NEW YORK WORLD'S FAIR, March 2 --- The following statement
was released today (Monday) by Robert Moses, president of the New
York World's Fair 1964-1965 Corporation:
On October 9, 1962, the executives of the Fair announced an
advance package sale of entrance tickets, beginning May 1, 1963 and
ending February 29, 1964, The purposes were to advertise attractions,
facilitate early family plans by visitors and obtain cash to reduce
borrowing. The target at that time was 10,000
1
000 tickets involving
$12,000,000 in cash,
We are happy to announce that the exact number of tickets
purchased and the total in cash as of the close of business February
29, 1964 was 28,034,987 tickets and cash, almost three
times the figures aimed at, This is a larger advance sale than any
previously achieved by any comparable enterprise anywhere. It gives
evidence of the popularity of the Fair and indicates that the pre-
dicted total of 70
1
000
1
000 vtsitors will probably be considerably
exceeded,
FROM: Wm. J. Donoghue Corporation

This sale was directed by Thomas J, Chairman ot
the Executive Committee, and supported by the Finance Committee and
many other friends.
As a result of the excess of cash receipts from tioket sales
over the estimates, the Fair Corporation has repaid today the
$3 million in bank loans made at the latter part of November.,
1963, which were to mature on August 1, 1964. It is anticipated
that the $30 million 6% Notes outstanding, maturing on August 1, 1966,
will be paid off before the end ot 1964.

ROBERT MOSES
PRESIDENT
March 4, 1964
NEW YORK WORLD'S FAIR, March 8 --- More than 2
1
000 of the nation's
top athletes ~ 1 1 1 compete in fifteen or the scheduled nineteen Olympic
tryouts to be held at the New York 1964-1965 World's Fair and the near-
by metropolitan area this spring and summer, it was announced today by
Robert Moses, President of the International Exhibition. William s.
Adams, Jr., is Fair Sports Program Director.
The City of New York and the Fair will serve as co-hosts during
the 59 "Olympic Days" to be held in conjunction with the World's Fair.
The basketball tryouts will inaugurate the World's Fair Olympic
program, April 2-4, and the canoeing trials will conclude the compre-
hensive schedule, Sept. 12-13. The New York World's Fair will open on
April 22 and continue through Oct. 18. The XVIII Olympic Games are
alated for Oct. 10-24, 1964, in Tokyo, Japan.
Sports history also is being established as this marks the first
time in u. s. Olympic annals that so many events have been assigned to
a single region. In the words of Kenneth L. Wilson, president or the
u. s. Olympic Committee:
"The New York Fair and its unprecedented facilities tor handling
huge crowds will make it possible for a greater number of people than
ever before to witness the tryouts for the XVIII Olympiad."
Besides the Olympic tryouts, the World's Fair will also be the
scene of National A,A.u. championships 1n judo, wetghtltfting (junior)
and wrestling (Greco Roman and Free Style). Winners of the national

gymnastic titles

to be decided at nearby u. s. Merchant Marine
Academy, Kings Point, L. I., May 7-9, will be officially presented
their medals on May 10, at the Fair's Pavilion. There will also be
gymnastic eXhibitions at that time.
Olympic tryouts in boxing and wrestling will take place at the
Fatrs Singer Bowl, which has a seating capacity of 18,000. Fencing
and weightlift1ng will be contested in the Fair's 2,100-seat Assembly
Pavilion and judo at the Singer Bowl.
Menfs and women's track and field trials, sure to attract
capacity crowds, will be held at Downing Stadium on Randalls Island,
N. Y. Swimming, diving and water polo events will be staged at the
Astoria Pool, Queens.
The new Olympic 6-lane water course at Pelham Bay Lagoon, Bronx,
to be completed by March 14, will be the scene of the rowing and
canoeing tryouts. st. John's University and Purdue are scheduled to
open the crew season on that date. The renovated course will be the
locale for many collegiate, club, sectional, national and international
races before the Olympic trials take place. The permanent layout will
be the scene of many major races hereafter.
The Olympia cycling speed testa will take place at Kissena Parks
new track, and cycling road races in Central Park. Volleyball tryouts
wtll be at Queens College, Flushing.
The Stadium at Randalls Island is presently undergoing a complete
refurbishing in seating, track conditioning, etc. The resurfaced
quarter-mile track should be conducive to many record-breaking ach1eve-
mentsa A crowd of 22,000 can be accommodated at the Stadium.
Nothing is being left undone by the City and World's Fair
authorities in seeing that the razor-sharp and talent-loaded a t h l e t e s ~
men and women from all parts of the country, compete under the beat
conditions possible in earning the right to represent Uncle Sam in
the Olympics.
More than $1,000,000 is being spent in capital improvements to
make the holding of the Olympic tryouts tn the metropolitan area the
greatest ever.

Visitors from every state in the country and from nations through-
out the world will view the exciting athletic competitions as well as
see the World's Fair expositions of culture, science and
industry.
Following the Olympic tryouts, the qualifying some 307
men and 79 women, will assemble in Los Angeles early in September. By
Sept. 20, the entire Olympic contingent will go through processing
and outfitting prior to their departure to Tokyo via jet airliner the
last week in the month,
The move to bring the important Olympic tryouts to New York and
the Fair was initiated more than two years ago by Mayor Robert F.
Wagner and Fair President Robert Moses. Their bid for the staging of
this unprecedented number of Olympic tryouts in this region was
strongly backed by the Mayor and Mr. Moses who offered the u. So
Olympic Committee $350,000 for expenses connected with the staging or
the tryouts in New York, The City is contributing $250,000, the Fair
the remainder.
Said the Mayor and Mr. Moses in a joint statement: "The avail
ability or Flushing Meadow Park, site of the Fair, for some of these
events, together with the many other first-class facilities in the
New York area, makes the city by far the most approprtate location
for th"e tryouts."
After six months of deliberation on the bid, the u. s. Olympic
Committee accepted the offer, On June 20, 1962, the Committee sent
Mayor Wagner and Mr. Moses the following message:
"Your invitation accepted by unanimous vote of the Committee."
u. s. Olympic Committee President Wilson also announced to the
press that "these tryouts are major sports events in themselves. The
opportunity to compete before record crowds will stimulate our greatest
amateur athletes to top performances. This will, again, stimulate
Americas interest in our athletes and their standing in the fields or
international competition."
Both the Mayor and Mr. Moses characterized the Olympic Games as
"one of mankind r s great efforts to forward the understanding between
nations." They also expressed gratification in having the tryouts

