Fa
orkers are already aware of the impact of the Worlds Fa1r
on the C1ty. One of its major man1festations is the increase
in traffic. Department of Traffic estimates that an addi-
tional 25,000 to 50,000 cars will come into New York every day.
We urge you, therefore, to be particularly mindful of the traf-
fic regulations. Doui le parking is one of the chief causes of
tra fhc tie-ups. On Third Avenue, for instance, each lane
carries 800 cars per hour at peak times. If a lane is blocked
by a double parked car, the efficiency of the street is de-
creased by 35%. In addition, double pdcking constitutes a se-
rious accident hazard: it reduces drivers' visibility, hinders
emergency vehicles and endangers the driver of the double parked
car who might have to get out in the middle of the street.
A major problem area in this respect seems to be Third Avenue
between 46th and 48th Streets Our Traffic Department is now
conducting a survey of the neighborhood and will attempt to
provide more space for DPL cars. We appreciate your cooperation.
We are enclosing a copy of the Worlds Fair Subway published
by the New York City Trans1t Authority, giving subway routes to
the Fair, and At Your Service. a helpful booklet issued by the
Police Department. Add1tional copies of these publications may
be obtained by calling this The Map is also available
at subway stations.
The World's Fair is a private, profit-making corporation which
is not under the jurisdiction of the City government in any way.
This Office, therefore, is not in a position to arrange for any
special privileges or programs for United Nations personnel with
respect to the Fair. If you wish to make such arrangements,
please call Mr. Gates Davison or Mr. Sneed Khan at WF 4-5383.
With regard to City Departments. we are ready, as always, to be
of help to you in every way ;;ossible. l.Ve are delighted to welcome

President johnson, Mr. Potofsky and Friends,
,.
Some of my most cherished recollections as a
public official are rooted in working with the
)
great needle trades on civic projects in which
the unions have combined concern for their own
members with a generous regard for others. This
,il
has been particularly true in the case of coopera-
rive housing, the best hope of comfortable, a mac-
tive middle income shelter
under other than

exclusive public auspices.
I am sure Jack Potofsky will not resent it if
..-.

on this occasion, and in the presence of so many
of his members, I address him as an enlightened
non-profit capitalist. The unions today are big
'
business.
They have their own management
I
problems. They are among our leading prag-
\
matists.
The Fair welcomes the Amalgamated on the
occasion of half a century of distinguished serv-
ice and urges your members to spread themselves
over Flushing Meadow to visit our pavilions, .i,
v
exhibits, shows and entertainments, foreign and
domestic. We have attempted to assemble here
the best the world has to offer in free competi-
tion, without the trappings of diplomacy. At this , .
.
Olympics of progress and achievement we de-
voutly hope that new friendships, based on our
common humanity and need, will be formed and
.,
cemented, and that as a result peace will be
brought nearer to a torn and troubled world.

