Hatfield Calls for Laboratory Priority Salem-flJPO-Gov. Mark Hat field said Tuesday he has di rected the State Planning De partment to give top priority to Oregon Sta.te University's proposed marine science lab oratory on Yaquina Bay at Newport. The proposal needs appro val of the planning depart ment before it is submitted to the U.S. Area Redevelopment Administration. Federal funds are being sought for the $921,650 laboratory. Hatfield said Oregon offi cials must "make every effort to expedite this request." The governor said the laboratory which won approval of the State Board of Higher Educa tion last week, would "not only be a tremendous value from a scientific research standpoint, but also to the economic well-being of New port and Lincoln county."

WINSHIP United Press International The 20th century has been an era of planned cities-New Delhi, Canberra, Chandigarh, Islamabad but Brasilia is the most ' ambitious project of them all and the one with the most dubious future. For the well-travelled tourist the new capital of Brazil is a "must," By WILLIAM SUNDERLAND United Press International Rome -il'PD- Three days in Rome is like taking one bite of spaghetti. You usually want more. The Eternal City offers so much that three days just skims the surface. Aside from the old standbys such as the Colosseum, the Roman Forum, the Pantheon and the Cata combs, there is something tourists cannot see in that time-the every day life of the city. But certainly those ancient monuments dating back 2,000 years are worth seeing. An easy way, and probably the best, is to spend the first day of the Roman holiday on a tourist bus, a service furnished by any number of agencies. A great way to spend the first night-both so far as food and sightseeing go-is to take a trip across the Tiber River to "Trastevere," the old resi dential section of Rome and the apartments and palaces that line the narrow, winding streets are hundreds of years old. It is one of the most fas cinating sections of the city. There are numberless restau rants, almost without excep tion serving excellent Roman cooking. Many of them are lo cated in or around the Piazza Santa Maria in Trastevere (Square of St. Mary in Trast evere). Horn Drawn Carriage After dinner take a horse drawn carriage or taxi and tell the driver to make "un giro di Trastevere"-a tour around Trastevere. With luck he will take you along the narrow streets - many with washing hanging out of the windows of the apartments -that suddenly come to small, beautiful squares with lovely fountains. For the second day in Rome, try the Vatican. Go in the morning rather than the after noon because the Vatican Mu seum and other parts open to tlie public are closed after 1 p.m. There is the Vatican Mu seum, the Treasury, the Sis tine Chapel and, of course, St. Peter's basilica. From there, take a ride out to the Old Appian Way, a tree - shaded road which Medford Tribune SECTION B MEDFORD, OREGON, WEDNESDAY, JUNE 20, 1962 PAGES 1 to 10 stretches for several miles south ot Rome. It is lined with old monuments, tombs and villas. For dinner, pick a quiet, out of the way restaurant and spend two or three hours en joying the specialties of the house - just like the real Romans do. Nine out of 10 restaurants in the Eternal City serve good food. Afterwards, take a stroll along the Via Veneto - the "Great White Way" of Rome. Stay On Sunday j If a tourist is lucky, at least i one day of his stay will be a Sunday. A good way to start the morning-the earlier the better-is to go to Rome's flea market, called the "Porta Portese." It is open only on Sunday morning. The long street, on the right bank of the Tiber, is lined with stalls that sell everything from American shirts and blue jeans to antiques. But be care ful! Many of the antiques were made the week before. If there is something to buy, don't pay the price asked. Bar gain, bargain, and bargain. From the "Porta Portese" it is back to St. Peter's Square and be sure to be there by noon. At noon the Pope will come out onto his balcony overlooking the beautiful square to bless the crowd, which may be as large as 20,000 persons. Per capita consumption ot red meat in the United States during 1960 averaged 161 pounds. Ride EtwteTC MARK V AUTO AIR CONDITIONING MONITOR, BY MARK IV The ultimate in auto air conditioning.

Brasilia, created by former President Juscelino K u b i tschek to fulfill a campaign promise, is either Brazil's greatest folly or its greatest glory. It is only five years old and another decade or so will provide the answer. Al most all work on its construc tion has come to a halt. There are a number of rea sons why the future of this city of 80,000 is dark. It cost Brazil more than $1 billion to get it started money bor rowed from many sources and literally manufactured at the mint. It has helped bring the biggest and richest country in South America to the brink of financial disaster. The pres ent government does not seem interested in risking more money on its construction. The idea of moving the cap ital and eventually Industry to the more temperate in terior of Brazil from humid Rio de Janeiro on the coast has been a Brazilian dream for 150 years. But few gov ernment bigwigs or their wives want to leave their luxurious Rio life to live in a city without beaches, clubs and nightlife. Most travellers take in Bra silia as a flying, one-day side trip from Rio or Sao Paulo, but you can fly there from New York by Vang airlines on Wednesdays. The first view of Brasilia, 580 miles northwest of Rio, is a thrilling one. Its vast out line, patterned with a sweep ing network of thruways and accented by scattered nuclei of tall buildings.is imposed on the scrubby Gioas highlands, plateau so sweeping in its immensity that the curve of the earth seems apparent on the horizon. It's a good idea to start your sightseeing in the team ing shanty town that housed the city's pioneer residents the construction workers. This scab on the face of the world's most modern city is gradually being torn away, but its Wild West appearance still has a certain picturesque ness. Now let your guide drive into the city, via clover- leaves and underpasses that completely eliminate the old fashioned intersection. The main attraction is the Plaza of Three Powers, the focal point of architect Oscar Niemcyer's much-phot o- graphed government build- ines which look like a pre view of the 1964 New York World's fair. Niemeyer's masterpiece is the Palace of Dawn, official but rarely used residence of President Juao Goulart, who prefers a farm near Basilia. You can obtain special per mission to tour this graceful structure which seems to spring from its garden on grasshopper legs of white marble. It has distinction that is missing from most ol tne city's residential areas -vast blocks of identical coopera tive apartment buildings, stores, schools and recreation al facilities. Even the govern mental ministries are identi cal slablike structures inno cent of style or striking color. Most of all the visitor misses the softening influence of ver dure, for the city is still raw cut from the red clay that provides plagues of mud and dust as the seasons change.
