Re: Progress on Arterial Highway Construction
In the Vicinity of the World's Fair
(Refer to Map for Contract Locations)
There has been increased work effort and an improvement in progress
on most of the contracts.
With the opening yesterday of the eastbound roadway of the Grand Central
Parkway between Kew Gardens and 172nd Street and the Union Turnpike Bridge,
all major highways are open to traffic. The remaining unfinished roadways are
three ramps on the Van Wyck Expressway which will be completed in March and
the Jewel Avenue Bridge over the Grand Central Parkway and the adjacent section
of the collector-distributor road which is scheduled for completion before the
Fair opens.
The asphaltic concrete paving and resurfacing will be accelerated as a re-
sult of agreements between the State and the Asphalt subcontractors involved.
These subcontractors, Columbia Asphalt (Tully & DiNapoli) and Turecamo have
agreed to resume paving operations on March 2, 1964. Close coordination and
supervision of this work by the State is still required.
Meetings are being held by the State with the Fair, Park Department and
the contractors to iron out conflicts and improve coordination. Particular emphasis
is being placed on accelerating fencing, cleanup and landscaping work. Continuous
close coordination and supervision of this phase of the work will also be required by
the State.
...
...
- 2 -
Contract No. 2 (Merritt-Mt. Vernon) has substantially increased the
labor forces and eqctpment. A continuous maximum. effort is required par-
ticularly on curbing, fencing, guiderails, cleanup and landscaping prepara-
tion. The Fair
1
s bridge, Structure 13, over the Grand Central Parkway,
can be opened to traffic as soon as the approaches are completed by the Fair.
Contract No. 3 (Tully & Di:N:a.Roli} will complete the demolition of the
temporary Union Turnpike Bridge next week. This will permit the lagging
cleanup and landscaping preparation work to be accelerated.
Contract No. 6 !Hendr!ck5on Bros.) has been taken away from DeLillQ
and turned over to Hendrickson Bros. for completion. The work is scheduled
for by April 15th.
Contract No. 11 (Johnson, Drake & Piper) has agreed to resume work
immediately. In addition to completing some asphaltic paving on the VanWyck
Expressway ramps, the restoration of the Flushing River, fencing, cleanup
and landscaping preparation must be accelerated.
Contract No. 13 (Arthur Johnson) continues to improve progress. The
completion of this contract prior to the opening of the Fair is based on a very
tight schedule. Maximum advantage must be taken of all suitable weather to
complete the Jewel Avenue bridge and the ramps, collector-distributor road
and the entrance read to the Fair parking area as soon as possible.

MEETING - MARCH 6, 1964
Herewith report on status of construction as of
February 26, 1964.
EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE REPORT
MARCH 6, 1964
Submitted by William Denny
As we approach the opening date of the Fair, with only 33 normal
working days remaining, we find it necessary to urge the contractors of some
of the pavilions to work overtime and on Saturdays and also to increase their
labor force.
At present we have 159 pavilions in some phase of construction and
others whose exhibits are being installed. This represents about 311 million
dollars in construction costs.
Labor is responding very well with only an occasional work stoppage
or jurisdictional dispute. None have been too serious to date. The truckers
have caused no delays since the contractors organized a truck-drivers pool
to take care of the non-union trucks.
On-site parking for workmen has created a problem for the road
contractor in placing the final coat of asphalt. We held a meeting of all exhibitors
and have created an Exhibitors' Committee to work with the World's Fair on the
parking problem. It is too early for results but we are hopeful that our problem
will be solved.
Our Engineers continually survey the critical exhibitors who are lagging
on construction and they are receiving special attention from top management.

Each one has to be treated a little differently. Some had a late start- others
have had and/or are having financial problems. Division heads are working with
these in an effort to help them.
For your information -please note "Status of All Exhibits" which has
changed from last report.

Your approval is requested of the following report for presentation to the
Executive Committee.
Since the last report, major progress has been made on the electrical system.
Under supplementary arrangements by the World's Fair Corporation, it is now antici-
pated that the entire low tension electrical system will be completed by 10 March with
the exception of final trouble shooting and punch list items.
Progress has also been made on paving; a second paving machine started
work on 24 February and night shifts are starting on March 2nd. Completion of all
aspects of paving throughout the Fair site is expected by the end of March.
Other work is generally going well. All aspects of the Pavilion are pro-
gressing on schedule. The Singer Bowl (former Arena) has had its schedule com-
plicated by the supplementary construction of the Singer Company, but timely com-
pletion is expected. A great deal of landscaping work remains to be accomplished
by both the Fair Corporation and exhibitors, and this work will be getting into high
gear as weather improves in the near future. The Amphitheatre roof is on a tight
schedule and there have been some delays in steel fabrication. Overtime is being
worked to obtain maximum time for rehearsals prior to opening.
The U.S. Space Park is the most critical construction job remaining for
the Fair Corporation. All piles are in place, the foundation has been placed for the
SATURN and all other foundations are expected to be complete by March 7th. Provided
that NASA and the Defense Department live up to their obligations, the Space Park
will be ready on time.

