PROGRESS REPORT
{as of December 10, 1962)
I. Since our last Progress Report of November 7, 1962, we have made
definite progress among the following companies:
(A) RADIO CORPORATION OF AMERICA on December 12, 1962
officially approved RCA participation at the Fair. All the
details of the lease involving numerous complications have been
resolved by Mr. Thornton and RCA's attorney. This has been
a long and difficult negotiation and we are delighted that RCA is
at last committed to exhibiting at the Fair.
(B) WESTlliGHOUSE ELECTRIC COMPANY Lease negotiations are
in the final stages with certain variances still to be approved by
the Legal Department and the Conformity Committee. Approxi-
mately 22, 000 sq. ft. is involved in the Federal-State Section,
the site of the 1939 Westinghouse Time Capsule (Block 41 -Lot 3).
(C) BROWN & WILLIAMSON TOBACCO CORPORATION Lease
negotiations are in the final stages, covering 14, 684 sq. ft. 1n
Block 21- Lot 1. Architects (Skidmore, Owings & Merrill) and
builders (George A. Fuller Company), and interior designers
(Teague Associates), have already been contracted for. We
anticipate an attractive and substantial exhibit at this entrance
to the Fair alongside the RCA Exhibit.
n. Favorable progress continues in the following situations:
(A) ARGUS INCORPORATED Mr. Herbert Leopold, President
of the company, will be in New York on December 12th to discuss
more specific plans for an exhibit involving approximately 10, 000
sq. ft.
(B) ART MUSEUM Mr. Charles Spalding, in conjunction with
McGraw-Hill and Price Matthews Corporation, believes he has
a sponsor who will support an art exhibit on a 40, 000 sq. :ft.
plot (in all likelihood Block 9 - Lot 10). A $2, 000, 000 to
Page4
INDUSTRIAL SECTION
PROGRESS REPORT
(as of December 10, 1962)
II. (B) ART MUSEUM (continued)
$3,000,000 expenditure is involved, probably with an entrance charge.
(C) GENERAL :MILLS, INC. General Rawlings, President of
General Mills, and Nate Crabtree, Vice President in charge
of Public Relations, have approved an exhibit plan for a site
covering 20,000 sq. ft. We expect to visit Minneapolis shortly
for more extensive talks where the prospects, for the first
time in several months, seem to have been definitely revived.
(D) LADIES' HOME JOURNAL This division of the Curtis
Publishing Company has asked for a site covering approximately
25,000 sq. ft. and has their staff actively worldng on a projected
exhibit.
(E) P. LORlLLARD CO. A change in top management at Lorillard
has reopened consideration of Fair participation. Mr. Morgen
Cramer, now President, is a Fair enthusiast. Dan Ladd,
Advertising Director, is arranging for a meeting with Mr. Cramer.
(F) MINNEAPOUS-HONEYWELL REGULATOR CO, Original
concepts submitted by a designer of their own choice were rejected.
A new model and drawings were sent to Mirmeapolis on December 7.
We should receive an answer shortly. Interest remains active.
(G) PARKER PEN COMPANY Parker has requested that a representative
of this Section be in Janesville on December 1'7. They now wish to
discuss a prime exhibit area of 15, 000 sq. ft.
(H) REVLON Despite the fact that Charles Revson, President of
Revlon, asked for a "hold" on 20, 000 sq. ft. (Block 11 - Lot 7)
in a meeting attended by Mr. Deegan and myself, he continues
to be unavailable for further talks on a concrete proposal.

