URGENT MEMORANDUM
NEW YORK WORLD'S FAIR 19641965 CORPORATION
TO: Mr. Robert Moses
FROM: W, E. Potter
SUBJECT:
Date: May 4, 1962
The essentials of the Barnes interview in the forthcoming June issue of the
Engineering Consultant magazine read rather rapidly to General Whipple over the
telephone were as follows:
It started with the question of parkways. repeating the assertion that they
left motorists at the edges of the City, and that by preventing travel of busses on the
parkways, discriminated against the common man. A statement was made that the
overall syatem was not well coordinated.
Mr. Barnes referred to lVLr. Moses as having said that parkways were designed
for leisurely driving for pleasure. To this Mr. Barnes commented that when traffic
was stacked up, it was certainly no pleasure, but that .it was leisurely, frequently
not more than 45 mlles per hour, and that the prohibition of busses was agajnSt all
oommon sense,
Turning to plans for the Fair, the interview stated that transportation arrange-
menta were enUl'ely U.dequate. It indicated that Mr. Bames had. been given to Ul'lder-
ltaod that publto transportation would be the main reliance. He stated that since there .
was only one subway station involved, this would leave major reliance on busses. 'lbe
busaes not being allowed on parkways would have to approach througtl the narrow two_.way
streets in Queens and the last viaitors to the Fair in 1966(sic) would. meet Unes of
busses still staQked up with those starting out in 1964,
This information was given personally and confidentially. When the informant
was asked whether it might not be possible to counter this information, it was rather
reluQtantly agreed that a eounter-statement might be included in same edition, or a
more usual procedure would be a letter to the editor, which would of course appear in
a subsequent edition.
It is stated in a later telephone conversation the following day that Barnes
would be given an opportunity to correct final text the interview the- next day, prior
to going to press. The article was slated to be in the June issue.
The above information came from an individual.. who is connected with the publication,
in whose veracity General has confidence.

Precis of State Department Note of 4/27/62
as Dictated over the Phone by James Hurd
of State Department to Mr. Thornton on 4L30/62
The State Department on April 27, 1962 sent a Diplomatic Note
to the Soviet Embassy in Washington. This referred to the Soviet
agreement to participate at the New York World's Fair on the basis
of reciprocity for U.S. participation in the Moscow World's Fair of 1967.
The Department of State called attention to an announcement
in the Soviet Press that the Moscow 67 World's Fair has been cancelled.
The Department of State then proposed that, in order to satisfy
reciprocal consideration, underlying Soviet participation in the
New York World's Fair of 1964-65, a comparable U.S. national
exhibition be held in Leningrad and Moscow at a mutually agreeable
and
time/Ior a period equivalent to that of the Soviet exhibit at New York
World's Fair.
The Department of State asked that the Embassy of the Soviet
Union discuss this matter with the Department at an early date so
that these details for a proposed U.S. exhibition in the USSR could
be agreed upon.

Status
Messrs. Briggs and Crane, the developers
of the Marine Center, have begun a pro-
motional campaign to attract participants
in this multiple-exhibit venture. Many
firms have already been contacted and a
trade press conference is now being
planned.
This exhibit depends in large measure,
upon the content of the Federal Pavilion.
If the Federal exhibit is centered upon
the exploration of apace, there is quite
.obviously little need for an independent
space exhibit. We must now await the
appointment of a Federal C01811lilsioner
in order to determine the extent to which
the Federal Government will emphalize
the space story, We will work towards
an independent space exhibit and will
attempt to interest NASA in endorsing
this endeavor.
Stuart Constable, Erwin Witt and I met
with Messrs. Maino and Brion of Greyhound
and reached a tentative agreement on the
rental payment for an exhibit within
Greyhound 'a operating and maintenance
area, This agreement is now being in
corporated into an appropriate docUIIlent
by the World
1
s Fair legal staff.
We have been advised by Mr. Edward Wil1on,
Managing Director of the Auociation, that
this lease will be signed in the next
recording period.
Mr, Constable and 1 met with Greyhound and
have reached agreement on their financial
arrangements with Goodyear which would
permit the installation of the Carveyor
at the Fair. The decision is now in the
hands of Goodyear,