NEW YORK WORLD'S FAIR, Mar. 5 --- The smallest and greenest or
all pavilions at the New York 1964-1965 World's Fair will be the
distinction belonging to Julimar Farm Corporation according to word
received by Fair otticials. Conceived by Mrs. J. Phelps Revson or
Weston, Conn., the firm's line will consist of newly established
gourmet roods, "packaged gardens" and "bread 'n' butter gifts".
Edward Durell Stone, internationally known architect, designed
the 1,768-square root pavilion, the smallest he has ever done. Stone
also has designed the Christian Science Pavilion, the Billy Graham
Pavilion and House of Good Taste Building at the Fair.
In reality, the exhibit is a rather-and-son partnership. Edward
D. Stone, Jr., himself a noted landscape designer in Fort Lauderdale,
Fla., has designed the fairyland of gardens that will landscape the
Julimarta exhibit area.
Located in the industrial section between Pepsi-Cola and Better
Living sites, the pavilion will be surrounded by an elevated base,
giving the effect of floating in a bed Of glistening gravel, a White
airy structure of glass and shutters.
The vest-pocket pavilion occupies a small part of the 35,000
square feet of exhibit space, 95% or which is landscaped. Besides a
contemporary Southern Plantation style building, other structures on
the site include a penthouse garden, 3/4 scale farm, featuring a
matched pair of imported miniature horses standing 32 inches high,
and an authentic Japanese teahouse to be flown in sections from the
Orient to the World's Fair.
(more)

.. 2 -
The Julimar exhibit will have a series of six separate gardens in
the general scheme, including a "touch and scent" garden for the blind,
The pavilion proper is also surrounded by redwood platform or
deck, which permits Fairgoers to view all the gardens and decide where
to begin the trip through the gardens,
The Herb Garden, featuring a Georgetown motif, is designed so
that the blind may touch and scent such fine herbs and spices as thyme,
sage, garlic, basil and parsley.
The oval English Garden has a broad expanse of lawn and is sur-
rounded by perennials, shrubs and trees, It features a pool and an
exotic aviary,
The Renaissance Garden highlights a clipped evergreen hedge and
formally laid out garden paths and pools, fountains and topiaries with
beds of marble chips edged with boxwood,
A gladstone path leads to the Penthouse and a landscaped terrace,
Beyond is a 3/4 scale farm with barn, yard and a pair of matched, live
32-inch high miniature horses.
A crystal stream flows throughout the entire Julimar exhibit. At
one point it leads to a Japanese teahouse wtth Japanese sculpture,
bonsai and flowering shrubs set among boulders, as well as a Japanese
formal garden of stones,
At one point, in the Polynesian area of the Julimar Farm exhibit,
the stream becomes a waterfall where flowering plants and large
tropical trees are featured,
More than 100 trees will grow in the exhibit.
Mrs, Revson chose the name of her Weston, Conn. home, Jultmar
Farm, to represent all products she will be marketing for the first
time,
The exhibit will emphasize uniqueness, grace, quiet beauty in
contrast to the gargantuan buildings and mechanical splendors of the
giants of industry in the World's Fair Industrial Section .
General contractor for the pavilion is Theodore L. Rubsamen,
Floral Parle, L. I. Landscape contractors are Rosedale Nurseries, Inc.,
Hawthorne, N. Y.

NEW YORK WORLD'S FAIR, Mar. 10 - The New York World's Fair
Commemorative stamp will be unveiled to the press at the dedication
or the Fair's Post Office, described as the "most modern in the world,"
on Wednesday, March 11, at 11:00 A.M.
Attending the ceremony at Flushing Meadow Park will be Postmaster
General John A. Gronouski, City officials, Fair President Robert Moses,
former Postmaster General James A. Farley, named by President Lyndon
B. Johnson as Honorary Postmaster for the Fair, members of Congress
and invited gaests.
Philatelists will have to wait until April 22, Opening Day of the
Fair, to buy the stamp. It will be sold in all of the nation's 35,000
post offices. Horizontal in shape, the stamp 1s green, measures
eight-tenths of an inch by 1-1/2 inches, and bears an imprint of the
Fair's Unisphere and Main Mall.
The Post Office, located in the northwest section of the Fair-
grounds, near Van Wyck Boulevard, is equipped with the latest electro-
mechanical devices. It will be able to process an estimated 250,000
pieces or mail a day.
Two such devices are a 77-foot long letter sorter and a cancelling
machine, called Mark II. The sorter, operated by 12 persons working
at typewriter-consoles, is capable of separating letters of 279
destinations at a speed of 36,000 per hour. Mark II can cancel and
stack ordinary size letter mail at speeds up to 30,000 per hour
regardless of the position of the stamp.

Postmaster General Gronouski, hailing the Fair's Post Office as
the most modern in the world, called it a "working laboratory" for the
handling of bulk volume of mail. "Advanced mechanization is the only
means of keeping pace with the huge national mail volume expected to
reach or exceed a new high of 70 billion pieces this year," said Mr.
Gronouski.
The Post Office will be open every day of the Fair, including
Sundays, from 9:00A.M. to 10:00 P.M., the Fair's regular hours, and
will employ a staff of 60, not including collectors and deliverers.
A number will be multi-lingual to assist foreign visitors.
One unusual feature will be spectator galleries from which
visitors can view the entire processing of incoming and outgoing mail.
Numbered lights will direct a viewer's attention to the different
operations and recorded messages will describe them.
One exhibition will be selected philatelic displays from the
Post Office Department's extensive collection, ranging from the first
United States stamp issue of 1847 to the present. A lawn patio at
the entrance will display colorful and unusual mail deposit boxes sent
as gifts to the Government by foreign nations throughout the world.
Following the Fair, the boxes will be placed on permanent exhibition
on the lawn of the Post Office Department Building in Washington, D.C.
The interior of the Post Office will contain 10 working counters,
writing desks with pens, stamp vending machines, mail drops, more than
400 look boxes for exhibitors and concessionaires, and public tele-
phones.
The structure, occupying 17,752 square feet on a 45,000 square
foot plot, was built by the World's Fair Corporation at no cost to the
Federal Government.
Though the Post Office will not open officially until April 22,
its collection and delivery facilities will be made available to Fair
personnel, exhibitors and concessionaires starting March 16.

