (U.Ri The noise forced 14 -year -old Renzo Colombini away from his books. He was pale and thin from not enough sun and too much reading and studying. He knew already he was a poet, and on that day of the noise. Nov. 4, 1918, Renzo saw enthusiastic persons embracing in the streets, and tri-color flags fluttering from every window, and women with tears in their eyes. It was the end of the war against Austria and Renzo Co lombini felt a burning desire to write a poem that would exalt the victory and history of his country. Today, after nearly 38 years, he considers the poem finished. And Renzo Colombini, at 52 a teacher at the little school of Sorga, near Verona, married with four children, perhaps has written the longest poem in the world. For two years Colombini searched for an idea and then, between 1920 and 1925, the poem emerged in design. In 1926, at Rovigo, he began to construct the verses, working for 22 years from noon until night. At the end of 1948 the long poem was complete with 50.000 verses. Two characters, Sardobbio, a conspirator, and Silva, a ro mantic girl, move through an intricate pattern of the past. the future, of pleasure and work, of love and philosophy, from the earth to an "ultramundane." astrology and metaphysics. Words and expressions were in vented for Sardobbio and Silva. and will not be found in the dictionary. After 1948. Colombini began an eight-year, distressing but necessary pruning of his poem. smoothing it down to 30,000 verses. He divided it into three sections. The first is called "Hu man Tragedy," which is the title of his poem; the second. "Comedy Arcana," and the third. "Divine Drama." Each is sub-divided into six "armonie" (harmonies) of 100 "ritmi" (rhymes), four "disarmonies" of 36 "antiritmi." and two "super armonie" of 20 "super-ritmi." Three copies of this colossal poem exist. One Colombini pos sesses, a second is in the care of a trusted friend in Milan for. a publisher to see. and the third is in a safe deposit box at an undisclosed bank. Colombini does not think he i will ever see his ppem published ' this era of television and the cinema. The length of his poem, which he vows never to reduce, makes Dante's "The ' Divine Comedy" seem like a j piece of routine length by com-' parison. ' Whether or not his poem has literary merit and style does no) bother Colombini He is content with his achievement after an 1 experience 38 years ago which still inspires him today.

(U.R) MEDFORD (OREGON) MAIL TRIBUNE THREB u The Adirondack black bear has something in common with au tomobiles in New York state. He's being tagged and part of him is getting a new paint job.

The men-trap and tag the bears and haul them off to distant parts of the woods, believing the burly bruins are getting too close to civilization for comfort. In some areas, notably Fourth Lake, the bears nightly attract huge crowds during their orays to the village dump. ' $100 Bills Returned Springfield, Calif.