0 1964 New York World's Fair 1964-1965 Corporation
I gather that my role here is by a few words to
pave the way for more detailed examination of ar
terial road problems in the motor age. At the risk
of being charged with dogmatism and in the interest
of brevity, I suggest that we attempt to agree on a
few underlying facts and principles to serve as a
basis for a realizable program.
These seem to be the ten underlying facts:
1. We live in an increasingly motorized civiliza
tion.
2. The car with internal combustion in its
various manifestations is here to stay and must
somehow be accommodated.
3. Manufacture of cars is one of our biggest
industries and employers of labor. It must increase.
It is indispensable. Its diminution would cause seri
ous maladjustments in our economy.
4. Cars must have good roads to ride on, and
the building of roads must catch up and keep pace
with the output of cars. We have not yet caught up.
We are behind and shall keep losing ground unless
we act fast. Congestion is here. Strangulation is not
far off.
The number of motor vehicles now registered
in the country, an estimate made by the U. S.
Bureau of Public Roads, in round figures, is 69,-
000,000 passenger cars and taxis and 13,500,000
trucks and buses. Production increases gradually at
about the rate of 2V2% a year. A larger proportion
of cars is scrapped each year. The net result is a
gradual increase in registration of about 2,000,000
a year. Total national registrations of passenger
cars in 1970 will be about 83,500,000 as against
less than 70,000,000 today.
The top car makers have at last waked up. Their
lively exhibits at the New York World's Fair amply
demonstrate alertness. The indifference and indeed
hostility of the thirties and forties are gone. It is
accepted doctrine now that a car without a road is
as futile as a ship without an ocean or a plane
without air and is kin to the proverbial reveler all
dressed up but with no place to go.
\I
--. ___ ........ __ .
5. The car owner and motorist is paying the bill
directly or He must be prepared to pay
even more, bur should be guaranteed against large
diversions for other purposes. About $3,000,000,
000 a year has been going into the Federal highway
aid trust fund. Increasing taxes to provide a 50%
increase in federal aid from 1964 to 1970 would be
relatively simple. The main revenue flows from
the tax on gasoline. If this tax were increased by
50% of the present rare, this would do. This in-
crease in taxes would bring in some $4,500,000,000
a year now which would be increased in 1970 by
some 14% to 20%. The maximum might be over
$5,000,000,000 a year. Federal aid would be in-
creased from the 1963 allocation of $3,300,000,000
to $4,500,000,000.
6. Federal aid of for main arteries of a
regional, metropolitan and continental character is
fully justified. The fifty-fifty system should be made
70 and 30. This is indispensable to progress.
7. Public authorities financed by prudent in-
vestors are required for many bridges, runnels and
thruways to supplement government funds, expe-
dite work and avoid unimaginative, routine bu-
reaucracy.
8. Commuter mass transportation by rail should
be coordinated with highway as well as air and
water transport, but no good purpose is served by
attempts to consolidate all transport agencies under
one administrative head nationally or regionally.
In recent years the railroads have not produced
leaders with the ingenuity, courage and pioneer
spirit of their founders.
We must use the pragmatic approach to im-
proved commuter rail service-perhaps by extension
of the public authority device-at any rate, with
complete frankness and cold arithmetic. If the
railroads are to be further subsidized and sup-
ported, they must produce convincing proof of a
new attitude. Meanwhile, the sideline pundits must
abandon their demand for one Big All-Embracing
Elephantine Transportation Monopoly operated by
as yet undiscovered geniuses.
If it can be demonstrated that the highway users
should, as a matter of logic and enlightened self-
interest, contribute out of their tax payments to
help specific railroads in special cases, I believe
that car drivers and owners can be persuaded to
take a large view of the entire rransportation prob-
lem and help such railroads in exceptional instances
to help themselves. Such a broad viewpoint should
not, however, be extended to justify all sorts of
handouts or to attempt to encompass consolidated
transport administration.
9. The monorail has irs undeniable uses in spe-
cial settings, but it is no panacea for conventional
travel facilities. I am all for helicopters and hydro
foils, but they are adjuncts, auxiliaries and inci
dental aids in the big movements. Walking isn't
bad either and swimming is the best exercise. Still
you can't walk back and forth to work or use the
six beat crawl from beach to office. The turbine
engine car may make travel cheaper and smoother,
if not faster. It may prolong the life of the auto
and perhaps revolutionize fuel usage and manu-
facture, but one thing is quite certain. It will not
lessen the demand for good roads.
10. Pay no attention to slanted, irresponsible
criticism. I refer you to a horrid picture book en-
titled "God's Own Junkyard" by Peter Blake, Man-
aging Editor of the Luce Architectural Forum. By
selecting the most ugly, grotesque pictures of land
and city scapes, and skilfully avoiding evidences
of devoted, intelligent, courageous and successful
planning, Mr. Blake proves to the satisfaction of a
s?ur audience that our expressways, parkways,
nbbon parks and landscapes are exclusively the
result of unregulated private profit, that man-made
America is an unrelieved mess, that the so-called
esthetics and amenities have been entirely absent
and that only the Blakes can save us.
Blake has not examined factual, honest pictures of
progress. He has never visited pleasant scenes, even
those near his office. He manifestly doesn't know the
points of the metropolitan compass. He has never in
my rarher long experience offered a single constructive
suggestion in any specific instance in the field of major
arterial or other public improvements. Wholesale de-
nunciation, smearing and scorn have never built, im-
proved or saved anything yet. Something better is
owed to those who love the rocks, rills and templed
hills of our beloved country, who all their lives have
mer opposition and made sacrifices to produce results
that some miserable little scribbler and candid snap-
shot raker claims do not exist.
Based on these ten findings, what must we do? lr
is simple enough to state. Implementation, however,
is something else. The three levels of government,
the public authorities, the press, the manufacturers,
labor and the engineering societies must impress upon
the public the vital need of an expanded highway
program which will insure prompt location of all
major arteries, immediate acquisition of rights of
way, forthright plans to move people and business in
a humane, orderly and systematic way, and as early
a start on construction as increased appropriations
will permit. The picture which presents itself at the
moment is not pretty-slowdown in the federal pro-
gram, failure of many states to show initiative and
courage, municipal indifference and obstruction, add-
ing up to appalling waste through rising cost of land
and building in the very bed of rights of way.
We need that vaunted, phantom shelf of genuine
public works, not made work and boondoggling, ready
when a recession, automation and other temporary
threats to full employment become menacing. The
RFC and PW A of the thirties, including projects
largely but not wholly self-liquidating, left durable
facilities which are still in good order and use.
Road work must be planned in relation to housing,
recreation and business, bur balanced, semi-political
boards to insure cooperation are like all boards-long,
narrow and wooden. Genuine leaders can find ways
to work together without being shovelled inro new
administrative bureaucracies with fine sounding com-
prehensive objectives announced in the best Madison
Avenue tradition, a wonder for the proverbial nine
days.

