The Unisphere• symbol, as well as maps and the other graphic matenals of the Fair have been specially designed for and are the property of the Fair Corporat1on. Accordingly, any reproductiOn of the Fa1r symbol, map or any other graphic matenal will be perm1tted only after written permiSsion of the Fair Corporat1on has been ob tained. In order to obta1n such permiSSIOn, request should be made to:

Two weeks should be allowed for the process1ng of all re quests for perm1ssion to use Fa1r Corpora· lion matenal.
THE UNISPHERE' SYMBOL
The theme of the New York World's Fa1r 1964-1965 IS "Peace Through Understanding." It is symbolized by the Un1sphere'. a stainless steel scale model of the world, 140 feet h1gh, surrounded by a 310-foot reflectmg pool. Land masses are supported by an open gnd framework of lat1tudes and longitudes. Three ori.Jit nngs suspended from the structure by virtually lllVISible sta1nless steel w1res pay tr1bute to man's prob1ng of outer space. The Un1sphere", presented to the New York World's F a1r 1964-1965 CorporatiOn by the Un1ted States Steel Corporation, wll I become a permanent feature of Flush1ng Meadow Park after the Fa1r.

The credit line "Unisphere® presented by ~United States Steel" must always be
used in immediate juxtaposition to the symbol except in special cases specifically approved in writing by the Fair Corporation. The type is "Standard Bold Condensed." The "presented by" must not be more than half the height of "United States Steel," e.g., 12 point as against 24 point (or other appropriate sizes) except when the Uni· sphere® symbol is reproduced so small that "presented by" becomes illegible. The relationship in size between the @I and "United States Steel" must always be the same.

Sights wi II transport patrons physically and emotionally
By ALLAN KELLER
IF EVERYONE in the country knew what was being planned
for the World's Fair next year the roads and airlines and trains would burst their seams trying to handle the crowds.
Tljis sounds like publicity put out at Fair headquarters, but it Isn't. It is nothing more than the amazement engendered by just looking at exhibits under con· struction and talking to planners.
A man will be hard to please if he doesn't find a dozen places, buildings or exhibits to marvel at. As a matter of fact the biggest worry today isn't a lack of visi· tors, but a growing fear that the Fair will have a physical effect more serious than the last Fair's blistered feet. This time it may well be stenographer's spread be· cause there will be so many rides, moving ehair arrangements and PVPn auditoriums tha~ move patrons from theater to theatPr without making them get out of th€'ir srats.
Peace Theme Ali hough the Fa1r ts hu!lt ahout
the thrme of peace through un· rlerstanding, it may well turn out to be the advance showing o! man's trend away from walking. There are plans, it seems, for ridPs everywhere.
Argus Camera Co w1ll havP 10 nf!Ps for cam!'ra enthustasts. The Bell Sy,t~m will transport "isi· tors through J(; thPaters on mov· 1ng chatrs ~o they mav watl·h ~~t'l1P' rrodurrrl hi' .Jo ~leiJt.inN.
depending on how well off they are.
For the average visitor there will be the familiar tractor-trains. All that is not known about these multl-jointed vehicles Is whether the horns will blare the same notes they did a quarter of a cen· tury ago. For those with fatter purses, there will be a vehicle called the "glide-a-ride" and for the poshest ride of all through the miles of promenades and streets there will be the four man "escorter," built something like a boardwalk carriage with the rlriver·gUide ensconced in a seat high at the back.
Thrill-seekers ean ride hundreds of fept about the main area of the Fair on the Swiss sky ride and morP srclate passengers can ncle around the amusement sec· tion on a n1onorail.
Fair vi~1tors who tirP of riding places thrm~elves f'an watch the ''hell-driver~" who Will put on ex· hibitions of prPcision driving, multiple roll·oVPrs, and a 50-foot !Pap in a rar from one ramp to another.

Thrill-seekers can ride hundreds of feet about the main area of the Fair on the Swiss sky ride and more sE>date passengers can ride around the amusement sec· tion on a monorail.
Fair visitors who tire of riding places themselves can watch the "hell·drivers" who will put on ex· hibitlons of precision driving, multiple roll-overs, and a 50-foot leap In a car from one ramp to another.

The Bell System's "floating" building looks like a giant flying saucer.
places to meet the more ordinary tastes, but there will be many variations on the theme of food intake as well. Spain will have three restaurant-; of varying price ranges and Japan will have two. In the more expensive of the !at· ter, gE>isha girls will cook your meal for you while musicians play softly in the background.
Vet .. 'ZU'!ta's pavillon will offer roasted hedgehog among other rare items, and the Frontier Pal· ace wlll serve Texas beef in all the sensible ways known to Tex· ans.
Perhaps the most extravagant plans center on the Five Volcanos Restaurants, to be backed by Ha· wail. In addition to regular meals served every day Inside, there
hours and will tnclude young pig roasted on hot bricks as It was when the first missionary landed on Oahu.
At the American Indian Vl!lage where braves will pass the day in archery contE>sls and tomahawk tossing tests, the squaws will be busy smoking salmon as It is done in the tepees of the Pacific Northwest. A Jot of New Yorkers will undoubtedly visit this spot if only to find out how squaw· smoKed·salmon differs from lox.
No Belly Dancers Robert Moses has declared that
In an era when the barest of hi· klnls expose the American female figure In all Its fulsome charm
Eighth Ave. Only time will teD whether attractions like the wax museum will equal the pu!Hnr power of Little Egypt or Sally Rand.
People who stroll through the Leibmann Brewery's Little Old New York, with its cobblestone streets, or dine In Schaefer's re• taurant of tomorrow, or watch the first public demonstration of nuclear fission may be In no mood for anything as ordinary as a girlie show.
Where but at the Fair can one see a kitchen of glass with "popup•• fixtures, match wits with an electronic computer, watch how a color TV show Is put or gaze at a shaft of
Carol Haney murlic arranged by Mor·
ton Gould. The seats will be equipped with audio devices.
Rides at the General Motors, Ford ·and Chrysler exhibits a1·e ' still clothed in secrecy. Agents and counter-espionage agents for the motor firms are as plentiful as spies at Army maneuvers. But It is known that they will dwarf the Futurama ride that made GM a big attraction in 193940.

There will be a theater \\ hf're tHe audience is lifted from ground to amphitheater. Kodak will use its outer walls for five
bridges, a dozen interpretations of the arch and other techniques have already created structures of incredible interest and beauty. The Arabic turret on the Sudan· ese pavilion, the gem·like tracery of the Hong Kong building, thP ehalets of the Swiss exhibit and the adobe style used in the New Mexico State building, on the other hand, reveal the lasting charm of architectural styles that were old eenturies ago.
Monorail Planned Taking a leaf from the Seat·

To. the uninitiated, the move· ment of trucks, machines and thousands of men ~eems to indl· cate confusion. But to planners, architects and construction men the challenge of finishing on time Is being met without pres· ent worry.

