We have been successful in getting Good
year to reopen the question of World's
Fair participation. They are presently
seriously considering 100,000 sq. ft. of
the old Chrysler site for a Goodyear
exhibit in conjunction with a Carveyor
ride across Grand Central Parkway and
back to the Goodyear site. They have
been in contact with Walt Disney about
putting together this exhibit. We are
hopeful of getting a decision on this
scheme by October 15.
Agreement has been reached with Greyhound
on their total site in the Transportation
Section, however, there are a few items
remaining unresolved at the moment
holding up final agreement. We hope to
have these resolved in about two weeks.
Work is progressing smoothly on this
project and we anticipate a lease signing
(with a down payment of $175,000) in late
October.
On September 18, Century Grill signed a
lease for 11
1
001 sq. ft. We are presentP
ly negotiating for an additional strip
of space measuring about 1,500 sq. ft.
This will bring the total leased area to
approximately 12,500 sq. ft.
Century Grill will operate an unusual
type of restaurant featuring hamburger
steaks prepared in accordance with the
local customs and recipes of the various
nations of the world,

An agreement has been reached in con-
junction with Mr. Constable for leasing
15,052 sq. ft. for a luxury restaurant,
The agreement calls for a sliding scale
of percentage of gross revenue to be
applied against the basic rental of $8.00
per sq. ft. The lease document 'is
currently being prepared by the Fair's
legal department.
Negotiations have been concluded with
the group sponsoring this museum. The
Fair's legal department will prepare a
lease document and we expect signing to
be completed this month,
In conjunction with the Director of Con-
cessions, we have reached a preliminary
agreement for the lease of 6
1
000 sq. ft.
of space to the Budget Rent-A-Car Corpor-
ation, This Arganization which had the
exclusive concession at the Seattle
World's Fair, is a ~ e w (5 years old))
growing, and aggressive competitor in the
auto rental field.
We have refused to give them an exclusive
concession. As a matter of fact, we
believe that their presence will spur
Hertz and Avis to participate in the Fair,
Meeting being arranged for this week
with Mr. Webb of NASA. I will prepare a
follow-up report after this meeting.
Now that Eastern's labor difficulties
have subsided, they have shown renewed
interest in the Fair and are re-examining
the project we offered them sometime ago.
We shall give them a little more ttme
and if there is still no decision, we
will then take the proposal to American
Airlines.

They have a prelUninary scheme for an
interesting audience participation type

require a total of about 5060,000
sq. ft. O'Connor's staff is currently
planning a meeting with representatives
of interested companies to determine the
amount of financial support they can get.
This company still remains an outside
possibility for the Fair. They maintain
that they have au interest in exhibiting
if they find the right medium, however,
they have just about rejected the Special
Events Stadium. We will continue to work
with them in the anticipation of finding
a worthwhile exhibit.
Continues to be interested in the Fair
but has made no decision on participation
except that they have considered the
proposed Motoring Safety Center as a
possibility.
We continue to be confident that Socony
exhibit in the Transportation
Section but they are moving very slowly
toward the final decision. They still
seem to be planning on a 510,000 sq. ft.
site,
They have again turned down World

participation following our recent
recommendation to them that they sponsor
the Special Bvents Stadium. If we are
successful in securing a Goodyear exhibit

We are working very closely with Arthur
Motley on this group. Ve have been able
to interest Mr. McCollum, Chairman, and
Mr. Porter, President of API, into conM
sideration of an exhibit utilizing Walt
Disney
1
s "Hall of Presidents". We plan
to meet on Friday, October 5, with
Messrs. McCollum and Porter and a repre
sentative of Disney's studio to review in
detail all the facets of the Disney pro
posal. If Messrs. McCollum and Porter
approve and it is feasible, we will
arrange to have nine or ten of the top
API members meet with Mr. Disney for a
review of the project and to decide on
a formal recommendation to the membership
It is expected that the Disney Theater
would require from 36,000 to 42,000 sq.
ft.
Following Chrysler's decision to enlarge
its site, I contacted American Motors.
Mr. Abernethy, is now again
reviewing the company's previous decision
not to exhibit.
We have been requested to allocate
10,000 square feet at the western end of
lot 50-19 to Mobile Care, a charitable
organization which will supply wheel
chairs and/or other means of locomotion
to non-ambulatory visitors to the Fair.
Since this work will be done in con
nection with Greyhound a portion of
lot 50-19 was selected because of its
adjacency to the Greyhound exhibit.
An area of 6,000 square feet on the
northerly end of lot 50-10 has been
reserved for this concession known as
"The Great Book". Mr. Constable's
office is negotiating an arrangement
whereby the tenant will pay $8.00 per
square foot against 121. of the gross.

