Danger of collapse forces closing of Venetian bridge
By United Press International
VENICE, Italy — Venetians took long detours along snow-scovered streets and icy canals yesterday because city officials finally closed a wooden bridge built 600 years ago as the first space across the Grand Canal.
Acting 10 minutes after engineers warned Tuesday that the Academy Bridge was in imminent danger of collapse, the city council closed it and barred boats from passing under it.
The move inconvenienced residents and tourists who had to walk to
another bridge across the canal as a result of the closing.
Officials said that they would try to prop up the bridge so boats could travel under it and would construct two footbridges, also temporary, on the bridge. The bridge was for thousands of visitors starting arriving for pre-Lenten Carnival.
Because cars, trucks and buses are not permitted to enter Venice, Venetians and tourists travel on foot or in boats.
The Academy Bridge was built in the 18th century to serve for a few years before construction of a huge bridge. It was commissioned but never started.
WASHINGTON — The head of the Congressional Budget Office said yesterday that the deficit in President Reagan's 1985 budget would be $12 billion higher than projected but that the economic harm it would do might not be evident for two years.

WHAT ABOUT EVIL?
When viewing evil and suffering in the world, the classic puzzle looks like this:
If God is good, God is not all-powerful. If God is all-powerful, God is not good.
Try another definition of power:
That's a toughie. But must power mean only force, coercion, persuasion, order?
try another definition of power trustworthiness, peace, community, sacrificial love, reconciliation.
That's the power of God we know, and in that power we know God's goodness.

have seen in recent weeks, perhaps a demonstration of the kinds of things that can be done will expedite the efforts." Dole said.
The budget Reagan presented Feb. 1 estimated a gradual decline in the deficit to $123 billion by 1989, based on growth of sharply declining interest rates.
"There is, in fact, much talk of the deficit 'aborting' the economic recovery." Penner said. "Our best judgment, however, is that this will not be successful." We believe that the harm done by deficits accrues over the long run."
But the CBO, in its own estimate of Reagan's budget, said the deficit would

But O'Neill told reporters, "If I were president, instead of squawking about the budget I would withdraw the budget I would withdraw and send up a respectable plan."
Budget office director Rudolph Penner told the Senate Appropriations Committee that the economic dangers of the proposed deficit deficits would emerge in the long run.

$211 billion in 1986, $233 billion in 1987,
$241 billion in 1988 and $248 billion in
1989.
“Our very best guess is that the recovery will go out,” Penner said. But he said the improving economy was threatened by the possibility that investors could pull out if deficits threatened the economic strength.