Daring Architecture Even to the layman's eye, de·
spite dusty roa:ds, piles of con· structlon material, scaffolding and the like, the daring of archl· tectural concepts Is clearly apparent. Structures to house Gen· eral Motors and Ford exhibits are .already closed against the weather.
The Bell System's "floating" building, looking like a giant fly· lng saucer supported on four small points of steel, the Kodak display wlth its roof patterned after the surface of the moon, and the bellpo•·t with its sky· high restaurant, all have taken .final shape.
The Unlspbere, a vast globe of lacy steel, which Is Uulted States Steel's contribution as the symbol of the fair, stands majes· tlcally above the tiny ligures in overalls who are building a "world of tomorrow."
As with any large project, there are a few negative entries in the ledger. Great Britain and Soviet Russia wiU not be represented. France, which planned a fine pavlllon, bas run into trou· ble at home and may have little more than token representation. The Islamic religious building will not be erected.

ADMIHI$1'RATION A. 1reat filr starts with a great Ideal,
to ptestnt to the world an exposition of .man's achievements in an expandlnl universe and on a shrinking IIObe. Its basic . purpose Is to bring together the peoples of the world to assure "peace throulh understanding."
.To make this Ideal a reality requires organization, financing, selling and con· stn.tctlon abilities.
The basic framework of the 1939·1940 World's Fair set the design of the new Fair. The "Preparation of the Site" re· port of mld-1960 set the format for the hard tasks ahead.
The first Progress Report discussed the site and plan; regulations and codes; the various exhibit areas: and the rela· tion of the Fair to Its surroundings and to th& City of New York. Succeeding re· ports have shown the basic ideas grow· lng into concrete, wood and steel.
The executives have sold space in the International, Industrial, Transportation, Federal and States and Lake Amusement Areas. The comptroller has faced the problems of finance. The vice president for Communications has told the story of the Fair throughout the world.
As Builders of the Fair, the Chief En· gineer's Office had the Intricate job of construction and coordination of over 50 separate projects from police stations to parking fields, from lighting to water sup· ply. Every Item was closely Investigated to see how It could be related to the res· toratlon of Flushing Meadow Park as the Central Park of Queens after 1965.
The Engineer's Office now is process· lng exhibitors' plans, with the many de· tails of utility connections and approval of plans as It continues construction toward a finished setting for over 200 exhibits.
Meanwhile, the vice president for Op· sports, cultural activities and the host erations has a staff working on security, of day-to·day activities of the Fair after maintenance, concessions, special events, It opens.
Tickets are now on sale at 321j2% discount. Come to the Fairl DESIGNERS
The Corporation has supplied a frame· work for the Fair ... the exhibit design· ers are supplying, above all else, variety - from a Thai temple to a floating steel and concrete slab. Structures are being conceived as architecture, as stage sets and as corporate symbols.
The architect today has readily avail· able material only hinted at In the Fair of 1939·1940. He has new methods of construction at his command. He has clients from all over the world, each in· tent upon telling his story In a dramatic way, not buried in an overall pattern of architectural monotony.
Plan file room at Administration Building.
The architects and designers study the problems and prepare plans, renderings and models for presentation to clients. They ask and need the help of daring en· gineering, down·to·earth mechanical de· tailing and the planning of landscape architects. Their ideas eventually become working drawings, a sheet of glass shown as two thin lines on a blueprint.
Always in mind is the estimated cost of construction, in order to make as much structure as possible relatively maintenance-free for two years. They must meet the Fair codes for safety and health. They must also always remember that the deathless works of art will go into a scrap heap after 1965. With luck they may go into the photographic rec· ords of the architectural historians of the future.
With drawings completed and con· tracts let, the designer's final task is day· by-day inspection of construction. CONTRACTORS
Many of the organizations that have been directing New York's multibillion dollar building boom of recent years are at work at the Fair.
The contractor's job is complicated. He analyzes the plans, prepares bills-of· materials and coordinates deliveries. He stakes out the site, prepares foundations and sees to the proper erection of the superstructure, which may have a com· plicated free·form roof or a simple can· vas cover.
The contractor supplies the major equipment required by the building trades. More powerful bulldozers, cranes and machinery along with specialized tools have increased efficiency of con· struction.
From the architect's plans the contractor prepares a schedule for the building trades required at each stage of construe· tion. The estimates are discussed with the local labor representatives at the Fair site and plans are made to assure com· pletion on time.
construction tradesmen are racing against time to assure that the Fair and the ap· preaches will open on April 22, 1964. They play the final part in the long task of creating reality from an idea. The finished product, clean and polished, is labor's contribution to a great Fair. Un· noticed, but of equal importance, is the work on buried utilities and foundations, the hidden structural frames and me· chanica! equipment that make an exhibit possible.
More than 200 exhibits, buildings and other structures are under way at the Fair. It is an outstanding tribute to the building trades unions that no labor dis· agreement has adversely affected prog· ress toward the opening day goal. The pledge of labor peace has been kept. By June 30, 1963, when collective bargain· ing agreements of fifteen of the construe· tion trades were due to expire, most contracts had been successfully renegoti· ated. The other trades continued work without interruption until contracts were signed.
Early in the Fair history, the Building and Construction Industry, both management and labor, established machinery to which all disputes, actual or potential, could be referred. Peter J. Brennan, pres· ident of the Building and Construction Trades Council; Peter W. Eller and Walter M. Colleran, chairman and secretary re· spectively, of the Building and Construe· tion Industry Advisory Committee, and leaders from each union have cooperated to make it function effectively.
During July 1963, 6,665 men worked at the Fair site and 2,332 worked on re· lated arterial improvements-a total of 8,997. Since the start of the Fair com· plex and as of July 31, 1963, man hours of work totalled 12,936,660 with a total payroll of over $65,000,000.
With a little over six months to go, there is every indication that labor rela· tions, with one of the greatest armies of workers ever assembled in a square mile site, will continue to be excellent and that labor's previous record of outstanding performance will be more than equalled.
More than 30,000 will be employed by the exhibitors and concessionaires at the Fair in maintenance, service and en· tertainment. The same care and fore· thought is being given to the problems of this even greater army. Means are being set up for ready adjustments of disputes. Results will, no doubt, come up to the record made during the construction period.
Administration, designers, contractors and labor together have produced an out· standing example of cooperative effort.
Board of Directors Meeting at William A. Shea Stadium.
The administration of the New York World's Fair is very pleased to welcome the Board of Directors and friends to this meeting at the William A. Shea Stadium on September 26, 1963.
It is appropriate that this future home of sports, so near to the greatest fair of history, should be our meeting place. Side by side, the two projects went through years of planning; the Stadium even longer than the Fair.
Flushing Meadow Park, conceived and created through long range vision, was the home of the Fair of 1939-1940, and will be the ultimate Central Park of Queens. At the geographic and population center of the City, the park is the natural site of a great municipal stadium, the home of the baseball Mets, the foot· ball Jets and of many outdoor spectacular productions.
During the two Fair years the Stadium will be the scene of special Fair presenta· tions.
Shea Stadium, being built by the City Department of Parks, will have a seating capacity for 55,000 and can be ex· panded in the future to 80.000 without disturbance to the present structure. A movable roof for all-weather use can be added. Parking areas for over 5,000 cars surround the Stadium. Immediately ad· jacent are the IRT subway and Long Is· land Ratl Road.
The New York World's Fair takes this occasion to wish its neighbor a long and happy career.

