Washington Housed as Agencies Shift Rooms Across City
Federal space chief Harold Ickes reports progress in reshuffling government offices to ease cramped quarters in Washington. The Guffey Coal Commission, Internal Revenue Bureau, Farm Credit Administration, and Federal Trade Commission expand into remodeled Potomac Park and Rochambeau Premier apartments, with Supreme Court Justice McReynolds previously housed in Rochambeau. A new home for the Federal Reserve Board will start after demolition of a temporary WWI structure. Ickes contemplates moving some agencies to relieve acute space shortage.
