Dear Paul:
PUBUC RELATIONS
Apri I 2, 1962
Several of my clients are involved in the Seattle World Fair and they
hove all told me that in their recent trips to Seattle, they were shocked by the
abuse of visitors by local residents in over-charging in restaurants, hotels and
even shops. As a matter of fact, it has become so bad that some of the residents
are wearing pins saying
11
1 was born in Seattle-- dont gouge me.
11
Knowing of your interest in the World Fair to be held in New York, (
bring this to your attention as it would ,:indeed be a crime if as a result of this great I
Fair which we are preparing in New York, there should be adverse publicity against
the City and its residents. Consideration might be given to some special committee
being formed to do as much as possible to prevent this kind of black eye, which
negates so much of the wonderful things one hopes to accomplish through a World
Fair.
Although it may be a small item, you and I both know that a piece of grit
in ones eye is annoying even if one is watching the most beautiful opera.
I have not heard from your f'.Ar. Kay on either of the two projects we
discussed lost month.
With kind personal regards, I remain

Jo Copeland, noted New York dress designer, whose name, drawn
out of a hat filled with thirty-five famous fashion labels won her the
honor of creating the costumes for the three New York 1964-1965 World's
Fair hostesses at the Seattle Century 21 today (Tuesday)
gave Robert Moses a private preview of the finished wardrobes before
they were shipped to Seattle for their debut April 21st.
Model Lou Bee Brooks displayed the three dresses with matching
jackets and the raincoat which will make the three New York hostesses
perfect representatives of both the coming New York World's Fair and
New York as a world fashion capital.
The color scheme of all the clothes is that adopted officially
by the New York 't-lorld
1
s Fair: deep sea blue and vivid sun orange,
official colors of the City of New York, All three jacket-dresses are
the same in design and color (blue}, but in three different fabrics
to accommodate to changes in temperature durine their five months of
service. For moderate days, Miss Copeland chose blue the
elegant and high fashion silk-and-\'lOl,oted material. For hot weather,

the dress is in the same blue Fibrin, a new \'laffle-weave material
which looks like natural cotton but is utterly cool and crease-
resistant . For cool days, the designer selected thin wool jersey in
the New York World's Fair blue. All three dresses are detailed in
orange silk linen and there is an orange sillr linen scarf-stole to
be worn with all the dresses.
The dress itself is a two-piece tuck-in with a gently shaped,
sleeveless bodice on which are vertical bracket-shaped appliques at
the bosom, The skirt is moderately flared in a firm silhouette, with
a deep unpressed pleat at front and back and bracket-detailed pockets
hidden in the side seams at the hipline. The sl<"irt has a curved
tailored belt of the blue fabric with a front section of the orange
silk linen and a narrow curving gilt buckle.
Over each dress goes a handsome little waistlength, collarless
jacket with its front cut in a double curve to form a bracket-line.
At the point of this line is set a single big carved gilt button. The
jacket is lined in the orange silk linen.
The raincoat, executed by the New York raincoat experts,
Lawrence of London, is made of the orange silk linen in a water-
repellent finish. The coat is simple, easy and strictly tailored, with
a small turned-back stitched silk linen rain hat.
Because they will be indoors as official hostesses in the
New York World's Fair headquarters at the Seattle Exposition, the girls
will not wear hats or gloves when on duty, Miss Copeland said, They
will carry good-looking amber bro\'ln leather pouch handbags designed by
Koret. The bag fastens with a gilt button and with gilt chain-and-
leather straps. The hostesses will wear plain brown leather pumps by
I. Miller. Their jewelry will be a triple strand of carved gilt beads
by Napier.

The largest and most modern Marina and boating center on the
east coast of the United States is assured as a major attraction of
the New York 1964-1965 ~ l o r l d
1
s Fair according to a Memorandum or
Understanding scheduled to be signed today (vlednesday) at the Flushing
Bay site or the installation by Robert Moses, Fair president, and
executives of Marinas of the Future, Inc. Mr. Moses pointed out that
the waterfront facilities will remain after the Fair as permanent im-
provements for public enjoyment.
Founders of Marinas of the Future, Inc., which will construct
and operate the boating center at the Flushing Meadow Park site of
the New York international exposition, are James B. Briggs of Erwin,
Wasey, Ruthrauf & Ryan and Vlilliam c. Crane, Jr., of G. L. Ohrstrom
& Co.

