INDUSTRIAL SECTION
PROGRESS REPORT
(as of January 13, 1964)
1. THE CONTINENTAL INSURANCE COMPANIES - David Gray, Vice
President, The Continental Insurance Companies, requests that the
Fair holds the property directly to the rear of their site up to the
Parker Pen exhibit line. They plan an addition to their building to
house a hospitality center and offices ana are working with Mr.
William Douglas and their architect. As soon as plans are finalized
they will sign a lease for whatever additional square feet they require.
2. OPPORTUNITIES U. S. A. - Despite frantic efforts by this group to
change their plans, it is clear that it is simply too late to consider a
project of this character, particularly in the light of the background
of negotiations. Howard Cooper, President of Opportunities U.S. A,
has thought to reduce an obvious restaurant concession to an exhibit
reflecting the nature of franchise operations, together with the sup-
port of a Small Business Administration exhibit. However, no new
plans have been filed and the unreliability of previous representation
and the pressure of time make it plain that there is no purpose in
pursuing this project further.
3. MULTIPLES
The World of Food lease which was terminated as of December 6, 1963
was subsequently reinstated with a guarantee by Mr. Lionel Levy that
all steel now being erected would be removed in the event that this
project failed. Mr. Levy has been soliciting his sublessees to obtain
an accelerated payment schedule in order to finance his construction.
Several of his subcontractors have subordinated their claims. Some
steel has been erected but this situation remains critical. Mr. Levy
has until the close of business on January 15, 1964 to provide the Fair
with the necessary assurances that the building will be completed on
time.
Page 5
INDUSTRIAL SECTION
PROGRESS REPORT
(as of January 13, 1964)
4. SPECIAL PROJECT
Pan American Highway Gardens - Eastman Kodak has agreed to
install and maintain at its own expense 10 to 12 photomurals of the
Pan American Highway. Brass Rail is using a Pan American decor
for its restaurant on the site.
In conversation with Dr. Bertram D. Tallamy we had determined that
additional material is needed other than the actual Central American
planting which will be supplied by the Fair. We, therefore, plan to
visit with Dr. Tallamy, the heads of the Central American countries,
as well as the major industrial lists in this area. Dr. Tallamy has
the enthusiastic approval of the office of Mr. Teodoro. Moscoso, U.S.
Coordinator of Alliance for Progress, and the Bureau of Public Roads.
One project to be undertaken is possible construction of a small
building, hopefully to be designed by Buckminster Fuller, to have a
Pre-Columbian Gold Exhibit. Financing based upon an admission
charge would be arranged with Bankers Trust Company, The Chase
Manhattan Bank or the Bank of America, all of whom have interests
in the area.

The erection of steel for this building
is approximately tl,o-thirds compl ... tcd.
Completion of the steel erection is
scheduled for January 22, There has been
some activity in the area of hase
negotiations but this time it is impossible
to predict that this building will be a
success.
Work on this structure is under completion
and Conunissioner Brad Clark of the City of
New York is holding a series of meetings
with the contractors in an attempt to
establish a firm completiou date, lve are
investigating the possibility of oplming
the lower exhibit level in the event that
the total building is not completed by
April 22, 1964. At the next meeting of
the Executive Committee, I will be able to
report more specifically on the schedule.
In conjunction with Mr. Constable and
General Potter, we have been working with
the National Maritime Union on an arrangl'llll'llt
whereby the Union would absorb all thu eostH
of landscaping and maintenance of a 64 602
sq. ft. area that has been designated as u
park-like area and also as a cr01vd gathering
point for the Operations Department. In
return, the Union would have the right to
erect two signs indicating their sponsorship
of the area as well as a small booth at
which information about the National Haritimt
Union lvould be available.
We are attempting to arrange the landticape
design so that it would fit in with Gl.lmore
Clark

s post-Fair plans and thus save
additional funds that would otherwise he
allocated to this large plot of ground.

