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."

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

to write a poem that would

of his country.

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

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

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

poem, which he vows never
to reduce, makes Dante's "The '

In some areas, notably Fourth