Plans for the Marina \'Jere developed in cooperation with
O't'tens-Corning Fiberglas Corporation which will take an active part in
the enterprise. Constructed of colorful Fiberglas reinforced plastics,
the Marina elements will retain their beauty indefinitely. Mainten-
ance will be at a minimum and many new innovations will be introduced.
Mayor Robert F. Wagner and the Board of Estimate endorsed the
waterfront project in principle on April 5, 1962 and authorized final
negotiations. Newbold ~ 1 o r r i s , Commissioner of Parks, was expected to
attend the ceremony today marking the signinG of the Memorandum of
Understanding, which is the forerunner of a three-party contract among
r1arinas of the Future' Inc.' the New York vlorld Is Fair 1964-1965
Corporation and the New York City Department of Parks. The contract
will be reviewed by the Board of Estimate before final approval.
The present Flushing Boat Basin will be incorporated in the
ne\'l Marina. A fixed pier, similar to the existing pier, will be con-
structed to the east\'mrd, and a series of interconnected floating
docks and centers will be installed to the \'lest ward. The initial
capacity will be for 825 boats. Enlargement to 2,000 boats will be
provided for in the planning.
Dredging and breakwater construction in Flushing Bay is being
planned by the Federal Government. The Corps of Engineers, which held
a public hearing on the improvement of the Bay on November 15, 1961,
has completed its studies and its report should soon reach the Congress
for approval. A 300-foot wide channel in the Bay, an enlarged anchorage
area of 84 acres, a break\'later, and deepening to 15 feet were requested.
These improvements, vital to commercial traffic and to the new Marina,
should have swift authorization by Congress.

At least seventy million people are expected at the World
1
s
Fair in 1964 and 1965. The principal highways and parkways leading
to the Flushing MeadO\'T Park site of' the Fair are being widened and
improved to handle the millions of' cars enroute to the Fair and f'or
subsequent Long Island travel. Improved and new methods of' water
transportation now in the initial stages, such as air-cushion and
hydrofoil boats, are expected to be ready for introduction at the
Fair. These will mal{e travel by boat from distant points feasible
and comfortable. Boat O\'mers and yachtsmen will have ample facilities
at the new Marina for a day's or week's visit to the Fair.
This whole program has been coordinated with the plan of the
Port or New York Authority f'or expansion of La Guardia Field to
accommodate more extensive operations.

INTRODUCTION
This preliminary design report pertains to the coordinated
Museum's Exhibit in conjunction with the model exhibit now
under construction, constituting the New York City Exhibit
at the World's Fair 1964-65
The Museum Exhibit will be located on the balcony of the
existing New York City Building at Flushing Meadow. The
model will be on the main floor.
I
J
II.
SCOPE OF EXHIBIT
The model exhibit, now under construction, will be a three
dimensional map of the City of New York. It will be housed,
on the main floor, in one half of the present New York City
Building at Flushing Meadow.
Visitors to the exhibit will be conveyed in suspended cars
around the 500' perimeter of the City Model. The car will
simulate a low flying helicopter trip around New York City.
As the car passes by points of interest, a synchronized
explanatory recording will point out the various city details.
Toward the end of the ride, cars will rise up to the existing
balcony level, where visitors will disembark from the car.
The visitor can walk around the balcony to see the whole
map and study specific points of interest. It is on this
spacious balcony that the coordinated Museum Exhibit will
be held.
Around the perimeter of the balcony will be located individual
Museum display areas. Each area will be assigned to a
specific Museum.
The Museum will exhibit its works -- paintings, sculpture,
dioramas, artifacts, etc. , that are pertinent to the City of
New York. Each item having a point of relation to the City,
for example, a painting might be of an area of New York or
by a New York artist.
All museum material exhibited will be related to the total
display in the context of
11
time
11
, 1664 to 1964, 300 years
of City Government, Science and Art of New York.