YORK WORLD'S FAIR, Mar. 11 --- The Fair Corporation has
received inquiries from the press concerning the huge A & P sign
located some 300 feet from the northerly boundary of the World's Fair,
The sign, about 250 feet long, is on the roof of an A & P bakery,
It spells out, in 10-foot high neon letters, "JANE PARKER A & P BAKED
FOODS,"
Construction on the sign was started by A & P several years after
construction of the World's Fair began and was completed in February
1963. Although A & P has declined to exhibit at the Fair, the sign,
judging from its location and the time or its erection, is obviously
designed to attract the attention of Fair visitors, It has no other
purpose unless it is to be a conspicuous and obtrusive advertisement
overshadowing Flushing Meadow Park after the Fair.
The sign is clearly visible throughout a major portion of the
Fair, particularly at night. It is, in our opinion, a prime example
of the worst kind of advertising, utterly devoid of good taste.
We believe the sign is an affront to the exhibitors at the Fair
who are spending hundreds of millions of dollars to present the best
side of American life and to the 10,000,000 visitors who will come to
the Fair from all corners of the globe.
Among other things, the Fair has invested a large sum in a
fountain display with fireworks -- a spectacular use of colored jets
of water rising to unprecedented heights -- to be presented nightly,
constituting one of our moat attractive and colorful entertainment
(more)
.
.. A & P Sign
3/64-Rl7
features. Unless the offending A & P sign with its commercial neon
lighting is blocked out, it Will seriously interfere with the fountain
and fireworks displays and destroy their effects.
In view of complaints from exhibitors and others, the Fair, on a
number of occasions, asked A & P to remove the sign. A & P, through
its counsel, expt'essed a supposed "willingness to cooperate with the
Fait- in evet'y reasonable way" and a purported "interest in the Faii''s
success". However, it showed no disposition to take the sign down,
even during the Fair, apparently because "an investment of well over
$100,000
11
is involved. Correspondence with John T. Cahill, Counsel
f ~ r A & P, is attached.
The World's Fair legislation permits the Board of Estimate of the
City to limit signs within 500 feet of the Fair site. The legislation
was passed to insure the beauty of the Fair and to provide fot' the
safety, convenience and comfort of Fair visitors. While it might be
possible to control the sign through rules promulgated under such
legislation, counsel for A & P has warned that any attempt to do so
will "present serious legal questions." It appears, therefore, that
any effort to proceed against A & P legally will result in a lawsuit
which might not be decided until the Fait' is over.
Since A & P has not done anything about the sign, and has shown
no inclination to do anything, the Fair, in the interest of exhibitors
and the public, has been studying ways of screening the sign from view.
Our plans call for artificial sht'ubbery and decorative balloons call-
ing attention to the Jonee Beach State Park World's Fair 80 Days
Around the World Show, a show timed to run with the Fair seasons and
to serve as an important auxiliary attraction of the Fair.

Dear Johnny:
September 27, 1963
The A & P Company has a very large sign

Jane Parker
A & P Baked Foods

on top of' 1 ts building located some three
hundred feet north of the boundary of the World's Fair premises.
A number of complaints have been made to us to the general
effect that the sign will be most unsightly and inappropriate
during the Fair.
I understand that some question is presented as to
the legality of this sign under general law and that, in any
event, the Board of Estimate under our special World's Fair
legislation could direct its removal during the Fair. However,
I wonder 1f you would be good enough to use your good offices
to see whether the A & P, as a gesture of its good will toward
the Fair, would voluntarily take the sign down while the Fair
is in progress.
Cordially,

Dear Bob:
A & P has been considering the question raised by
your letter of ser.tember 27, 1963 concerning the "Jane Parker
A & P Baked Foods' sign, which you say may be within 500 feet
of the Fair's boundary, and wishes me to bring to your atten-
tion certain pertinent facts of which you may not be aware,
The negotiations for the purchase by A & P of the
property on which the A & P bakery is located were conducted
in 1958 and the contract was entered into in early 1959 well
before the possibility of the Fair appeared in public print.
That a large sign would be erected on the bakery roof a
practice generally folloNed by A & P and, as you know, by
other commercial enterprises - was also under consideration
at that time, The structure of the bakery building was
designed to support the sign, Plans for the sign were filed
and the necessary permit obtained in 1961. Construction of
the sign itself was commenced in 1962, when the bakery building
was sufficiently far along, and completed in February, 1963,
The sign represents an investment of well over $100,000. Its
removal and later re-erection would be very costly.
You may also \'lish to know that the A & P bakery is
considered to be a show place of the bakery industry. It is
completely automated with the most modern equipment and is
probably the largest bakery plant of its type in the United
States, It is continually being toured by rood and drug
officials from many states. I am sure you will agree that
A & P is entitled to be proud of such a facility.
So far as I have been able to ascertain no action
has been taken by the Board of Estimate under Chapter 428 of
the Laws of 1960 to regulate signs within 500 feet of the
boundaries of the Fair premises. Any regulations now adopted
which purported to have a retroactive effect would present
serious legal questions if applied to the A & P sign.
A & P wishes me to express its willingness to co-
operate with the Fair in every reasonable way and ita interest
in the Fair's success,
Sincerely,
/s/ John

Dear Johnny:
November 1, 1963
I have your letter of October 29th expressing A&P's
"willingness to cooperate with the Fair in e,,ery reasonable
way and its interest in the Fair's success," coupled with its
refusal to do anything about the sign, even during the Fair,
in view of the fact it has invested $100,000 in it.. I fail
to see the pertinency of the argument that this bakery is a
completely automated show place of the bakery industry.
Apparently, we shall have to pass on A&P's concept of
cooperation to the people who have been complaining about the
lack of good taste of displaying such a huge sign during the
Fair. Why not cut down the size as a matter of cooperation?
Cordially,

