BY the Associated Press.


The Federal Housing Administra-
ton has relaxed some Of its build
ing rules, declaring 1t desires to en-
courage private builders of rental
housing.
simultaneously yesterday, the
agency announced it will seek the
cooperation of industry and lend
ing institutions through series OF
country-wi meetings, beginning

Major objectives of the drive will
be to stimulate construction Of

guide" rather than a strict rule
thus allowing local FILA officials
to ease requirements on size oi
yards, ventilation, type of con-
struction, size of rooms and similar
matters.
Among other things, the new
program will also permit revision OF
cost estimates, where justified by
increased construction costs. Rent
ceilings are based on costs.
The changes apply primarily tc
housing built under the FHA sys-
tenn of mortgage insurance. The
FILA insures payments on mort.

Of Secretary OF State Byrnes' re-
fusal to move from the old State
Department Building, left left dou-
bly, complicated today by announce
ment that Gen. Marshall will be-
come Secretary Of State and may
have some ideas on the subject Of
the housing Of the department.
Word Of Mr.. Byrnes' resignation
came when public buildings chiefs,
ofilcial housekeepers of the Govern
ment plant here, were preparing
arguments aimed at changing Mr..
Byrnes' mind about moving his staff
to the new War Department Build
ing at Twenty-first street and Vir-
ginia avenue NV.
They had the moving program
worked out before Secretary Byrnes
got back from conferences In New
York and Paris. A chain Of moves
was to have taken place involving
more than a score of agencies and
bureaus.
Today they were in a quandary
over whether to continue attempt
ing to work out a compromise based
on Mr.. Byrnes' views or to wait
until Gen. Marshall gets back from
China on the theory he will have
his own ideas about where he'd like
to have the department operate.
AS sidelight to the situation, sew
eral agencies who had been prom
ised offices now occupied by the
State Department were reported as
becoming increasingly disturbed that
the promises are not being kept.
Chief among these was the Inter-
national Bank and Monetary Fund,
which had been guaranteed occu-
pancy of 1918 H street NV, now
used by some of Undersecretary of
State Will Clayton's economic ex-
perts.
The economic group was to have
gone to the old State Building as
soon as Mr.. Byrnes and the core"
of the department moved to Twenty
first street and Virginia avenue.
