    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."

Construction Is Halted in
Brasilia, Future Uncertain
By
FREDERICK M. 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.

ranking as the eighth wonder
of the modern world.
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.
