PRESIDENT PLANS

Ickes and DR.. Moore Confer
on Proposal to Start Large
Development.
PROJECTS ON AVENUE

New Structures West of Sew.
enteenth Street.

President Roosevelt is considering an
expansion of the Governments own
building program here, it developed to-
day, as Secretary Harold L. Ickes and
DR.. Charles Moore, chairman Of the
Fine Arts Commission, conferred with
the Chief Executive.
Those close to the President believe
he is preparing to ask Congress for
funds with which to carry forward the
development Of the National Capital
From the time Mr. Roosevelt was As
sistant Secretary of the Navy he has
taken a lively interest in the Govern
ment's program for housing its own
departments here.
Proposals Outlined.
Among the possibilities seen as re-
suit of today's housing conference are:
The placing of the new Army and
Navy buildings on Pennsylvania avenue
west of Seventeenth street
The erection of new State Depart
ment Building on the west side of La
fayette square with quarters suitable
for entertaining the American Govern
ment's official guests, such as prime
ministers and other dignitaries.
The acquisition by the Federal Gov
eminent Of both sides Of Pennsylvania
avenue, from Rock Greek Valley to Sew
enteenth street.
The ultimate acquisition Of the head
quarters of the Chamber of Commerce
square from the White House.
In the past, Navy Department OH
Gals have favored the construction OF
the new headquarters for that branch
of the service along New York avenue,
IN the vicinity of the Naval Hospital.
May Balance Program.
The President is considering the
possibility of balancing the triangle de-
velopment in the downtown section
with another program along Pennsyl-
vania avenue west of Seventeenth street.
Secretary Ickes, who went into the
housing situation thoroughly with the
Chief Executive, now has charge Of the
Governments housing here, having
taken from the obsolete Public Build
ings Commission the task of allotting
space for the various governmental
units. Ickes now finds himself hard
pressed to find sufficient room TOR the
growing activities of Government. All
Federal-owned space now available is
occupied and Uncle Sam is forced to
rent properties again. This situation
will be relieved soon, however, when the
new buildings, now nearing completion
In the downtown triangle are finished.
Expansion Considered.
Previous discussions by Government
authorities have considered the taking
of the Cosmos Club and Belasco
Theater property, on the east side OF
Lafayette Square, for new Govern
ment structure to match the Treasury
Department annex and the Chamber
Of Commerce of the United States.
The President is represented as feel
ing the further expansion Of Wash
ington should be along permanent lines,
in keeping with the plan of 1901. So,
his advisers say. he desires to take
Congress into his confidence rather
than taking the funds out of the Public
Works Administration moneys For this
reason the Chief Executive is believed
to be preparing to draft message to
Congress on this topic.

The R. F. c. quotation of s34.o1 an

ment bond market has been firmer.
In London, the offering for bar gold
today was $32.22 an ounce on the basis

Acting Secretary Morgenthau told
news men the preliminary report
shows an excellent reception" of the
AIcdSuIyS new securities issue.
BY its action the Treasury dispelled
all talk that greenbacks might be used

Effect Held Uncertain.
Just what effect the gold buying pro-
gram had on the form Of the refund
ing issue was question between those
for and against the gold policy. The
former foresaw no difficulty in dispos-
ing Of the securities and considered the
interest moderate. pointing out more
than half the maturing obligations are
paying Az per cent.
Others contended the gold policy had
created condition in the bond market
which required the Treasury to use
short-term credit or pay excessive in
terest. They said the ~ maturities
were so high only because they were
floated at the time Of the bank hol-
iday.
The December financing, when COM
pleted, win leave considerably more
borrowing for the near future. There
are $500, 100000 Of March is maturi-
