Congressional Action
To Block White House
Expansion indicated

Congressional action seeking post
ponement of additions to the Ex-
ecutive Mansion until House and
Senate members have further OPP
portunity to examine the plans was
indicated today as White House
Architect Lorenzo S. Winslow an
nounced that $4,000 had been
allocated by the Interior Depart
ment for this purpose and other
minor work.
Mr.. Winslow explained that the
money, part of the $1,650, 900 for all
Improvements appropriated In the
deficiency bill passed by Congress
first was allocated to the Interior
Department, which in turn allotted
the money to the Public Buildings
Administration of the Federal
Works Agency. Mr.. Winslow said
from $750,000 to 100000 of this
amount was allotted for the pro-
posed additions to the west wing.
Representative Smith, Democrat,
of Virginia said he would decide
today on introducing q resolution
requesting that plans to remodel the
White House be held up so men,
bers OF Congress could give further
study to the suggested changes.
Representative Brown, Repuhli-
can, of Ohio said he would support
Mr.. Smiths resolution, If presented.
He said "the Appropriations Com
mittee members should consult with
the President" on these proposed
additions, adding he was opposed to
any plans that would spoil the pres
ent lines of the White House or
grounds. The Ohio Representative
said many members of Congress felt
the historic view of the building and
the White House ground should not
be altered, though there was no OBJ
lection to changes which would not
affect the traditional perspective
OF the presidential home.
Mr.. WinSlow said his assistants
are going ahead with the work. He
said he would be delighted to show
and to discuss the plans with any
members of Congress. He also an
nounced that members OF the Com
mission Of Fine Arts will meet at
the White House Monday. Mr.
Winslow said he will show them
progress made to date and consider
recommendations made by them.
