DAYS TO OPENING DAY
STATEMENr OF EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE
OF NEW YORK WORLD'S FAIR 1964-1965 CORPORATION
At a meeting on October 15, 1963 the Executive Committee of the
New York World's Fair 1964-1965 Corporation unanimously adopted the
following statement as the sense of the meeting:
A number of statements and demands have been made, either in
sincere ignorance of the facts or in wilful disregard of them, concerning
the management and operation of the World's Fair Corporation and reduced
prices for admission of children to the Fair.
These recldess attacks, if continued, will be repeated by news
media outside the City and abroad. They will damage the confidence in
management upon which success of the Fair depends, They will do
immeasurable harm to the prestige of The City of New York, the home of
the Fair. Accordingly, the Executive Committee of the Fair Corporation
I
points out the following facts and annotmces its views towards such state-
ments and demands.
1. We state tmequivocally that we have absolute confidence
in Robert Moses, the President of the Fair Corporation, and his
staff and consultants. We are in close touch with all managerial
activities. We have not the slightest doubt that the Fair's manage-
ment has been diligent, honest, prudent and nonpolitical in
protecting the interests of the Fair's noteholders, its exhibitors
-2-
and concessionaires, and all others who are concerned with the
Fair's success and who have, in one way or another, staked a billion
dollars on such success.
2. We are certain the Fair will be a success --financially,
culturally, educationally and internationally. The lion's share of
the credit will belong to Mr. Moses.
3. Mr. Moses is used to the kind of attack he is now receiving.
It was in the face of just such tactics that he built parks and parkways,
beaches, bridges, and tunnels, public power facilities and scores of
other public projects. He and his associates built the World's Fair
from the ground up. By April 22, 1964 he and they will have pro-
duced the greatest exposition the world has ever seen.
4. The World's Fc:tir Corporation is not a governmental agency
which can raise funds by levies on taxpayers. It is not staffed with
public employees. It is a private nonprofit membership corporation,
governed by officers, Executive and Finance Committees, a Board
of Directors, and Members, and supported wholly by its own funds.
5. The officers of the Fair Corporation submit detailed reports
to the Executive Committee. Contracts of any substantial size are
fully considered and passed upon by the Executive Committee at
regular monthly meetings. The proceedings of the Executive Committee
-3-
are submitted several times a year for approval by the Board of
Directors--a group of 250 leading citizens from all over the country
from government, business, education and other walks of life. 'Th.e
proceedings of the Board of Directors are in turn submitted to the
Members at their Annual Meeting. A list of the Executive Committee,
the Board, and the Members is attached.
6. Financial decisions of substantial magnitude are first
reviewed and approved by the Finance Committee. A list of the
members of that Committee is attached.
7. All structures built by the Fair Corporation and all of
its operations are paid for out of the proceeds of a Note issue
purchased by private individuals and corporations, monies borrowed
from banks, rentals from exhibits, concessions and licenses, and
admissions to the Fair.
8. It is our obligation to see that the Fair Corporation
repays its Notes and these other borrowed monies and fully protects
the interests of participants with their huge investments in the Fair.
The 1939-1940 World's Fair defaulted on its bonds, paying only
32 cents on the dollar. This is not going to be allowed to happen
with the present Fair.
-4-
9. The City of New York bas appropriated $24,000,000
for permanent City improvements in Flushing Meadow Park, not
for World's Fair structures. All of the contracts with respect to
this $24, 000, 000 have been let by the City under its usual procedures.
The Fair Corporation, after meeting its Notes and other obligations,
will pay for these City improvements out of its revenues just as it
expects to pay for the remaining amount, at least $11, 000,000,
needed to finish the Park after the Fair. Thus, the Fair Corporation,
out of its revenues, will leave a great legacy to the City--another
Central Park for the future--wholly without cost to the public. It
will assist the economy of the City through the hundreds of millions
of dollars expended by participants in the Fair and millions of
visitors to the Fair. It is the City who will be the beneficiary of
the Fair rather than its benefactor. But the Fair can only achieve
these aims if it is allowed to operate on a business basis without
political interference or dictation. It cannot do so if it is compelled
to reduce its admission prices to nominal sums at the behest of
every group--and there have already been several--that thinks
itself entitled to special consideration.