SUBJECT: MEDO PHOTO SUPPLY CORP,
,;
As you are aware, the the agreement with Grayson-Robinson
for the photographic and film supplies store was terminated on September
21st because Grayson-Robinson had filed for an arrangement under the
bankruptcy laws.
Accordingly, pursuant to your approval, we started
negotiations with Medo who, as you will recall, submitted the second
best proposal for the original concession.
We have now received an oral proposal from Medo, which
will be shortly confirmed in writing. It amounts to a restatement of their
former proposal for retail sales, as follows:
1. 8% of the gross receipts from retail sales and services
made by us at all locations up to $225, 000 per year.
2. 9% of the gross receipts from retail sales and services
made by us at all locations on the next $275, 000 per year.
3. 10% of the gross receipts from retail sales and services
made by us at all locations on the next $250, 000 per year.
4. 11% of the gross receipts from retail sales and services
made by us at all locations on the next $250, 000 per year.
5. 12% of the gross receipts from retail sales and services
made by us at all locations over and above $1,000,000 per year.
They will rent the 6, 000 sq. ft. plot, formerly rented by
Grayson-Robinson, at $48,000 minimum guarantee.
They also indicated that they would like to have 8 or 10 small
additional locations throughout the Fair grmmds. We believe it would be
feasible to inCorporate these locations with some of the Information Booths.
Medo would pay the additional cost of enlarging these structures and would
pay $8 per sq. ft. minimum rent for the space occupied within each structure.

With these additional locations Medo believes there will be
no need for selling film at other concession stands. However, their agree-
ment will contain provisions requiring Medo to sell film at wholesale to
other concessionaires if we deem it necessary. The percentages to be
paid to us on such sales at wholesale, will probably be left open, to be
negotiated when and if the need for further retail outlets for film should
arise.
Medo's rights will be exclusive subject to the usual reservation

eua.1EcT: WORLD'S FAIR COLOR SLIDE LICENSE
On July 11, 1962, the Executive Committee authorized
Media Enterprises, Inc. , licensing agent for the Fair Corporation, to
execute a license agreement with Grayson-Robinson Photo Supply, Inc.
(a subsidiary of Grayson-Robinson Stores, Inc.) for the production of
World's Fair color slides.
Inasmuch as the Fair Corporation canceled its photographic and
film concession agreement with Grayson-Robinson Stores, Inc. on
September 21, 1962, we request rescission of the Executive Committee's
authorization to execute a license agreement with Grayson-Robinson
Photo SumD.y, Inc.
Media Enterprises, Inc. now has recommended that the
World's Fair color slide license be awarded to Photo-Lab, Inc. of
Washington, D. c.
They offer an advance payment of $50, 000 to apply against 20% of
their gross sales on and off the Fair Grounds. This is a better proposal
than the one received from Grayson-Robinson.
The staff concurs in Media's recommendation and I request that
the Executive Committee approve execution of the agreement with
Photo-Lab, Inc., substantially in accordance with the terms set forth
above.

$150, 000 but not exceeding $200, 000.

Rules and Regulations
Paragraph 15, subparagraph 4 on Page C-5 of our
Regulations requires that a "post indicator valve" be installed
on fire protection lines.
What this entails is an approximately 3' high cast iron
post near the curb at each exhibitor's water service with a sign
thereon indicating that the water valve is in an open or closed
position. New York City has removed this requirement from the
Code years ago. Upon the recommendation of our Code consultants
and fire fighting forces, it is suggested that we omit this post from
our requirements.
It is recommended that the above-mentioned paragraph
read as follows:
"All exterior water valves controlling fire protection
services shall be readily readily accessible, and
properly identified. These facilities, together he
Siamese hose connections described in Article 1 ,

CONSTRUCTION - WORLD'S FAT.R CONTRACTS AND DESIGN
Design work continues on the remaining items in our construction budget.
Prelirilinary design work on the proposed Marina in Flushing Bay indicated the
necessity of utility crossings in an area which is just about to be closed by paving
on Grand Central Parkway. A small contract was immediately negotiated to place
the necessary utu1ty crossings at this time and this work was carried out the same
weekend. Progress is being made on Special Events Pavilion and proposed
preliminary designs were cleared by the Park Department. The most important
design category still pending is that for pools and fountains and these are proceeding
on schedule.
Additicnal portions of the electrical network have been activated
extending through the industrial area. Service for the New York State pavilion will
be available by 15 October with remaining portions of the network to be rapidly
completed. Major emphasis is being placed on getting a fast start under the newly
awarded contract for low tension electrical service throughout the fair in order to
get this work in before the necessary paving.
The construction of five Service Buildings and the Press Building is
getting under way satisfactorily. Work on the Security Building continues to adva.me.
A contract bas been awarded for paving the bus terminal and bus parking areas at
lllth Street and grading and electrical work have now started.
EXEIBITORS DESIGN AND CONSTRUCTION
The Fair Corporation has issued Advisory Memorandum No. 17 covering
standard specifications on making buildings and facilities usable by the physically
handicapped. This memorandum encourages exhibitors to make provisions so that
pavilions will be suitable for the handicapped and afterwards the Fair Corporation
will publish consolidated information to those interested.

