WORLD OF

That the New York World's Fair of 1936 plans to handle enormous crowds ni entrances and exits, combining beauty with utility, Is indicated by an artist's drawing above. The drawing as reproduced above calls for a magnificent double-decked entryway with under- passes, over-passes, pedestrian walks, bus terminals, comfort stations and bridge connections masuring the utmost comfort while at the same time providing an area of architectural beauty. The artist has pictured a ramp leading from the exposition grounds toward the I.R.T. 11.M.T. subway terminal, being arranged to accommodate up to 40,000 visitors an hour, at a point where it is necessary to cross over the Long Island Railroad tracks and to avoid undue congestion of pedestrian trafic. Shown in the left foreground is a domed restaur ant within a fountain basla and an expanded promenade bordered by grown trees, and, neater, an open-air cafe and Information kiosk. Along the flanking walls has been delineated the Fair's world concept looking to the removal of barriers between men and between peoples,
