In Federal quarters 1t was denied
that the War Department has plans
to take over the first part of the
Municipal Center. The War De-
partment and Navy Department
both are expanding rapidly in linz
with the plans for national defense,
but neither, it was said, has made
any arrangements to take over the
new Municipal Building.
Eventually the Federal building
program does involve buying the
District Building at the corner Of
Fourteenth and z streets NV.
Such a step was forecast about two
years ago by President Roosevelt's
own outline of a long range Federal
building program in the District.
The building is the only remaining
unit in the huge so-called Federal

Monopoly Probers Suggest
Inquiry Into Distribution
By the Associated Press.

BY the hsSoclaIeo Press.
Economists of the Monopoly Com
mittee suggested yesterday it might
"be we'll for Government TO re-
examine it's policy with regard to
laws affecting the system of dis
tribution."
The statement was made in a re-
port on price behavior and busl-
ness policy prepared under the su-
pervision of Edward S. Mason, Har-
ward University professor of eco
nomics.
Commenting that retail prices
were in general less flexible than
wholesale prices, the report said
that some governmental activities.
such as State and Federal fair trade
acts had increased the rigidlty OF
the prices of many trade-markeo
commodities.
The report, which contained no
specific recommendations, said 1t
was evident that no simple. single
approach to prices as such WIZ

maintaining industrial activity"
