Washington Snapshots By JAMES PRESTON Nominated for whatever niche there is for professional Worries, is the little group of government officials whose job it is to find office space for Federal departments, agencies, commissions, boards, committees and divisions. The worries of the space finders were negligible in days of old when farmers could plant what they pleased, when Joe Doe could sit down and have a heart to heart talk with his boss without the latter being hauled up before a board on charges of coercion, and when leaning on a shovel or raking leaves was a personal exercise done in one’s own yard or garden. But not so today, for new thousands of clerks, stenographers, theorists and economists have come to Washington to teach ®ew tricks and ways of doing things by economic planning and regulation. That is why the space procurement officials of the Interior Department are having such a difficult time of it and thus qualify as professional worriers. An idea of the size of their problem right now is found in these figures: Although more than 120 buildings in Washington are owned and occupied by one government agency or another (a total of 12,845,613 square feet of floor space) the space finders have had to rent 118 buildings, or 3,250,000 more square feet, to quarter the planners. And there is still an acute shortage. The capital just isn’t big enough. Even the Social Security Board had to move most of its activities to Baltimore. The Wage-Hour Administration is the latest of the major problems. The space finders can’t even find a suitable building to rent for the thousands of employes that will be ■needed by this newest agency. I A commission appointed to help the space finders find space for other commissions has reported, incidentally, that by 1947 an additional 8.808,056 square feet will be needed—if the expansion of government activity continues at its present pace. Washington gossipers are saying that the $500,000 monopoly investigation, which is now getting under way, may be exciting. Some of the Brain Busters want it so. But it would not be if it were based, as Chairman O’Mahoney wishes, on facts and not fancy. Businessmen have offered to cooperate fully with the investigators, and the businessmen will be prepared to offer actual facts. And the facts won’t be what some of the Brain Busters had hoped they would be. Incidentally, the gossipers are saying, too, that the investigators are going to ask the new Congress for a $3,000,000 fund to go deeper into the question of alleged monopolies. That would be the largest sum ever asked for any investigation by a Federal investigating committee. As for importance (and byway of comparison} the Dies committee was given only $25,000 to investigate un-American activities (Communism Fascism, etc.). Dies’ job is a big’ one. It is to develop how foreign influences, like termites, (Continued on Page 2)