10. Reckless statements have been made to the effect that
the Fair Corporation is subsidized by public monies. Such state-
m e n t ~ are utterly inaccurate. Neither the City, the State nor the
-5-
federal government is subsidizing the Fair Corporation. Indeed,
unlike international, industrial and transportation exhibitors, these
governments are not paying rent for their exhibit space. Aside
from their own exhibits and the $24,000,000 for permanent City park
improvements above mentioned, including a Zoological and Botanical
Garden, any amounts expended by the City will be for its permanent
Hall of Science and its own exhibit. The sums being expended by the
United States and the State of New York are for their own exhibits,
for permanent, badly needed, highway improvements, and a
permanent marina for the use of the public.
11. The admission charges to the Fair have been determined,
not by Mr. Moses, but by the Executive Committee. Mr. Moses
has no power to change the admission rates. All of the Directors
and Members of the Fair Corporation were kept informed of the
admissions charges and approved them in formal meetings.
12. The reasons for not acceding to the current demands for
reductions in admission rates have been fully stated by Mr. Moses,
and the Executive Committee endorses them as so stated. Mr. Moses
has, however, made a recommendation to the Executive Committee
on the subject of children's admissions. After full discussion today,
this recommendation was approved. It is as follows:
-6-
On each Monday of July and August, all children,
ages two through twelve, no matter where they live or
whether they come singly or in groups, w:i.ll be admitted
to the Fair on payment of 25 cents each at the gates.
This reduction applies to admission to the Fair only.
The great bulk of exhibits and attractions within the Fair
are free but the prices to paid attractions will remain
as contractually stipulated in the Fair Corporation's
agreements with exhibitors and concessionaires as will
prices for intramural transportation, food, and the like.
13. A Fair is not easily assembled. It must persuade
foreign nations, including the new Republics, States of the Union,
industries, churches, amusements and concessionaires to
participate. It must guarantee honest competition ofthe finest
skills and products. It must assure prospective visitors at home
and abroad of a friendly welcome, co!l}fort, order, safety and con-
sideration. It must command respect as a sound, non-profit,
civic undertaldng free from politics and under the auspices of
citizens proud of New York, on its 300th Anniversary, and anxious
to maintain and enhance its reputation.
14. The World's Fair, with the legacy of a great park it will
leave for future generations of New Yorkers, could never have
become a reality without Robert Moses. It is now well on the way
to completion. It will be ready on time. It will mean more to our
City than the dollars added to the economy or the many visitors or
even the great park. It will mean prestige, culture, leadership
and the promotion of international understanding.
. ' ..
-7-
15. There is only one possible way to prevent the success
of this great continuance here and abroad of the campaign
of distortion, abuse and falsehood by publicity seekers, sensation-
mongers, and candidates for office who seek to promote their
personal gain at the expense of damage to their City and the Fair.
We are confident the citizens of New York and the responsible news
media will help us to insure that this campaign is crushed before
it advances further.

Vice-President - Operations
September 26, 1963
New York World's Fair 1964-1965 O o ~ .
Flushing Meadow Park
Flushing 52, N. Y.
Dear Mr. Constable:
We are pleased to submit herewith our estimated budget
for supervisor,y personnel for the operation and maintenance
of all phases ot the Fair which were designed by us and
constructed UDder our supervision.
It is contemplated that we will have personnel on the
site at all times that the Fair is open to the public
(10 A.M. - Midnight - ? d ~ s per week) and additionally at
such times as repair or maintenance work is being perf'oJ.'"Dled
on anything under our jurisdiction.
Insofar as possible, these men will be those who wnre
involved in the design and/or supervision of the construc-
tion and installation. They would be thoroughly familiar
with the equipment and with the functioning and operation
ot it.
e.et4o
We have been involved in tour distinct areas which will
require constant attention:
1. Fountains and Pools. There are eleven (11) such ele-
ments iDclud!Dg the spectacular Fountain of the Planets.
Several of these are rather elaborate and constant obser-
vation and checking will be required to assure proper
operation.