The progress report which follows speaks for itself. In summary, the record shows finances, pavilions, exhibits and concessions in reasonably satisfactory condition, attractions balanced and sched·
uling of events proceeding, construction, excepting a few highway
contracts, close to schedule, public reaction favorable, initial scepti
cism largely overcome and every indication that with continued hard work the Fair will open on time, that the attendance will exceed our
estimates and that there will be a sufficient balance left at the end to finish Flushing Meadow Park.
We have reached the stage at which the passersby, sidewalk
superintendents and assorted pundits hear much noise and see what they interpret as signs of confusion and discord. On the other hand,
the conductors of this enterprise detect harmony in the cacophonous roar of construction. The musicians are beginning to play together. This may seem fanciful, but so it is. There are symphonies at Flushing Meadow as well as Lincoln Square.
To the Directors and Members and the Executive and Finance Committees who have provided leadership, guidance and support,
we offer our thanks and trust that they will conclude that their confidence has not been misplaced.

Advance Ticket Sale PROGRESS
TOTAL CLIMBING RAPIDLY!
Brisk sales activity in World's Fair ad· mission tickets is reported by the Advance Ticket Sales group under the direction of Thomas J. Deegan, Jr., chairman of the Executive Committee, and Erwin Witt. comptroller. The Fair's whole financial plan is predicated on the sale of seventy million paid admissions.
Advance admission ticket sales have approached the one·m1ll1on mark. w1th six months remaining before the advance sale deadline of February 29. 1964.
More than 12.000 direct contacts with prospective purchasers have been made. offering a 321/2 % ticket savings in quan· tity buying.
Total goal- biggest in history- for the advance ticket drive is ten mill1on tickets before Fair opening, April 22. 1964. Expectations are promising. ac· cording to Mr. Deegan. that th1s goal will be reached.
The group reports numerous uses of tickets. Many banks and financial institu· tions are selling them as a service to depositors. and are using them as a gift to stimulate savings and checking ac· counts.
Airlines and bus compames have pur· chased blocks of t1ckets to sell to New York City·bound passengers during the periods of the Fair.
Large corporat1ons. including both ex· hibitors and non·exh1b1tors. have found ready acceptance among employee groups. Employees are purchasmg t1ck· ets early to take advantage of savmgs.
They also are being used 111 vanous sales incent1ve campaigns and are being awarded to dealers and salesmen as prizes in a variety of sales contests. Some major corporations are utilizing tickets as employee suggestion contest awards.
T1ckets are be1ng made available to consumers. and some f1rms are mak1ng g1fts of the t1ckets to wholesalers and d1s· tnbutors.
The special Great Days promot1on 1s resulting in sales to all types of orgamzed clubs, serv1ce and civic groups.

Youth groups. Boy Scouts. Girl Scouts. schools and other organ1zat1ons are pur· chas1ng t1ckets now. and then sav1ng the1r money and mal\1ng plans to enJOY the Fa1r next year.
Several ma1or corporat1ons are includ·
ing tickets in a package tour of the Fair. bnng1ng thousands of dealers from all over Amenca to New York. Tickets have been purchased by one major national company in connectiOn with a preview at the Fw in 1964 of the1r 1965 line of
appliances. Several dozen groups 1n the metro·
politan New York C1ty area have made substant1al t1cket purchases at the dis· counted prices and are reselling them at gate value and using the proceeds for chantable and church activities. The tickets prov1de an impetus for exciting fund·ra1sing dnves.
A sales program is under way among governmental agencies on local. state and national levels to enable employees to enjoy the substantial savmgs by pur· chasmg 111 advance.
The Off1C1al World's Fa1r Gift Package. 1n cooperat1on w1th Time. Inc .. is finding acceptance among major corporations as a su1table Chnstmas or business gift; the $10.10 pnce comes well under the In· ternal Revenue Serv1ce allowance on bus1· ness gifts.
The T1cket Sales staff also reports a vanety of Independent packagers offering admiSSIOn t1ckets w1th various entertain· ment packages which include Fair attrac· t1ons. tours and transportation with1n the Fa1r.
Travel and transportation agenc1es are makmg use of the1r des1gnat1on as Offi· c1al T1cket and lnformat1on Centers through an 1111t1al purchase of 1.000 t1ckets: and some are us1ng the t1ckets w1th local customers as a means of creal· mg exc1tement and future bus1ness 1n tours to the Fa1r.
The mcent1ve for t1cket purchases 1s the one·th1rd sav1ngs available when the t1ckets are purchased 1n quant1ty. Cor· poralions wh1ch are heavy users of the mails. 1ncludmg cred1t card companies. banks. department stores and utilitieS. are offenng t1ckets 1n the1r d1rect mail and 1n the1r billmgs to customers.
Fa1r exh1b1tors 1ncludmg mdustnal f1rms. fore1gn governments. church and serv1ce groups have developed programs 1nvolvmg d1stnbut1on by the Fair of t1ckets to the1r members: and t1ckets are also be1ng packaged 1n InVItatiOn envelopes conta1n1ng details on the Fa1r pavilions.

..._. __ Basic Construction GENERAL
Engineering and design for World's Fair Corporation and Park Department major construction have been completed, and contracts on all major items have been awarded. Over twenty·nine million dol· Iars of construction has been completed including basic roads and utilities, tree planting and other landscaping, bridges and overpasses and administration serv· ice buildings. UTILITIES CONSTRUCTION
Electric, telephone, water, sewer and gas facilities now meet the construction needs of the hundreds of contractors working throughout the Fair. Utilities connection points adjacent to exhibit lots are available for service.
The extensive system of electric con· duits was designed to meet the maximum foreseeable needs throughout the Fair, but in the interest of economy, initial contracts covered about two-thirds of the preliminary estimated load. Final load studies were completed this summer and additional cables, transformers and switchgear are being installed to meet final requirements. Underground street
lighting conduits and wiring, and the in· stallation of concrete bases for light standards are practically complete. The standards and the very attractive World's Fair luminaires will be placed this fall. The early completion of underground utilities has facilitated the work of exhibi· tors and is permitting an early start on landscaping. INTERNAL ROADS AND TRANSPORTATION FACILITIES
The major paving program started in May 1963. Twenty miles of pedestrian walks, asphalt roadway and concrete curb have been placed, over one-half of the total. Close coordination with under· ground utilities work assures that road and curb cuts will not be required later on. Coordination has also been main· tained with tree planting and exhibit construction. Present progress indicates that all paving throughout the Fair will be completed by December 1st, well be· fore the onset of winter. Final surfacing may be held over until spring to insure a perfect surface for the opening of the Fair.
The parking fields at Meadow Lake, Lawrence Street and Flushing Airport are substantially complete. These, together
with the Roosevelt Avenue parking area, already in operation, have a capacity of 20,550 passenger cars. Bus terminals are provided at lllth Street and Rodman Street. Long distance buses may be parked in the charter bus terminal park· ing area. The parking fields are being used by workmen on the Fair site. The pedestrian overpass connecting the IRT and L.I.R.R. stations at the main entrance, almost finished, is in use to admit em· ployees. Over one-quarter of a mile long, it will remain as a permanent feature serving Shea Stadium and the post·Fair Flushing Meadow Park.
The service area in the east corner of the Fair provides for World's Fair and exhibitor receiving and storage, commis· sary facilities for the Brass Rail, truck· trailer parking area and other service needs. A service building is completed, a post office nearly so, and all other work is under way. LANDSCAPING
To round out the existing park plant· ings, over 1,000 trees have been planted in street malls. An additional 2,000 are being placed this fall in open areas be· tween groups of exhibit buildings. Screen planting around the edges of Fair and around utility buildings has begun. Final work is under way on the grading and seeding on the shore line of Meadow Lake. Substantial planting has been done in the arboretum area in the Queens Botanical Gardens. Display planting was started in September including decora· tive evergreens, 100,000 tulips and other

