Verlag: Contra Costa County Board of Supervisors [1945], Martinez [CA], 1945
Anbieter: Nat DesMarais Rare Books, ABAA, Portland, OR, USA
Oblong folio (14 1/2 x 10 3/4 inches). Likely the print run for this was extremely small. Unpaginated. [5] leaves of printed text (including one signed by all the members of the Contra Costa County Board of Supervisors), printed on rectos only. With color a map designating the potential site for U.N. World Capitol plus 23 linen-backed black and white photographs, with printed captions in the bottom margins. Publisher's teal cloth with gilt spine lettering. This copy was presented to the then Governor of California Earl Warren and his his name stamped in gilt on the front. Lower corner of map leaf with some discoloration but overall in excellent condition.A charming prospectus for when Moraga was bidding to become the headquarters of the then newly established United Nations. Delegates of fifty nations met in San Francisco, California, USA, between 25 April and 26 June 1945 at the United Nations Conference on International Organization. Working on the Dumbarton Oaks proposals, the Yalta Agreement, and amendments proposed by various governments, the Conference agreed upon the Charter of the United Nations and the Statute of the new International Court of Justice. One other subject was discussed at the San Francisco meeting; a permanent home for the United Nations. Strangely enough Contra Costa County made a bid to be that home. "It may have all started in February, 1945, when Robin Lampson, a poet, radio scriptwriter and owner of Lampson?s Stamp Shop in Richmond, wrote a letter to the editor of the Richmond Independent.He proposed that since San Francisco had been chosen to be the site of the first meeting of the United Nations, why not find a spot in the Bay Area where the international organization could have a permanent home, such as the Berkeley hills, Orinda or the Moraga Valley? Ione Booth, secretary-manager of the Contra Costa Development Association headquartered in Richmond, thought bringing the U.N. to this county, particularly the Moraga Valley, was a great idea, as did her board of directors and the Contra Costa County Board of Supervisors. A committee was created to act for the supervisors. Members included real estate developer state Sen. Arthur H. Breed Jr., who did a lot of his developing around the Moraga area. Another member of the committee was Congressman George P. Miller (no relation to current Congressman George Miller). In September, 1945, Miller (D-Alameda) inserted a proposal to put the U.N. headquarters in Moraga. On Dec. 17, 1945, the U.N. voted 30 to 14 to locate its headquarters in the United States. Fifty regions in the U.S. started to compete.Meanwhile, the Contra Costa Development Association pushing for the Moraga Valley came up with $2,500 for an expensive-looking book that included 24 glossy 15-by-11 -inch photos showing aerial views of Moraga and the Bay Area.The book [presented here] promoted Moraga?s proximity to San Francisco (30 minutes), to airports, U.C. Berkeley and St. Mary?s College. Copies of the book, signed by the Contra Costa County Board of Supervisors, were sent to members of the U.S. Department of State and each chief representative of the major nations of the U.N." (Nilda Rego, East Bay Times, 2008). On Nov. 22, 1946, the Contra Costa County proposal was rejected.