The Fountain of the Planets - which will have a i'ea.ture
presentation each evening - Will require ver,y close super-
vision. Each evening, tor example, a responsible person
must decide whether the standard show - or a curtailed
11
windy
night" show - shall be presented. The "electronic brain"
control system must be checked periodically to insure its
proper functioning. The actual tiring of the pyrotechnics
must be checked to insure satistactor;r performance and to
determine proper payment to the contractor. The sound system
must be regularly monitored to assure continuing quality.
Electrical inspections must be made to ma!Dtain sate conditions.
- 1 -
2. Sound System. This system coaprises f'ive hundred (500)
speaiers on theroads and walks as well as speakers at the
Entrances and the special sound system in the Fountain o
the Planets. The operators of the system will be employees
of the World's Fair l1a:i.ntenance Co. but the supervision and
responsibility for maintenance of' quality and
performance would be the responsibility of' the supervisory
personnel.
3. Lighting and Spectacular Lighting Ef'.fects. _There are
approximately 4000 lighting fixtures with nearly 20,000
light bulbs which are associated with the street lighting,
flagpole lighting, pools and fountaiDs and spectacular ele-
ments. or these have elaborate control systems and
are very specialized pieces of' equipment.
They must be checked at regular intervals to assure
their correct and proper functioning. The Unisphere, tor
example, has 85 - each with an indiVidual control
circuit which operates through a cycle. These 85 projectors
are indif'iduall;y controlled through a set or six timers
which must remain in &7-nchronization.
4. Fireworks. The Fountain of the Planets has approximately
500 firework mortars. Each performance o.f the Fountain will
utilize a certain number of these. The fireworks contractor
is paid on the basis ot "shots" that are actually- .fired during
each show. For satisfactory performance of' the equipment and
for payment purposes, it Will be necessary to supervise and
verity correct loading or mortars and quantities used.
We have studied the requirements outlined above aQd
feel that nine persons will be required to properly provide
this service to the Fair Corp. Additionally, we contemplate
that J. s. Hamel Will make periodic trips East .for the pur-
pose ot inspection and minor modifications to the shows being
presented at the Fountain ot the Planets.
Our has been based on the 180 season of 1964
from April 22 to October 18 and we suggest a budget amount
ot $142,000 to cover the services described above. Our
compensation would be at the rate of times plus
expenses, as in our preVious . agreements will the Fair Corp.
This may be roughly prorated-- among the four areas as follows:
Fountains $ 40,000
Sound 65,000
Lighting 25,000
Fireworks 12,000
Total 1142,000
- 2 -
will be work at the conclusion ot the first
season related to bedding down .the equipment for the winter
and there will also be work connected with reactivating tor
the second rear. We feel that it is too soon to prepare
estimates on such work and suggest that this be deferred
until midway through the .first season.
We shall be pleased to discuss the foregoing with you
at 7our conve.uience.

MEMORANDUM TO ROBERT MOSES
FROM ERWIN WITT
SUBJECT: cmLDREN'S ADMISSION CHARGES
AGENDA ITEM 10
The Board of Education and City officials have requested the Fair to
adrnit school children in groups at the rate of a child. A child is defined as
aqes two through twelve. Jf this suqgestton were adopted, we would have to give
the same rates to the secondary as well as schools, to all parochial
schools and to all school children in the wor1d, since this is a World's Fair
supported by many states and nations throughout the not to speak af many
adult groups which have asked for special consideration.
Such reduction would mean a loss in revenue to the Fair of over $9 million.
It would stimulate pressure for reduced rates by boy and girl scouts, disabled
veterans, charitable and religious organizations, unions and others whose previous
requests have been rejected. It would open doors to such an extent that our entire
financial structure would be jeopardized since the admission charges represent
about two-thirds of the Fair's revenue. This does not take into consideration the
.
difficulty and additional cost it would entail to administer the reduced prices for
children in groups. Pu.blic clamor would probably follow for reducing the rates for
these school children at all the concessions, rides, etc. arotmd the Fair whkh
would further cut into our revenue and also the revenue of the various concessionaires.
Jeopardizing our financial structure by a wholesale reduction in admission
charges would upset our financial plans for the pre-fair period. The decision to
borrow short term money from commercial banks was based on a projection :>E
revenues which depended on the price scale previously approved by the Executive
Committee. Whether the commercial banks would still loan the millions reqr1ired for
-2-
pre-fair expenses if this scale were changed is problematical. They would
certaJnly take the cha.nqe into consideration and would be concerned about the
possibility af demands for further chanqes in the price. scale.