Based upon the forecast of income and expenses made shortly after the Fair Corporation was organized, the Finance Committee recommended and the Direc· tors approved the sale of $40,000,000 of 6% Notes maturing August 1, 1966. Estimates of construction costs and op· erating expenses were conservatively on the high side and experience showed that the sale of only $35,000,000 in Notes would be needed tor pre-Fair construction and operation. The Fair Corporation goal was altered accordingly.
return $111,900,000 to the Fair. These estimates are based on a conservative attendance figure of 70,000,000 per· sons, which is the minimum attendance forecast by the reputable revenue engi· neers employed tor this purpose. It is also based on admission charges which are the same as they were tor the sue· cesstul 1962 Seattle Fair. An allowance of 8o/o as a reserve tor contingencies provides an additional safety factor in these estimates.
The expenditure projection is grouped
To date subscriptions tor approxi· mately $30,000,000 of Notes have been received, of which $26,800,000 have been paid for. The remainder is due on January 1, 1964. Since the last meeting of the Directors the office of the Comp· troller has revised the forecast as of July 1st, 1963 and this shows that the $30,000,000 of Notes already sold will cover the financial requirements of the pre-Fair period except for a few months prior to the opening date of the Fair on April 22nd. The predictions show that the cash position improves rapidly thereafter.
into four major classifications. Construe· tion costs are estimated at $33,700,000 of which $18,331,000 was paid tor by August 31, 1963. Most of the con· tracts have been awarded, tess than $2,000,000 remaining to be let. The contract prices are well within the total cost estimate. Interest and financial costs can be calculated accurately. General, Administration and Operating Expenses are in the amounts budgeted for the vari· ous periods. To date these expenditures have been consistently tess than the · amounts budgeted. The estimates show that the cash position of the Fair Corpora· tion will be over $4 7,000,000 at the close of the first year's operation, sufficient to retire all of the 6% Notes.
The Finance Committee determined that it would be cheaper tor the Fair to cover its Notes during this short period by borrowing from commercial banks and most of the commercial banks (who are noteholders) have agreed to provide this
At the end of the Fair on October 17, 1965, there will be an adequate amount to reimburse the $24,000,000 to the
financing. To accomplish this, it was necessary
for the Fair Corporation to obtain the ap· proval of our noteholders to an amend· ment to the Note Agreement and this has been accomplished. On August 1st, the Chairman of the Finance Committee wrote the noteholders asking tor their approval of the amendment and the con· sents necessary to carry out the plan were received in less than tour weeks.
City of New York tor its expenditures for ' permanent park improvements, sufficient surplus to build a complete Flushing Meadow Park, and for educational ·
The statements made when the Fair first started that all estimates were con· servative, that is, that costs were on the high side and income was estimated on the low side, have been borne out by the experience thus far.
For example, the revised forecast of the income and expenditures estimated that ground rents would be $28,825,000 and this was based only on leases actu· ally signed. Of this amount, $12,362,000 has already been received and the bat· ance is due periodically between now and the end of the Fair. The estimate of $13,025,000 which will come from con· cessionaires and licensees is also con· servative. Admissions are estimated to
purposes. The advance sale of tickets under the
supervision of the Comptroller is pro· ceeding satisfactorily. $6,300,000 was included in the forecast of revenue for advance ticket sale. This represents about 5,000,000 tickets. The 1939·1940 World's Fair had an advance sale of 6,000,000 tickets and the 1962 Seattle Fair 4,000,000.
The Thomas J. Deegan Company, under the direct supervision of Thomas. J. Deegan, Jr., has been assigned · actual promotion of the advance ticlketM sale. The offices of the Deegan cornpa1nYi• are in the Time and Life Build August 31st, approximately had been received from advance sales.

is responsible for public relations coun· sel to and the development of Fair promotion. As part of this plan, a World's Fair sales promotion slide pr.esentatlon has been made to some 250 corporations, publishers, . travel agents, carriers and hotel owners. On the basis of present commitments, the Fair will be featured in $150,000,000 worth of paid advertis· lng during Its first year. The Deegan Company's European office, headed by William Humphreys In Paris, covers promotion on the Continent.
As one part of its promotional pro· gram, the Fair Is negotiating with hun· dreds of communities In the New York trading area to plan special days during the 1964 season. The American Society of Travel Agents, under the leadership of ASTA President Milton Marks, has asked the Fair to present. its promotion plans at its annual convention '" October. ASTA has established a World's Fair Ad· visory Commi«ee to coordinate activities of the World's Fair Housing Bureau, travel agents and Fair personnel to en· courage travel into New York durin& the two Fair seasons. A basic purpose of this group Is to make known the fact that agreements ·with the hotel Industry will protect visitors from price gouglna and that there will be no shortaae · of hotel rooms.
Ute, NIWIWttk, and·Macy's have each developed cross-country department store promotions which will feature the Fair and the products of its exhibitors and licensees. The Fifth Avenue Association has set aside the week of October 21, 1963, as World's Fair Week on Fifth Avenue. As part of this week, Mr. Moses will address the. annual meeting of the Association's Board of Directors at the Hotel Plaza. Exhibitors have been asked to work closely with the stores in develop· ing specific displays and exhibits. SPEAKERS SERVICE

ARGENTINA
The Argentine Government has approved a pavilion to be organized by a private Argentine group.
Construction on the pavilion started the week of September 1st. The design of the pavilion resembles the famous "Cabildo" in Argentina where the Viceroy of Buenos Aires was deposed in May 1810. The pavilion will house a luxurious restaurant; here barbecued beef in the style of the Pampas will be cooked in view of the public on a huge 10-foot diameter wheel. Soaring columns will be interspaced with huge glass panes and will afford the passing visitor a view of the interior of the two floor exhibit hall and restaurant and bar. AUSTRIA
The Austrian Pavilion will be A-shaped in design to symbolize Austria as a land of mountains and tourism, and will be constructed of wood to symbolize the richness of its timber and industry.
The pavilion, with a simple but effective interior, will be divided into three main sections: promotion of Austria, promotion of tourism and promotion of economy. BILLY GRAHAM
Ground was broken in April for Billy Graham's Pavilion in the International Area. Octagonal in shape, the pavilion was designed by Edward Durell Stone and includes a 400-seat theatre. A 28-minute evangelical film, produced in Todd-AO,
will be shown. Counselors will be avail· able for personal consultations in small rooms in the pavilion. Dr. Graham plans to make a number of personal appear· ances, both at the Pavilion and in the Arena. CARIBBEAN PAVILION
With the signing of the formal agreement of participation on May 27th, work began on what will be one of the most exciting and colorful pavilions of the International Area- the Pavilion of the Caribbean. Visitors passing this corner site near the Unisphere~ will hear the calypso singers and steel bands for which these islands are famous; inside, they will see limbo dancers and other entertainment typical of the area. There will be a rum bar and displays of handicrafts and products of the participating islands. CENTRALAMERICA- PANAMA
On August 1st construction began on the Centralamerica-Panama Pavilion, which will be located on the Avenue of the Americas. The design of this pavil· ion, by Federico Morales, is simple yet unique; it will consist of six stylized native sombreros. At night, shafts of light will shoot skywards through the translucent tops of the sombreros, making them look like the many volcanoes in Central America.
The exhibits will emphasize the unity of the Central American Common Market (EI Salvador, Costa Rica, Guatemala, Honduras and Nicaragua) and its economic goals. Large murals will depict aspects of Central American life and of the recently completed Pan American Highway. CHILE
The Pavilion of Chile will be a modular two-story structure which will present exhibits showing such products as nitrate, copper and fish products, along with special exhibits of the famous Chilean wines. REPUBLIC OF CHINA
A pavilion of exquisite detail, framed in a carved wooden gateway, will repre-

