The experiment is to discover the effects on the human body of prolonged expenditure of energy in cold seas, with a view to applying the lessons learned, for the benefit of shipwrecked seamen or airmen forced down

on the ocean. Particular attention will be paid to the fat distribution of the body, which is human insulation against cold.

Over Modern Hotel Project

Rome, July 24.

The traditionalists who want Rome to remain unchanged and the modernists who want the city to move with the times, have joined battle again, this time over a super-hotel.

The hotel, to be built jointly by America's hotel king, Mr Conrad Hilton, and one of Italy's biggest hotel-owning and real estate companies, will stand boldly atop a hill overlooking the city.

The traditionalists claim that fore, 20,841 plus about 30,000 It will ruin the famed Roman which are rented by convents skyline of gentle hills, church | and religious Institutions to domes and steeples, tall cypross pilgrims. trees and, dominating everything

The cast has been estimated at 4,500,000 ire (£2,587,000 pounds sterling), 75 per cent of which will be borne by the Italian company and 25 per cent by the Hilton organisation.

Main objection to the hotel is that it is planned to be built on Monte Mario, rising just behind the Vatican City, which is one of the loveliest of the seven · hills which ring Rome.

Cloaked in oven, it makes a Atling background to the Cupola of St Peter's Basilica and the brown and white tiles the old Roman houses which climb from the River halfway up the hill.

Newspapers which support the their Traditionalists headlined stories of the Hilton plans with such words as "The Vandals of Monte Mario"; a "Scar on Rome's Skyline," "An offence against taste and beauty."

The modernists have answered back: "Your precious skyline. has already been pretty well spoilt by a television pylon (which sours on the very sum- mit of the hill.)