MEMORANDUM TO COMMISSIONER MOSES
FROM ARTHUR S, HODGKISS
Attached is the latest report on progress of arterial highway construc-
tion 1n the vicinity of the World's Fair.
Of the 17 contracts, 2 have been completed, 7 are on time and 8 are
behind schedule.
Of those behind schedule, Contract No, 2- Merritt-Mt. Vernon, Contract
No. 8- Grow-Catapano-Orlando, Contract No. 11- Johnson, Drake & Piper, and
Contract No. 15- Ottaviano, present the most serious problem. The others un-
questionably can be completed on time unless the contractors deliberately drag
their feet.
We believe that Contracts 8 and 11 will be opened to traffic although there
may be some cleanup work to be completed after the Fair opens.
Contracts No. 2 (Merritt-Mt. Vernon) and 15 (Ottaviano) are the ones
which require substantial improvement if they are to be opened on time.

MEMORANDUM TO ARTHUR S, HODGKISS
FROM JOHN T. O'NEILL
Re: Progress Report on Arterial Highway Construction
in the Vicinity of the World's Fair
Cold and inclement weather continue to retard progress on all
contracts.
Contract No. 2 (Merritt-Mt. Vernon) suffered an additional serious
set-back in progress. The Long Island Expressway traffic cannot be
shifted to the collector-distributor roads over the Grand Central Parkway
until probably around April 1, 1963. This delay results from failure to
complete the approach fills and temporary paving on the collector-
distributor roads before freezing weather precluded such work. Unless
demolition of the existing structure and construction of the new main line
structure over the Grand Central Parkway can be materially expedited
and all other phases of the work brought up to schedule this contract will
not be completed in time for the opening of the Fair. The contractor has
been directed by the State to submit a revised construction schedule.
Contract No. 15 (Ottaviano) is underway again, however the current
work schedule appears to point to May 1, 1963 as the earliest possible
completion date for the new Flushing River Bridge. Close coordination
of the work by the contractor and e:Jo:.pedients for reducing the curing time
for concrete will accelerate the opening of the structure to traffic.
Contract No. 6 (DeLillo) - Completed pouring several panels of
pavement under extreme adverse weather conditions. This will permit
construction of the westbound roadway of the Grand Central Parkway to
be accelerated.

Dear Newbold:

ROBERT MOSES
"IIIEaiDI:NT
As you know, Kissena Corridor Park to the northeast of Lawrence
Street and extending to Main Street was leased to the Fair Corporation by
the City in 1960 as part of the Fair site. Under the proposed agreement
with tile Queens Botanical Garden Society, however, the major part of this
area will be turned over to the Society and maintained by it, and the City of
New York will provide funds for such maintenance.
During the past months, Kissena Corridor Park has been landscaped
with grass and trees and fenced in accordance with plans approved by your
Department. 'Th.is work is now virtually complete, and the area is in the
condition which we expect will continue throughout and after the Fair.
We believe it appropriate at this time that the Park Department
take over the maintenance of this area of Kissena Corridor Park northeast
of Lawrence Street and extending to Main Street. 'Th.is would, in our opinion,
facilitate the orderly implementation of plans for post-Fair use and maintenance
of tllis section of the Park. Moreover, because the Queens Botanical Garden
Society, with the assistance of the City, will be maintaining the major portion
of the area, it is our view that the area logically should be regarded as a single
entity for purposes of maintenance with only one organization having juris-
diction over such maintenance.
We believe that the appropriate time for the Department of Parks
to commence maintenance functions in this area would be on March 15th of
this year. Would you kindly inform us as to whether the Department of Parks
is willing to perform the abovementioned maintenance.