Second Stage Electrical Work- Contract Q.-:_99-362
Since the rate of progress by Johnson Electrical Corp. under City contract
for Second Staqe Electrical Work is insufficient to permit completion by April 22,
1964, we are faced with a situation which requires extraordinary action, particularly
in view of the winter weather which will further impede progress. The City cannot
pay additional amounts to maintain progress at a rate ensuring on-time completion.
In accordance with your instructions, an agreement has been worked out with
Johnson whereby the Fair Corporation will:-
~ Excavate and backfill through its own contractor for
straightening and repairing lamp bases previously installed,
and for installing remaining boxes, bases, and conduit.
The Fair Corporation will receive contract amounts ;f paid
by City for tllis wo:vk, and Johnson will be paid overhead and
and profit as for a subcontractor. The Fair Corporation will
also absorb 501; of Johnson
1
s payroll costs for these remaining
items or work during the balance of the winter weather;
h Thaw out and provide tents and heating for electrical conduit
boxes in which Johnson must make splices and absorb 25% of
Johnson's payroll costs for actual splicing;
.:._ Reimburse Johnson for direct labor, material, and equipment
costs (plus 2 ~ ) incurred for melting ice in conduits through
which cable must be pulled; reimburse Johnson 25% of payroll
costs for cable pulling; and
fb_ Perform paving cuts required for installation of electrical conduits.
Johnson will carry on all other work, which totals half the value of what remains
to be accomplished, without extra reimbursement.
The cost under the above agreement is estimated to be between $200, 000 and
$250, 000. Of this amount approximately one-half will be work accomplished by our
contractor and one-half participation in the cost of Johnson.
Recommend approval of the foregoing.

suBJECT: Design and World's Fair Construction
Your approval is requested of the following report for presentation to the
Executive Committee.
Six projects were placed under contract during the month including the
U.S. Space Park and the lighting of open areas. Although the Space Park is under
contract, design is not yet complete pencting receipt of additional information from
U.S. agencies. However, pile driving will start approximately 20 January. The
only contract of magnitude remaining to be let is that for lighting and flagpoles for
the overpass, which is expected to be awarded by the Park Department this month.
On account of the virtual. stoppage of work under two Park Department
contracts, namely for low voltage electric installation and for paving, the World's
Fair Corporation has made expedient arrangements with contractors to assure
continuation of work. Under the electric contract, the excavation and backfilling
and the thawing of boxes, which were causing particular difficulty under winter con-
ditions, were taken over as a responsibility of the Fair Corporation through a
World's Fair contract. Certain extra costs due to winter operations are also being
paid. Under these arrangements, work has been resumed on a satisfactory basis,
which should insure the completion of this contract prior to the opening of the Fair.
Certain additional costs are also being undertaken under the paving contract and
this work also has been resumed within the last few days. As of December 31st,
in the main area 94% of the curbs were in place and 75% of the area had been paved.
Broadway Maintenance has now installed about half of the street lighting
standards. This work is progressing about as fast as bases are made available
under the electric contract. Luminaires have been placed on approximately 500 of
these poles.
The remainder of the display tulips were placed early in December; the
installation of sod has been suspended until Spring. Tree planting is 90% complete.
Good progress continues to be made on the World's Fair Pavilion. The
framework of the geodesic dome and the first plastic envelope are complete, and the
second envelope is in the process of installation. The stage and dressingroom
facilities are nearing completion.

Excellent progress was also made on the construction of the Singer
Arena. The asphaltic concrete floor has been placed and the building is now
being enclosed. The remainder of the precast concrete risers and treads should
be completed by the end of this month. The only work which is slow on the Arena
is construction of the exhibitors facilities by Singer and this is being pushed.
As of December 31st, there had been received for the review of plans
$129,132. 53 in fees, and there were $24, 456. 00 billings outstanding. On the
same date, there had been received $2, 209, 878, 48 i ~ electrical connection charges
and $339, 650. 00 in water connection charges. There were outstanding bills for
$754, 318. 82 for electrical charges and $196, 650. 00 for water charges.