1) The meeting called on September 19th by General Potter proved
to be very productive. The day-long discussion covered Labor,
Materials, Progress and relationship with the exhibitors and
their architects, engineers, and contractors.
It was decided that a two-day meeting with exhibitors, archi-
tects, engineers, contractors, and bankers would be called on
October 22nd and 23rd. The most serious problems applied to
the International and States sections. It was agreed to invite
the slow-moving exhibitors of the other sections as well. Cables
and telegrams were sent out and an agenda and program is being
prepared. Acceptances are already coming in. The agenda will
be submitted to the various sections for comment and approval.
2) At the meeting it was decided to set up a tentative construction
schedule prepared by the Expediting Department to show estimated
time required to complete each exhibit of the International and
States Sections. This schedule is based on a building covering
60% of lot area; one and one- half stories high; slab on ground;
at a cost of $30 per gross square foot.

3) During the past month a number of foreign and local architects
representing the foreign exhibitors have visited the Fair head-
quarters. Plans, some preliminary and some well advanced

have been submitted for discussion. Rules

regulations, and
codes have been discussed and explained. Action is beginning to

prefer to make tie-ins with local engineers and contractors
rather than architects. Newly appointed State architects
are also showing up.

MEMORANDUM TO ARTHUR. S. HODGKISS
FROM JOHN T. O'NEILL
SUBJECT:
Progress Report on Arterial Highway Construction
in Vicinity of World's Fair
With the approach of winter paving restrictions definite plans
and schedules must be formulated and approved by the State to insure
completion of the required paving by next spring. Asphaltic paving and
winter concrete need special attention.
One of the three lagging contracts has shown improvement to
the extent that it is no longer considered critical. The other two con-
tinue to be critical.
Contract No. 6, DeLillo Contracting Co., has
increased production, improved management and should
be able to be completed on schedule. Special attention
should be given to paving requirements for the remainder
of this season and during the winter. Coordination with
Contracts 17 and 5 are required.
Contract No. 2, Merritt-Chapman & Scott-Mount
Vernon Contracting Co. has made no significant improve-
ment in progress. This job is also closely tied into
World's Fair activities and 1equires careful planning and
coordination. The ramps at the Long Island Expressway
must be completed this season.
Contract No. 11, Johnson, Drake & Piper now have
two pile drivers, however, no st.bstantialimprovement in
progress is anticipated at this tirr.e. This job is closely
tied into World's Fair activities in the area and with Con-
tract No. 2 and requires careful planning and coordination.
Special attention to paving requirements is also required
on this contract.
-2-
Two additional contracts are beginning to lag to a critical
stage as follows:
Contract No. 15, A. E. Ottaviano, Inc. needs
better management and production, especially on the
completion of steel erection and bridge deck construc-
tion and paving.
Contract No. 16 has lost momentum and requires
a major improvement in management and production.
Special attention to paving requirements is particularly
important on this job as well as winter concrete work.
Completion of required paving this season is critical on Con-
tract No. 17, Grow, Catapano and Orlando and also requires coordination
with Contract No. 6,
The following is a summary of the money value of work by
Contracts Nos. 2, 6 and 11 for the past two months:
Merritt-Chapman & Scott - Mount Vernon Contracting
Co. (No, 2) earned $339,000 in August and according to the
estimate now being prepared will earn over $500,000 in
September. This estimate is high due to paving and steel
erection which will not continue. The average monthly
estimate required to complete on time is $700,000.
DeLillo Contracting Co. (No. 6) earned $127,000 in
August and $192,000 in September which is a satisfactory
rate.
Johnson, Dral\e & Piper (No. 11) earned $553, 000
in August and will earn about $650,000 in September accord-
ing to the estimate in preparation. The current rate is
double that prior to August l and is the rate required to com-
plete on time. Eowever, the surge is due to steel erection
which will peter out soon. Piles are critical.