sent the Republic of China. Rising four stories to a Chinese ornamented roof, it will contain an art collection dating back to 3,000 B.C. Included in the exhibi· tion will be bronzes, jade, sculpture, jew· elry, paintings and calligraphy. A section of the pavilion will contain typical Chinese rooms, and there will be an area with beautiful wall panels where Chinese teas and other foods can be sampled. CHRISTIAN SCIENCE
The Christian Science building, de· signed by Edward Durell Stone in the shape of a seven-pointed star, will be centered on the theme "Christian Science Embraces the World." The pavilion is 35 feet in height and is set in a shallow pool 100 feet in diameter, with eleven illumi· nated fountains. The main exhibit of Christian Science publications and churches around the world will open into an area devoted to evidences of the healing powers of Christian Science. A smaller building nearby will be used as a reading room.
The pavilion will be flexible in arrange· ment and will make use of radio, tele· vision and other media. The center will be staffed by experienced Christian Science church members. DENMARK
Denmark's participation in the Fair was confirmed early in July when Mr. Erik Stockmann, President of the Danish Agricultural Marketing Board, announced that Danish industry would sponsor a Pavilion of Denmark. This sponsorship by private industry, including the brew· eries, major industrial companies and skilled crafts, assures displays of Danish furniture, china, silver and other prod· ucts of fine design and workmanship. There also will be a restaurant serving Danish food, beer and aquavit. Erik Moel· ler, the well-known Danish architect, will design the pavilion. GREECE
The Pavilion of Greece will be spon· sored by the Greek Industrialists Associa· tion, the Greek Center of Production and the Greek Chamber of Commerce. The

theme of the pavilion, "The Wonder That Is Greece," is blazoned in Greek·style letters across one side of its building. The exhibits are planned to show both modern tourism and the history and art of Greece from antiquity to the presen+. Products of modern industry, handicrafts of differ· ent periods and a number of museum pieces of ancient sculpture will be shown. A "taverna" will serve Greek foods and beverages. GUINEA
On July 18th, ground was broken for the Pavilion of the Republic of Guinea. The pavilion, located on a 25,000 sq. ft. site, will consist of three separate struc· tures surrounded by a continuous moat. To enter the exhibit the public will cross a bridge which spans the moat. Two small circular huts with simulated thatched roofing will represent the traditional type of building seen in Guinea. In these huts, native craftsmen will be working on items to be sold. There will be a restaurant in the main building with a stage in the center for performances by members of the famous ballet troupe of Guinea. The hexagonal roof of the main structure, 108 feet in diameter, will be entirely sup· ported on a circular steel truss 80 feet in diameter. The underside of the roof of this building will be similar to that of the multi·colored woven straw ceiling in the President's new house in Conakry, the capital of Guinea. HALL OF FREE ENTERPRISE
Steel is going up on the site of this Hall. Visitors will be able to read on The Ten Pillars of Economic Wisdom the basic principles of free enterprise. Exhibits in the pavilion are designed to show the superiority of the economic principles on which a democratic system of free enter· prise rests. The American Economic Foundation, which is sponsoring the pa· vilion, hopes to spread the validity of a free market economy and private com· petitive enterprise. HONG KONG GARDEN
The Pavilion of the British Crown Col· ony of Hong Kong has added a garden. The garden is accessible from the pavil· ion itself, but many Fair visitors will prefer to cross the Chinese bridge that arches across a quiet pool stocked with goldfish. The garden itself, with its Orien·
tal landscaping and rock settings, is dominated by a large Chinese pagoda. This building, connected to the main pavilion by a covered walkway, has on its various levels a circular bar, a bandstand and a dance floor. Around the pagoda, a gravelled terrace with small tables is the place to try Cantonese and Mandarin cooking. Along the perimeter of the gar· den are small stall·shops selling some of the wares of Hong Kong. INDIA
The pavilion will show India's past and present through models, photographs, charts, books and the finest specimens of ancient art and sculpture. India's eco· nomic and industrial progress and future planning will be illustrated by a display of industrial goods, including handicrafts and handloom products.
India has selected "Progress in De· mocracy" as its special theme.
Fair President Robert Moses presents a medallion to Mrs. Indira Gandhi at the groundbreaking ceremonies for the Pavilion of Indio.
INDONESIA The Indonesian Pavilion, a joint effort
of the Indonesian Government and Indonesian private enterprise, will emphasize four main themes: political, cultural. trade and tourist.
This pavilion will have a tropical accent. Precious native woods, marble flooring and other typical Indonesian materials wi II be used in the construction and decoration.
Potential tourists will be provided with a display of the country's natural beauty. Cultural demonstrations and dance per· formances will be held inside, as well as outside the pavilion. INTERNATIONAL PLAZA
International Plaza is located adjacent to the terminal of the Swiss Sky Ride, with the Pavilions of France, Sweden and Switzerland as immediate neighbors. The only multi-nation exhibit at the Fair, Inter· national Plaza will also include foreign industries, trade groups and manufacturers. Each of the small pavilions will have a fac;ade reminiscent of the tradition and culture of the exhibitor. The Plaza will feature an international restaurant.
Governor Charles Poletti, His Excellency Karim Bangoura, Ambassador of Guinea to the United States, Madame Diollo Telli, wife of the Ambassador and Permanent Representative to the United Nations, and His Excellency A. Bela, Ambassador of Guinea to Morocco, begin digging the foundations for the Pavilion of Guinea.
IRELAND While President Kennedy was visiting
President de Valera of Ireland in Dublin, Fair officials and representatives of Ire· land were putting in place the commemo· ration stone of the Irish Pavilion. The exhibit, Consul General John O'Brien ex· plained, will present an overall image of Ireland. The small entrance court, its walls engraved with the names of promi· nent Irish-American families and their places of origin, opens into a main display area where a selective survey of Irish history, economy and culture will be shown. One high point of this exhibit is the presentation of the origins of the Irish language and its development. On the terrace of the pavilion, at tables topped with fine Irish marble, visitors will be able to order Irish coffee and light refresh· ments. EXODUS PAVILION
An Exodus Pavilion at the Fair was assured when signing ceremonies took place on July 19th.