The agreement between Lincoln Center and the New York
City Ballet is about to be signed. The Ballet will probably
open the State Theater. NBC is negotiating for an opening
night TV show.
The schedule for Philharmonic Hall is also attached.
I understand that Lincoln Center management has not yet
decided on rental rates for the State Theater.
B. Promoting the Fair at Lincoln Center
1. A World's Fair ticket booth in the New York
State Theater is under consideration. I assume
we would want this.
2. A $2, 000 sign has been erected on Broadway at
the New York State Theater promoting the Fair
and Lincoln Center.
3. Fair advertising now appears on the Lincoln Center
postage meter.
4. I have suggested a World's Fair flag be flown on the
Lincoln Center plaza.
The Director of Publicity for Lincoln Center, Jack McNulty,

MEMORANDUM TO GENERAL W. E. POTTER
FROM ROBERT MOSES
Have noted letter from Mr. Connell. Application to
Office of Saline Water in the Dept. of Interior futile. Would be
just another Washington Merry Go Round.
What remains is the possibility of a Hall of Science
working model sponsored by a manufacturer. I gather there are
broadly speaking three processes -- the vacuum steam method
Bob Blum and I inspected yesterday which serves half of Nassau
and was installed by a Scotch Company (Weir), electrolysis used
by the Ionic Company in several parts of the world and freezing
attempted in Israel. The first produces water almost too good for
drinking. The second produces brac:d si1 water and works on major
reclamation, and the third so far is a failure.
Why not ask the Ionic people for a small scale worldng
model? Guy Tozzoli can look them up.

Department of the Interior, 25, o.c. The director Is
F. Hac Gowan. .
There lc; an t1pproprle,tJon made by Congress to set up so-called
desalting plants in various perts of the country, They have built one in
California; I understand there Is one In New Jersey; and one to be built
on the west coast of Florida. The Intent of installations Is to
develop new methods and all plants arc different. One, for Instance, uses
refrigeration; one a vacUIJm effect steam systern; one an syHc:r.
with diaphragms; and one with a plastic: absorber. There may be other v:Jys
wl th which I am not fcnlllar.
It If, pouible the Govf!l'nment m.ty in L;ai :niev"est cf t!ds

Arthur Godfrey Time
DATE
April 12, 1963 10:10 A.M. CITY New York,
Godfrey's guest was New York Traffic Commissioner Henry
Barnes. At this point Commissioner Barnes discussed the need for
a new traffic signal system in New York.
BARNES: "It's going to cost money. I've predicted that a
system will cost about a hundred million dollars. Now that's an
awful lot of money, and yet when you stop and consider the
Bridge cost $326, 000, 000, there's a hundred millio:1 dollars worth
of highways right around the world's fair. Sure we need those
highways, but here's a system on 6000 miles of streets that will
benefit everybody in the city of New York. So a hundred million
spread over 6000 miles of streets isn't so much money when you
consider that perhaps you can triple the traific and reduce the
driving time to one-third what it is today."