In a meeting with Mr. Batenburg,
Vice President in charge of Public
Relations of this company, together
with J. Walter Thompson, it seemed
evident that upon the return of the Pres-
ident of the company after May 1st, a
recommendation would be made for the
leasing of Block 16 - Lot 3. Submission
to the Board of Directors can be made no
earlier than May 15th. It seems likely
that Pittsburgh Plate Glass will seek to
associate itself with another canpany,
probably Aluminum Company of America,
and a tie-in is being requested for closed
circuit television rights through the Fair.
On the basis of a history of commitments
previously made by this Section, it was
agreed that Project 64 should be granted
a lease for Block 19 - Lots 1 and 2, on a
deferred payment basis. A lease is now
under negotiation.
While Dr. Engstrom and Kenneth Bilby
were impressed by their visit to the
Fair, and the day following their visit a
representative of RCA was asked to in-
quire further, the problem still remains

line of April 15th was never met. We have
an appointment with Mr. William Mandel,
Executive Vice President of Revlon, on
May 3.
The J. Walter Thompson agency has been
helpful in interesting this group in the
leasing of a site at Block 18 - Lot 3. Meet-
ings are presently being held by this group
which would seem to indicate a prospect of
Fair participation, although no final word
has been forthcoming.
We have established a sales office in New York City. A list of prospects
has been formulated, and steps have begun to be taken to make calls on
potential exhibitors. A designer has been hired to make renderings and,
indeed, models of proposed plans. Several changes have been made in
personnel, all of which have been designed to give emphasis to the selling
effort.

ROBERT NOSES
PI>ESIDlNT
We have good reason to believe that Commissioner
Barnes in an interview for a magazine called consulting Engineer"
has made damaging and inaccurate statements about World's Fair
traffic and that this interview will appear in the June issue. The
substance of the Barnes' charges is that we have made totally in-
adequate preparations for access to the Fair, that the roads and
other means of travel will be hopelessly clogged up, that people
will not be able to get to the Fair and that those aiming to get
there in 1964 will arrive in 1965.
By way of further evidence, I call your attention to
statements made by Barnes within the last ten days to more or less
the same effect, that is, that the matter of accommodating visitors
at the World's Fair has been handled by inept people who don't know
how to do it and that there will be tragic results. I can testify
personally that following this particular statement, I heard from
several people, including exhibitors at the Fair, asking whether the
Fair could in fact open on time and citing the Barnes irresponsible
remarks.
The Fair will accommodate half a million visitors a
day. The broad outlines of transportation arrangements to handle
our heavy visitor traffic are simple, and, to one familiar with the
City
1
s transportation network, almost obvious. The backbone of our
transport will be the rail system. The IRT line with its Willets Point
station can handle about 60, 000 persons an hour. The Long Island

Railroad is building a six-track passenger station on the site,
and will run as many trains as needed, shuttled from Penn
Station.
We are providing parking for about 20,000 cars
exclusive of what may be unused on any particular day from the
Mets Stadium parking. We will also have special parking for
about 200 long range buses. The peak overflow of buses -and
there will be overflow - will go in the main parking lots. Bus
stations for municipal buses are being provided on both sides
of the Fair. I understand the question has been raised as to
the practicability of access to the Fair site by buses. Since, in
addition to local streets, we will be served by the Long Island
Expressway, the new Van Wyck Expressway extension, and an
improved Whitestone Expressway and Northern Boulevard, all
of which are used by buses, bus access presents no special problem.
Over $100,000,000 in State and Federal funds are being spent to
improve the arterial system in the World's Fair area.
In addition we will have fine service from. helicopters
from at least five points, and excellent waterfront facili+ies for
both scheduled and privately owned boats. All of these arrangements
have been in the works since 1960, with the active cooperation of
city, state and federal authorities concerned.
Since this matter vitally affects the success of the
Fair, I feel it incumbent upon me as President to furnish the
members of the Executive Committee w i ~ copies of this letter
and, undoubtedly, if it becomes necessary to make our position
clear, we shall have to do so publicly.
Cordially,
President
RESOLUTION OF ROBERT MOSES
WHEREAS, City Traffic Commt ssioner Barnes in public addresses
and interviews has made irresponsible and wholly unsupported attacks upon
the official arterial and related arrangements for access to the New York
World's Fair of 1964 and 1965
AND WHEREAS, he has stated that these arrangements will be
totally inadequate and unworkable,
AND WHEREAS, these arrangements, both temporary and perma-
nent represented the considered conclusions not only of the staff of the Fair
but also of all the various official agencies and consultants involved, federal,
state and municipal, involving about $100, 000, 000 worth of arterial construe-
tion work in and immediately adjacent to the Fair, consisting largely of
federal and state funds, not including provision for access by rapid transit,
water and air,
AND WHEREAS, this program is well under way and on schedule
AND WHEREAS, all estimates of attendance at the Fair and all
budget figures would be grossly inaccurate if the Barnes statements were
correct
AND WHEREAS, all exhibitors and concessionaires at the Fair,
foreign and domestic, would be jeopardized if these irresponsible Barnes
statements were not promptly and publicly repudiated
BE IT RESOLVED THAT the Executive Committee of the Fair
spread upon the record its indignation at the Barnes misstatements and its
-2-
request to the governing body of the City to limit further pronouncements and
activities in this context.