FROM: William Whipple, Jr.
suBJEcT: U.S. Space Park
On November 15, 1963 you approved proceeding with the
U. S. Space Park project at Clarke & Rapuano's preliminary estimate
of $390, 000.
Since that time the scope of the work has increased to include
display of additional space vehicle models, and provision of a larger
foundation under the Titan II missile to support the heavier Titan m
which the Government plans to display for the 1965 season. Extra
costs have also been entailed to make up time lost by delays of
Government in submitting design data, and to provide for assembly
of items more complex than originally expected.
Current construction cost estimate is $550, 000.
Request approval for the necessary additional expenditure.

From: Samuel I. Rosenman
Subject: LAKE AMUSEMENT AREA STATUS REPORT
Construction on all projects in the Lake Amusement Area,
with a few exceptions, is proceeding satisfactorily and most
are nearing completion. Those concessionaires who appear to
be lagging are being required to accelerate construction sched-
ules, to employ additional crews and to work overtime shifts
and Saturdays. It is expected that all concessions will be
completed before Opening Day.
The lease for the American Indian Pavilion was formally
terminated after the sponsors served notice that they were
unable to proceed with the project. The Fair's letter of
termination is being submitted for ratification at this meeting.
Intensive efforts were put forth to secure new sponsors
for an American Indian Pavilion and, at one point, it appeared
likely that a new lease would be signed. However, negotiations
collapsed on February 27, 1964. We are now negotiating with
Cayuga Construction Company to take this over$ The operators
or Kiddyland have also indicated an interest in installing
additional rides in this space. If a firm arrangement can
not be made for this space by March 10, 1964, we will recom-
mend that the space be landscaped.
2.
There are also being submitted for ratification at this
meeting (a) a modification of the lease with Amphitheatre,
Inc. providing for the construction of the roof and (b) the
consent given by the Fair Corporation to W-T Development Com-
pany, Inc., the operators of Flume Ride and Kiddyland, to a
pledge of stock and assignment of lease as collateral secur-
ity for loans.
The Santa Maria concessionaire has requested the consent
of the Fair Corporation (a) to the modification of his license
agreement to permit him to sell Spanish and Portuguese mer-
chandise, (b) to an assignment of his license agreement to a
corporation wholly-owned by the concessionaire and (c) to cer-
tain sub-licensing arrangements. The documents setting forth
these various transactions are now being reviewed by counsel
for the Fair.

1. Billy Graham Exhibit: Structure is fully enclosed and interior
work is proceeding on schedule. Only one scene remains to be made for
the movie. Plans are complete for volunteer worker shake downs in early
April.
2. Masonic Brotherhood Foundation: Structure fully enclosed
and interior work on schedule.
3. Russian Orthodox Church: Mr. Hennessy, their representative,
told me, following his visit to the site from San Francisco this week, that
"all will be ready on Opening Day.

4. Boy Scouts of America: Duties for the Scout Service Corps
have been developed in coordination with all affected departments and will
be submitted to you for final approval shortly. The simple structures in the
exhibit area are on schedule. Modification of their lease to permit selling
and the erection of an additional tent waits on a formal request from them which
they have promised me.
5. Mormon Exhibit: Everything is in order. No problems.
The lowering of the Angel to the top of the center tower is now, very tentatively,
scheduled for mid-March.
6. Protestant and Orthodox Center: Erection of the steel columns
in the "forecourt" has begun. Some space is still available inside for sub-
exhibitors and I am told, informally, that the building is "not yet fully under-
written." But it will open, because (as you remember) the Protestant Council
of the City of New York has guaranteed all construction costs.
7. Long Island Exhibit: Although our people suggest this exhibit
is behind schedule, their staff is sanguine, and claims all is okay.
Already their publicity has been outstanding and widespread.