Why are these obvious realizable step-by-step ob-
jectives of metropolitan transportation improvements
neglected in favor of grandiose administrative mon-
strosities? In 1949 the Long Island Railroad was
forced into bankruptcy. In 1951 a commission of
three, on which I served with the late Judges Robert
P. Patterson and Charles C. Lockwood, recommended
to Governor Dewey converting the Long Island Rail-
road, a local commuter, neglected orphan of the
Pennsylvania system, into a genuine public authority.
Instead, a sort of bastard standby apology for an
aurhoriry was established to rehabilitate the road and
in 1954 it went back to the Pennsylvania with noble
stipulations, and a provtsiOn that tax exemption
would run our in 1966.
Meanwhile, the basic proposal of consolidation of
the Pennsylvania and New York Central systems,
which would offer an opportuniry to do something
constructive about commuter as well as continental
travel, has been the subject of hearings by Examiners
lasting 128 days, involving 36,000 pages of testimony,
and moulders in the Interstate Commerce Commis-
sion, one of those curious floating kidneys, neither
court nor executive agency, which bedevils the metab-
olism of the body politic. The rail applicants seem
incapable of either initiative or indignation and
become picaresque mendicants wailing up and down
the streets for handouts and showing their sores and
spavins at the entrances ro public buildings.
Let me give you another illustration of obstacles
piled up in front of public works: The Niagara im-
provement included power, parks, parkways, highways,
railroad grade eliminations and just about everything
else at the Niagara River and Gorge from Lake Erie
to Lake Ontario. In August 1956 the Power Authority
of New York applied to rhe Federal Power Com-
mission for a Niagara license. The Commission held
against it and refused even to consider the applica-
tion on irs merits. In June 1957 rhe Unired States
Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia re-
versed the Commission and ordered it to consider
rhe application. In August 1957 Congress passed
legislarion specifically directing the Commission to
..
- - ~ - ... _ .... _ .. ----. --
issue a license to the Authority. The Commission re-
fused to schedule hearings until the Fall of 195 7. Then
it consumed rwo months in hearings, took 4,000
pages of testimony and spent two more months de-
liberating to reach a compromise, the apparent pur-
pose of which was to placate obstructionists. The
result was to add $25,000,000 to the cost of the
project. In the Fall of 1958 after the United States
Court of Appeals ordered the Commission to make
findings on the Tuscarora Indian Reservation aspects,
it used up another six weeks in hearings, rook another
2,000 pages of testimony and spent another month
deliberating before making a 3 to 2 decision. Finally
in March 1960 the Supreme Court reversed the Court
of Appeals in the Indian case and the Commission's
findings became academic. The Power Authority at
last was able to build the project.
Let me turn now to land acquisition for highways.
Proper location of rights of way is almost never a
complex question until prolonged packed hearings,
fomented and stimulated opposition and pressure
politics enter into the dec1sion. Clearance of rights
of way is always tough and gets worse with rime.
Obvious, logical routes become dubious because of
understandably stubborn residents, encumbrances with
friends in high places and astronomical costs. In such
contexts compromises without principle and unhappy
alternatives are resorted to by timid officials. These
second-rare expedients show up later and become the
targets of critics who know nothing of rhe original
circumstances.
The Wrens and Baron Haussmanns, who stubborn-
ly cut wide swaths through the accumulations of cen-
turies in old cities, are few and far between. A stomach
for fighting and thirst for martyrdom are rare among
bureaucrats, bur fortunately still appear at critical
rimes and in the oddest places. You can draw any
kind of picture you like on a clean slate and indulge
your every whim in the wilderness in laying out a
New Delhi, Canberra or Brazilia, but when you oper-
ate in an overbuilt metropolis you have to hack your
way with a meat axe. Do nut fall for rhe cliche that
fancy planners lay out entire communities on such
...
---..:....-,_- ""'-"---J
clean slates. The framework, including arterial and
transportation as well as topographical and water
system, is very likely to come first. Industry and resi-
dence follow. It is the road builder who usually de-
termines what will come next. If he doesn't know
what will flow over his stone stream and crop up
beside it, he is a lousy road builder and should be
repairing holes in pavement.
Finally, traffic control, which is always in the end
a police problem, sf,ould be handled by the police,
work hours staggered, emphasis shifted from styling
to safety, safety regulations drastically raised and am-
plified and something like status, reward and respect
given to those who achieve measurable results.
Major roads are no incidental matter in planning.
The road system fixes the pattern of the future. It
touches life at all levels. It runs full tilt into taboos
and preJudices. And so it becomes harder and harder
to find men who can stand the gaff. How can com-
plete honesty and candor be expected in an atmos-
phere of small politics, expediency and the unwritten
l!lw, where there is a conspiracy of silence on contro-
versial questions, where "keep off the grass" and
"don't stick your neck our" signs abound, and the
unlit lamp and ungirt Join are standard equipment?
The solution of the road problem lies with men, not
with machines, methods, formulas, laws, trick financing
and magic.
Metropolitan and regional highway programs are
bedevilled by real estate and commercial promotion
campaigns, as well as legitimate engineering obstacles.
Because whale-shaped Long ! s i a n ~ runs out east into
the Atlantic, with its head in New York and its
fluked tail in New England, local boosters have con-
ceived the idea of nmning a causeway rwenry-rhree
miles long across the Sound to Connecticut and Rhode
Island. It would cost as much as over $300,000,000
of somebody's money at a time when every nickel in
sight for twenty or thirry years ahead is required to
finish projecred main east and west and north and
south arteries where the fast growing year round
population demands action. Years hence perhaps, bur
nor today.
.. _,.... ---- - _ .... -- ----.
There could not conceivably be enough federal and
state money to build the chimerical New England
causeway, and no bankers or prudent investors in their
right minds would visualize sufficient reliable traffic
to make it attractive as an investment. On the basis
of conservative guessing, it would take about fifty
years to amortize this project. A car or truck driver
on a wintry night halfway across this trestle, with
Atlantic Ocean spray breaking over it and surrounded
by mist, sleet and gloom, would be just about the most
lonesome creature in the known world. This would
be a swell picture to offer a prudent investor in au-
thority bonds. At any rate, the Legislature has passed
a bill to investigate this subject and see what it is
all about.
Planners, professors, editors and pundits advocate
long-range, comprehensive and regional programs
with all the parts boldly proclaimed and integrated,
but they are usually silent when influential elected
officials shy away from sensible projects which at the
moment are politically embarrassing, and promise an-
other look after election when the public can more
safely be taken into their confidence. Builders with
ants in their pants and the itch for action, who lind
this stultifying and even maddening, are admonished
that this is the democratic process and little can be
done about it. As in so many contexts today, the
people ask for bread and they get a stone. They ask
for action and get committees, reports and oratory.
Our New York World's Fair, if it does nothing
else, will demonstrate new ideas, processes and mate-
rials and a welcome to youth and originality. The
withered hand and the hollow sounding ~ h e l l with the
echoes of the past in it, these can not any longer
dominate road building and transportation, or any
other modern building endeavor merely because they
represent tradition and experience. As Browning said,
"Greet the unseen with a cheer."
Immense, shattering changes are before us. The
turbine or jet car engine is in the offing with revolu-
tionary effects on design and fuel. Is it not a fact that
in most major revolutionary power changes involving
simplification and economy, the engneers often move
cautiously by temporary intermediate steps to what
is the obvious objective-for example, from propeller
to prop jet to jet instead of straight to jet? The auto
manufacturers have immense investments, commit-
ments and sales campaigns under way. They naturally
want to cushion the shock of invention.
Sounds engagingly simple, you will say. You will
recall the yarn about the cockroaches who, tired of
their contemptible place in the animal kingdom,
appointed a committee to wait on the head lion who
ran the great open spaces. The roaches complained
of their miserable crawling life. "Why," said the lion,
"don't you get yourselves wings like the grasshoppers
and fly through the air with the greatest of ease?"
"Thar's all very well," said the cockroach leader, "but
how do we get the wings?" The lion roared at them,
"On your way, you silly insects. I gave you the idea.
Now you work out the details."
The derails, my friends, are for your subsequent
attention.