AERIAL RIDE AND WAFFLE RESTAURANT
For an unobstructed view of the Fair, a visitor to the lake Amusement Area need only step into one of four gondolas. These are then raised to a height of 100 feet off the ground. At the base of the tower from which these gondolas are suspended will be a restaurant special· izing in Belgian waffles. AMERICAN INDIAN PAVILION
For the first time at any World's Fair, there will be a pavilion devoted solely to the presentation of the art and culture of the American Indian.

AMPHITHEATRE, INC.
Meyer Davis, the society bandleader, and Leon Leonidoff, the director of Radio City Music Hall, will produce a spectacular musical stage, water and air extravaganza utilizing a 250-foot revolv· ing stage, an olympic· size pool and a cast of 250 in the Amphitheatre in the Lake Amusement Area. The Amphitheatre which was built for the 1939·1940 World's Fair is being completely refur· blshed. Its seating capacity is being in· creased to 11,000 and a roof is being added for the comfort of the patrons in inclement weather and to give added highlights to the unusual and fascinating lighting effects planned by Mr. Leonidoff for which he is justifiably world famous.
BOATS ON MEADOW LAKE Maroda Enterprises will launch a fleet
of colorful and distinctive boats on Meadow Lake. Customers will have their cho1ce of cruising through the canals of Venice in a gondola, steamboating up the Mississippi in a replica of the Robert E. Lee or cruising through the Florida Keys in glass· bottom boats. CHUN KING
Savory Oriental dishes will be served in glass-enclosed teahouses set in the delicate beauty of a Chinese garden. The Chun King Corporation will construct and operate a Chun King Inn specializing in medium-priced Chinese dinners. The food will be served piping hot from motorized rickshaws by waitresses dressed in flow· ing Oriental robes. CIRCUS
Fairgoers will be able to follow the Circus wagons through the Fair to the gaily-colored Circus tent under the big top. The Circus tent, seating 5,000, and the Circus parade will provide a nostalgic background against which will be played the thrills and chills of the aerialists, the tightrope walkers and other fine Circus attractions collected from all over the world by John Ringling North. DANCING WATERS
In addition to the great water fountains located on the Fairgrounds, there will be a show of Dancing Waters consisting of water bathed in dazzling colored lights syncopated with musical accompani· ment. The theatre in which the show will be presented will, in itself, be of special interest to all Fairgoers. Instead of rigid supports and solid walls, the theatre will
consist of a huge air-bubble supported solely by air pressure. Customers will pass through "air locks" as they enter and leave the theatre. FLUME RIDE
Visitors to the Fair will have the oppor· tunity of "shooting the rapids" while seated in a floating, hollow log as it rushes downstream through swift river currents and around tortuous bends. The Flume Ride, which has met with instant success wherever installed, gives every· one a chance to live for the moment on the mighty rivers of the Pacific North· west. JAYCOPTER
In line with the Fair's policy of pre· senting examples of modern forms of transportation, the Lake Amusement Area will include a Jaycopter ride. The Jay· copter, originally designed as a training device for helicopter pilots, will carry six· teen passengers at a time on a simulated helicopter ride. Because the Jaycopter is attached to a large boom, the pilot can execute sweeping turns, sudden dives and sudden climbs without endangering the passengers and without creating a safety problem for people on the ground. This is a thrill that could not be accom· plished in an ordinary helicopter in stand· ard flight. LES POUPEES DE PARIS
Song and dance in miniature will be presented by the world famous Les Poupees de Paris in a building especially constructed for them. The technique of the puppeteers and the lifelike quality of the puppets has earned the show rave reviews wherever presented. A com·