NIW 't'O .. K 70 NI:W YORK
A commercial "ghost town" in the North Bronx, a decrease in city revenues, an
increase in welfare costs and irreparable political damage to the City's hopes for state
aid will form but a part of the picture if the City's retail business frontier, that portion.
of The Bronx which lies north of Gtm Hill Road and south or the Westchester border, ts
not established as a zone with a lower retail sales tax rate than that which might
prevail in the rest of the City.
As you are aware the previous sales tax increase to the present three per cent
has not appreciably yielded any correspooding revenue increase from stores along the
Bronx-Westchester border. This simply means that these frontier merchants are
suffering a reduction in sales volwne and are maintaining the three per cent revenue
level by reaching into their own pockets. Any increase in rate would invite disaster in
the North Broox.
Although the population of the portion of The Bronx north of Gun Hill Road bas
tripled in the past fifteen years. effecting considerable strain on the static transit and
police services in the area, local merchants have reaped no real advantage from this
development. Local stq>ly find it too coovenient to hop into their cars, board
a bus or even walk the few blocks to the spaeious parking lots of Westchester shopping
facilities and escape the burden of the sales tax.
to be felt by these merchaatH hab toeen lat't total neglect during the hours of
12 and 8:00 1. m., wh:d. Y''' :-c;:';, :"'' :;- "''J:-''ly wrease r;f burglarlefl aiong
White PlainB Road, and the appropriation of vital curb space by Westchester commute1s
who use our transit fecillties, often tc the exclnsioo of proepect1ve, local shoppers.
-2-
To compound the foregoing disadvantages of our merchants with the JDdiacrtual ;;
tmpoaitim of a uniform, city-wide sales tax, even at the @Bent three per cent .' .
patently unreasonable and unjust.
To increase the tax on purchases from these merchants is to invite disaster. *yjDg ; ..
so long attempted to absorb the adverse effects of the present tax rate, too many of these
industrious merchants wUl be forced, by an increase, to arrive at the simple, common
sense decision to close up. Their empty stores will transform a pleasant community
(Which you may remember from your experience as Hmorary Grand Marshal in last
year's opening day parade of the Wakefield-Woodlawn Baseball League) into a .depresHd
area or, perhaps, a slum.
. '
.,
The unique nature of this area bas recenUy persuaded the State Insurance
to establish it as an automobile liability rating area, separate from the remainder of The
Broo.x. We lubmit that the peculiar experience and presenUy precarioua predicament of
this area as the city's retail business frootier demands, in the name of simple justice,
that special consideration be accorded it in any deliberation relative to the imposition or
increase of the sales tax.
Justice requires that the present levy be lowered in this area. Only crass indiffer-
ence could elltertain the tax increase for these merchants.
Let us not forget that such indifference can be costly in oui- respects, three of which
commend themselves to ::s at this critical moment. First of all, closed stores meana actual
reductim tn tax revenue. Secondly, the merchant who finds himself forced to close his doors
may wind up on our relief rolls. Last, but farthest from least, is the very real, political
effect on the future of state aid to the City's ailing treasury.
I am sure I need not remind you that your former opponent for the office of President
of the City Council, Republican Paul A. Fino, represents this marginal district in Congress.
However, the same constituency is represented in the state Legislature by four Democrats
(State Sen. Joseph A. Marine, Assemblywoman Aileen Ryan, Assemblyman Fred W. Egert,
and Assemblyman Ferdinand Mondello). These four legislators have worked bard to win
and hold their seats in a politically uncommitted area. The imposition of the tax will play
right into the bands of tbe Legislature's majority, which hu heretofore denied the City
adequate financ&l assistance, by endangerbtg the Democratic Party's chances of holding
theae seats, which are now filled by those who favor increasing the City's share of state
aid. Their defeat would destroy the aspirations of your admin1stration and perhaps the
state aid hopes of the City's taxpayers .
As President of the Wakefield Taxpayers and Civic League, Inc., I will attempt to
present the abmre at the public hearing on Thursday. I have also been asked by the Woodlawn
Heights Taxpayers and Community Association and the Williamsbridge Taxpayers and Civic
Association to speak on their behalf. I would he grateful for any opportunity to discuss this
matter wtth you at your ccmvenience.
Sincerely,
JAMBS J. FARREl,L

MEMORANDUM TO GUY TOZZOLI
FROM ROBERT MOSES
As to the Chrysler exhibit, spread loosely over
six acres, I thought it was ingenious, unusual and in part _
incomprehensible. To be sure the trade lingo of these off
Madison Avenue is hard for an outsider to grasp.
I should think there would be a lot of operating confusion,
that the very young and middle aged would find it puzzling
anc that only the brior.c high school and college kids and the
mechanically mindE : would get what it is all about. The
lads who presented it seem rather bored and terribly sure
of themselves. They have some quaint idea..s,such as huge
water panels which are on fast tanks, walking under a big
car, whirling gadgetry, reciprocal movement, etc. I
guess it will work out, and it. certainly will amuse and
intrigue the small folks,

