Legislators Consider
Dispersal Bill Changes
After Maryland Tour

The House Public Works SUBJ
committee considering the disper-

to discuss possible amendments
but was not expected to vote on
its report to the full committee.
Subcommittee members led by
Chairman Trimble inspected Fort
Meade and the Agricultural Re-
search Center at Beltsville yester-
day.
After driving through the Belts
vile area members felt that it
might well be the site for one or
even two Government Office build
ings. Each structure is planned to
provide space for 10000 workers
and to be on a site of about 200
acres. The visitors saw extensive
areas apparently unused.
At Fort Meade, however, the
party encountered about the same
situation it found the day before
at Fort Belvoir. The visitors were
told there was no spare land and
that the post even would like to
have a larger area. 1t now has
13,600 acres and expects to have
$1,000 troops shortly.
1t was pointed out also that Fort
Meade might be prime attack
target and therefore not a place
to establish an agency seeking to
get away from the target area of
Washington.
Representative Sasscer, Demo-
crat, of Maryland accompanied
the party since the areas inspected
are in his district. He is not a
