He's far-sighted, unswerving in his goals and competent and aggressive enough to get the job done. At least he has been thus far in his 40-year career of public service in which he distinguished himself as a park builder, highway constructor and operator, slum clearer , and builder of great buildings. But Moses' career has been a tower of controversy as well as accomplishment, and no small amount of his success stems from his willingness to nected $124 million network of highways and blidges was pro gressing; with the Bureau of International Expositions, over accreditation of the fair, and with contractors and exhibitors about meeting schedules. And his edict that the fair would contain no girlie shows or carnival midway-type exhib its also has drawn critical fire. As the controversies ebb and flow, preparations for the fair continue. Officials of the ex position say "there is no doubt" that it will open on time Moses, now 74 years old, di rected the '64-'65 fair from its inception. A tall, solidly built man with thinning gray hair, Mosex has been thriving on vast respon sibility since he went into pub lic life under then Gov. Al Smith in 1924. His works in con crete, steel and greenery, in New York City, the state and elsewhere, are conservatively valued at $5 billion. At one point he had 14 sepa rate titles, most of them un salaried.

The outbreak of World War II crimped the finances of the fair and, although there was a park, it was not the kind big thinker Moses had in mind. Next April, another World's Fair will open on the same site spent some of his private, in herited fortune pursuing h i s public services. Without enumerating the var ious titles, Moses deeds included building magnificent park sys tems for New York City and the state of New York, construction of the Niagara Power Project a huge dam system that har nessed the power of Niagara Falls, construction and super vision of a huge network of high ways, bridges and tunnels in and around New York City, building the New York Coliseum and clearing the slums where the Lincoln Center for the per Council of Parks. Moses was born in New Ha ven, Conn., on Dec. 18, 1881, the son of a millionaire merchant. He was graduated from Yale, earned his master's at Oxford and his Ph.d. from Columbia. He met his wife, the foimer Mary Louise Sims, while they both worked for a municipal research organization. They have two married daughters. some two and a half years from now, the beautiful tree foun tain - and mall - studded park Moses envisioned almost cer tainly will be left for future generations of New Yorkers to enjoy. The main reason is that Bob Moses is running this fait nnrl forming arts and large amounts of the city's public housing now stand. lock horns with the mightiest of adversaries. He's tangled with at least one president (Franklin D. Roosevelt), several gover nors, and a Cabinet officer, not to mention a formidable list of lesser politicians. Moses was New York City park commissioner for 26 years until 1960 when he took on the fair presidency. A year ago, he quit five separate state jobs in a row with Gov. Nelson A. Rock efeller who wanted him to re sign as chairman of the State In keeping the fair prepara tions on the track and on time, he has verbally tusseled with New York City and its mayor over the price of children's tic kets, with its traffic department he wants to leave a park, so he oraerea it.