You have proposed that the Executive Committee consider admitting all
cldldren on Mondays during the months of July and August, both seasons, at the
rate of It is estimated that this proposal would reduce our revenue by
approximately $1-1/2 million. The plan, were it confined to our approved ages for
children, could be handled with very little additional cost under a procedure re-
quiring" the cash purchase of a ticket at the gate. Our projection of income
shows that this reduction in income would reduce the amount of money returned to
the City at the end of the Fair.
Permitting a refund for children's tickets sold in advance at and
tickets sold in books of twenty at a value of each would create an impossible
situation at the gates. The advance sale and book sale children's tickets would be
valid on all other days of the Fair, and two children's tickets can be exchanqed for
one adult ticket.
Attached is pertinent information regarding conventional entrance charges
at movie theatres, amusement resorts, games and other entertainment involving
children, and also lists of free pavilions and exhibits at the Fair and all pavHions
where, by contract and aqreement, there will be added charges either at the gate
or inside.

October 10, 1963
On October 7, I met with Ed Lewin,
President of Elizabeth Iron Works and
was advised that on that date,
began fabrication of the structural
steel for the building, which is
scheduled for erection by the middle of
November. On this basis, the building
can be completed by April 1, 1964.
As of the date on this report, Cineranta
is very interested in spcnsoring a paid
admission show in the dome on the second
floor of the building. Billy Rose has
also shown some interest. Either one of
these projects would settle the finan
cial problems of the Transportation &
Travel Pavilion. I will report at the
Executive Committee Meeting any further
developments.
At the present time the building calls
for a completion schedule by June, 1964.
The contractor has submitted a proposal
to Mr. Peter Reidy outlining the
additional costs (approximately one
million dollars) necessary to advance
the completion date of the building to
April 22, 1964.
Attached herewith is a ccpy of a letter
from Under Secretary of Defense
Sylvester to you advising of their par-
ticipation in the official United
States Space Park adjacer..t to the Hall
of Science. Discussions are being held
with the various manufacturers of space
hardware in order to obtain funds to
support this project. io date, commit
menta have been received in the amount
of $200)000.

Dear Mr. Moses:
This is to confirm my telephone convereation with Mr. Tozzoli of
your .office r e g a r d i ~ g the Department of Defense's participation in
the forthcoming World
1
s Fair. Within the Department of De!en1e,
Secretary McNamara ha appointed me to represent bim on all
matters pertaining to Armed Forces participation in the Fair.
Aa I etated to Mr. Tozzoli, the White House had recently directed
both NASA and DoD to develop a joint space exhibit which would be
illustrative of the .United States overall national apace program.
Accordingly, it is to be an United Statee Space Exhibit rather than
an agency (DoD or NASA) dieplay. I am making available my repre-
sentative, Lt. Colonel Richard F. Hum, to confer with your ol!ice on
the Defense inter.este in space allocations, expenditure of funds,
manning requirements, etc. and ask that you please pass the word oh
to Mr. Tozzoli.
Aa the project progresses, I hope that l will have occasion to visit the
Fair Grounds and pouibly pay my respects to you and your key per-
sonnel. In the meantime, plea1e be auured that the Department of
Defense will place the highest priority on the development of a quality
exhibit to demon1trate thi Nation' space program as a contribution
to the great effort you and your people are making for an outstanding
World' Fair.
Sincerely,

MEMORANDUM TO EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE
FROM ROBERT MOSES
SUBJECT: HLH FUN AND FOOD, INC. EXHIBIT
ROBERT MOSES
PRESIOEIIT
You will recall that, under date of August 14, 1963, an agree-
ment was entered into between HLH Fun and Food, Inc. (one of
H. L. Hunt's corporations) and the Fair Corporation for a lease on
Block 9, Lot 15 at the Fair site. HLH paid the full rent of $1, 109, 122
in advance.
