vE\V YORK. Dec. 8.—(JP)—'The
‘ 1 for the United Nations per
,nPnt capital site intensified
Ldav night with a variety of be
fnc.‘he-scenes moves on the eve
, - Slowdown meeting of the 54
° miei headquarters committee
"fLake Success.
The^e developments, brought a
Upsurge in the hopes of Mayor
o „er Laoham's San Francisco
‘p committee and a partly dis
eased plan by Mayor O’Dwyer of
York to give the U. N. a wide
election of sites hereabouts with
’ suuoesuon that the peace capital
' j„ht even be a skyscraper.
The unexpected appearance of
ffeison A. Rockefeller at Flushing
Meadow park late Sunday height
ed speculation that the old
Rockefeller estate at Tarrytown
m 2ht be offered to the United Na
tions as a permanent home.
O'Dwyer declined to amplify his
plan, beyond suggesting that the
N. could find any sort of loca
te in the environs of New York
and that U. N. could arrange the
erection of a skyscraper on avail
able land. He went on to suggest
that the government might offer
Governor's Island, a small dot in
the upper bay off Brooklyn and the
location ofF ort Jay, to match the
offer of the San Francisco Presidio.
Mew York thus far has formally
offered 330 acros of the Flushing
Meadow park, where the Genera]
assembly is meeting.
While Philadelphia, with support

led by Britain and Russia, remain
ed nominally in the lead, the San
Francisco committee which has
long besieged the U. N. with offers
to return to its charter meeting
city, was st ll campaigning among
the delegations. '
A San Francisco committee
source said an unofficial poll
showed that 23 delegations indi
cated they favored San Francisco
and possibly nine more would go
along to make up more than neces
sary for the simple majority de
cision among the 84 committee
members
The headquarters committee
meeting at 3 p. m. E. S. T„ Mon
day in the interim headquarters
at Lake Success was expected to
vote first on whether the peace
capital should be set up on the At
lantic or Pacific coast, and then
to pin-point a location.
Decision In Doubt
If the West wins on that ballot,
the Presidio would be the likely
choice. If the East wins, further
survey work might be in order to
look into O’Dwyer’s suggestions.