YORK WORLD'S FAIR, May 21 -- Vice Chairman George V.
McLaughlin of the Triborough Bridge and Tunnel Authority; Peter J.
Executive Director, and Othmar N. Ammann, noted bridge designer,
joined today in starting the final six-month countdown for completion
or the Verrazano-Narrows Bridge, the longest suspension bridge in the
world.
Mr. Reidy represented Robert Moses, Chairman or the Authority,
also President of the New York World's Fair 1964-1965 Corporation.
In a brief ceremony at the Fair's Administration Building, the
trio activated a clock at noon to tick off the days, hours, minutes
and seconds remaining until the Nov. 21st opening or the $325-millton
bridge. It was planned, financed and built by the Triborough Authority
to link Brooklyn and Staten Island acrose the Narrows at the entrance
to the New York harbor.
On April 1963, the late President John F. Kennedy activated
the same chronometer by dialing 1964 from a White House telephone, 365
days, 22 hours, 44 minutes and 29 seconds before the Fair's opening on
April 22nd.
The bridge has been hailed by Mr. Moses as a vital link in the
two-billion-dollar interstate highway system of the metropolitan area.
Opening in time to serve motorists in the second year of the World's
Fair, the Verrazano-Narrows Bridge is expected to carry 15 million
vehicles durtng tta ftrst year of operation.

