ROME (AP) The Italian government said Tuesday that a two-year search for a way to halt the "lean" in the Leaning Tower of Pisa has produced no workable plan. The Tuscan landmark on shifting ground has been leaning since it was built in the Middle Ages. The studies were undertaken because Italian authorities feared any more lean could endanger nearby buildings and perhaps the tower itself. The Public Works Ministry, which sponsored a contest to figure out how to stop the tilt, said a commission of experts turned down all the projects entered by architects and engineers from three continents.

A total of 14 were studied, half of them Italian. The others came from Japan, Mexico, Britain, Holland, France, Belgium and Sweden. "There were good ideas in them but they were not enough," said Giovanni Travaglini, president of the commission. He declined to go into details. Rules set down for the contest required that the project should stabilize the tower without straightening it and that whatever work had to be done should leave no visible trace on the monument or on the "Square of Miracles" where it stands close to Pisa's Romanesque cathedral.

Italian authorities have been moving slowly on the tower question. Advent Observed By Forest Park Methodist Sunday, is the first Sunday in Advent.