NEW YORK--The daring, dash and defying antics of stunt
drivers guiding their cars through the air and out of high speed
spins will be staged daily at the 1964-65 New York World's Fair.
The Auto Thrill Show, featuring the Jack Kochman New York
World's Fair Hell Drivers, will be produced at a $2,500,000 site
where a highbanked, figure eight, asphalt track has been constructed.
For more than three years, engineers and designers have worked to
perfect the track-the first one ever to be designed for auto thrill
shows.
Located in the Transportation Area of the World's Fair, the
181,000 sq. ft. site will offer Fairgoers an hour-long program four
times a day on weekdays and eight times daily on weekends and
holidays. The 5600 seat stadium was designed to give every fan a
good view of the action-packed program.
The World's Fair Hell Drivers are the direct successors to the
Jimmy Lynch Death Dodgers which performed in the 1939-40 New York
World's Fair. Rocky Fisher and Johnny RogersJ veteran stunt drivers
who drove in the World's Fair 25 years ago, will display their skills
at moat of the 1800 performances scheduled for the 1964-65 Fair
calendar.
The Hell Drivers will drive stock Dodge automobiles whose
only modification is a heavy-duty suspension system needed for the
exacting and punishing stunts, especially the 70 foot ramp-to-ramp
jump.
- more -
3 / 6 ~ R-14 EX
- 2 -
A team of 30 drivers and stunt men will combine for each
performance. Sixteen cars and trucks--standard Dodge vehicles driven
on the highway--will be used for such events as the hi-ski (a car
riding on two wheels) reverse spin (car speeding down the track in
reverse is put into forward motion through split-second change of
gears) and the world famous ramp-to-ramp leap.
At one point, a clown stands impassively in the center of a
ramp while four vehicles zoom down on him and come within inches of
his tattered garb, During the years with the Hell Drivers, clown
Billy Don Jones, of Wichita, Kansas, has suffered only one serious
mishap--a broken leg.
Because each driver risks his life during each performance,
he skillfUlly and dutifUlly checks-out his Dodge vehicle before pull-
ing onto the track. He takes nothing for granted. The check-out
list is a long one that includes tire pressure, front and alignment,
gas supply and the trusted seat belts that get a sharp tug.
The Hell Drivers' skill is reflected in destruction, too.
During the run of the Fair, the Hell Drivers will demolish 1800
vehicles--one a performance.
But for the most part, positive, split-second timing, team
effort and precision are evidenced as cars zig-zag and criss-cross
the asphalt, figure-eight track. At one point in the program, four
vehicles race around and around in a single line just inches from
one another at times even engaged in friendly bumping or bumpers
around the treacherous far turns.
The Kochman Hell Drivers have toured throughout Europe, Central
and South America and have four units touring the United States. More
than 2,000,000 persons saw the Hell Drivers in 1963.
When the World's Fair opens on April 22nd, the Hell Drivers
will be staging their 9,426th performance.
Robert Conto, general manager of the Hell Drivers, said that
the organization has used Dodge vehicles for the past 23 years.
The Auto Thrill Show is the largest concessionaire at the
1964-65 New York World's Fair. It is situated near the spectacular
exhibits of the Big Three auto companies.
Transportation Productions Inc., of Brooklyn, New York, are
the producers of the Auto Thrill Show.

STATEMENT OF ROBERT MOSES IN ANSWER TO A LETTER
RELEASED BY COMPTROLLER BEAME
I have read Comptroller Beames statement regarding the
Post-Fair Flushing Meadow and related park improvements. I donrt
want to quibble. But the Comptroller begins by making an inaccurate
analysis of surplus funds. The facts are perfectly simple. Under
the present agreement bank loans must be repaid first. We have
just made such a repayment far in advance o ~ any expectation. Next
come our obligations to our noteholders. Then comes restoration.
Then comes the $241 000
1
000 advanced by the City for construction.
Then comes the balance for the completion o ~ the park, and finally
education.
The legislation proposed is merely permissive. It would
enable the Fair, if there is sufficient surplus, to combine demo
lition, salvage, cutting and filling and many other engineering
objectives with park completion. I ~ these objectives are not
pursued together, an enormous amount of confusion will result.
In fact it would be almost impossible to pursue this work econom-
ically and in a reasonable time otherwise than under the auspices
of those who built the Fair and are in close touch with the ex-
hibitors, foreign and domestic. I speak in this instance as a
City Park Commissioner who prepared the grounds and had charge ot
the basic improvements for the 1939-1940 World's Fair and then
FROM: Wm. J. Donoghue Corporatien

inherited the Fair grounds afterward. There was never enough money
left to complete the park and the result was that we left an area
which was a reproach to the City and or little use or recreation
purposes.
The Comptroller says that it is proposed to give the World's
Fair Corporation a blank check. There is not a nickel of surplus
beyond the obligations above-mentioned which could be used by the
Fair excepting with the full approval of the appropriate City
authorities.
The Comptroller's statement that this legislation implies that
parks are more important than schools is sheer nonsense. What he
proposes is to use as much of the surplus as he can get for current
expense budget school needs. This is a oneshot operation. Once
spent the money is gone, and it is good for only a year.
The Comptroller says responsibility for park development is
being given the executives of a non-profit corporation. The fact
is that there is no other conceivable way of getting the work done,
and the executives in question are all people of reputation upon
whom the Comptroller seems to depend to earn the surplus which will
not exist unless they earn it. When he speaks of a costly duplica-
tion of administrative effort he is again talking nonsense. The
purpose of this arrangement is to avoid duplication. The
Comptroller's statement that parks would be developed without the
supervision of the City Park Department is false. Not one nickel
beyond restoration could be spent without the approval or the
governing body of the City and the City Park Department, City
Planning Commission, etc. The Comptroller refers to the letting
of contracts without public bidding, not mentioning the fact that
the money will be earned by the World's Fair and is not City money.
He says there would be no audit by the City Comptrollerrs
office. The simplest thing in the world is to require audit as
part of the agreement between the Fair and the City and to write
this into the agreement. There would be no objection to this.
The Comptroller's implication that there would be other funds
(more)
. .
3/64-Rl8
- 3 -
available to finish Flushing Meadow Park is sheer nonsense. This
is not the tact. That was the story in 1940 and nothing came or it.
The Comptroller does not mention the fact that the City will
not only receive enormous benefits from those attending the Fair
and from the Fair itself and the goodwill or visitors, but will
also receive a v e ~ large and unexpected sum in taxes, notably in
the case or the sales tax. It has been estimated that the City
will receive close to $200,000
1
000 additional money through sales
tax collections due to purchases by visitors to the Fair.
What intrigues me the most is the Comptroller's avoidance or
the one.thing which I would think he would be glad as a matter or
simple justice to mention - namely, that this Fair, which he and
a number or others in the financial world prophesied would never
get orr the ground, has already made advance sales or tickets
aggregating over $35,000,000, that no such record has ever been
made in the case or any other Fair or any other similar show or
entertainment and that the only way or earning a huge surplus is
by the most prudent and able management. I think it would be
smart tor the Comptroller to give some attention to these factors
rather than to spend time dividing up surpluses which do not as
yet exist.
I would hardly go so tar as to expect Comptroller Beame to
devote very much time to congratulating the Fair on the progress
which has been made or to express gratitude on this score, but I
think he might retrain from attacking the Fair as though it were
some alien, unofficial promotion incapable or serving the best
interests or the City.