WORLD'S FAIR SOLVES RE-ENTRY PROBLEM
NE\'1 YORK WORLD'S FAIR, May 21 -- The daily admission ticket to
the World's Fair is 11\{e a membership to the "club
11
for the day.
Visitors who may 111ant to take in a ball game at Shea Stadium,
visit their yacht at the World's Fair Marina, or go back home for a
shower and a change of clothes, may do so without being penalized an
additional admission charge.
At all eight gates "black light" lamps identify all who have left
the Fair and told the gate guard of their intention to return later
the same day. The procedure is a familiar one to anyone who has
attended a race track, swimming pool, sports arena, or dance and left
to return within a limited time.
As you leave you tell the guard at the gate you will return later
in the day. He stamps your palm, the heel of your hand, the back of
your hand, or one side of your wrist with an invisible dye --
invisible, that is, except when held under a "black" or ultraviolet
light when you re-enter.
The dye ts absolutely harmless to the skin and clothing and will
not wash off. It wears off tn about twelve to sixteen hours, and
comes in blue or green.
The Fair uses tNelve different design symbols to stamp departing-
returning visitors, varying each day the color and the position in
which it is placed on the hand. The symbol, ink color, and position
is uniform at all eight gates throughout the day. This discourages
any possibility of anyone "beating" the system.
It also assures the visitor at the World's Fair a full day's
instruction, entertainment and fun.