(as of r:ecember 10, 1962)
II. (H) REVLON (continued)
Mr. Mandel, Executive Vice President of Revlon, remains
confident, however, that Mr. Revson wants to be in the Fair
and continually n e e d l e ~ ; him, on our insistence (and persistence).
(I) STANDARD BRANDS, INC. (Planters Peanuts) We continue
to be unable to pin down a definite acceptance or rejection, but
recent help from the Brass Rail with Mr. J. Paul Bryant, Vice
President, and Mr. P. I. Eisenminger, Vice President of
Standard Brands Sales Co. , has kept interest alive.
(J) Negotiations are also continuing with the following companies:
Schlitz Brewing Company
Magna vox
Philip Morris
Lever Brothers Co.
Brillium Metals Corporation
National Coal Policy Council
Sperry Rand -Univac Division
Carling Breweries
all of these in preliminary discussions.
m. This past month has been a particularly discouraging and frustrating
one for the Industrial Section because of a number of bitter disappointments:
(A) AMERICAN HOME PRODUCTS After several meetings, American
Home Products has sent us a final decision of withdrawal of
consideration of an exhibit.
(B) P. BALLANTINE & SONS Despite every evidence that Ballantine
would sponsor the Assembly Arena on Block 35-A (111, 000 sq. ft.)
we have been turned dovm. A major investment of $15,000,000 by
Ballantine in brewery improvements was given as the reason.

PROGRESS REPORT
m. (C) ELGIN NATIONAL WATCH CO. A meeting of Elgin's Board
of Directors on November 18th found a proposal to lease 25, 000
sq. ft. too expensive. We have some hope of reviving a project
of lesser dimensions and expense.
(D) H. J. HEINZ CO, At a special meeting on November 12th,
attended by Mr. Heinz and Mr. Armour, an exhibit plan covering
20,000 sq. ft. on the Pool of Industry failed to meet approval.
We will continue to pursue Heinz, but the prospects look dim
despite previous optimism by everyone connected with this
presentation.
(E) SINGER SEWING MACIIDJE CO, After consideration of a design
submitted by us, Singer Sewing Machine Co. has rejected parti-
cipation in the Fair.
(F) 20th CENTURY FOX An original estimate of $1,000,000 to
$1, 500,000 for the cost of transporting the Cleopatra Barge to
Flushing Meadow ultimately resulted, after considerable expense
and study of costs, in an increased estimate of $2, 500, 000. The
project has therefore been abandoned.
IV. Developments since the last Progress Report among the Multiple
Exhibitors have been hectic and, typically, confusing:
(A) BETTER LIVING Edward Burdick has refused to marry with any
other .multiple exhibitor. This decision was made after several
days of negotiation. As late as the day this report is being sub-
mitted, we were hopeful that California and Texas interests would
be underwriting the Better Living building, but the very latest
information is that the necessary financing will not be forthcoming.
Prospects of Better Living being in the Fair, therefore, are bleak.
(B) Each of the Multiple Exhibitors has been given demands of strict
compliance with the requirements of submission of preliminary
plans and construction permits, plus building schedules.

IV. (C) GRAPHIC ARTS' lease has been officially terminated (50, 001

(D) PROJECT '64 has 1mtil December 31, 1962, when the next
lease payment of $90,000 is due. The likelihood of their
success is minimal.
V. SPECIAL PROJECTS
(A) PAN AMERICAN EIGHWAY Dr. Bertram D. Talla.my is
working in cooperation with this Section and a full presentation
has been prepared on the use of Walt Disney's Circarama. A
presentation will be made to Standard Oil Company of New Jersey
by Dr. Tallamy and ourselves. Landon Thorne, Jr. of Bankers
Trust Company has indicated an interest on the part of his bank
in extending a loan for half of the cost of this project (approxi-
mately $1,000,000 of a $2,000, 000 total cost) but this is being
reserved for consideration by a less substantial company than
ESSO and would involve the principle of an admission charge.
(B) REH.ABILiri'A TION CENTER Designs have been completed
and costs determined for an exhibit by Dr. Rusk's Institute of
Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation.
Presentations to a number of insurance companies are being
held up pending return of Dr. Rusk from a trip to the Far East.
(C) AMERICAN MEDICAL ASSOCIATION Dr. Annis, the new President
of the AM.A, and his Board of Directors have given approval of
a concerted effort by the AMA to obtain the support of the Druq
and Pharmaceutical companies for a Hall of Medicine. With Red
Motley's help, what might otherwise have been a limited expenditure
by AMAin a multiple exhibit building may now possibly be converted
into a major exhibit at the Fair. At least hope still remains even
at this late date.