MARCH, 16,
STATEMENT BY THE
ROBERT MOSES
PRESIDENT
March 14, 1964
The position of A & P, as stated in legal papers served on
the Fair, is, in essence, "The public be damned."
A & P says bluntly that its baleful neon eye must beam
throughout the Fair -- must shine undimmed on the edifices of the
Fair, its fountains and shows.
Among other things, the Fair has invested over $2,500,000
in a fountain display with fireworks -- a spectacular use of
colored jets of water rising to unprecendented heights -- to be
presented nightly, constituting one of our moat attractive and
colorful entertainment features, Unless the A & P sign is blocked
out, it will seriously interfere with enjoyment of the fountain and
fireworks displays and destroy their effects,
to A & P, the Fair can take no steps, even on our
own property, to protect our exhibits and displays and millions of
visitors from having this football field length sign intrude upon
the beauty or the Fair. All the visitors to the Fatr must day and
night observe this unblinking and omnipresent Big Brother.
(more)
. '
l
3/64R21
We believe the many magnificent pavilions within the Fair
are entitled to be viewed without interference by A & P. Those
who scan the Dead Seas scrolls should not have to read also A & Pfs
sign. Those who glory in Michelangelo's P1eta should not have to
gain inspiration from the poetic message or JANE PARKER'S BAKED
l'OODS. Those who seek a quiet moment in our Garden of Meditation
should not be compelled to reflect on this strident advertising
slogan.
A & P proudly tells us the sign was built to summon the
attention of all and sundry for miles around, to "be visible across
Flushing Meadow Park to traffic approximately one mile distant
moving on Grand Central Parkway," "from the Long Island Expressway
approximately a mile and a quarter distant," "to passengers on the
Long Island Railroad and on the elevated lines operated by the New
York City Transit Authority," and to "pedestrians, travelers and
inhabitants of the surrounding area." All must look.
Onets home is still one's castle. The world's Fair grounds
are our home. What we propose to do is to protect our home so we
and 70,000,000 or more guests dontt have to look at the offensive
antics of this neighbor any longer. We cantt believe there is any
legal doctrine that will compel us to use the Fair to glorify Jane
Parker s rolls.
The plan to screen the A & P sign will have as its basic
element the use or artificial shrubbery located entirely on World's
Fair property west of the van Wyck Expressway. Details will be
announced when planning is completed.

The Pavilion of the Hashemite King-
dom of Jordan is a unique architectural
undertaking which was designed to depict
the ancient Land of Jordan - the cradle
of all Western civilization. In Jordan, a
country rich in religious background, arc
found the great shrines of Jerusalem, Beth-
lehem and Jericho, and the storied River
Jordan and Dead Sea.
Through the centuries, the art of Chris-
tian man has continually strived to repre-
sent the glory and the suffering of Christ
as He approached Calvary. The stained
glass windows of the Jordan Pavilion at-
tc.:mpt to convey The Holy Spirit which
emanates from the 14 Stations of the Way
of the Cross in the Holy City of Jerusalem.
The Pavilion's skylights of multicolored
many-faceted glass reflect the spirit of light
ever present in the Holy Land- the light
from above which brings inspir.ttion and
direction to man below.
On exhibition in the pavilion will he ,1

column is a gift from His 1\l.ijesty K111g
Hussein to the World's Fair and the City

Meadow Park after the conduswn of the
Fair.
196 .. New York World's Fair 1964-1965 Corporoton
ident of the Fair Corporation, issued a
statement announcing the results of the
Fair's advance ticket sale program. The
pre-opening admissions sale was the largest
for any single event in history.
The thronged conference, attended by
every major metropolitan daily, in addition
to radio, television and magazine reporters,
revealed titat the advance sale had soared
ro 28,034,987 tickets as of February 29 for
a total of $35,219,602 in cash, almost three
times greater than the target figures.
Among important effects of the huge
sale were the ability of the Fair Corpora
cion to repay $3 million in 5% bank loans,
not due until August 1st, 1964, thus saving
substantially in interest charges; and the
Fair's anticipation of paying off the $30
million 6% notes outstanding, before the
end of 1964, even though the notes will
not mature until August 1, 1966.
Thomas J. Deegan, Jr., chairman of the
executive committee, supplemented Mr.
Moses' statement with comparative statis-
tics, showing that the advance ticket sale
exceeds the entire attendance at the 1939
New York World's Fair.
(Continued on page 2, col. I)
.. \
When the first ticket holder enters the
Fairgrounds at 9:00 a.m. on Opening
Day, April 22nd, he will be greeted not
only by Fair officials but, undoubtedly, by
a barrage of reporters for newspapers,
magazines, radio and television outlets
around the world.
Promptly at 9:15 on the Fair's red letter
day, the American and World's Fair flags
will be raised with appropriate ceremonies
at the Court of the Universe. The national
anthem will be played by the World's Fair
Band.
At the conclusion of the flag cere-
monies, General William E. Potter as
Marshal, will lead the great parade accom-
panied by his staff and the Color Guard.
When the marchers reach the reviewing
stand in f rant of the Central Pool and
facing the Court of the Universe, General
Potter will enter the stand to review the
entire parade.
The hour-long, colorful parade will fea
turc exhibitors' floats, numerous high
school and college bands, international
representatives in native costume and
prancing, decorated animals- all keyed
to gaiety and excitement.
After the conclusion of the parade at
l 0: 30, Guy Lombardo will entertain Fair
guests .md the press in the Singer Bowl
until the visiting dignitaries file into the
Bow I and take their places on the speakers'

PAYING THE WAY FOR OPENING DAY
-Crews working on day and night shifts
pave the huge complex of avenues which link
the hundreds of exhibits at the Fair. Most of
the paving is done at night when traffic on the
grounds is at a minimum. Because all curbing
was laid in advance, paving operation is sim-
ple and fast. Every artery will be spic-ond-
spon for Opening Doy, April 22.

In accordance with its "Memo of Under-
standing," Lincoln Center for the Per-
forming Arts and the New York World's
Fair are co-sponsoring the Lincoln Center
World's Fair Festival, which began on
March 15 and will continue through the
fall of 1965. The Festival will present out-
standing international performing artists
in Philharmonic Hall and The New York
State Theater.
In announcing the Festival, Schuyler G.
Chapin, vice president of programming for
Lincoln Center said: "We arc looking for-
ward to the opportunity of not only
presenting these great performing arts
companies, but of playing host to new audi-
ences visiting Lincoln Center and the

pleased to introduce The New York State
Theater to our audiences during the Festi-
val."
Especially for Fair visitors, the Metro-

for the first time outside of St. Peter's in
the Fair's Vatican Pavilion.
Radio and Television Provide Saturation Coverage of Fair
Changes occurring in the American way
of life since the 1939 New York World's
Fair will be dramatically reflected in the
major role which the radio and television
industry will play in the new World's Fair.
The first television programs ever seen
by the public originated from the 1939
Fair, with nearly 200 TV sets in the area
carrying President Roosevelt's opening day
speech to some 1,000 people.
At the 1964-1965 Fair, there will be 300
color television sets within the Fair-
grounds itself, programming closed-circuit
highlights of Fair events, originated by
RCA from 69 TV outlets around the
grounds.
The Fair's radio and television center
will be located in the Singer Bowl where
each of the national networks will have its
own office. Additional space will be avail-
able for other broadcasters reporting from
the Fair.
Coverage of Fair events to date has been
exccnsive, especially in the New York area.
WNYC-TV and Radio have carried weekly
programs for the past year featuring as
host William Berns, Fair vice president in
charge of Communications and Public Re-
lations.
Plans for covering the Fair once it is
open are being made by broadcasters from
all over the country and from abroad. Such
well-known attractions as the "Today"
Show and "Queen For A Day" will origi
nate from Flushing Meadow numerous
times after Opening Day.
On Opening Day, April 22, at 7:30p.m.
EST, NBC Television Network will bring
viewers to the Fair via a special hour-and-
a-half program in color sponsored by
United States Steel. Under producer Robert
Bendick, a staff eventually to number 2 50
persons has been at work on the grounds
creating a show to capture and commem-
orate the Fair's excitement and color.
Henry Fonda will act as program host and
among his area hosts will be Fred Mac
Murray, Carol Channing and Lorne Greene.

