say the reason the Government s
classified employees are exempted
from wage-freeze regulations Is
that their salaries are fixed by
law.
But the salaries of Government
wage board employees are fixed
by the departments in which they
work. so there's some question as
to whether the salary control
regulations affects them.
DISPERSAL-The dispersal of
Federal agencies and employees
into outlying sites in Maryland

Immediately, it would be at least
a year before the new buildings

But most Federal. officials be-
lieve the dispersal program. which
calls for moving 10000 Federal
employees into the nearby areas,
will take much longer than year.
There are some members of
Congress who have serious objec-
tions to the program. Some feel
that dispersal to nearby areas
won't do much in the way of min
imizing enemy atomic attack dam

too costly in its present plans and
could be cut sharply.