On November 30, General Motors signed a lease .
supplement under which it assumed the obli
gation to landscape and maintain 62,086 sq.
ft. of back area adjoining their exhibit .
In return for the substantial additional
expenses that GM will incur, they will be
permitted to install a lUDited number of
outdoor exhibits on the new space.
Messrs. Briggs 6 Crane are continuing their
plans on this project. Becauae of a lack of
support from other firms in the industry, it
now appears that the Outboard Marine Corpora-
tion will play the major role in the Center.
I believe this will reduce the size of this
exhibit.
On November 23, Greyhound signed the leaae
for their combination BxhibitMaintenance-
Operations area in the Transportation
Section.
Century Grill bas previously signed a lease
for llp001 sq. ft. We have concluded nego
tiations for an additional strip of. approxi-
mately 3,350 sq. ft. The exact amount of
additional space needed and the execution of
the lease supplement must await the completion!
of prelUninary construction plans which will
be filed in mid-December.
The Pair's legal staff is now preparing a
lease draft. Meanwhile, the organizers of
this project are going ahead rapidly with
their planning. We expect to sign a lease
in January.
We expect the lease signing for this con-
cession in mid-January. Mr. Constable

It finally appears that the stroller
concession will become a reality. As a
matter of fact, we now have two firm propos-
als - one from Strol-A-Matic, Inc. and
another from a syndicate headed by Mr. Rubie
who is the largest stockholder in The Hertz
Rent-A-Car Corporation.
After several months of inactivity, we have
finally been able to get Eastern back on the
track for the World
1
s Fair. We should have
a good deal more information for the next
Executive Committee meeting.
We anticipate that in late December Mobile
Care will sign a lease for 10,000 sq. ft. at
the western end of Lot 5019, Mobile Care is
a charitable organization that will supply
wheel chairs and other means of transportation
to disabled visitors.
An Agreement had been reached in conjunction
with Mr. Constable for leasing 15,052 sq. ft.
for a luxury restaurant. The agreement calli
for a sliding scale of percentage of gross
revenues to be applied against the basic
rental of $8.00 per sq. ft.
Subsequent to the above, all action has been
deferred until Mr. Stone has settled his nego
tiations with this client for a large area in
the Industrial Section.
We expect a final decision on this project
in the near future.
Although the client has expressed a preferance:
for 17,000 sq. ft. in Lot 50-19 in the Trans-
portation Section, negotiations have been
suspended pending the outcome of a proposed
International Plaza in the International
Section.
The promotion staff of the Mobil Oil Company,
the domestic marketing arm of Socony Mobil,
has recommended participation with a specific
exhibit proposal. Higher m a n a g e m e ~ t has the
recommendation under consideration and we
hope for a decision in the near future.

Following up my meeting with Mr. Webb of
NASA on November we have developed a
new plan for Aerospace Island, which we
have placed before all of the important
firms in the industry. They are presently
evaluating it and we expect to have their
reaction by the end of this month.
Mr. McCollum, Chairman of the Board of API,
has advised us that although the API was
greatly impressed with the Disney naau of
Presidents", the API Board of Directors have
decided to reaffirm its earlier decision not
to participate in the Fair. Despite this
decision. we are now developing alternative
exhibit ideas in the hope that this industry
can be made to change its mind. The d:l.ffi
culty is that the Board of Directors objected
to an admissions show and we were unable to
dissuade them.
We have continued our efforts, in conjunction
with District Attorney O'Connor's staff, to
sell the idea of a Motoring Safety Center.
The response to date has not been encouraging.
However, there is a possibility that the two
or three groups which still have the proposal
under consideration may sponsor this project.
After several months of detailed study, Good
year has advised that they do not have
sufficient time to design and construct the
Carveyor, I am not now hopeful that they
will exhibit but we will keep trying.

