This would displace 10000

enthusiastic about private re-
habilitation. particularly
around the Capitol, don't like
the idea.
But displacement Is not the

according to Mr.. Finley. He said
the question unanswered In
their minds is whether an East

extension of Federal Offices.
Would this extension fiy In

ing farmers to stick to farm
ing. Farmers have protested
that they can't stay in busi-

Some persons have opposed
the proposed amendments on
the ground that spectators