TO: MR. MOSES DATE: MARCH 2, 1964
FROM: STUART CONSTABLE
SUBJECT:
In order to insure compliance with the procedures that will
be applicable with respect to on-site deliveries during the operating
period of the Fair, we believe that subdivision (b) of Article 5 of Part
3 of the Fair Corporation's Special Regulations be amended to read
as follows:
Emergency Deliveries:
(1) Deliveries from outside the Fair site during hours of public
operation will be permitted only in actual emergencies and then
only when authorized by the Fair Corporation. Such deliveries
will be permitted through Gate #9 situated at the intersection
of Avery Road and 13lst street to the Maintenance Service Area
only.
Delivery beyond the above point will be handled by an independent
contractor of the Fair Corporation. Uniform prices approved
by the Fair Corporation will be charged by such contractor for
handling such emergency deliveries. Before any delivery is
made, such contractor will call the participant in question. The
participant may, if feasible and at his option, send a messenger
to transport the material to his own site, thereby avoiding any
charge by the independent contractor.
Requests for emergency service will be processed through the
Office of the Director of Maintenance and Security.
A uniform charge of $5.00 will be made for each entry.
{2) Private automobiles, taxis and limousines are prohibited at
all times from entering the Fair grounds, except with special
permission of the Fair Corporation.

This amendment has been approved as to form by counsel.

- 2 - February 24, 1964
We have reached final agreement with
Hans Holterbosch, Inc., the American
importer of Lmvenbrau beer for the
construction of an outdoor rathskeller.
The lease is nm.r under preparation and
we expect to have it executed early next
week.
Work is continuing with a double shift
schedule to begin on or before March 1.
The Commissioner of Public Works has held
coordination meetings with all contractors
and designers to establish construction
completion dates. These dates indicate
that the lower level can be opened to the
public by June 1 and the upper level during
the first week in July. I have developed an
exhibit installation schedule, conunensurate
with dates and advised the exhibitors
accordingly.
In the past six weeks, the contractor has
accelerated construction activities to the
extent that we feel that completion by
Opening Day can be definitely achieved.
However, the schedule is still a tight one.
During this reporting period, the steel was
topped out and we expect that in the next
three weeks the entire building will be
enclosed.

COPYT01
You will recall that last Friday you approvec the Lowenbrau project
provided that a number of changes could be made. After I left you, I concluded
negotiations with the lessee and we made the necessary changes.
Lowenbrau has agreed to construct a very authentic outdoor rathskeller.
The project will be first class and the buildings will have substance, i.e. there
will be no fake scenery permitted.
In order to ensure the completion of construction well in advance of
Opening Day, Lowenbrau has begun fabrication and is spending a substantial
amount of money even though the lease has not yet been prepared.
Erwit Witt has approved the financial arrangements (the Fair will
receive from 6% to 10% of gross revenue with a minimum payment of $60,000.).
We will expedite this lease so that it can be presented to the
Executive Committee at its meeting on March 6th.

INDU3 TRIAL SECTION
PROGRESS REPORT
(as of February 27, 1964)
1. THE CONTlliENTAL INSURANCE COMPANIES - An amendment to
their lease is now being prepared covering an extra 7, 004 sq. ft.
in Block 11, to the rear of the Continental Insurance lot and running
to the Parker Pen line, for an additional rental of $8,000. This
area has in fact been landscaped.
2. MULTIPLES
Pavilion of American Interiors - Mr. S. Robert Elton, President of
the Pavilion of American Interiors, has been running into financial
diffi.Cl.llties. He claims he is 75% rented, with about $1, 000,000 worth
of space remaining to be leased. However, in order for him to proceed
immediately with an accelerated schedule of construction, Mr. Elton is
desperately in need of $500,000 worth of additional financing. Mr. Witt
has been working with Mr. Elton to help him secure such a loan from
the First National City Bank.
Better Living- Allen Christensen and Henry Beck, who have undertaken
financial responsibility for this Pavilion, are committed to an investment
of approximately $8, 500, 000; because Messrs. Christensen and Beck are
substantial citizens there need be no concern over the stability of Better
Living. Rentals, however, have not been proceeding satisfactorily. The
Pavilion is designed to accommodate 150,000 sq. ft. and to date they
report to us that they have rented 90,000 sq. ft., with another 15,000
sq. ft. under serious negotiation. Construction progress has not been
altogether satisfactory but we are assured that the building will be ready
on time. I have found that the integrity of the Better Living people has
been such that we can rely on their promises. From all appearances, the
elements of the building, including Women's Headquarters, Art Exhibit,
Bordens, etc., should make this an outstanding attraction at the Fair.
Hall of Education - Construction seems to be proceeding on schedule.
Exhibits inside the building, however, remain undistinguished according
to the list we have received. The first floor appears to have been fully
rented. The second floor, on the other hand, has little space rented.
Drs. Dechter and Stavisky, in charge of the Pavilion, expect a spurt of
activity from latecomers in the next two months. We had an unfortunate
experience with Dr. Dechter regarding his unauthorized release to the
newspapers on the Walter Keane painting, as the selection of its "Board
of Directors, "for the official theme of the Hall of Education. On Mr. Moses'
instructions we have informed Dr. Dechter that under no conditions will the
Keane painting be permitted in the Pavilion.
House of Good Taste - Construction seems to be on schedule. We anticipate
that the House of Good Taste will have little difficulty being ready on time.
The houses in this complex have received very favorable publicity (see, for
example, the article in Look Magazine, F e b r ~ a r y 11, 1964 issua.

