Newspaper Page Text2 C THURSDAY, MARCH 23. 1861 MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE. MEDFORD, ORE. Gondoliers May Have To Battle Autos in Venice Venice, Italy-IWD-The gon doliers of Venice are always complaining bitterly about competition from the motor boats. What will they say when they see the cars. Yes, automobiles. A tenta tive zoning plan calls for a highway linking the outer la goon islands, and opponents of the scheme charge that this fould inevitably, lead to open ing Venice's eastern water front to automobile traffic. This, to any lover of Vene tian tradition, is like adding cubist details to a Raphael painting or shaving off the beard of Giuseppe Garbibaldi. The zoning plan, worked out by city authorities and currently under study at the Public Works Ministry, calls for construction of a highway on the long and narrow sandy islands of Pellestrina and of the Lido, which extend almost in a straight line, closing the Venice Lagoon and leaving the city Inside. The highway would be served by ferry boats in the four narrow straits dividing the islands from one another and from the mainland. The island road would pro vide a new and fast link be tween the Bologna-Venice and Trieste Venice highways, which currently join on the mainland at the town of Mes tre. New Link ' Critics of the scheme, led by the Italia Nostra (Our Italy) Association, which fights for the defense of ar tistic beauties all over Italy, charge that . the highway would destroy the entire na ture of Venice. First of all, said critic Emilio Lavagnino in the Rome Newspaper II Messaggero, the plan would turn the narrow green belt of Islands between the lagoon and the open sea into a big suburban road. In the second place, the obvious next step would be to open the Fondamenta Nuove (new foundations) waterfront to car traffic as a link between the the new highway and the city's railroad station, which in turn is connected to the mainland by a long bridge. ' "The hallucinating sight of a car in St. Mark's square , . . will very soon be a reali ty If we go on this way," T.nvncnlnn wrote. . "And . the gondolas in Venice will look like those false old fishermen In Capri, put there to provide folklore for the foreigners." Whether the gondolas would remain at all was far from certain.

But local building eoaes and the determined opposition of plumbers, electricians and oth er labor unions still are keep ing the pre-fab house com panies from achieving real mass production. At least seven manufactur ers will push hard in the East, the Midwest, and Southwest j and the Far West this year to overcome local oojeciions 10 the nil factory-built home. Unlike pre-fabs being put p by the thousands in new sub-divisions, the all factory- built house is completely fin ished inside and out at the actory, with wiring and plumbing fixtures in place. It is hauled to the homeowner's lot in two, three or four pieces and then set on the founda tion by a crane. The sections are bolted together and the plumbing lines joined by pipe sleeves and connected to the ground water, gas and sewer ines. Aside from the obvious ime saving, the all-factory- built house can save money tor tlie buyer and increase the manufacturer's profit at the same time, according to Phil ip Duff, vice president of Guerdon Industries of Mar- lette, Mich. $400 Saved About $400 in financine charges can be saved the builder or buyer because there is so little onsite work that no interim financing is needed. Everything is financed in one big loan-like a trailer or auto sale." That doesn't include buvine the lot, of course. Some of the companies even are consider ing selling furnishings along with the factory-built house and financing the whole busi ness in the purchase mort gage. The house sections are cut about the size of a big trailer so they can be hauled easily on the highway. Generally, tne sections just bolt together, but there are a few ingenious models in which floor, wall ana root panels ot one section fold against the side of the other section in transit so both sections can be hauled on one truck. One of these folding houses (made by Transa Struc tures of Fullerton, Calif.) has three bedrooms and sells com plete, for $12,500. You must provide you own lot. Not Cheap The all-factory-built houses are not small or cheap. They are 'made to compete with houses costing $15,000 and up Including land. With conven tional pre-fabs erected by builders in subdivisions, the shell delivered by the factory usually accounts for only one- third the cost of the house without land. On the all-factory-built house, virtually the whole price goes to the fac tory except for the land.

(Science Service) A moisture detec tor for missile installations has been developed by the U.S. Army Engineer Research and Development Laborato ries here. Known as an "electrolytic hygrometer," the instrument can detect moisture that could cause vital Instruments and equipment to break down. The 35-pound Instru ment absorbs and simultane ously electrolyzcs any mois ture it spots from an air sample. The detectors will bo used In missile systems such as the Redstone. The earliest known research studies to determine salt re quirements of farm animals were undertaken In France about 1850. The studies show ed that sheep fed stock salt in their rations grew faster, and Improved in general health compared to th;ise receiving no supplemental salt.
