TIME might better criticize the pig-headed public in general and the boycotting New Yorkers in particular, instead of Grover Whalen and the World's Fair organization for lack of patronage at the World of Tomorrow. Perhaps the statement made by TIME in its July 24 issue, p. 54, that no U. S. world's fair ever charged more than 50? is true.

...most Congressmen the pleasure of putting thumb to nose and waving all four fingers in the direction of Franklin Delano Roosevelt was last week a fully satisfying occupation (see p. 12). But to Congress' thoughtful fringe (New Deal and anti-New Deal) there was a far more interesting occupation, the same occupation as that of many a businessman, trying to answer a question...
