Declaring a large number of Wash- Ingtonians were not reached by solicl- | tors during the recent campaign of | the Community Chest, Herbert E.| Willett, jr., Chest director. urged these citizens yesterday to come for- | ward now with their con'rmuth)nsv and thus help to reduce the $120,000 deficit in the campaign fund.

About $1,000 has been re- ceived from key men in the Group Bolicitation Unit as well. More than 169,000 Washingtonians | gubscribed to the Chest in the No- | vember campaign. Funds to Be Reallocated. Under the present final condition, | every one of the 65 agencies in the Chest will be compelled to curtail its | work to some extent during 1936. The | Budget Committee will take over the‘ task of reallocating the funds ob- | tained in the campaign and will en- deavor to see that the least possible | hardship is brought about, through the failure of the Chest to reach its goal.

After more than three years trying to solve the problem of rented quar- ters, Ickes finds the Government is now renting 2,500,000 square feet of office space. With a shortage of available business property, the Gov- ernment has been forced to rent two town houses, two apartment buildings and the Washington Auditorium in recent months. The inquiry started by the fire in the Post Office Building was two- fold. While the question of extend- ing District government fire inspec- tion to Federal buildings was fore- most, Interior Department officlals— who have supervision over Federal buildings in Washington—were only a little less concerned over the present unsafe and inadequate storage facili- ties for the irreplaceable records of the Government. They recalled that as long ago as September 18, 1934, Secretary Ickes had allotted funds for the extension of the -Archives Building. Inquiries developed that the first contract fioally had been awarded unknown to high officials of the National Park Service and the Publicc Works Ad- ministration. Whether completion of the exten- sions and filing stacks fully answers the suggestions made in some quarters yesterday for a hall of records for storage purposes is not known. Offi- cials, however, were confident the 3,500,000 cubic feet of extra storage space to be made available eventually in the Archives Building probably would take care of most of the needs in this respect. Space Available Soon. Within the next month it was an- «ounced that approximately 1,000,000 cubic feet of stack space in the new Archives Building will be available for historical records. There are several of these stacks, and officials said at least one will be retained to start the filing of records which are to go into the new stacks when they are built. ‘The records,cannot be moved iato survey is completed and the Advisory Council on Archives decides which are | to be accommodated first. This sur- | vey, it was said, will disclose a lot of | be eliminated. | John Russell Pope, architect, orig- | inally planned the monumental Ar- chives Building so that the installa- | tion of the stacks in the inner court | could be accomplished with a min- imum of expense and time. The stacks were planned in looking ahead | 15 or 20 years to the needs of the | Government. For this reason the space should be ample to meet all JoE HiGH| | INCORPORATED I'OUR PLUMBER Men Appreciate the Archives Building now until a | @ duplicate copies of records which can | _' emergency needs after the stacks are | finished. The new Archives Building pro- vides the latest and most approved methods of fire protection. A heat detection system is used instead of the usual sprinkling system, which was found not so well suitable for archives. By this system, it was said, the slightest change in temperature from normal would set off an alarm to warn guards. Under any circum- stances, the very rigid inspection and guard service for the archives would make it practically impossible for any fire to gain headway before it is ob- | served. Will Aid Office Problem. Completion of the extension, prob- ably about the time the new $12,000,- 000 Interior Department Building is ready for occupancy, should go a long way toward solving the Government’s problem of office space, unless the New Deal is in for another era of expansion. First it will release the large space in permanent Govern- ment buildings now utilized for the storage of records. This not only will permit the equipping of these buildings with fireproof storage rooms for the records which are to be re- tained but also will provide addi- tional office space for employes.
