Whelan, com mander of the Umatilla Army IVpot, gave his listeners at the Heppner-MorroW county Cham ber of Commerce an Idea of the magnitude of the depot and Its Importance lit serving the armed forces when he address ed the group Monday. The depot, which has 1018 buildings and covers almost 20.000 acres, ships in and out about 20.000 tons uf supplies per month, he said. Annual payroll Is about $7.5 million per year of which $5.5 to $6 million funnels into IK'r mlston where most of the em ployees live. Present work force numbers 861 persons, but this has ranged as high as 1132 at one time. "If the war ends, we will have an upsurge coming; in," Col. Whelan said. Several thousand types of items have been re turned from Vietnam to be classified and put in storage. Sales will be held for the pub lic this summer on some of these returned items, he added. The Umatilla depot, land for which was purchased at a cost of $26,000, is valued at some $75 million today. "Its true value is probably closer to $30 million," the col onel said. It has 186 miles of roads and 53 miles of railroads. The depot can handle 1100 rail road cars in its classification yards. Besides handling. storing, shipping and preparing ammu nition, the depot has a supply of critical metals, and has such things as piping and water pur ification units. It uses Pendleton airport for air cargo, is served by motor transport, and also uses barge operations that come within 3 Mi miles, from where materials re hauled to and from the depot by truck. The depot has Its own rail way system and has an airstrip for smaller aircraft. It has Its own fire department, its own cafeteria, and a dispensary, as well as an automatic data pro cessing system in the adminis tration building. About half of the depot's ac reage lies In Morrow county, and the remainder Is In Uma tilla county. Among Items, as well as am munition, that have been pre pared for shipment to Vietnam are such things as sandbags. cots, mattresses, fuels and lu bricants. The depot makes some of Its own machinery, maintains us own equipment, works on rocx. et motors, and packages and re' packages ammunition. It also stores toxics In tne lorm oi nerve gasses and mustard gasa es. In regard to the safety factor, Col. Whelan, who Is to snip out for Vietnam late In the forth coming summer, said that some of the gasses are stored "In a tank within a tank within a tank within a tank" to be sure that leakage doesnt occur. Most of the ammunition leavng the Umatlla Depot goes to Bangor, Wash., for snip ping by boat. None of the bombs handled at the depot are fused, and thus. handling them is considered very safe. However, the depot has an active safety program and every safety precaution is taken, down to wearing spark prof shoes. One explosion occurred In a storage igloo in 1944. Col. Whelan was accompanied here by his wife, who was al so a guest of the Chamber. Pres ident Jerry Sweeney introduced the speaker. All You Can Eat! hrove Tuesday Sponsored by EPISCOPAL.
