U. 5. Report Is Favorable
To San Francisco Site
BY tho Associotsd Press

LAKE SUCCESS, N. Y, Nov. T.
An informed source said last night
that State Department experts had
made "a very favorable report" or
their survey of the San Francisco
area as a prospective site for perma-
nent headquarters of the United
Nations.
The American delegation to the
U. N. Assembly remained officially
non-committal on the future home
site, but it was acknowledged that
a three-man committee of experts
has inspected San Francisco's Of
fered areas and has made its report
back in New York.
The 51-nation U. N. Headquarters
Committee was to meet this morn
ing to take up the report of site
commission authorized by the Lon
don Assembly meeting last winter
to survey and select sites IN the
Westchester Fairfield County areas
in the New York and Connecticut
suburbs of New York City.
That commission, headed by Sil
Angus Fletcher of Great Britain
settled on five prospective sites in
Westchester County, eliminating
Fairfield, but yesterday the chief
American delegate, Warren r. Aus
tain. succeeded In getting Steering
Committee approval to widen the
scope OF sites under consideration
to include New York City and San
Francisco
