WASHINGTON. May ii.-Plans OF
the War Department for the estab-

ganiic ammunition arsenal. to be
known as the Aberdeen Ammunition
Arsenal, were revealed yesterday when
House leaders were requested 10 make
an appropriation Of s5,500OO0 for the
project.
Consideration was given 10 the sug-
gestiOn that the appropriation be in
cluded in the Sundry Civil Appro-
priation bill. upon which the House
was working, but as the bill Was
about ready for passage, the Mary
land appropriation failed 20 get In.
The appropriation will be inserted
in the bill when it gels 10 the SEN
ate, according TO the present plan.
The War Department in its request
for Congress TO take immediaL action

and Benson have been comforting with
the War Department relative TO the

formation they have given has been
helpful 10 the department In making
its decision.
The appropriation is to be obtained
through the salvage OF ammunition
plants constructed during the war at
Tullytown, Pa; MalOl n. j., and
jacksonville, Tenn. These plants are
to be abandoned and the entire ammu-
milton production Of the Government
concentrated at Aberdeen.
70 Is known the plans have been
adopted by the War Department after

GERS who investigated the variou,
I Government projects Through lOca-
ton and concentration Of the ammuni-
, tion production at Aberdeen the Wal
Department expects 10 increase The
/ efficiency Of that department. and also
/ 10 effect a considerable saving, both

plants and IN the future maintenanc,