FAIR QUOTE OF THE MONTH
"W'e tel/the world our Fair story in cur-
rent printed reports and by filnu, radio
and television. We have called upon those
who operate all the newest and most in
genious avenues of communication to help
us, and they have responded generously
and magnificently with every quail1t device
of the Age of lnvmtion.
"Without you, the abstract and brief
chroniclers of our time, the task of mu:h
ing millions of potential visitors 11ear and
far would be unthinkable. Y 011 carry the
myriad voices of the Fair tbroughoul tbe
metropolis, to the hinterland and to the
four corners of the shrinking globe. When
you go out of business eve11 temporarily,
enterprises of great pith and moment lose
the name of action . .. "Fair President Rob
en Moses, speaking at the Annual Dinner
of the Radio-Newsreel-Television Work
ing Press Association, one year to the Fair's
opening, April 22, 1963.
PRESS BUILDING
(continued from page 1, col. 1)
The Press Building will insure complete
freedom of movement without interfering
with private and semi-private work areas.
It has been so designed that it can cope
even with sudden rushes of reporters for
special events and absorb the expeaed
steady stream of visitors and dignitaries -
all without confusion and without causing
difficulties for the 50 to 75 newsmen ex
peered to be assigned to the Fair on a regu
lar basis. -
NEWS AND PRESS CONFERENCE ROOMS
The center of press aaivity within the
building will be a 2,000 sq. ft. news room
with desk accommodations for the regular
reporters and those on special assignments
or features. Also in this room will be ac
commodations and facilities for visiting
press on temporary duty at the Fair.
Adjoining the news room will be an
interview room with a rwo-story ceiling,
raised platforms for speakers and a tiered
arrangement in the rear, so that television,
newsreel and still cameramen can work
without interfering with each other or with
reporters.
These rooms for working press, inter
views and the lounge can be merged into
a giant 4,500 sq. ft. area by sliding sound
proof walls into recesses. Conversely, the
three individual areas are acoustically
treated enabling them to be used for vari
ous purposes without noise interference.
PHOTOGRAPHIC SERVICES
The photographic section of the Press
Building will be across from the news or
press room. Seven small rooms will be
available for changing film and a dark
room will be installed for developing and
processing. The area will be set aside for
United Press International, Associated
Press and other photographers. The com
mercia! division of UP!, awarded the con
tract as official Fair photographers, will
work with the staff of the William J.
Donoghue Corporation, consultants to the
Fair for publicity and press relations.
Darkroom facilities provide on-the-spot photo
service for news cameramen.

War II, where he served as war corres
pondent with the Merchant Marine in the

TLEVISIONRADIO INTERVIEWS
Television and radio networks covering
che Fair will have a 1,320 sq. ft. area in the
Press Building with an interview room,
control booths and offices. On the Fair
grounds, they plan at least 26 origination
points, where live telecasts can be pre-
sented through color mobile units. The
number of origination points is likely to
be increased by exhibitors desiring to par-
ticipate in telecasts. The TV-Radio Indus-
try Committee to the World's Fair worked
out the coverage plans with Fair officials
during a two-year study.
Included in the Press Building will be
the telephone information service with 40
operators under the direction of Grey-
hound Corporation, a fully equipped proc-
essing room for releases, a mail room for
quick handling of press correspondence
and a VIP guide service for news execu-
tives and other press contacts.

construction of the Press Building after
competitive bidding among more than 1 5
contractors. e

BERNS DEFINES DUTIES OF
FAIR'S COMMUNICATION TEAM
Highlighting the functions of the Fair's
Communications and Public Relations
team at the recent meeting of the Board
of Directors, William Berns said:
"Since we are working for a master
builder, who is more interested in public
service than he is in public relations, we've
geared our program accordingly. As a mat-
ter of fact, the same team which started out
three years ago is now sharpened up, work-
ing together; and this is the way it stacks
up.
"Our 'architects and designers' have
been the Deegan Company in public rela-
tions, and continue to do that job. The
'engineers and construction crew' of the
public relations program are representa
tives of thf Bill Donoghue Company in
our working Press Building. The public
relations tools are produced under the di-
rection of the J. Walter Thompson Com-
pany, who also handle our advertising,
specifically abroad, where we have needed
it. The printed brochures are designed by
Dick Guthridge and our films are produced
Deegan Office Conference
by Jack Campbell.
"We know that all of our public rela-
tions program is in the public interest. Cir-
cus superlatives are unnecessary. You see
visual evidence today and you hear the
sounds of the Fair beginning to take shape.
Working with the cooperation of the Press,
we'll be ready to receive the public when
we open the gates and the count-down hits
zero." e
Bill Donoghue, Fair consultant for publicity
and press relations, handling late news from
his new office in the fair's Press Building.