YORK WORLD'S FAIR, May 21 -- A temporary restraining order was
signed today by Justice Albert H. Bosch of the State Supreme Court,
Queens County. forbidding Colourpicture Inc a postcard
manufacturer of Boston, Massachusetts, from manufacturing, distributing
or selling postcards containing scenes of the Wor1dls Fair.
The restraining order was obtained by New York World's Fair 1964-
1965 Corporation as the first step in a suit by the Fair to atop the
sale of unauthorized World's Fair postcards. The Fair's legal papers

entered the Fair site and took photographs of the exhibits, and manu-
factured and distributed cards with Fair scenes on them.

also criminal statutes against trespassing and using the Fair's name
without the Fair's consent.

WORLD'S FAIR SOLVES RE-ENTRY PROBLEM
ROBERT MOSES
PRESIDENT
21, 1964
YORK WORLD
1
S FAIR, May 21 -- The daily admission ticket to
the World's Fair is like a membership to the "club" for the day.
Visitors who may want to take in a ball game at Shea Stadium,
visit their yacht at the World's Fair Marina, or go back home for a
shower and a change or clothes, may do so without being penalized an
additional admission charge.
At all eight gates "black light" lamps identify all who have left
the Fair and told the gate guard or their intention to return later
the same day. The procedure is a familiar one to anyone who has
attended a race track, swimming pool, sports arena, or dance and left
to return within a limited time.
As you leave you tell the guard at the gate you will return later
1n the day. He stamps your palm, the heel of your hand, the back of
your hand, or one side of your wrist with an invisible dye --
invisible, that is, except when held under a "black" or ultraviolet
light when you re-enter.
The dye is absolutely harmless to the skin and clothing and will
not wash orr. It wears orr in about twelve to sixteen hours, and
comes in blue or green.
The Fair uses tNelve different design symbols to stamp departing-
returning visitors, varying each day the color and the position in
which it is placed on the hand. The symbol, ink color, and position
is uniform at all eight gates throughout the day. This discourages
any possibility of anyone "beating" the system.
It also assures the visitor at the V./orld

instruction, entertainment and fun,

Re: Nor 1ver Development
1bition HaJl ',,
------- Dear Bob:----
You sent me a copy of Howard Sloane's letter dated
April 30, 1964 with a notation "who is back of this scheme?"
Arthur Hodgkiss' memorandum dated May 12, 1964
refers to tlle report made by Ebasco Services Inc., Moran, Proctor,
Mueser & and Eggers & Higgins in November 1962 which
recommen,led this facility.
The proposed exhibition haJl with an area of 144,500
square fee:. is part of a complex which extends roughly between
West 38th ;)treet and West 43rd Street on the North River. The
complex in:::ludes an arena, a heliport, an observation tower,
slips for s ghtseeing vessels and elevated parking decks. The
estimated ':ost is $87, 300, 000 of which the exhibition hall and
entertairun ?nt center amounts to $84, 000, 000. In my opinion
these are 1ather conservative estimates .
. \s far as I know this idea was proposed origjnally by
Commissit,ner Vincent 0
1
Conner and members of his staff and
later end01sed by Commissioner Leo Brown. Their idea is to
build this \lith city funds as a self-liquidating project. To
Hon. Robert Moses
- 2- May 21, 1964
'-....;
accomplish this someone must make a long term rentcl commitment.
I think you will agree that this is rather wishful thinkij 1g.
Naturally, the exhibition hall and the arena, if built,
would probably have a serious effect on both the ColiStlum and the
new Madison Square Garden now under construction. However,
I cannot see how this facility will ever be anything but a paper
project unless the city is willing to underwrite it. I tldnk this is
extremely doubtful.
Sincerely,
\ 1 :._ \.