PROGRESS REPORT
(as of February 27, 1964)
2. MULTIPLES (continued)
World of Food - Since the last meeting of the Executive Committee,
World of Food litigation has been in progress for four full weeks.
Over 1700 pages of testimony are in the record, together with several
hundred exhibits. The trial has been a severe strain on Fair person-
nel, most especially the Legal Department. I have already expressed
to Mr. Moses my confidence and respect for the superb job which
Mr. Preusse and Mr. Thornton have accomplished in this litigation.
The case has been prepared with consummate skill. In addition to
myself, Mr. Douglas, Mr. Denny, General Potter, General Whipple,
Mr. Witt and several members of my staff have been on the stand.
Some of us have been under subpoena for weeks so that an inordinate
amount of time was spent wastefully.
During the final week of the litigation four of the plaintiff interveners
representing sublessees (Hershey, Burnham & Morrill, Duffy Mott and
Knox Gelatin) withdrew from the suit. Indeed, Hershey's counsel ex-
plained to me the reasons for his company's withdrawal were because
"we were fed up" and thought the Fair had been "more than patient. "
A few of the interveners, however, have remained in the suit including,
most prominently, Lipton.
Briefs were filed by all parties on Wednesday, February 26th. Reply
briefs are due on Friday, February 28th.
3. SPECIAL PROJECTS
Mayo Clinic- Drs. Carr and Carlson of the Mayo Clinic were at the
Fair on February 17th.
I am planning to make a trip to Rochester, Minnesota, February 27th
to March 1st, to talk with the Mayo Clinic Board of Directors about the
possibility of a Medical Exhibit. The Mayo Museum is reputed to be
one of the best health exhibits in the country and we are hopeful that we
can obtain their material, which should occupy some 5, 000 sq. ft. We are
thinking in terms of an entrance charge and, in all probability, in order
to meet the schedule for this year we will have to locate in a multiple
exhibit (either the Hall of Education or Better Living).

Pan American Highway Gardens - This is a Fair-sponsored exhibit,
celebrating the completion of the Inter-American Highway. The
area covers 4 acres and will be landscaped by Clarke & Rapuano,
at Fair cost. A semi-tropical garden will be created, similar to
the scenery found along this Highway.
Eastman Kodak will furnish twelve large photomurals depicting
scenes from the Highway (about 20' x 14') for picture-taking purposes.
Dr. Bertram D. Tallamy, consultant to the Gardens, has just made a
trip which covered Mexico City, Costa Rico, El Salvador, Nicaragua,
Honduras, Guatemala, and the Yucatan peninsula to collect photo-
graphic material and to arrange for the loan of sculpture, artifacts,
etc. , for the Gardens. We are awaiting details on costs.

WORLD OF FOOD OPINION
The attention of the Executive Committee
is called to the extraordinary phraseology
1n this opinion.
SUPREME COURT, NEW YORK COUNTY
SPECIAL AND TRIAL TERM, PART XII

WORLD O:B' FOOD, lliC. ,
Plaintiff,
-against-
NEW YORK WORLD'S FAIR 1964-1965
CORPORATION, CHARLES MIESMER, INC. ,
and FASSLER IRON WORKS, INCORPORATED,
Defendants.

