Blocks Move To Disperse Key Agencies
Washington September 1 The administration sought Senate approval of a 139.8 million dollar program to disperse key federal agencies to outlying sites. Senator McKellar chairing the Appropriations Committee failed to insert the program into a 17.192 billion emergency bill funding military buildup. Senator Cordon argued the move was out of order. Senator Thomas upheld the ruling without appeal. President Truman had outlined plans to build offices near Washington for 35 000 to 40 000 federal employees to ensure operations during an air attack and ease downtown congestion. The committee vote to fund the relief bill was very close.
