HYDE PARK TO BE HOME?
Rec. 9 a.m. WASHINGTON, Nov. 25,
The "San Francisco Chronicle's" Washington correspondent says that an American Government source disclosed that Britain had suggested Hyde Park, where President Franklin Roosevelt was born, lived, and was buried, as a site for the United Nations Organisation, partly as a move to prevent San Francisco being chosen. Britain contemplates a last-ditch fight for a European site as the .first choice, but sees Hyde Park as a secondary objective. Government sources pointed out that many European and Latin American nations might listen to an appeal based on a desire to honour President Roosevelt, whereas they might prefer San Francisco to other east American sites. He added that England favours Hyde Park because its proximity to Washington would be a convenience to her diplomatic and commercial representatives.