~.._.Industrial
48
Thirty-four major exhibit pavilions are currently under constructron in the In· dustnal Area. Of these. four are multrple· exhibit buildmgs which have rented space to over 200 American firms.
There are over 4,000 wor1<ers on the Industrial site in various phases of con· struction. Bell System, Coca-Cola, du Pont. Electric Power & light, Formica, Gas Inc., IBM. Johnson's Wax, Pavilion of American Interiors and RCA are in the final stages of their superstructures. Sim· mons is the first completed pavilion in the Industrial Area. General Electric's build· ing structure is completed and they are now installing their intricate interior ex· hibit. as is Eastman Kodak. U. S. Steel has placed the last land mass on the Unisphere. • Travelers has long since held its "topping out" ceremony celebrating the erection of the final roof steel.
The Pepsi-Cola· UNICEF Pavilion plans were announced on August 8th for a Disney-designed water ride which will take children and adults on a visit to far· off places around the world.
In the past weeks activity and interest has continued. H.L.H. Fun and Food Inc. has reserved 152,582 sq. ft. of space in the Industrial Section. Restaurant and amusement attractions will be combined in a tastefully designed landscaped set· ting.
Parker Pen signed a lease with the Fair for an exhibit that will help young visitors select the perfect pen pal with the aid of a UNIVAC machine. The Chunky Corporation will have an outside land· scaped garden and sculpture exhibit pri· marily for children. American Express will have an exhibit centered around a scale model of the World's Fair showing all of the pavilions.
The Pan American Highway Gardens, adjacent to the Eastman Kodak Pavilion. will give photographers an opportunity to capture their subject against startling background shots along one of the world's most ambitious and important roadways.
Awareness of the exciting potential in consumer impact has grown so greatly over the past months that several major industrial exhibitors have expanded their shows. Du Pont will have two theaters presenting rotating live productions; General Electric will include an actual demonstration of atomic fusion; and The Equitable Life Assurance Society has an· nounced plans for their Equitable Demo· graph, a 45-foot electronically-controlled map of the United States on which every birth, death, immigration and emigration will be recorded including the State in which these events occur.

~~~------Transportation HALL OF SCIENCE
Work is progressing rapidly on the planning and construction of the Hall of Science, a permanent New York City fa· cility to remain in Flushing Meadow Park after the World's Fair closes. The struc· ture will be erected on a 200,000 sq. ft. plot with funds appropriated by the City of New York.
With the foundation contract awarded to theW. J. Barney Corporation, ground was broken in mid-June and excavation has been completed. Foundations will be finished by October, and the installation of exhibits will start in mid-January, 1964.
For the Hall of Science, the central cathedral-like hall will be constructed of over 3,000 two-foot by three-foot cement panels with random translucent blue glass. With a clear span 80 feet high, the effect will be an atmosphere suggestive of the challenges of space and the horizons of science.
The proposed introductory presenta· tion of science will include the story of man's struggle and success in harnessing the elements, and his current effort to bridle the universe. The setting of the Great Hall makes possible abstract pres· entations of wind, flame, tides and other influences on man's achievements throughout the ages culminating in a demonstration of space rendezvous spon· sored by Martin Marietta.
The central area will introduce visitors to the individual displays located below ground. Among those who have signed for participation in the Hall of Science are: The Atomic Energy Commission, Abbott Laboratories, Upjohn, lnterna· tiona! Telephone and Telegraph, Ameri· can Cancer Society, American Chemical Company, Hearing Aid Institute, Airborne Instruments, Ames Laboratories, Dow· Corning and General Aniline and Film. SKF INDUSTRIES, INC.
Plans are being made by SKF Indus·
tries, Inc., for a pavilion on a 7,000 sq. ft. site on the mall between the U.S. Rubber and Chrysler Pavilions.
SKF, a leading manufacturer of ball and roller bearings for home, transporta· tion, industry and defense, with offices in Philadelphia and other cities, will con· struct a unique theatre and display based on the company's theme- Motion Engi· nee ring.
The presentation will emphasize man's achievements in the field of motion engi· neering and will involve the use of ad· vanced presentation techniques. EASTERN AIR LINES
Eastern Air Lines will have a passenger terminal located within the Fairgrounds. Passengers on Eastern flights to La Guar· dia and Idlewild airports will be taken to the Fair in special buses and enter the grounds through the airline's own termi· nal building.
Eastern's New York-Boston-Washing· ton Air-Shuttle is a no-reservations pay-on-board service with space assured through the availability of back-up air· planes supporting the regularly sched· uled flights. This simplified air travel combined with the bus service will make traveling much easier for the many thou· sands of visitors expected from the Wash· ington and Boston metropolitan areas.
The Eastern Air Lines building will be staffed with veteran passenger service representatives specially trained to serve World's Fair visitors. SOCONY MOBIL "DRIVER GAME"
Work is progressing rapidly on Socony Mobil's driver game pavilion, an ex· panded version of the company's highly successful exhibit in the Seattle Fair, one of the most popular audience participa· tion shows.
Thirty-six participants may ride in the simulated driver's seats and work the steering wheel, accelerator and brake ac· cording to their reactions to a motion picture of situations which occurred in
"1 r -- '1 r
the famous Mobil Economy Run. The driver's reactions will be evaluated, and an automatic data processing machine will indicate the gasoline mileage he would have gotten under actual condi· tions. When a driver operates with cor· rect reactions, he maintains a perfect score, and when he deviates, penalties are automatically recorded.
The exhibit will occupy a 20,000 sq. ft. site north of the Greyhound area in the Transportation Section. TRANSPORTATION AND TRAVEL
The Transportation & Travel Pavilion, the only multi-tenant pavilion in the Transportation Section, is presently tak· ing shape. A full city block in size, the pavilion will be distinguished by a giant "moon dome" reproducing a section of the satellite's surface.
For the interior of the pavilion, the story of people and products on the move is being prepared, with dramatic exhibits already scheduled by leading organiza· tions such as Allied Van Lines, Canadian Pacific, Motor & Equipment Manufac· turers' Association, Trans World Airlines, United Airlines and United States Power Squadrons. Two spectacular theme ex· hi bits will highlight the pavilion- one the Transportation Hall of Fame and the other the Man on the Moon show.
First steel for the Transportation & Travel Pavilion was erected by Elizabeth Iron Works on August 6, 1963. Founda· tions were built by Cayuga Construction Corporation. Thatcher Construction Com· pany is general contractor for the city· block size structure. THE UNDERGROUND WORLD HOME
The Underground World Home spon· sored by the Underground World Home Corporation, New York City, will receive visitors in a modern pavilion covering a stairway leading down to a large, com· plete-in-every·respect, modern home. It will be completely enclosed within a concrete shell the top of which is five-feet below ground level. All the most current appliances and furnishings will be tea· tured in its interior which includes three bedrooms. Its "exterior" features a patio, terrace and terrace garden area with

will live better by taking all our modern conveniences underground with them. Underground living boasts of pure air, complete climate control, elimination of noise, freedom from all climatic hazards and nuisances, lower costs for heating, air conditioning, insurance and mainte· nance, longer-lasting and more durable construction and a possible solution to the predicted population explosions and traffic problems of the immediate future. But most of all, it offers the average man and his family the proverbial island unto himself- his own way of living, private and controlled.
The Fair's Underground Home will be exhibited under the aegis of a Texan who designed and built the world's first under· ground home in Plainview, Texas. He and his family have lived happily and luxuri· ously in it for over two years. This home, a prototype for the Fair exhibit, has been visited by over 18,000 people from al· most fifty different countries.

Operations OPERATIONS
During the summer the staff of the Operations Department, under the direc· tion of Stuart Constable, vice preside!"lt, Operations, completed much of the major preliminary planning necessary to ensure the smoothest possible day-to-day opera· tion of the Fair. A new organizational chart for the department, reflecting a re· orientation toward Fair time (as opposed to pre-Fair) needs and problems was de· veloped and adopted.
The Fair Protocol Office, directed by Richard C. Patterson, Jr., was established in April at Fair Headquarters to program all Fair functions and V.I.P. visits.
On August 15, Walter Giebelhaus, for· merly assistant chief engineer for the Fair, joined the staff of the Operations Department as program director. Mr. Giebelhaus will direct the radio and tele· vision operations of the Fair Corporation itself, its participants and exhibitors. He will also supervise the Special Events and Cultural Programs. Reporting to the program director during the Fair years will be:
• The director of Special Events, Mary Jane McCaffree, in charge of the planning and execution of the Fair's daily calendar.

The director of Special Exhibits will also maintain liaison with Industrial and Transportation exhibitors during the op· erating period of the Fair.
• The director of the Cultural Pro· gram, Louis B. Ames, in charge of plan· ning and supervision of cultural and free entertainment events sponsored by the Fair Corporation, as well as liaison with the Lincoln Center for the Performing Arts. MAINTENANCE AND SECURITY