MEMORANDUM TO COMMISSIONER MOSES
FROM ARTHUR S. HODGKISS
Attached is the latest report on progress of arterial highway
construction in the vicinity of the World's Fair.
All highways are completely opened to traffic except Grand
Central Parkway from Kew Gardens to 172nd Street. The westbound
roadway is scheduled to be opened on January 16th and the eastbound by
January 30, 1964.
Merritt-Mt. Vernon have the largest remaining amount of work
to do. All of their roadways are completed and the work consists pri
marily of cleanup, grading, fencing and center mall barriers, This will
require a substantial amount of winter work if they are to be entirely
completed before the opening of the Fair.
The 69th Road Bridge and incidental work can be completed in
time for the Fair if the State will continue to require the contractor to
work on the bridge during the winter months,
I have talked to Austin Sarr about both of these items and he
w'Jll give his full cooperation,
Copies of this report have been sent to those shown on the
attached list .

MEMORANDUM TO ARTHURS. HODGKISS
FROM JOHN T. O'NEILL
Re: Progress on Arterial Highway Construction in the
I
Vicinity of the World's Fair
All major roadways are open to traffic except the Grand Central
Parkway between Kew Gardens and 172nd Street (Contracts Nos . 3 and 5-
Tully & DiNapoli). The State has scheduled the opening of the westbound
roadway for January 16th and the eastbound roadway for January 30, 1964.
Attached is a chart showing the dollar amount of worlt remS!J.n!ng
to be completed on each contract. This work should be completed prior to
the opening of the Fair. The major items of work are concrete paving,
asphalt paving and resurfacing, drainage, railing, lighting, joint sealing,
pavement treatment, topsoiling, fencing, landscapinq, cleanup and traffic
signs.
Progress has been lagging during the past two weeks on most of
the jobs. The State must direct maximum work effort durinq the winter
months if all contracts are to be completed prior to the opening of the Fair,
Contract No; 2, (Merritt:_}.Tt, Vernon) - has the largest amount of
work to complete, Work progress and work forces have been reduced to a
critical point. Most of the remaining work is in the heart of the Fair area
and must be completed as early as possible.
Contract No. 13 - will not be completed by the
openinq of the Fair unless maxin.u1 . winter operations are required by the
State. Based on past progl'ess, completion by the opening of the Fair is
very dubious.
,Qontract No, 6 !DeLillo) - has suspended all operations allegedly
due to financial difficulties. The State has ordered full scale resumption
before January 17, 1964, or the contract will be terminated and completed
by another contractor.
-2-
The other lagging contracts can be completed prior to the open-
ing of the Fair with close coordination and supervision by the State.
The landscaping and traffic sign contracts are also lagging and
require maximum expediting action by the State.

NEW YORK WORLD'S FAIR 1964-1965 CORPORATION
ro: Mr. Robert Moses oATE: January 13, 1964
FROM: Bill Berns
suBJEcT: Communications and Public Relations Status Report
(ConsUltants- Thomas Deegan, William J. Donoghue, J. Walter Thompson)
The following is a report on past activity and future plans of the
Communications and Public Relations Department in the world-wide pro-
motion of the New York World's Fair.
In the early Public Relations planning for the Fair
1
it was
determined by this department together with its consultants, the
Thomas J. Deegan Company
1
the William Donoghue Company and
J. Walter Thompson, that:
1. Publicity and promotion timing was vital to the success
of this operation.
2. The Fair would work closely with exhibitors on promotion
and advertising to assure success; and would advise and
coordinate the promotional and advertising activity of
Fair participants.
3. The Fair would keep all news media apprised of day-to-
day news activity related to the Fair and its exhibitors.
The report indicates that a heavy concentration of Fair
promotion will be effective in three-and-one-half months
prior to opening of the Fair in 1964; and that Fair participants
are responding to the promotional cooperation which we
engendered.

