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

inception.
A tall, solidly built man with
thinning gray hair, Mosex has
been thriving on vast respon

lic life under then Gov. Al
Smith in 1924. His works in con

park at the fair site in Queens.
The outbreak of World War

fair and, although there was a
park, it was not the kind big

Moses was born in New Ha

son of a millionaire merchant.
He was graduated from Yale,

He met his wife, the foimer
