caused extensive damage early
today in the business district
of this coal town on the Ken

Police said there were two
blasts, about five minutes apart.
They shattered the tipples in
the Louisville g. Nashville Rail-

than 40 windows in business
places and touched of a fire
which was extinguished quickly
Deputy Sheriff Carl McGhee
said two men had been picked
up for questioning in the dyna-
hitting. Their names were
withheld.
Deputy McGhee estimated
that two cases of dynamite
were used in each explosion.
The blasts we're the latest in

Visitors in Rome gaze in awe at the Forum,
the Colosseum, and the other well-known
tourist attractions, but most Of them miss
the Eternal City's most exquisite view. It's
seen through keyhole on top Of the Ayen-
tino, one of Rome's seven historic hills.

as indiscTeet. But through this lock, in gate

ter what they were expecting to see, few are
disappointed. For at the end Of tunnel Of
green laurels beyond the gate, the most cele-
brated dome in the world stands out like
giant pearl against the blue-silk sky.
An optical illusion, cleverly planned,
makes this splendid jewel appear to be very
near, just beyond the opening of the garden
20 yards away. Naturally you want to know
more, SO you now pull the bell rope.

MonSignor the Bishop Carlo Alberto FerTero

Having said this, Simonetta adds that she
would like to invite you for little walk in
the garden. Monsignor never walks there.
Accept this invitation and soon you will
be gazing at the facade Of little white

perfected this spot. The keyhole's illusion is
achieved by masking out foreground objects
between the viewer and the dome.