MEMORANDUM TO PETER J. REIDY
FROM ARTHUR S. HODGKISS
The Convention Hall on the North River was initially recom-
mended in a report "North River Development Plan" to the Department
of Marine and Aviation by Ebasco Services Inc., Moran, Proctor,
Mueser & Rutledge, and Eggers & Higgins in November 1962.
The report recommends the construction of an arena with a
central floor area 100 x 270 feet, with surrounding accommodations for
between 20, 000 and 23, 500 spectators. It also recommends an exhibition
hall with an area of 144, 500 square feet. The location would be on the
water front, roughly between West 38th Street and West 43rd Street.
The consultants' report is outlined beginning on Page 29 in
the attached brochure.
Since publication of the report the convention hall and exhibition
halls have been enthusiastically supported by the New York City Convention
Bureau.

a number of erroneous statements.
Comptroller Beame's proposal "to use the World's
Fair surplus for school improvements" is at variance
with the whole concept upon which the World's Fair
was established and has been operated.
The existing lease between the City and the Fair
Corporation, authorized by state legislation in 1960
and confirmed by state legislation in 1961, provides
that "All net revenue" remaining to the credit of the
Fair Corporation after the discharge of all of its obliga-
tions under the lease "shall be paid to the City and shall
be used for the restoration and improvement of Flush-
ing Meadow Park, and the balance of such revenue
remaining thereafter shall be used by the City of New
York for educational purposes."
Thus, under the lease as it has existed for four years,
the bulk of the net revenues from the Fair constitutes
capital funds which must be used for restoration and
improvement of Flushing Meadow Park. Only such
"balance" as remains after the restoration and im-
provement is provided for, can legally be used for
educational purposes.
The concept of using the Fair surplus first for the
completion of Flushing Meadow Park is nothing
new. It was one of the understandings upon which
Mr. Moses and his associates agreed to direct the Fair.
They would never have undertaken the job except for
the opportunity of leaving a completed Flushing
Meadow Park as a legacy.
The legislation passed at the last session {Chapter
963 of the Laws of 1964) merely took cognizance of
the realities of planning and executing the job of com-
pleting Flushing Meadow Park and the adjacent corri-
dor system.
These realities demand that the work of completion
be combined with the job of demolishing the Fair
and restoring the site, a task already assigned to the
Fair Corporation and the participants in the Fair.
Demolition, restoration, and improvement are a seam-
less web. It would be administratively absurd to split
them between the Fair Corporation and the City, even
if the City were prepared to do the job-which it is not.
Loose talk about substituting "a private corporation
... for our Park Department" shows ignorance of
these realities. The Department of Parks, even if it had
the staff and the funds to attempt this job, could only
do so at an enormously greater cost. Only those who
built the Fair are in close enough touch with the exhib-
itors, concessionaires and contractors, foreign and
e 1964 New York World' Fair 1964-1965 Corporation
-------... -J_ ~ ~
domestic, to make and execute the intricate legal, engi-
neering and other arrangements necessary to coordi-
nate the timing and scope of the demolition work and
the filling and restoration operations and to provide for
the retention and use, where possible, of existing land-
scaping, utilities, exhibits and other structures.
The preliminary post-Fair plan must be translated
at once into a final plan. The requisite approvals of
that plan must be processed and obtained from the
numerous City agencies involved. Planning must be
translated into contracts, and contracts must be let,
coordinated, and administered.
The City doesn't have funds even for the planning
work. None are provided in the Park Department's
capital program. Such preliminary planning as has
already been done-and there has been a great deal-
has been at the expense of the Fair Corporation.
Unless an agreement, pursuant to the enabling leg-
islation, is entered into promptly between the City and
the Fair Corporation, there will simply be no post-
Fair improvement of Flushing Meadow Park and its
environs, at least for the foreseeable future.
There will, in short, be a repetition of the 1939-
1940 debacle when, because of lack of planning and
funds, the City lost a golden opportunity to build
another Central Park for the future and left instead
an area that was for a generation a reproach to the
City and of little use for recreation purposes. If, as
Comptroller Beame says, he believes in benefitting
"both schools and parks", he ought to forget his the-
ories and come to grips with facts. He ought to recog-
nize that the park development which he says he sup-
ports isn't going to happen-at least in his lifetime-
unless the Fair Corporation does it.
The Comptroller's statement that "Under the
World's Fair proposal only parks will benefit" is non-
sense. The Fair Corporation is pledged to turn over
$24,000,000 to the C1ty before any funds are expended
for the post-Fair improvements. All or part of this
$24,000,000 can be used for education. Moreover, the
City will receive close to $200,000,000 of additional
money through sales tax collections due to purchases
by visitors to the Fair.
The Comptroller might pay some attention to the
fact that the Fair surplus, which he and others are
dividing up for educational and other purposes, does
not yet exist. If it is earned at all, it will be earned by
courageous, prudent and non-political management by
Fair officials who have resisted, and are still resisting,
all sorts of efforts to transform the Fair into a system
of assorted handouts for all. Fair management has
pursued this tough attitude in major part on the
assumption that it was building a park for countless
generations to come.