Subsequent thereto the Fair Corporation and HLH entered into
an agreement. with George Jenkins, a leading designer, employing hiDl
to assist in designing the Project. HLH employed Edward D. Stone,
who is, as you know, one of the foremost American architects, to
work with Mr. Jenkins on the design. HLH also arranged to get somE!
advice from George A. Fuller Construction Company. The Fair
Corporation made available the assistance of Gilmore Clarke on the
landscaping aspects.
Mr. Jenkins and Mr. Stone, with the assistance of Mr. Clarke
and the Fuller Company, developed what I and the staff deemed to be
thoroughly acceptable designs and models which provided for placing
the rides in an attractive and unusual setting, to produce a project of
high quality and dignity comparable to Tivoli in Copenhagen, fully
appropriate for the prime exhibit area where the site is located.
The site is on the pool of industry near such outstanding exhibits as
Equitable, IBM, Travelers, the Gas Association, Coca Cola, and
Dupont.
HLH, acting through Mr. Hunt personally, rejected a final
design and model which he had apparently agreed to.
194
DAYS TO OPENING DAY
-2-
In the course of the discussions relating to Mr. Hunt's
rejection of these designs it has become clear that the plan of HLH
is to present a complex of unembellished, uncovered rides similar to
the blatgnt, noisy and objectionable complexes which can be found at
countless county fairs and amusement parks.
The staff is in full agreement that this plan of HLH is wholly
alien to the spirit of all our negotiations prior and subsequent to the
signing of the agreement and in contravention of the terms of the agrne-
ment. We had thought that Mr. Hunt was striving for something in the
spirit of Tivoli. It has become apparent that this is not the case.
Mr. Hunt has rejected the opinion of all the advisors who are in
unanimous agreement that his plan will provide an undignified project
entirely out of keeping with the location of the plot at the heart of the
Industrial Area of the World's Fair and offensive to its neighbors.
We had interminable negotiations with Mr, Hunt in an effort
to see if any accommodation was possible. Both parties now agree
that it is not.
HLH is prepared to get out provided we give him the rent back.
HLH will waive all claims for damages growing out of its purchase of
various rides and a building in connection with the project. We in turn
will waive all claims against HLH.
A settlement on this basis is being negotiated and will be\
presented to you on Tuesday.
I strongly recommend that this settlement be approved. The
only other possibility is litigation in which there will inevitably be
charges and counter-charges of breach of contract, bad faith, etc.
The settlement will put both parties back in statu quo ante as nearly
as is possible and will terminate an unfortunate experience reasonably
amicably.
President

sus.JECT' Design and World's Fair Construction
Your approval is requested of the following report for presentation to the
Executive Committee.
'The Fpir site is now very crowded, with ever increasing numbers of
construction vehicles and parked cars. All extraneous activities are being moved
off of planting areas to allow for landscaping; and exhibitors are being required to
confine their activities to their own sites to allow curbs and pavement to be placed
adjacent to their buildings. As the roads are paved, additional parking space is
made available; but the progress of paving is not fast enough to compensate for the
areas beiilg landscaped. 'Ihe paving and associated utilities in turn have been held
up at times by uncontrolled parking. Most of its paving should be complete by
1 December. 'The arrangements to impound illegally parked cars should end this
difficulty.
Since the last Executive Committee meeting three contracts have be;n
awarded, respectively, for Item 2 pyrotechnics and on three comfort stations
and the Boy Scout Camp and on fencing. 'Ihe only remaining contracts of any
importance are for lighting the overpass, for signs (which is now being advertised),
for the Pan American Gardens and for the U. S. Space Park construction.
Screen planting around the Fair's periphery and utility builclings has
begun and many decorative evergreen plants have been installed. Installation of
the 1nore than 100,000 tulips which will enhance the beauty of the two primary
Fair promenades will begin in October. Additional floral plantings will take
place in the Spring. Difficulties have been er.,.countered in clearing exhibitors'
and World's Fair contractors out of open areas, but this matter is now being
cleared up.
A streamlined procedure for final inspection of completed lighting
bases under a Park Department contract and simultaneous takeover by a World's
Fair contractor for erection was worked out by courtesy of City authorities. Under
this system, Broadway Maintenance began erection of the street lighting poles
durinq September and is proceeding rapidly. In addition, the first of the colorfully
designed street lighting luminaires have been installed.