strollers and wheel chairs.
Since then, a proposal has been received from another group

We have received from Howard R. &'uslak, President of
MacDonald and Co., Inc. of Nnw York, Financial Consultants, acting as
an individual, and Richard S. nobie of Boston, Massachusetts, Director
and largest single shareholder of the Hertz Corporation, a proposal for
the baby stroller and wheel chair concession. The terms are as follows:
1. Lease 12,000 sq. ft. in the Industrial Area and two units
of 6, 000 sq. ft. each in the Transportation Area.
Pay $8. 00 per sq. ft. - $192, 000 - to apply against
10% of the gross income.
2. They want to have dignified advertising on the strollers.
This would be subject to Fair Corporation approval.
3. The right to have vending machines in the 3 locations. The
number of machines and food items sold would be subject
to Fair Corporation approval.
4. The right to sell souvenirs and they would pay us 12% of
such gross income. Fair Corporation would specify what
souvenirs they could sell.
5. They expect to have construction manufacturers build 3 pre-
fabricated types of buildings, subject to our approval.
The terms of this proposal are more advantageous to the Fair a.t;\d
the individuals concerned are more financially responsible than the
proposal received from Strol-A-Matic, Inc.
The staif has approved acceptance of thls proposal and I concur.
Therefore, I request authorization from the Executive Committee to

Amendment of Article XX of the Fair Corporation's

Article XX of the Fair Corporation

s General Regulations
presently provides in substance that exhibits may not be copied
or reproduced without consent of the exhibitor but that the .
Fair Corporation may permit firms to copy or reproduce exterior
views of exhibits. Interior views are subject to approval by the
exhibitor.
I that Article XX be revised to make clear
that although an exhibitor may copy or reproduce his own exhibit,
he may not copy or reproduce other exhibits or permit others
to copy or reproduce his exhibit without the consent of the
Fair Corporation.
In addition, I believe that Article XX should make clear
that the Fair Corporation's licensees will have the right to distribute
and sell articles containing reproductions of exhibits.
The amended regulation would read as follows:

the Fair Corporation should provide a simple, inexpensive building for the
operation.
If a Post Office is not located on the Fair grounds, no mail will be

su8JICT: PROPOSED LICENSE FOR WC>RLD'S FAIR FLASHLIGHT NOVELTY ITEMS
A category of souvenir products which have a place in a balanced
merchandise program for New York World's Fair souvenir items involves
battery-operated flashlight products. This would include pen-lights
{fLashlights in the shape of fountain pens), key-chain lights, compact purse
lights, and rechargeable fl.ashl ight sets that would'retail in the $1. 00 to
$2. 00 category generally.
Such novelty flashlight products are not found generally in the lines
of tile recognized national brand leaders in the battery field such as
Eveready, Burgess and Ray-0-Vac. Media Enterprises, therefore., con-
centrated on the companies with substantial manufacturing and national
distribution facilities which now specialize in such items and whose range
of manufacturing activities could result in the development of the imagi-
native line of products they believe desirable in this field.
Proposals were obtained from two companies:
l. Bright Star Industries, Clifton, New Jersey
2. Mallory Battery Company, No. Tarrytown, New York
Bright Star Industries has been in business for over 50 years and
lists among its established customers the leading retail chains and depart-
ment stores in the country. It offered $10,000 advance payment against a
5% royalty.
The Mallory Battery Company is a division of P.R. Mallory and
Company, Inc. with headquarters in Indianapolis, Indiana. This is a com-
pany of both national and international stature in the cordless electricity
field. It enjoyed gross sales of $85, 000, 000 in 1961 -- the result of the
activities of its 11 divisions. lviallory Battery has been particularly
aggressive in the consumer products field backing up its sales activities
with national advertising campaigns in Life and other publications,
Mallory offered an advance of $15, 000 against a 5% royalty