During the past year over 1, 000 magazines throughout
the United States and abroad have published major
articles and advertisements on the Fair.
Television stations throughout the United States and
Canada are serviced on a regular basis with Fair
information and news. Six special one-minute films
were furnished to over 300 television stations in the
United States during the past year. Many network
programs, such as the Tonight Show, Today,
CBS Reports, Huntley-Brinkley, quiz shows, etc.,
have done progress features and other types of
coverage of the Fair over the year. Overseas
programming has included coverage in West Germany,
West Berlin, Italy, England, France, Canada and
Warsaw.
The theme of the parade was the World's Fair, and
over 65 million people watched this via NBC and CBS
television.
The Fair has produced three progress films. The
first two, distributed in 1962 and 1963, reached an
estimated total audience of 35 million, through
television and clubs. The third Fair film is now being
released to television stations throughout the country.
The United States Travel Service is servicing the
areas abroad.
A special World's Fair preview display in the Time-Life
Exhibit Hall in Rockefeller Center, exhibited from July
to September, drew the largest audience of any previous
display with nearly half-a-million people attending in
just under eight weeks.
For the past year, and continuing through 1964, the Fair
has maintained a display and information booth at Disney-
land on the West Coast, with an estimated attendance of
one million.

{Cont'd)
planning the biggest supplement in its history (180 pages); the
Daily News (largest circulation in the world) with two major
supplerrents, Papers in Chicago, St. Louis, Washington, San

Radio- TV
0 enin Da Television: In addition to the coverage of the Opening
Day festivities, NB will produce a one and a-half hour special,
from 7:30 to 9:00PM, on the Fair, sponsored by U.S. Steel. This
is expected to attain the largest audience of any single entertainment
television show ever produced.
Today Show: (NBC-TV) Will originate at least half-an-hour a week,
e.very week, from the Fair.
Programs already making specific plans for pre -opening and post-
opening programming include: "Tonight", "Steve Allen," "Candid
Camera,'' "Ed Sullivan," "Perry Como," "Danny Kaye," "Queen
for a Day," "Captain Kangaroo," "To Tell the Truth." Several
series are now planning to emanate from the Fair grounds.
Radio-TV Kit: A complete kit will be serviced to over 6, 000 radio
and TVstations in the United States and abroad during February.
Speakers B:ureau: Through the cooperation of the participants such as
General Electric, Bell System, Travelers Insurance, American Express,
Formica, and such non-participants as Mohawk, Delta, and other air lines,
the Fair's speaker's program has generated what now amounts to 2, 800
speeches a week throughout the country.
Advertising;
The Fair's pre -Christmas advertising campaign
directed toward ticket sales helped reach the current
advance sale of $4, 500, 000. 00 in tickets. (Note:
Although the advance ticket sale continues to March 1
we have already reached the highest boxoffice advance
of any event in history). The Fair tie-in advertising
program has resulted to date in generating over
150 million dollars in Fair-oriented advertising for
1964.

Mr. Moses
Display Promotion:

during March, 1964.
In all, these promotions will be viewed by
some 150, 000, 000 people during the next
three months.
In addition to the aforementioned, the Fair's $500,000 modern Press
Building, along with the new Radio-TV Press Satellite area, are prepared

FROM GEORGE E. SPARGO

'-. FREDERIC H. SRANOI , . J ,
" ;lf'\'
'-GEORGE 8. MOORE I -. '
WILLIAM H. MOORE
WILLIAM H. MORTON It is with considerable satisfaction that I report to you the
WILLIAMs. RENCHARD results of the financial operations of the Corporation to January 1,
DAVID RocKEFELLER 1964. The Corpptroller has prepared an estimate of cash flow
JOHN M. SCHIFF
DALE E. SHARP
comparable to the one considered at the last joint meeting of the
Executive Committee and the Finance Committee. A copy of this
ALEXANDER M. WHITE is attached. It shows that the recommendations of the two commit-

