    3. Bloomington (Monroe County, Indiana) Daily Herald Telephone, June 24, 1955, p. 1. Note: The item below was abbreviated from the original as shown by the ellipsis. ARMY LEASES NEW RSERVE QUARTERS; PLANS EXPANSION Five-year Agreement Signed for Fell Building; Plan Move to New Facilities after Camp Training Army Reserve Headquarters will move into new and bigger headquarters July 1, it was announced today after a 5-year lease was signed on the Fell Building at 4th and Rogers. The least was signed after several months deliberation by Army authorities, Irvin Fell, owner of the building, and Sarkes-Tarzian officials. Tarzian had been using the building as storage space for broadcasting equipment. Capt. Eugene Bowers said the move of headquarters offices will be made July 1, but the remainder of the training facilities will be left at the old headquarters on South College until the troops return from active summer training duty. The Reserves will occupy only the main and upper floors of the building and Tarzian has retained a lease on the basement. Officials of that company said it will try to sublease that space. Tarzian officials said the building is now being vacated.. (Bowers) reasoned that facilities at the Chamber of Commerce building, where headquarters are presently located, are not sufficient to handle existing units.Local reserve units now consist of nine units with 130 men. Plans for expansion call for nearly 250. Units now set up in Bloomington are companies "C" and "A" of the 329th Infantry Regiment; the 20th CIC Detachment; the 445th and the 480th Strategic Intelligence Detachments; Command General Staff School, Division Level; Judge Advocate General School, Blade Course; 406th Military Government Company and the Medical Units of the 329th Infantry Regiment.
