my ears, for our motive in asking the
Deputy Premier to scout was actually
a little more involved than I've suggested.
Even though we had an agreement for a
fair, we did not have detailed approval
from the Russians for the list of displays
to be presented.
Three times since last September alone,
Harold c. Mcclellan, general manager of
the exposition project; Abbott Washburn,
deputy director Of the United States Infor-
nation Agency; Gus Tuckerman of the
State Department: Nathaniel Ostrov,
counselor of the Department of Com
merce; Robert Sivard of USIA, and had
journeyed to Moscow to try to pin the
Russians down. But instead of telling us
what we might show, they told us what
we shouldn't show.
Just In TimeI
Ideally, fair of this magnitude requires
at least two years Of preparation. Yet all
we had at the time Of Mikoyan's visit was
three months. All Of the displays have to
be on ships by the first week in May, or
they will not arrive in time to be sent by
rail to Moscow, uncrated and set in place.
Should even one item OF our exhibit fail
to meet Russian approval we could have
trouble. Water and electricity might not
flow into our halls.
1t was Mikoyan'S enthusiasm for
American products that helped to change
the entire outlook. At this writing our list
has still not received final approval from
the Russians, but with an endorsement
from the No. man, we believe the door
is open!
Now the Russian man on the street will
see the goods average Americans use every
day: a prefabricated house, a model
farm, automobiles, small boats, attrac-
tive clothes, appliances everything, in
fact, that makes life simple and enjoyable
here.
In separate building we will have
science and research exhibits, featuring
recent innovations in electronicS and COM
municationS, as well as Circarama, the
movie in the round" about America that
was so popular at the Brussels Fair last
summer.

Also there will be included some exam
Piles Of American painting, architecture
and photographs, probably Edward

York Philharmonic, the Jerome Robbins
Ballet, good popular jazz orchestra, per-
haps led by Benny Goodman, and other
American artists are scheduled to appear
in downtown Moscow theaters. We want
the cultural side of the exhibit to be as big
as our budget will permit.
In other words, there is going to be