Mr. Paul Screvane
City Hall
New York, New York
Dear Mr. Screvane:
your capacity as a member of the Board of
the request made by the
Senior 1zens Golden Ring Council for the establishment of a
special week sometime in September during which senior citizens
would be allowed reduced price admissions to the World's Fair.
It seems to me that this is a most reasonable as well as a modest
request. Many elderly people who would like to visit the Fair
would not be able to cover the many exhibits in one day. In
addition, the admission price of $2.00 or even the special rate of
$1. 35 plus expenses of carfare, food and special exhibits admiss-
ion prices would make the cost of a visit to the World's Fair
prohibitive.
The request for a 25 admission in September takes cognizance of
the fact that the World
1
s Fair Corporation might be reluctant to
offer any special prices during the peak spring and summer visiting
periods.
I know that a 25 admission for the week in September V\0 uld be
welcomed by many elderly people with whom I have spoken in the
Bronx. I am sure they reflect the feelings of elderly people through-
out the city.
I hope you will use your influence as a member of the World's Fair
Corporation to see that this request is granted.

MEMORANDUM TO MURRAY DAVIS
FROM ROBERT MOSES
The. April 22nd Fair opening program must be settled,
printed and ready for distribution on a certain day, and many other
complex arrangements must be determined finally at that time.
What day? What is the deadline? Before that the presence or ab-
sence of the President must be settled.
The latest scuttlebutt is
1. He will attend
2. He won't
3. He will send a message to be read by Mayor Wagner.
I am getting more and more inquiries on this subj ectt and
it will surely break out in undesirable press speculation and public
discussion very shortly if we don't make a simple final announcement.
Incidentally, it is essential that you have the messages
from Mr. Hoover, Mr. Truman and General Eisenhower very shortly.

THE CITY OF NEW YORK
OFFICE OF THE COMPTROLLER
MUNICIPAL BUILDING
NEW YORK, N. Y. 10007
ABRAHAM D. BEAME
COMPTROLLER
64-36
Comptroller Abraham D. Beame has sent the following letter to
Governor Nelson A. Rockefeller:
RE: Assembly Introductory 5229
Print 6151
"I strongly urge your veto of the above listed bill to amend the laws
covering New York City's agreement with the World's Fair Corporation.
"The present law specifically states any surplus remaining, after payment
of all obligations, shall be turned over to the City. It shall be used to pay for the
restoration and improvement of Flushing Meadow Park, and the balance must be used
for educational purposes.
"The proposed amendments, contained in the above bill, would permit
the City to grant a two-year extension to the World's Fair Corporation, and further
extensions if deemed advisable. They would permit the City to contract with the
World's Fair Corporation to improve Flushing Meadow Park, as well as a chain of
other parks, before any of the surplus can be used for education.
"I base my objections upon the following:
"1 - This legislation carries the clear implication that we consider parks
more important than our urgent school needs. This is unrealistic at a time when our
schools are the focal point of the greatest social unrest in the history of our City,
State and Nation. Under the bill now before you, practically all the funds could be used
for parks. As a matter of fact, the plan and program, as prepared by the World's
Fair Corporation, estimates a surplus of $25, 725, 000 and allocates $23 million to
park improvements. Thus, only $2, 725,000, or about 1o:fo, would be available for
education. Under the bill before you, even this sum need not be made available for
education, if the cost of the parks exceeded the $23 million estimated.
(more)
Beame -2-
64-36
"2 - The surplus remaining after the World's Fair debts and obligations
are paid off, can be used by the City for either operating expenses or capital
improvements. On the other hand, City capital funds (bond money) can be used only
for public improvements or for certain specified purposes, permitted under the Local
Finance Law. The City could, if it so desired, make the park improvements out of
capital funds, as it normally would, and leave the bulk of the surplus available for
educational operating expenses.
"The proponents of this amendment have stated that these funds are a
'one-shot operation' and, therefore, less useful to our schools. That is a specious
argument. I need only point out a few of the critically-needed 'one-shot' expenditures
which could be applied to schools, with results which will be appreciated for many years
by our children, their teachers, and their parents.
"Such 'one-shot' money could be used to repair a leaky roof, and make it
weather-tight for many years. It could be used for replacing old and worn-out textbooks,
and for purchasing sorely needed new books, helping many classes for many years. It
could be used for many other items which will help improve the comfort, health, safety
and education of our children.
"Furthermore, the argument that a 'one-shot' income is not a good income
is fallacious. It falls before the fact that all the increased tax revenues which the City
expects as a result of the World's Fair are, in essence, 'one-shot' revenues. After
the Fair, we will have them no longer. Certainly, this is no reason for not using the
revenues from the World's Fair, for vital City services.
"3 - Even though this legislation is permissive, it should not be considered
at all because it is contrary to sound and proper government operation. It would permit
the City to transfer the responsibility for Park development from municipal officials,
who must answer to the people for their actions, to the executives of a non-public
corporation. There is no valid reason for this transfer, nor for the fact that it would
create a costly duplication of administrative effort.
Beame -3- 64-36
"4 - The World's Fair Corporation would be given the authority to
develop Parks without the control and supervision we now exercise over our own Park
Department. The only approval which would be required, under this bill, would be
the City's approval of plans before the program starts. After it gets under way,
there would be no City control. This seems to be a strange way of bypassing our
Park Commissioner and turning over the proposed to a sort of Super Park

FOR MMEDIATE RELEASE:
ROBERT MOSES
PRESIDENT
April 2, 1964
Japanese-American relations received another boost recently when
170 personable young Japanese men and women, who will staff the Japan
Pavilion at the New York World's Fair, spent three days and two nights
at Camp Zama, Headquarters of the United States Army in Japan. The
group visited the installation in a move designed to acquaint them
with the American way of life and to facilitate their forthcoming
Fair assignments. They will arrive here on April 8.
The results of the visit were gratifying on both sides.
"Brimming with charm and cordiality, they left no doubt about the
fast friendships they are capable of cultivating," said an Army
spokesman for the 132 women and 38 men, who were selected from an
original 2
1
000 applicants as being most highly qualified to represent
their country in the u. s.
"Living in Camp Zama is the closest thing to living in the
United States without leaving Japan," said Katsuei Aogagi, 21, a
junior at Meiji University in Tokyo. Only 10 of the group have ever
visited the u. s. before.
The Camp Zama experiment represented one of the final steps in
a indoctrination program which has been geared toward the
day the group will arrive in New York, and it included a comprehensive
schedule of classes, tours, and social events.