May Z7 ... The new stainless steel mail
box proposed for national acceptance by the Post Office Department
will receive its first public testing beginning tomorrow (Thursday)
at the New York World's Fair.
Tyler Abell, Assistant Postmaster General for Facilities, said
the prototype street letter box will be unveiled at 2 P.M. on the
Avenue or the Americas near the un1sphere at the center or the Fair-
grounds. Mr. Abell will mail the first letter in the new box to
President LYndon B. Johnson, describing features of the newly de-
signed receptacle.
Mr. Abell said the stainless steel box is larger, lighter in
weight and "more vandal-proof" than the heavier carbon steel box in
current use. Earlier, Postmaster General John A. Gronouski stated
that the Post Office Department is looking for a box that requires
less maintenance cost.
"If this model passes that test and meets our other rigid re
qu1rements," Mr. Oronousk1 said_, "it will produce substantial savings
for the taxpayers."
Mr. Abell said that the Fa1rgoing public will have the oppor
tunity to make their judgment of the appearance and convenience or
the new mail box through depositing comment cards provided.

For weeks we have heard that the birds were coming to the Fair.
On tenterhooks, we worried. Would they survive the cruel cold Spring
weather? Would the ASPCA give them the tender care they were used to?
What did they think of America as viewed from shelters at Kennedy
Airport?
They finally arrived at the Sudan Pavilion this past week, sound
in limb and glorying in the attention they were receiving as they
wandered around the grounds of the Pavilion's outdoor restaurant. In
pairs they paraded; the Shoe Bill Birds, beauties by any Stone-Age
standards, crested Crown Cranes on tall pipe-stem legs and Saddle Bill
Birds, yclept "Tall-1ntheSaddle" and "ww-in-the-Saddle".
Lunch was served. Unacceptable. Someone had forgotten to thaw
the frozen fish. In bad temper either Low or Tall-in-the-Saddle took
a swipe at the eye of a Shoe Bill.

Por weeks we have heard that the birds were coming to the Fair.
On tenterhooks. we worried. Would they survive the cruel cold Spring
weather? Would the ASPCA give them the tender care they were used to?
What did they think of America as viewed from shelters at Kennedy
Airport?
finally arrived at the Sudan Pavilion this past week, sound
in limb and glorying in the attention they were receiving as they
wandered around the grounds of the Pavilion's outdoor restaurant. In
pairs they paraded; the Shoe Bill Birds, beauties by any Stone-Age
standards, crested Crown Cranes on tall pipe-stem legs and Saddle Bill
Birds, yclept "Tall-in-the-Saddle" and "Low-in-the-Saddle".
Lunch was served. Unacceptable. Someone had forgotten to thaw
the frozen fish. In bad temper either Low or took
a swipe at the eye of a Shoe Bill.
Penned away in a corner like were two Secretary Birds.
Meat eaters with vulture-like beaks, they do not yet understand the
finer nuances of what constitutes lawful prey. BUt when they learn -
discerning aggressiveness has always been the sign of a good secretaryJ
Included in the welcoming committee were Frederick
director, Central Park Zoo and Prospect Park Zoo, Cr. El Rayay
Hassaballa, director of the National Zoological Gardens of
Lionel Harris of the Fair's International Division and other bird
lovers.
