Congressional Action
Is Seen 10 Remedy
Office Situation
Acute Space Shortage
Believed Imminent in
Reynolds Report

Action on Capitotl Hill to pro-
vide means of relieving the immi-
nent shortage of space in admini-
strative ofdces expanding under the
defense program was foreseen to-
day following a report made by
w. T. Reynolds, commissioner Of
public buildings.
Mr.. Reynolds told Federal Works
Administrator John M. Carmody
that his ONCE is able to meet cur
rent space requests as they arise,
"but we can not overlook the fact
that the need for space is rapidly
increasing and the problem will be
acute within a short time"
The Senate Appropriations and
Buildings and Grounds Committee
have had the space problem under
consideration for several weeks, it
was understood.
In his report Mr.. Reynolds said
that private owners or agents Of
buildings in the District are con-
tinually calling attention to prop
critics which they feel the Govern
ment could utilize for administra-
tive onces, but of the approx
mately 1,000,0 900 square feet of space
submitted most of 1t consists Of
small units, warehouses or apart
ment buildings which could be con-
verted for Office use only at excess
sive costs.
Moreover" Mr.. Reynolds con-
tinued, "the Government has not
been in sympathy with the leasing of
space for office use which would
call for eviction of tenants or bus
iness concerns except under unusual
circumstances or emergencies"