S FAIR SCARVES AND HANDKERCHIEFS
(Under $100, 000)
The category of women's, men's and children's handkerchiefs
and women's scarves offers an attractive potential in revenue and in
promotional value for the Fair Corporation's program.
Media Enterprises, Inc. , our licensing agent, interviewed 13
companies in an effort to obtain the best proposal for this license. Of
the 13 companies, proposals were submitted by the following:
1. Brian Fabrics Products
2. Durlacher and Company, Inc.
3. Victor B. Randal & Bro. , Inc.
4. Handcraft Mig. Co.
5. Herrmann-Herzman Inc.
6. Novelty Veiling Co., Inc.
7. I. Shalom & Co.
8. David E. Schwab & Company, Inc.
9. Vera, Inc .
Victor B. Randal & Bro. offered an advance payment of $15, 000
to apply against a straight 5% royalty.
Herrmann-Herzman Inc. made the same offer.
Vera, Inc. offered an advance of $17, 500 to apply against
royalties as follows:
6% on the first $500,000 of sales,
7% on the next $200, 000,
8% on the next $200, 000, and
9% on all sales in excess of $900, 000.
In addition to making the best offer, Media believes Vera would
be by all odds the most aggressive company in promoting offsite sales
which would bring the greatest revenue return to the Fair as well as the
most meaningful promotional benefits far in advance of the Fair's opening

S PUBLICA'I!ONS
The rights to reproduce likenesses of the various buildings and
attractions of the Fair will lend themselves appropriately to the publica-
tion and sale of children's books of both an entertainment and
educational appeal. This includes coloring books, punch out books,
activity books, comic books and story books. Media Enterprises dis-
cussed such a license with the following six companies:
Doubleday and Company, Inc. -New York City
Fernand and Spertus Publishers, Inc. -New York City
Lowe, Inc. - Kenosha, Wisconsin
The MacMillan Company - New York City
Saalfield Publishing Company - Akron, Ohio
Western Printing - Racine, Wisconsin

Doubleday, and Fernand and Spertus.

Cigarette lighters, bearing the "Unisphere" or reproductions of
various bull dings of the Fair, should prove to be worthwhile additions
to the Fair
1
s merchandise prog-.cam since they have both souvenir and
functional value.
Media Enterprises, our licensing agent, interviewed the following
five companies:
1. Ebsco Industries, Inc. , of Birmingham, Alabama
2. Jacques Kreisler Manufacturing Corporation, of
North Bergen, New Jersey
3. Ronson Corporation, of Woodbridge, New Jersey
4. Scripta, Inc. , of Atlanta, Georgia
5. Zippo Manufacturing Company, of New York City
Jacques Kreisler concluded that their product would be too
high priced for the public attending the Fair.
The Ronson Corporation stated it was against company policy to
pay royalties in connection with the sale of its lighters.
The Zippo Manufacturing Company did not elect to make a proposal.
The two proposals received were from Ebsco Industries, Inc. and
Scripta, Inc.
Scripta markets items that retail at $3. 95 to $5. 00 but stated if it
were granted the license, it would introduce a $1.98 lighter for sale at
the Fair. They offered an advance payment of $15,000 to apply against a
8% royalty.
Scripto does not employ organized labor.
Ebsco was established in 1943 and has dealt in the volume importation
of Japanese lighters under the Vulcan trade-name. In view of their well-
established lighter business, Ebsco maintains a permanent buying office in

Japan. Its line of lighters sell from $1. 00 to $15. 00 retail and it has been
averaging $10, 000,000 in sales annually for all of its products. It sells
each product with a life-time guarantee of repair at no cost to the purchaser.
It has its own sales force of 120 men and maintains active accounts with
some 4, 000 advertising specialty distributors throughout the country.
Ebsco offers an advance payment of $37, 500 to apply against a
10% royalty on its $1. 00 retail line and 12% on its higher priced line.
The Dun & Bradstreet report on Ebsco carries an AA 1 rating.
Ebsco can make no commitment regarding the labor status on per-
sonnel preparing the product in Japan but the license would contain our
customary provision regarding the union status of personnel making
deliveries to the Fair site and sales at the Fair. Judge Maguire has been
consulted in this matter and has no objection to our negotiating with Ebsco.
Media recommends that the license be awarded to Ebsco and the
staff agrees. I concur and in view of the fact that the estimated income
to the Fair will be less than $100, 000, I request your approval to 111ard
the license to Ebsco.

