..... of Lettlr Governor Poletti to Allen Beach:
I
Rome
Sunday, January 20, 1963
Dear Allen:
Have talked to several:
(1} Tremellini -- presented him with a silver medal. Went exceedingly
well. Gave him copy of our agreement with Arpesani. Interested
in not delaying construction, all of which I passed on to Arpesani.
(2} Italian Tourist -- gave Minister Folchi bronze medal. Left copy
of Arpesani agreement. Italian Tourist feels that World's Fair
offers tremendous opportunity for promotion of tourism.
(3) Could not get to Boldrini of E. N. I. Was out of city couple days.
He knows, however, I wanted to put the bite on him. Have arranged
that Agnelli see Boldrini next week to get a financial commitment.
I told the Fiat group that, while the plan I prepared doesn't count on
E. N. I. contribution, it is good to have some fat and furthermore
that it is not fair for a big parastatal organization like E. N. I. to
escape a substantial financial contribution.
(4) Tucci Caselli who is organizing through American Export Line a
special 30-day cruise to World's Fair and Washington, D. C.,
during month of August. The plan would be to have Italian Day on
August 15th. We'll discuss this on my return.
-1-
(5) Marinelli Scotti, it seems, will be retained for the exhibits inside
pavilion. He is a friend of Agnelli.
(6) Liuti- who helped us on publicity. Tell Douglas not to pay him as
yet because I feel we shall add another hundred dollars to his fee.
(7) Had Kennedy with me at some of the conferences. Tried to get
him into the Tucci Caselli cruise deal. He is also interested in
Arnold Kagan set up. I believe he needs very much to supplement
his modest pension as a foreign service officer. I'll talk to Kagan
on my return.
(8) Arpesani --have arranged with him to call another meeting in
Milan end of this month of all Italian groups around February 15th.
He will come to New York to sign contract, after he establishes a
corporation ad hoc for the W. F.
The intention is to use Squassi as architect because he is in NYC
and that will save time. As business manager plans to use Miller who
represented Italy at our 2-day conference.
Talked to him about a bang-up groundbreaking, and he is all for
it.
You and Jack Potter ought to have a conference with Squassi and
if at all possible have Garibaldi present too.
In conclusion, Italy is moving.
Regards.
/s/ Charlie Poletti

Rome American carried big story this morning
on Italy's participation, quoting Arpesani, etc.
Terrific rains every day but the vino is still
undiluted and the spaghetti are changing the
contours.
Leaving in two hours for Berlin and it looks like
a rough trip. The weather is lousy all over
Europe.

Dear Roger:
The Italian Pavilion is finally out. It proved
impossible to work with them under present Italian political
and industrial conditions. This decision, a ~ t h o u g h disap-
pointing, is of no great consequence to the Fair. I write
merely to thank you and our friends in American Bridge
for their prompt, generous cooperation. They could have
done the job. I doubt if any other company could :r.ave done
so.

Dear Mr. Yamasaki:

ROBERT MOSES
f'ftUIDENT
I was greatly impressed by the Trade Center plans and con-
gratulate you on the new concept which is both highly imaginative and
practical in terms of the Port of New York. The comparatively large
open space you achieve is particularly ingenious and I like the com-
parisons with St. Mark's and St. Peter's.
We are busily at work on the Hall of Science at Flushing
Meadow. It will be permanent like your contribution at Seattle and I
hope will be as successful.
Much remains to be done to reclaim lower Manhattan, among
other things as to housing and highway improvements. The traffic demands
too cannot safely be ignored.
Cordially,
Is/ ROBERT MOSES
President

MEMORANDUM TO GEN. W. E. POTTER
FROM ROBERT MOSES
SUBJECT: Italian Exhibits on LST floated ove fro:--:1 Italy.
I want a memo from our executives just as soor. as yoi:.. can
get it out. In addition to Governor Poletti and the International Divisi.on,
Whipple, Constable, Preusse, Thornton, Witt, Denny, Shapiro,
Groenendyke, Farrell and McCullough should be consulted.
1. Are the people of the latest ItaJ.iar1 exhibit scr.er:.E;
reliable and do they have adequate capital? Can t.r.e:r u.se
the Italian flag, in other words this private venture
approved and sanctioned by t."-'le governmer.t?
2. What sort of exhibits, attractions ar1ci cc:--.cess:or.s car.
actually be established on an LST? Would. :::-.e:,' stress
travel and tourism, ir.dustry or art? Would -.::.e;;- not ca
overcrowded? The swimming pool idea ma.:cces il.O ser.se
to me.
3. Is towing an LST across the Atlantic in winter o::- earl:'
spring feasible? This would take three ocea."lgo::.g :..:.;s
at huge expense and considerable risk.
4. Are the payments to the Fair adequate?
5. Could such a facility be oper.ed on Ap::::: 22r.d. _: r . .: :.,
when? What wo;.Ud be the surroun<iir'.c :.:
were late? v
I want a hard-boiled opinion, and no :'::-.:s
is most ingenious and intriguing anci may possibly have c..:.:. :
grave doubts about it and dont want to add to our problerr.s or
ridicule. The question of exciting war memories bytowing over a
U.S. LST is also something to ponder. I have grave doubts :c..;;.:-.c:.-
ing a dubious venture at this late date and in the light of our
experience to reduce costs to a bare minimum, avoid construct:r.g a.r.
adequate building, and an attempt to give the appearance of an ItaJ.ia:.
Exhibit at Flushing Bay a long way from the International section.

FROMa MR. A. K. MORGAN
REI LIGHTING THe FAIR BETWEt;N
THE 1964 AND 1965 SEASONS
December 26, 1963
In accordance with your instructions,
I met Governor Poletti on December 24th in his office.
He and Mr. Beaton explained to me briefly the plan whicn
was put forth by l<lr. Gosling. He also told me that
Mr. Gosling was prepared to spend $1,000,000. on this
project. I told him that the plan shoula not be accepted
by the Fair Corporation ror the following reasons:
1. The exhibitors own their own buildings and would
probably not permit anyone to string lights on
the buildings or floodlight them
.
2. To attempt to string lights or to lignt tne
exhibitors' builaings with tloottlignts woula in
most cases ruin the ettect which the architects
and engineers have attempted to achieve, since
most of the lighting of the buildings is built-in.
J, The exhibitors have already started to light their
buildings during the present winter and there will
probably be many more of them who will light their
buildings during the winter between the 1964 and
1965 seasons of the Fair. For the Fair to permit
anyone to place lighting which in any way would
compete with the lighting on the exhibitors'
buildings would probably upset the exhibitors
greatly.
4. The Fair has no right to permit anyone to hang
lights or tamper with the privately owned buildings
of the exhibitors.
-........ @---
DAYS TO OPENING DAY
TOs MR. ROBERT MOSES
-2- 12-26-63
s. Even though Governor Poletti indicated that Mr.
Gosling would pay for the policing, maintenance,
etc. of the grounds during the period of their
display, I suggested that such policing and main-
tenance would be very costly and it was question-
able how effective the policing could be under the
winter conditions.
6. I told him that you were against plan
and that I hoped that I had given him enough reasons
for hio1 to be against it, too. He said that he
would vote against this project.
I suggest that you tell Governor Poletti
that this project is definitely out and that he so inform
Mr. Gosling.