At Camp Zama, the group was introduced to the American phenomenon
or cafeteria-style dining. A new experience for most of them, they
moved along the serving line holding trays tor helpings of French
onion soup, hamburgers and cheeseburgers, French fried potatoes,
buttered green salad, assorted relishes, buns and butter,
toe cream, milk and coffee.
Their first real chance to converse in English and to learn
about the u. s. firsthand came when they gathered at the Open Door
with some 50 Zama American High School students for a casual two-hour
get-together.
of the women in the group are slated for hostess and
waitress duties in the House or Japan, the Pavilion building given
over to restaurants and the presentation of theatrical entertainments.
The list of qualifications for the young women was impressive.
Good looks, of course, was a primary requisite, with intelligence a
close second. A completed high school education was another
requisite. Sixty-five percent of them are University graduates.
Proficiency in time-honored Japanese arts ranked high: skill at
playing a musical instrument, the ability to dance, to perform the
tea to arrange flowers -- all were basic considerations.

,'''
New York World's Fair, Apr. 6 --The Montana Centennial Train, a
25-oar modern day iron horae ladened with $1,000,000 worth of gold
nuggets and priceless memorabilia of the old west, chugged out of
Billings, Montana yesterday (Sunday) on the first leg of a 17-day
journey that will take it as part of Montana's exhibit to the New York
World's Fair at Flushing Meadow, N. Y.
Aboard the train are cowboys, Indians, 75 horses and tack, a
stagecoach, ranchers, wild life exhibits, famous guns of the frontier
days, typical saloon of the time, general George Custer's gold watch
and a number of state officials headed by Governor Tim Babcock.
Enroute to the World's Fair, where it is scheduled to arrive on
the morning of Opening Day, April 22, the train will make stops at
Omaha, Kansas City, St, Louis, Louisville, Cincinnati, Charleston,
Washington, D.C., Baltimore and Philadelphia. Wild West parades will
be staged in each city and the public will be permitted to inspect
the train,
The train will remain at the Fair, on the grounds of the Montana
Pavilion, for three days, then resume its tour through an additional
six cities, with stops at Pittsburgh, Cleveland, Chicago, Milwaukee,
Moline and Minneapolis.
Upon the train's return to Billings, seven of its 25 cars will
make a second run to New York and go on permanent display at the Montana
exhibit at the Fair.

The cars are painted golden yellow, orange, and blue, and
on their sides huge murals depicting Montana's history, from the year
1864 when it became a territory to the present. The murals, ranging
from 7 to a feet high and 8 to 16 feet long, number 150 and were
painted by L,.man Rice and Bud Wert of Billings.
Parpose of the nationwide tour 1s not only to celebrate the lOOth
birthday or Montana as a territory (it was admitted to statehood 75
years ago, in 1889), but to encourage tourism in the Big Sky
as Montanans like to call their state. The reference is appropriate:
with a population of less than 700,000 Montana covers more than 147,000
square miles, ranking 4th in size in the nation.
At the Fe1r, the cars will be on display from 10 A.M. to 10 P.M.,
and in the words of Michael s. Kennedy, director ot the Montana
H1atorical Society which planned the exhibit, "viewers will be treated
to the really authentic and exciting sturr or history".
Even the million dollar gold collection will be truly historical.
One of the nuggets was mined by Granville Stuart six years before
Montana Terri tory was created.

Let me express first our sorrow that the Chief
Executive who inaugurated this Fair is not here
to give it his blessing. Let me offer also our testi-
mony to the universal respect and affection in
which his memory is held, and our prayer that
Almighty God may protect and strengthen his
successor, who is our chief guest here today.
The staff of the Fair expresses today deepest
thanks to all who have come here to open the
big show. We have done our best by ingenuity
and hard work to implement ambitious slogans
and colorful promises.
We particularly welcome those who have had
faith in us through early trying days. We invite
visitors from every state and land, solicit their
friendship and devoutly hope that in presenting
here this Olympics of Progress we shall draw
them closer together on our shrinking globe,
and thus in the end promote peace.

the New York City Hmising

Confronted with the problem of
"ah,,ttinn- down or moving elsewhere,
began investigating . the
of starting anew in New
or Pennsylvania. Before taking
they appealed to city author.
In a coordinated effort by officials
of the Richmond Borough President's
Office, the New York City Department
of Commerce and Industrial Develop.

Authority and the City Planning Com.
mission, Uniforms Bv Ostwalcl was en.
ahlcd not only to s'tay and continue
operating, but to expand.
Other agencies joined in, includ.

of Highways, the New York City De.
partment of Health, and the New York
State Division of Housing and Com.

The first step was a zoning variance
permitting a factory within a housing-
area. The variance was drafte<t h:y
Horough President Albert V;
mlco and approved by the Board of
Estimate.
The Housing Authority then revised
its building plans to encompass the.
factory in its development-and said to
Ostwald a strip of land to accommo.
date its expansion and to permit load.
ing of trucks and access to a main
highway.
In turn, Ostwald agreed to renovate
its existing building and construct its
proposed addition to conform to the
architectural design of the Housing
Authority's apartment buildings.
The company currently does about

persons.
"We are very happy with that ar.
rangemcnt," declared Adolph Ostwald,
president of the company. "Partic-
ularly, because of the close proximity
of our plant to its labor source. Some
of our employees live in the develop.

we also can call on seasonal labor from

Major Industries Hold Rank; Some Small Groups Shift
(This third installment of a New York
City eccmmnic stlldy by Dr. A. C. Bursteitt,
department senior 11otes the
changing labor ratios of local mClnufact11r-
ing industries.)
In the five years between 1958 and
1962 most of the major of manu-
fal'turing industries have maintained their
relative positions in the hierarchy of New
York City's manufacturing complex.
Only some of the smaller groups, with
a total of five per cent of the city's manu-
facturing labor, have shifted rank. This
ncar-stability, however, applits only to
rank of the groups and not to their lll'r-
ccntagc shares of employment in the city's
::!unufncturin:; cstahlishmmt,.
All the major groups have experienced
shifts, either hy decreases or in
their shares of employment in manufactur
ing. These erosions and accretions aHectl'd
some 50,000 cmployel'S who moved, out of
and into, some major groups of manufactur-
ing industries between 195:-1 and 1962.
This chh and flow thus involved one of
every 18 manufacturing workers.
An estimated 15,000 other employees
mav have been involved in these shifts -
tho'Sl' whose places of work were brought
under coverage of the Unemployment ln-
surame Law between 1958 and 1962. This
estimated numher cannot he broken down
for allocation to the various major groups.
The printing and publishing group in
creased its share of the manufacturin;.: labor
force from 13.06 to 13.77 per cent, a gain
of 0.71 per cent between 1958 and 1962.
This was the largest gain hy any group
during the peri<KI. Ten other major groups,
machinery and electrical equipment among
also made some gains.