SUBJECT:
Your approval is requested of the following report for presentation to
the Executive Committee.
Construction- World's Fair Contracts, and Design
The contractor for electric cable and substations, Eastern States Electric,
has almost finished installation of 27, 000 volt cable, but was unable to start
construction of the 4160 volt cable or install the first 5, 000 KV A transformer
during April. due to slow progress of another contractor. Action on both of these
items is now anticipated this week. In view of these delays and further problems
in the conduit crossing of Flushing Creek, electrical service to some of our early
exhibitors will not be available until late July.
Minor awards have been made for testing and for treating chemica.lly the
waters of Meadow and Willow Lakes. Another minor contract will be awarded
shortly for a small dike to protect the park from overflow by high tides.
Planning and design are not moving as rapidly as desirable. The change
order reported on last month to revise the method of electrical service to the
City Building, has not yet reached the department of Water Supply, Gas & Electricity.
Designs for the Press Building, and for the next phase of paving, of water supply
and of electrical and lighting service have each been delayed one month. Eleven
sizeable contracts are scheduled for award by l July under revised schedules, of
which 4 are to be let by the Fair and 7 by the Park Department. It appears doubtful
i:f all these contracts can be gotten out in tbis short time; but no further major
delays are expected.
Exhibitor s Design and Construction
Preliminary plans from appro:xllnately 3 5 exhibitors have been reviewed;
15 have been approved; the remainder awaiting additional information. Definitive
working drawings have been received from 3 of our exhibitors and actual construction
work started on 2 with several more to follow in the next ten days. A list of
revised exhibitor construction schedules is attached.

SUitJECT:
The Governor has signed the bill which was introduced at
the instance of the Fair Corporation to reduce the quorum requireD
ment at a meeting of the Board of Directors of the Fair Corporation.
Under the new law (Chapter 958 of the Laws of 1962)
the quorum at a Board of Directors meeting of the Fair Corporation
is the number of directors :fixed for such quorum by the Bylaws
of the Fair Corporation, except that the number may not be less
than the number for the quorum at a Members Meeting.
The Bylaws of the Fair Corporation require 20 Members
as the quorum at a Members meeting, Such Bylaws currently
require one-third of the Directors as the quorum at a Directora
meeting. We recommend that in accordance with the new statute,
the Bylaws be amended so as to conform the quorum requirement
at a Directors meeting to the quorum requirement at a Members
meeting; that is, to make 20 Pirectors a quorum for a Directors
meeting, instead of the present one-third.
If you approve, this action can be taken at the Executive
Committee meeting of May 7th.

350.00.
A great many revisions were required because of
change of staff and other reasons, which now bring the cost

the contract and I recommend approval of the payment of
the additional bill for $23, 995. 09. All items have been
checked by the Comptroller.
It is estimated that the total cost, including the cost
of extras, revisions and Progress Films 3 and 4, will come
to approximately $125,000. I recommend that authorization
be approved for work to be done up to a total estimated
cost of $125,000.