General Harry F. Meyers, director, and General Willis Matthews, assistant di· rector, are in charge of the ever-growing operations of the Fair's maintenance and security forces. Early in May the Allied Maintenance Corporation and the World's Fair Maintenance Corporation moved into the largest of the Fair's maintenance .. buildings with a staff of thirty.
The second of the Fair's three fire trucks was delivered in July.
Later in the summer the Fair-built Maintenance Building in the Transporta·
tion Area and the South Precinct Station of the Fair's police force were occupied. This police force, recruited and con· trolled for the Fair Corporation by Pink· erton's National Detective Agency, Inc., commenced operations in June at the Fair's Identity Building, headquarters for all employee passes and identification and security procedures.
All Fair-owned service buildings have been put into regular operation. The serv· ice staffs occupying them report through General Meyers to the vice president of Operations. HEALTH
On July 1, General Sheldon S. Brown· ton, chief medical officer, assumed his responsibilities on a full time basis, in time to represent the Fair at completion of negotiations for the installation of a pre-fabricated atomic-age, 44-bed hos· pital,.a gift to the Fair by the Atomedic Research Corporation of Montgomery, Alabama. On August 1st, the Fair's chief nurse, Caroline Schosser, also joined the staff of the Operations Department. CONCESSIONS
The Fair's Concession Department, supervised by director of Concessions, William A. Kane, is seeing to it that all concessions and exhibits will be open and operating on April 22, 1964. To this end continuing close control of construction schedules and actual field progress will be maintained.
During the summer Transportation Productions, Inc., signed one of the largest concession agreements yet nego· tiated. for 181,000 sq. ft. of space in the Transportation Area, where "Koch· man's World Champion Hell Drivers" auto thrill show will be presented in an out· door arena. LICENSING

RESTAURANTS AT THE FAIR A recent survey conducted by Robert
Cohen of the Operations Department shows that visitors to the Fair will be bountifully supplied with restaurants and snack bars, whatever their tastes and pocketbooks.
The survey, while not complete since many exhibitors and participants are still developing final plans, shows that the Fair will include at least sixty-three res· taurants offering sit-down table service, ranging from sandwich menus to gourmet cafes of international calibre, with a total seating capacity of 18,448 diners. The tabulation which follows shows that these restaurants will be widely distributed throughout all parts of the Fair: Industrial Area

Because of the global and international aspects of the World's Fair, Robert Moses and Guy Lombardo, for the past several years, investigated several show themes as timely possibilities for the Marine Theatre. Their joint decision in 1962 to present Mike Todd's "Around The World In 80 Days" was a logical one, as the Jules Verne classic is not only eminently suitable for the Marine Theatre, but also particularly appropriate for a World's Fair.
The production had a highly success· ful run at Jones Beach in 1963, setting new attendance records for the 8,200· seat Marine Theatre. Through coopera· tion of Fair President Robert Moses and Park Commission President Perry B. Our· yea, Jr. the re-opening of the show in
Marine Theatre
Guy Lombardo, producer and bandleader, will begin his eleventh season at Jones Beach.
June 1964 for the first year of the Fair will provide a thoroughly seasoned pro· duction, with innovations, for thousands of Fair visitors.
The facilities of Jones Beach State Park will be an attraction to many Fair visitors who have had no previous oppor· tunitity to take advantage of this world· renowned public seashore. The park, 30 miles by parkway from the Fair, on the South Shore of Long Island, has bath· houses, beaches, swimming pools, park· ing areas for 25,000 cars, eating places and game areas. Also, the new Robert Moses State Park, on five miles of ocean beach on the western tip of Fire Island, will be opened for the first time when the new bridge over Fire Island Inlet is com· plated by the Long Island State Park Commission in June 1964.

The State of New York joins the City of New York in an invitation to the people of the world to come to the Fair in 1964· 1965. From Niagara Falls to the end of Long Island, New York in itself is an ex· position of the commerce, culture, trans· portation and recreation of our times.
The New York State Thruway extend· ing over 350 miles from Buffalo to New York is, with its spur roads, a principal approach to the Fair. It has played an important part in the development of in· dustry along the route.
Over 100 State parks will welcome visitors on their way to the Fair. New parks at Niagara and near the St. Law· renee Power Project attest to the coor· dination of planning by the Power Authority of the State of New York. Over· looks, observation buildings and tourist facilities have been completed at both projects, at Niagara where a power ca· pacity of over 2,000,000 kilowatts has been installed and at St. Lawrence with a capacity of 940,000. With the Canadian installations, the Niagara-St. Lawrence is an 8,000,000 kilowatt waterway, one of the great waterways of the world.
From the north and west to the At· !antic Ocean, New York is proud of the Adirondack and Catskill Mountains, the beautiful Finger Lakes and the rolling valleys of the Mohawk and the majestic Hudson.
Many miles of beaches front on the Atlantic Ocean. Hundreds of piers make the port of New York the greatest in the world. Newark, La Guardia and New York International Airports will bring millions to the Fair.
The City of New York is preparing to house and entertain the Fair visitors of 1964·1965. The State of New York is cooperating in assuring a pleasant visit.

The $325,000,000 Verrazano-Narrows Bridge will be opened in late 1964 in time for the second year of the Fair. The 4,260·foot center suspended span will make it the longest in the world.
As approaches to the bridge and as interconnections with the City arterial system almost $50,000,000 are being spent on arterials in Richmond and Brooklyn. The complex will open a new direct route between New Jersey and Long Island bypassing Manhattan.
As an outstanding example of engineer ingenuity, the bridge will require 570,000 tons of concrete and over 225,000 tons of steel.
The Triborough Bridge and Tunnel Au· thority is financing, building and will op· erate the Bridge. The Authority estimates that over 12,000,000 vehicles will use the bridge in the first year of operation.
During the first year of the Fair the new bridge will be an unusual exhibit for visitors to New York. In the second year of the Fair it will serve as a major approach.

Worlds Fair Approaches Major arterial, railroad, subway and
water approaches to the New York World's Fair are shown on the accom· panying aerial photograph. With La Guar· dia Airport, lower left, New York Inter· national Airport ten miles away, and the Heliport within the Fair site, these routes and terminals are the means of access to the Fair.
New York International Airport will have its new Terminal City ready for Fair opening, and La Guardia's major expan· sion program, including a new runway, parking areas and a modern terminCJI building is near completion.
The World's Fair Marina, accommodat· ing 800 boats in Flushing Bay, will serve both visiting yachtsmen and excursion boats from points around New York City and Long Island Sound.
Work on the Willets Point Station of the IRT·Fiushing subway line is well ad· vanced, looking forward to receiving the majority of Fair visitors. The pedestrian overpass from the station to the exhibit area is almost completed.
The new Long Island Rail Road sta· tion, which connects to the same over· pass, has been completed.
The Port of New York Authority's Heli· port has completed all structural work and the finishing touches are being made both inside and out.
Arterial contracts are indicated on the photograph by numbers as follows:
1 and 2. Widening of Grand Central Parkway from six to eight lanes from Brooklyn-Queens Expressway to the Kew Gardens interchange with the Van Wyck Expressway at center right.
3, 4, 5, 6, 7. Widening of Grand Cen· tral Parkway from four to six lanes from Van Wyck interchange to Clearview Ex· pressway at upper right.
8, 9, 10, 11, 12. Van Wyck Express· way Extension, six new traffic lanes along the eastern border of Flushing Meadow Park from the Whitestone Expressway to Northern Boulevard.
13. Jewel Avenue interchange be· tween Meadow and Willow Lakes, con· necting Van Wyck Expressway to Grand Central Parkway. Access to Lakeside parking area will be provided from this interchange.
14. Northern Boulevard is being re· constructed to serve as an interchange to channel traffic from the north and south on Grand Central Parkway, from Van Wyck Expressway and from White·
stone Expres! 15. A new

16. Widening of Whitestone Parkway from four to eight lanes to carry com· mercia! as well as passenger traffic.
17. Clearvlew Expressway is being ex· tended to meet the widened Grand Cen· tral Parkway at upper right.
The Verrazano·Narrows Bridge is un· der construction ten miles southwest of the Fair, with spinning of the cables for the world's longest suspension span of· fering an exciting tourist attraction. By 1965, the new bridge will bring visitors to the Fair.
LA GUARDIA La Guardia Airport was opened in 1939
when flying was still an adventure and the DC·3 was pioneering commercial aviation. The tremendous expansion of air service since the Fair of 1939·1940 inspired plans for complete reconstruc· tion of the field at the cost of $115,000,. 000. Construction has been accelerated to assure opening for the Fair of 1964· 1965.
The new terminal will have passenger and plane capacity of over six times the old one. Four two·story finger buildings will lead to 36 aircraft gate positions. With a new five story Airline Wing Build· ing, a total of 650,000 sq. ft. of floor space will be available.
The new 150·foot control tower will direct plane takeoffs and landings on the enlarged existing runway and on the new 5,965·foot runway. Additional taxiways, parking aprons and warm·up pads have been added.
New access roads to the terminal sur· round new parking areas for 4,300 cars.
