All Housing Agencies

Washington, Nov. 26-(R-The
upshot Of the Ickes-Moffett flareup
may be plan to merge all housing
activities Of the government into
one agency.
Donald r. Richberg's national
emergency council is working on q
program whereby housing activities,
now carried by 81 federal agencies,
may be Jumped In one.
James A. Moffett. housing admin
istrator who Is conducting q drive
to stimulate the investment of pri-
vate money In home-building, favors
such an idea. The opinion Of Sec
rotary 1ckes, who suggested an ex-
banded program Of home-building
with federal funds, Is not known.
After Moffett had denounced gov
eminent construction Of homes IN
competition with private business
as ruinous, the White House inter-
vened, and the two men issued a
Joint statement denying there was
any trouble between them.
