S45 Million
38-StoryUnit

NEW YORK (AP)-Alumi-
mum Co. Of America has de-
tailed new plans under which
a $45 million office-apartment
building is to be erected near
the United Nations headquar-
tiers.
Originally, the project was
among those in which Alcoa
was associated with developer
William Zeckendorf, ST., but
those ties were severed this
month.
Alcoa Chairman Lawrence
Litchfield. jr., said his firm has
formed Alcoa Plaza Associates
with Canbritam-New York, Inc,
and Orion-New York, Inc. to
handle the project. Alcoa owns
70 per cent and the other two
own Is per cent each.
The project, called $50 United
Nations Plaza, is to be faced by
bronze-tone aluminium panels.
Office portions are to be
ready for occupancy next fall
with the tenant-owned CO.
operative apartment portions to
be ready shortly later, Alcoa
said.
The project will include q
six-story base structure with
two 32-story towers rising more
than 80 feet apart.

Tricky Bargaining Ahead for Satellite Corp.

Surely this question of

Of communications" comments
Samuel D. Estep, professor of

This problem, he says in a
specially-prepared paper on
the corporations international
considerations, creates the
most nearly unique question
raised by the Communications

For the project to succeed,
Prof. Estep says, 1t will be
necessary for the businessmen
connected with the company to
work closely with the Govern

AS the Communications Sat-
elite Corp. moves ahead with
Its plans to build global COM
munications system, one key
question remains unanswered:
How much freedom will the
company have to negotiate with
foreign governments?
The success or failure of the
whole intricate project we'll may
revolve around this point, a
prominent specialist in inter-
national business law believes.
Communications S atellite
Corp. was established by Con-
gress last year to plan, develop
and operate a space communi-
cations network that would re-
lay telephone, television, tele-
type, radio and other electronic
signals to stations around the
world, in cooperation with
foreign governments and COM
panies.
1t was debated before passage
OF the legislation-and never
has been fully resolved-just
how much of Communications
Satellite Corp. is private en-

FHLBB STUDYING
VARIABLE RATES
FOR DIVIDENDS

The Federal Home Loan
Bank Board is studying the
possibility of authorizing
Federal savings and loan
associations to pay "vari-
able" dividend rates to their
savers in an effort to reduce
basic dividend COSTS, re-
ported the National League
of Insured Savings Associa-
ton in a bulletin to men,
bers yesterday.
Primary objective Of a
current board study is a
workable" plan under
which a Federal association
would pay a lower dividend
for "in-and-out" savings
and a slightly higher rate
for long-term savings, the
league has advised mem
berS.
Board officials are I'M
derstood to feel that an
easily understood simply
worded variable dividend
plan would go a long way
toward enabling Federal
associations to reduce their
basic rates should they
choose to in the second half
Of this year." 1t declared.

The professor believes It may
be wise for the company first
to work out agreements (for
ground stations, rates, equip
ment and the like) with the
principal European powers.
such as Great Britain, then
use these as patterns for sub
sequent agreements.
But. he says. "the real Ques-
ton is. will Communications
Satellite or the State Depart
ment do the negotiating?"
This decision cannot be made
intelligently IF the skeptical.
arms-length attitude which has
existed in the past in many
other areas Of international
business is assumed by either
party" Prof Estep concludes.
1T must be a joint venture"
One approach, he thinks,
may be to form an official
negotiating team made up of
company and Government Of
ficials. In any event, he says,
zone is inclined to think that
1t will be much wiser II the
lead in negotiations can be
taken by corporate officials"

feeling Of lack Of understand
ing" he adds. I'm fact, tradi-
tionally in this country we have
been very suspicious Of too close
cooperation between Govern
ment officials and businessmen
for fear that there will be some
kind of over-reaching."
Some of this fear may be
justified, Prof. Estep continues,
but ut is crucial that there be
none of this reluctance to work
out common policies which will
serve our foreign relations
needs and also make possible
such reasonable business de-
cisions as are required to oper-
ate a viable Satellite Corp"
Prof. Estep points out that
private business has proved
successful in the past In max
ing agreements with foreign
governments and enterprises.
American Telephone & Tele-
graph Co., for example, has
more than ITS formal operating
agreements involving nearly
every country In the world, in

eminent agency. The company
outwardly appears to be a pri-
vate business run by business
men who are expected to make
a profit. But there is no argu-
ment with the fact that much
United States foreign policy is
tied up in it too.
Secretary Of State RuSk has
made 1t clear that the State
Department is interested in the
corporations activities and will,
from time to time. take part
in some of the forthcoming in
ternational negotiations.
No one knows yet what eff
feet this will have on the COM
pany. 1t is not hard to imagine,
however, instances where for
eign policy considerations
might be opposed to sound
business practices.
One section of the Com
munications Satellite Act, for
instance, appears to give the
Secretary of State authority to
say that a particular foreign
country should be connected to
the satellite system, whether or
not it is economically feasible.
