Pisas Leaning Tower Resulted From an Accident:
Foundation Sank on One Edge During Construction

When the NormanS were conquer
ing England, Pisa was competing
with Venice and Genoa for mari
time leadership among the City
states of those days. Pisans read
their destiny in the sea, and war
was their key to trade and territory.
Early in the 18th century Pisans
routed the Moors on Sardinia. and
seized the island. In 1868 they de-
stroyed the Moorish fleet at Tunis.
Their power was at its peak in the
18th century. They became lords of
the Italian coast from Spezia to Civil
tavecchia, a stretch of 140 miles.
But war which had made Pisa'S
fortune was to prove its ruin. A
long struggle with Genoa ended in
defeat. Corsica had to be aban-
doned; Sardinia was lost. Bicker-
ings and battles had Slapped Pisa's
strength, and she fell an easy prey
TO the rising might of Florence. The
commerce that had been the city's
pride went by default to Livoyno.

A quirk of nature produced the
179-foot bell tower known as the
Leaning Tower, says the National
Geographic society. Begun in 1173,
the tower had reached the 35-foot
level when soft earth caused one
side of the foundation to sink throw
ing the structure out of its vertical
position. Although the builders tried
hard to compensate for the slant as
the tower rose tier upon tier, there
was further sinking and the com
pleted structure leaned almost IA
feet from the perpendicular. Cali
leo Galilei, a native physicist and
astronomer, used the tower for his
famous calculations of the velocity
of falling bodies.
Pisans have engaged in hat and
glass making, cotton spinning, and
the production of alabaster wares.
Chief mineral resources of the re-
gion are marble, alabaster, and
mineral waters. pisa's prewar popu-
linton was about $1,000.

MALARIA REPORTED
LOW AMONG TROOPS

WASHINGTON, July 80. -(P)-
The Army, acknowledging that
malaria among troops has been
"an important factor influencing
military operations, reported to-
DAY that the rates of the disease
in highly malarious theaters are
now but one-quarter to one-third
of figures early in the war.
In it's first lengthy statement on
the problem, the War Department
said that the Army, on the whole,
'has had a good record in proven
ing malaria"
The disease, the department re-
ported, has caused much less non
effectiveness in our armies than
in those of the enemy. American
casualties have been fewer than
those experienced by other forces
in comparable areas.

Germans Set Up Battery
On Outskirts OF City
Famed For Culture

ROME, July 30.-P-The
Germans threw five battered
divisions today into the battle
of Florence, great Tusnan art
center whose stored towers
were in sight of the Eighth
army fighting up through the
mountains. ::
Once again, as so often in the
drive up the Italian peninsula, the
Allies were faced with the posi-
BILE necessity of firing on a store
house of art and culture, for the
enemy was setting up heavy gun
battery in the southern outskirts
of the city made famous by Dante,
Michelangelo, Petrach, Boccascio
Savanarola and the Medicis.
Tightening their ring about the
city of 100000, the British were
seven miles away at San Michele
on the southwest, and ten miles
away on the south at the battle
field of Mount Scalari, highest
point in the area and from which
Florence is plainly visible.
The British brought up their
left wing at the same time, send
ing patrols into the outskirts of
Empoli, Arno river city Is miles
west of Florence.
The enemy, however, still held
out firmly at Montelupo, five miles
east Of Empoli. Here, at the con-
fluence Of the Arno and Pesa riv-
ers, the Germans were making a
strong stand and the British still
were two miles below the city.
AL enemy outposts south of the
Arno and the Pesa in this sector
have bean cleared out and patrols
are active north of these rivers.
The Germans strengthened their
last hill line below Florence and
lashed out with repeated counter
blows in an effort to repair the vi
olence done to their defenses in

headquarters described as ''near

lost, then recaptured last night
was typical of the fighting.

Lynn Heinzerling said the Ger.
mans flung tanks and troops into
counterattacks all yesterday af-
ternoon.
Each time the New Zealanders
put down what they call ''mur.

Il, 900 WORKERS
OUT IN STRIKES
By The Associated Press

Labor disputes kept 1900 in
dustrial workers idle throughout the
nation over the weekend and a
union spokesman predicted another
1000 would quit work today, shut
ting down completely five Detroit
plants manufacturing parts for
bomber motors.
In Detroit Nestor B. Dessy. presi
dent of Local 235, United Automo-
bile Works (CIO), said $500 strik-
ing employees of five Chevrolet
gear and axle division plants had
voted yesterday not to return to
work until their grievances were
settled.
Because of the strike last Thurs
day in a dispute over production
speeds, manufacture of parts for
Pratt and Whitney warplane en-
gines has been curtailed. Dessy
said he expected 1000 employees of
the five factories would not re-
port for work today, which would
mean a complete shutdown.
Prospects for an early settle
ment of at least two other disa-
greements, involving $500 en-
ployes, hinged upon meetings TO-
day at Roebling, N. j.. where 3,00C
more plant employees of John A
Roebling and Sons are on strike,
and at Buffalo, N. Y, where 80C
night shift workers of the Houdall-

Major strategic detectives OF
the Marianas island campaign
appeared to have been attained
today as front line dispatches
disclosed a new and fearful Sc
cret American weapon had
proven its devastating power in
one of the operations.
Gaum's Apra harbor, one OF
the finest in the western Paci-
fic, was firmly in American
hands. u. S. gunboats were
patrolling the bay, potential
advanced base from which fleet
units could strike at Japan, the
Philippines or the China coast.
Marines have conquered two
thirds of the airport island of
Tinian and are in Tinian town.
1t was there the secret weapon
was tried out for the first time.
''It is easy to forsee the de-
vastation and death which
would result from its use on
such targets as the crowded
cities of the japanese home
land" wrote War Correspond
ent Clinton Green. Details OF
the weapon and how it operates
were not disclosed.
Southwest Pacific bombers,
sweeping over the airWays
along Gen. Douglas MacAr-
thurs expected return route to
the Philippines, smashed four
enemy airdromes around north
west New Guinea and strafed
the east coast of Halmahera
island, midway between New
Guinea and the Philippines.
Macarthur announced that
1859 japanese have been killed
since July II in the Aitape Sec
tor of New Guinea, where 49,
900 Nipponese are trying to
break out of a trap.
Additional accounts of the

trial district of Anshan, Man.