Attached hereto is a letter dated November 19, 1962 which
Mr. Witt turned over to me from Gilmore Clarke. The letter
states that on July 1, 1962 the partnership of Clarke and Rapuano
transferred their professional activities to Clarke and Rapuano, Inc.
Mr. Clarke requests permission to bill the Fair Corporation through
Clarke and Rapuano, Inc. beginning September 1, 1962.
You will recall that a similar change from partnership to
corporate activities was made in the case of Andrews and Clark
a short while ago.
The significance of such a change lies principally in the fact
that in the case of a corporate entity liability is limited to the
assets of the corporation, whereas in the case of a partnership the
individual partners are responsible for obligations of the partnership
not only out of partnership assets but also out of their personal funds.
Inasmuch as a transfer was approved in the case of Andrews
and Clark, we assume that you and Mr. Witt have no objection to
this transfer.
If this is the case, we suggest that you send a memorandum
to Mr. Moses somewhat along the lines of the attached memo which
you sent under date of ~ t o b e r 4, 1962 concerning the Andrews and
Clark situation. Upon approvd by Mr. Moses the matter should go
before the Executive Committee as was done in the case of Andrews

rn order to avoid unnecessary problems with respect to the drainage
of storm water from participants' sites, it is desirable that the Fair
Corporation's regulations be amended to provide generally for the
drainaqe of storm water from the participant's leased site to the Fair
Corporation's storm drainage system. Accordingly, I recommend the
addition of a new Article 27 of Part 1 of the Fair Corporation's Special
Regulations as follows:
27. STORM DRAINAGE SYSTEM
In order to adequately provide for the drainage of storm water
from the participant's site to the Fair Corporation's storm drainage
system, the participa.YJ.t shall be required to comply with the following
conditions:
(a) The participant shall insure that all roof drains shall be
connected directly to the Fair Corporation's storm drainage system.
Connections shall be made at the catch basin or drain stub located at
or adjacent to the participant's site, and, shall be made by means of
a conduit manufactured from a material or materials approved under
the provisions of the Fair Corporation's Building Code.
(b) The participant shall, by a method approved in writing by
the Fair Corporation, provide all paved areas at his site with drainage
inlets connected to the Fair Corporation's storm drainage system, or,
in the alternative, shall cause all such paved areas to be drained into
the adjacent streets in a manner satisfactory to the Fair Corporation.
Participant will also be required to insl.l!'e that no concentrated flow of
storm water from the participant's site is conducted into adjacent
streets by means of curb cuts or surface pipe.
(c) The participant shall grade all landscaped areas at his
site so that the pocketing of storm water may be prevented, and will
design such grade so as to maintain the natural sheet flow of storm
water. Whenever deemed necessary by the Fair Corporation, the
participant shall provide piped outlets from such landscaped areas
to the Fair Corporation's storm drainage system.
contd.
ROBERT MOSES -2- December 13, 1962
{d) Whenever the elevation of the participant's site is such
that the natural flow of storm water is from the participant's site to
an adjacent site, participant must obtain the prior written approval
of the Fair Corporation in order to permit such natural flow to continue.
In the event the participant does not obtain such approval from the
Fair Corporation, he shall cause such drainage to be piped directly to
the storm sewer in the adjacent street.
This regulation was drawn up with the assistance and approval of
Andrews and Clarke, our consultants, and also has been reviewed
edited and approved by Legal Counsel. .