DICKENS, J.
A permanent injunction is sought in this action by
the World of Food, Inc. (hereinafter referred to as the
Index No.
915/G'l
"Food") and by several others as interveners, against the New
York World's Fair Corporation (hereinafter referred to
as "Wor.lds Fair") and two others.
In the adchnnum clause of Food's complaint, Food, in
substance, prays that World's Fair be enjoined from preventing
and interfering with the completion of the construction of
Food's Pavilion at the World's Fair site;. that the party defend-
ants, Fassler and Miesmer, the contractors, be enjoined from
refusing to complete their construction work as required by
their respective contracts; and that World's Fair be enjoined
from interfering with Food's bonita.ry rights as a terre-tenant
by virtue of a written lease from World's Fair, and also from
interfering with the bonitary rights of the other terre-tenants
by virtue of subleases from Food.
This action in chancery and the subsequent interven-
tion proceedings, were the outcome of the c<mcellu.tion of
... '
Food's lease, which was done without the consent or the knowl-
edge of the undertenants, each of whom had become a tenant
paravail under a permissive clause provided in the primary
lease, that is, in the lease to Food. The result of the
cancellation was that the leases of the undertenants, too, went
by the board.
Ji the problem conf.ronting me were one solely
between World's Fair and Foods, perhaps I would, in the circum-
stances here, be induced to keep to the rule that equity will
not interfere because a bargain is hard and unreasonable
(In re Ruszkiewicz' Estate, 41 N. Y. S. 2d 437, a.ffd. 266 A. D.
709, 41 N.Y. S. 2d 568), or because a bargain is wise or
unwise. Parmelee v. Cameron, 41 N. Y. 392, 395 middle. But,
here the problem is of a deeper hue. The rights of subtenants,
whose investments total about nine hundred thousand dolla.rs,
have unceremoniously been completely rubbed out, when, in good
conscience, World's Fair should have spoken before acting,
instead of keeping silent in its foursquare attitude toward
the subtenants. See Lowe v. Feldman, 11 Misc. 2d 8,
168 N. Y. S. 2d 674, affd. 6 A. D. 2d 684, 174 N. Y. S. 2d 949.
Without the necessity here of anatomizing the evi-
dence of the voluminous record, a cyclopedic review of which I
have personally made, nevertheless, and considered, I now come
to the sixty-four dollar question: For the sa.'l(e of the inter-
veners, should an injunction be granted, bearing in mind that
they face to lose not only their monetary investments in
rentals and in construction costs under the superficies of their
leases, resulting thereby in an unjust enrichment by World's
Fair (see Lowe v. Feldman, supra, N. Y. S., p. 165 bottom;
Baker v. Baker, 60 N. Y. S. 2d, 4, 6 bottom), but also the
exhilirating opportunity of pa.rticipatinCJ, po;..;sibly, in the
greatest WorJd'.s Fair Jf the cc:ntury'!'
.,
-. ~ ~ -
If 1 arn to lend countenance to the principles that good
faith and fair dealing, that is, the bona fides, are required
of all paxties to a contract (Lowe v. Feldman, supra); that
common sense is to be consulted in the construction of evidence
(Townsend v. Auld, 10 Misc. 343, 31 N.Y. S. 29, 31 top); that the
chief function of courts is to see that justice is done (Goeguski
v. Town of Oyster Bay, 19 Misc. 2d 763, 187 N.Y. S. 2d 432); and
that a court of equity acts to promote honesty and fair dealing as
well as to protect the purchasing public and the property rights
of individuals (Madison Sq. Garden Corp. v. Universal Pictures,
255 A.D. 459, 78 N.Y. S. 2d 845), -in the face of all these prin-
ciples against the background of the facts, then I have no al-
ternative but to grant injunctive relief.
In re Fleming, 5 A. D. 190, 192 bottom, 39 N.Y. S. 156,
157 middle, appears the following, which pointedly answers the
view of World's Fair on this subject:
"Are the courts to grant or deny civil rights
upon the balance of expediencies? We think not.
The petitioner's application should be granted
or denied upon the facts properly before the
court in this proceeding, - in other words,
upon the pleadings and proofs of the parties.
The court should not deny justice to the parties
immediately before it upon the notion that the
public good may be promoted by its temporary
refusal to proceed according to law."
A permanent injunction is granted. World's Fair is en-
joined from interferring with the construction of the Pavilion
for the World of Foods, Inc., and with its business matters per-
taining thereto. The complaint against defendants Fassler
and Miesmer is dismissed.
Submit specific proposed findings of fact and conclusions
of law with proposed judgment, in accordance with the context of
this opinion.
