...Giant turtles on the Galapagos Islands. Polar bears in the Arctic. What each species shares with the others is an improving prospect for survival due to the efforts of a unique conservation organization. That group is the World Wildlife Fund, whose members gathered last week in Manhattan's Waldorf-Astoria hotel to celebrate with deserved pride their tenth anniversary. From an obscure club of wealthy do-gooders, W.W.F. has grown into a United Nations of conservation, whose efforts on behalf of hundreds of endangered species are felt from Scotland to Sumatra...

Up for bids is the land under 22 buildings, including the Waldorf-Astoria, the Pan Am Building and the corporate headquarters of ITT, Union Carbide, Manufacturers Hanover Trust Co., Bankers Trust Co. and the Chemical Bank. These companies have leased the buildings, in some cases well into the 21st century, but eventually the buyers of the land will get control of the buildings...