susJrCT. Design and World's Fair Construction
Your approval is requested of the following report for presentation to the
Executive Committee.
Final plans have just been received for the Pool of Industry (Fountain of the
Planets) and for the Solar and Lunar Fountains. However, the Astral Fountain
and the street lighting plans have been delayed over a month. On road and bridge
items the major paving contract for ne>..i. year and the three parking fields have each
been delayed by a month, and the two remaining bridges are also late. All of these
road and bridge items are now due in fina.l form by the end of December. Plans for
the information booths were delayed by a change in requirements, and plans for the
covered assembly pavilion are held up by necessity of processing a variance through
the Board of Standards and Appeals. None of these delays appears serious in itself,
but at this time no delay is acceptable. We should still be able to get the last oi these
items under contract by 1 April unless further slippages occur.
The 4160 volt electric system is now almost complete for the main exhibit
area of the Fair. The interim maintenance arrangement will be terminated and the
system turned over to Operations Division for maintenance on 5 January.
A minimum network of roads is now reasonably satisfactory for construction
traffic throughout the main exhibit area. To supplement the paving under Park
Department contracts, cinder roads have been shaped up to complete the network
essential for winter traffic. A letter-size map has been prepared for contractors
and suppliers indicating the roads to be used this winter, and the location of various
exhibitors pa.villons with reference to the road system. Temporary street signs
wlll be placed by the end of this month.
The Security Building is nearing completion but will not be ready for occupancy
before 7 J"a.nua.ry, a delay of three weeks. The press building is closed in and is
going ver1 well, and four of the five administrative and maintenance buildings now
have steel erected.

Two World's Fair contracts have been entered into, as authorized
A. The Unisphere foundation, to D. Fortunato, Inc. for $97, 804.00
B. Entrance ticket booths, to Taller-Cooper, Inc. for $228, 600. 66
Separate memoranda are submitted regarding these contracts.
One new exhibitors memorandum has been issued, governing precautions to
be observed in temporary water connections to avoid freezing of hydrants during
winter weather.
A total of ll. exhibitors have been issued permits to commence construction,
of which a b o u t ~ are actively at work. Among those most actively engaged, Ford
and General Motors both have impressive frameworks of structural steel in place
and are working on walls. The Bell System has all of its steel and wood piles in
place and is proceeding with the main slab. Travelers Insurance has all piles and
pile caps in place and is working on outer walls. G. E. pavilion has walls and a
la.rqe part of its superstructure in place. The New York State pavilion has completed
eight of the sixteen reinforced concrete 100 ft. towers, utilizing the slip form method
of construction. The completion of this difficult work during unfavorable weather
indicates a recognitiOn of the importance of pushing conatruction now. EXhibitors
plans and applications are now being processed in increasing numbers, still without
appreciable delays.
The labor force again increased substantially in November. World's Fair and
Park Department contracts now employ an average of 464, and exhibitors' contracts
845, or a total of 1109 on the World's Fair site. This compares with 856last month,
a gain of about 30%.

MEMORANDUM TO ARTHUR S. HODGKISS
FROM JOHN T. O'NEILL
RE: Progress on Arterial Highway Construction
in the Vicinity of the World's Fair
The onset of cold weather has caused an appreciable
decrease in production. Generally, this will not affect the total
progress on the highways because the contractors' schedules
anticipated a slowdown during the winter months.
On Contract No. 6 (DeLillo) the parkway paving across
the Utopia Parkway bridge has not been completed, which may
hold the detour on the service road all winter.
On Contract No. 15 (Ottaviano) work has stopped on all
concrete operations, which will delay opening the new bridge until
probably June 1st with delays to the adjoining contracts. The
contractor has been summoned to Albany for a showdown on
December 18th.

in spite of direct orders from the Superintendent of Public Works that the
work should continue during the winter months. Ottaviano has been called
to Albany for a conference on Tuesday, December 18th. I will report to
you on the result of this meeting.
The District Engineer has said that he would pay for additional
detour facilities in order to permit Slattery to continue his work on North-
ern Boulevard on schedule. However, up to this time we have been unable
to secure any definite information about these arrangements and have no
assurance that they will be carried out on a satisfactory basis. I will
have a further report for you on this next Thursday.
