CHANGES PLANNED
AT NEARBY CAMP
CONTINUED From Page One)

buildings which it is hoped congress
will authorize, developed
Lieut.. Alden E. Specs, executive
officer in the office of the construct
ing quartermaster said yesterday
morning the Coast Artillery has
made requests for a change in loca-
ton of certain buildings so that men
of a unit will be housed in the same
sector of the camp and for addi-
tional buildings which 1t is hoped
congress will authorize The location
of buildings, originally planned is
now being changed to meet the re-
quest.
The constructing quartermaster,
he pointed out, has no authority to
erect more buildings than originally
planned, but in view Of the fact the
requests may be granted, the loca-
ton Of buildings has been changed
so that if and when they are granted
the plan of the camp will still allow
the housing of all men in any one
unit in one sector of the camp.
Colonel James B. Crawford, COM
manding officer Of the camp, said
it is not anticipated at this time
that the total number Of men at
the camp will be increased but that
the men allotted to the camp will
be r~e-allocated among the units.
For example, he said, the camp
originally was planned so that a
searchlight unit consisting Of liza
men would be housed together. New
plans, he said, put 261 men in a
searchlight battery and fewer men
in some other types Of units.
New blue prints of the camp lay
out were sent to the camp Monday
afternoon, Lieut.. Specs said, and