The redistrihution of manufat:turing
labor among industries in New York City
was widespread also witl!iu the major

1964
NEW YORK WORLD'S FAIR, Apr. 17 -- TWenty-five official coat-of
arms, representing the Nations of the Western Hemisphere and the
Organization of the American States, have been transferred from the
Avenue or the Americas in New York City to light poles on the Avenue
of the Americas at the New York 1964-1965 World's Fair.
Formerly located between 52nd and 59th Streets in the city, each
shield weighs 25 pounds.. The emblems are three feet in diameter and
are insured for $1000 each. They will be officially dedicated by the
Avenue of the Americas Association at the organization's "Day",
tentatively set for May 14, at the Fair. At that time, the Associa-
tion is to cite Fair President Robert Moses for his work as an
"outstanding public servant."
John H. Muller, president of the Avenue of the Americas Associa-
tion, yesterday said: "We're delighted at the special cooperation
received from officials of the Fair and New York City in helping to
place the coat-of-arms at the Fair and thus enable millions to observe
the unity and friendship of the nations of the Western Hemisphere."
The coat-of-arms, some of which contain as many as ten colors on
porcelain enamel, were made in 1960. The Avenue of the Americas at
the World's Fair starts at the Main Entrance, Gotham Plaza, {Gate
Noa 1), and ends at the Unisphere, symbol of the exposition.

WABC RADIO EDITORIAL 1133
niE WAY TO THE FAIR
There were threats against the city and promises of
punishment by the officials of the city. There were thouAands
of words written and spoken about it. There was lots of talk
and lots of noise. There was plenty of long-hidden hate that
all came to the surface. Some men talked madness about race
wars and about arming themselves. It all happened in this city
in the last few days, and it was all touched off by the ambitious
young people who called for a stall-in on the way to the Fair.
But there was no stall-in. There was no stall-in
because of the effectiveness of the city police who were turned
out by the hundreds to prevent it. There was no stall-in because
the city's administration had set up penalties that made
stalling-in an expensive and risky project. Most of all there
was no stall-in because most people who have supported civil
rights demonstrations, at their best and worst, could not support
lawlessness in any form.
Just like everyone else, WABC is relieved that there
was no stall-in. We're relieved that moderation and good sense
attracted more peovle than did irresponsibility, vio-
lence or hate. We re relieved that Wednesday in New York we
could see again that there is more to admire than to be ashamed
of in men.
But we can't forget either how wasteful this week had
been. And the counting is just starting---counting all waste--
wasted men, wasted hours, wasted words, wasted money, wasted fear
and anger and energy. And all the words that warned the stall-in
promoters they were hurting their own cause were not just pompous
words. Civil Rights progress was hurt. This can not be undone.
Demonstrations for Civil Rights that would have been accepted a
month ago were looked at with suspicion and annoyance at the
World's Fair opening.

There was no stall-in. But all the threats and all
the intemperance have already done their damage. We hope the
rash young people from Brooklyn who took integration one step
backward in the last few weeks will now work again for all
society. After all, that's what integration means, doesn't it?

Let me express first our sorrow that the Chief
Executive who inaugurated this Fair is not here
to give it his blessing. Let me offer also our testi-
m ~ n y to the universal respect and affection in
which his memory is held, and our prayer that
Almighty God may protect and strengthen his
successor, who is our chief guest here today.
The staff of the Fair expresses today deepest
thanks to all who have come here to open the
big show. We have done our best by ingenuity
and hard work to implement ambitious slogans
and colorful promises.
We particularly welcome those who have had
faith in us through early trying days. We invite
visitors from every state and land, solicit their
friendship and devoutly hope that in presenting
here this Olympics of Progress we shall draw
them closer together on our shrinking globe,
and thus in the end promote peace.

not be a detenniniog factor. Even if
property Is of little value, it may en-

by damage your car.
Don't transfer belongings into trunk at

llle fact that a street is weD-lighted or
heavily travelled does not always pro-

uses such an area in which to operate.
Auto-theft insurance does not usually

Don't leave your license, registration

owner.
Traffic Safety
New York City's Traffic Regulations are
in many respects similar to the regulations
in your home town. Our maximum speed
on city streets is 25 miles per hour unless
posted signs specify otherwise. Parkway
speeds vary in accordance with posted signs.
For your own safety and convenience,
please comply with all signs concerning
speed limits and parking restrictions.
Don't pick up hitch-hikers. It is unsafe
and unlawful.
WHEN YOU NEED POLICE ASSIST-
ANCE. DO NOT HESITATE TO PHONE.

TIVE WHEN THEY ARE NOTIFIED

0 1964 New York World's Fair 196-41965 Corporation
The New York State Pavilion is an outstand-
ing example of originality in design, structural
aud material experimentation and ingenuity in
the selection and display of exhibits. The Fair
has repeatedly said that it aims at variety and
freedom of expression, not at conformity and
adherence to any central, integrated, overall,
dogmatic super duper architectural plan. We did
not establish a style with fully integrated, cen-
trally conceived and controlled units. We want
no Greek or other revival dictated by pundits
of any school, classical, eclectic or avam-garde.
I believe that the originality, imagination and
dynamism of this pavilion will fully vindicate
this policy of freedom of design. I repeat what
I have said often. We have left it to the exhib-
itors and concessionaires to reflect the ambitions
of our time and to produce variety rather than
uniformity and family relationship. The inde-
pendent parts are, however, unified by the frame-

The New York Pavilion will startle some and
strike others as conservative. We at the Fair
commend it because it represents vision. It will
rank high among state, industrial and foreign
pavilions and shows. When, after you have enter-
tained millions of visitors, you fold your tent
like the Arabs and silently steal away, I hope
that your towers may remain in the great future
Flushing Meadow Park as the highest vantage
point from which people in the future can re-
construct and visualize two World's Fairs and
imagine the metropolis of the future.
The Fair presents its thanks and congratula-
tions to Governor Rockefeller, to Lieutenant
Governor Wilson, to their co-workers and to the
Legislature for this splendid representation of
the Empire State.
