Vast Garden project eyed as World Fair goal looms

The Graham-Paice group owners of the Garden plan a sweeping New York transformation with a Spring 1964 World Fair target. Partnering with the Pennsylvania Railroad, they seek a 36 year lease and a dramatic roofed arena using cable reinforced concrete. Architect Charles Luckman promises a skyscraper like innovation while a rooftop to bedrock build must not disrupt rail and subway service. The complex would anchor midtown life with a retractable seating system and a vast exhibition hall, enabling visitors to access trains directly to the arena.

Barry Goldwater Praised as Republican Leader Hope

Special Correspondent George E. Sokolsky argues Barry Goldwater embodies principled conservative leadership and growing student and regional support. The piece contrasts Goldwater with past Republican figures, notes his appeal in the South and among youth, and discusses party dynamics leading to 1964 leadership expectations. It cites Taft, Eisenhower, Nixon, Rockefeller and the shift toward ideas over winning personalities.
