From the Recorder: September 6, 1945

In today's Ralston Recorder from September 6, 1945, we read that San Francisco is the frontrunner for the headquarters of the newly formed United Nations organization. Ultimately New York City was chosen, with additional subsidiary headquarters in Geneva, Switzerland (opened 1946), Vienna, Austria (1980), and Nairobi, Kenya (1996).