tees as to the temporary financing were followed to the extent
necessary since our last meeting. At that meeting, the Corporation
MILLER MOORE d l
cHAIRMAN authorize the borrowing of short-term money from commercia
RoLLIN c. susH banks in the amount of six million dollars. Three million dollars of
RoBERT E. cHRISTIE. "'this was borrowed at an interest cost of five percent per annum and
ABRAM cLAuDe:. JR. is reflected in the attached tabulation.
WILLIAM F. CORE
ROBERT V. LINDSAY
DAVID T. MIRALIA
ROBERT R. SMITH
RICHARD B. WHITNEY
A comparison of the Cash Flow chart with the Summary State-
ment of Receipts and Disbursements might be confusing. The
estimate of Cash Flow shows a balance at the end of 1963 of more
than four million dollars. The last figure on the Summary Statement
of Receipts and Disbursements shows a balance of more than six
million dollars. The difference between these two figures is accounted
for by the funds already deposited with the city, state and federal
governments for Fair Corporation's share of the cost of contracts with-
in the Fair area let by governmental agencies and the deposits made to
cover employment contracts now in force. The actual cash on hand
shown on the Summary Statement of Receipts and Disbursements has
been increased since the first of the year to more than five million
dollars.
When we started our drive nearly three years ago, the budget
estimates indicated that the Fair would require pre-Fair financing in
the amount of forty million dollars. We sold approximately thirty
million dollars of slx percent notes to various individuals and
corporations throughout the country. At our last meeting, it was
- continued-
91 DAYS TO OPENING DAY
..
. ..
- 2 ~
obvious from the study of the figures that the entire forty million dollars would
not be required. The Finance Committee recommended and the Executive
Committee approved short-term borrowing from banks as a substitute for selling
the additional notes which will result in the substantial saving in interest cost to
the Fair. Our total debt, as of January 1, 1964, was approximately thirty-three
million dollars. It is safe to assume that the debt of the Corporation on opening
day, April 22, 1964, will not exceed thirty-five million dollars.
It is the opinion of the Comptroller who prepared the Cash Flow sheet that no
further borrowing will be needed. An examination of the figures indicates to me
that there is only one optimistic figure in Column 2 which forecasts the income
and expenses from January 1, 1964 to April21, 1964, which may not be realized.
He anticipates that an additional four million dollars will be derived from
admissions prior to April 22, 1964. To the extent that this is optimistic, it will be
necessary for the Corporation to use some part of the additional short-term
borrowing recommended by the Finance Committee and approved by the Executive
Committee. If this income from admissions is not realized during this pre-Fair
period, it will be picked up in subsequent columns and the total income from this
source in later periods will take up the slack so that the net result will be the same.
Column 3 of the Estimated Casl;l Flow for the first operating season of the Fair
is conservative. Examination of this column shows that we can attain our goal,
meet our operating costs and pay off all of our indebtedness prior to the end of
1964. It is our feeling that we can go into the 1965 operating season with a cash
balance of more than twenty million dollars.
As we approach the opening day of the first operating season of the Fair, the
great interest generated in the project, both here and abroad, added to the
interest shown in the advance sale of tickets, confirms the original estimated
attendance figures. Construction and operating costs have followed remarkably
close to the original estimates. There will be some slight increase in the actual
cost of construction. This has been more than compensated for by a decrease in
the interest costs and operating costs.
Following this Cash Flow chart to completion, you will see that it is our
considered opinion that by the end of the Fair the City of New York will have been
repaid the twenty-four million dollars it spent on permanent park improvements
in the Fair site and that a substantial balance will be available for park improve-
ments.
These park improvements are described in detail in a report released by the
Fair this week entitled "Flushing Meadow and Beyond". This provides a master
plan not only for the completion of construction of Flushing Meadow Park, so
- continued -
- 3-
badly needed in this solidly built-up Borough of Queens, but also of a Corridor
Park extending from Flushing Meadow Park to and through Kissena Park,
Cunningham Park, Alley Park and Douglaston Park Golf Course. With the approval
of the City of New York, the Fair Corporation could and should carry out this
proposed post-World's Fair program and leave to the City not only the great bene-
fits derived during the two years of operation but a permanent park improvement
as a lasting memory of a very successful exposition.
