Retired Officers To Hold Meeting The Intermountain Retired Of- ficers Association will hold a meeting on September 23 at the Officers Open Mess at Fort Douglas in Salt Lake City.

Those members who wish to attend the meeting and need hotel or motel accommodations may request them through the secretary of the organization, Wallace Bixby of dugway Proving Ground. A revised vehicle and personnel entry control for Dugway Proving Ground went into effect Wednesday with the of the Ditto Technical Center guard gate and a modified system at the main gate which will afford an easier access to certain areas of the installation. Captain Thomas E. OMalley, Dugway Provost Marshal, stated that die new system will greatly reduce the delay at the main gate during rudi periods. Under this, policy, if the vehicle has a DPG decal, only the driver will have to show an identification card, O'Malley said. AT THE Ditto gate however, each occupant will have to present either an identification card or a restricted area badge. However, persons not now having restricted area badges will not be required to acquire badges. CPT O'Malley also announced several changes concerning the control of visitors to the installation. A Visitors access form is now available at the security building and in many offices and persons residing on Dugway who are expecting visitors can fill out this form aid submit it to the security office. These will be kept on file at the main gate and when the expected visit-m-s arrive they will be directed to die sponsors office or residence, OMalley stated. This will eliminate the present visitors pass for the English Village area and there will be no requirement by the sponsor to sign anything when the visitor departs. If a visitor not possessing an ID card, is going into Ditto Technical Center he should clear through die security division at. Building No. 5438 and pick up a visitors pass prior to going to the technical area, O'Malley stated. If they are not cleared there will be a delay at the Ditto gate while, first they are cleared through there and then while a visitors pass is issued. During y hours personnel wishing to pass through the Ditto gate will be closely checked to insure that they are entering the area for official business purposes only, OMalley continued, Sightseeing will not be allowed. THE VISITORS access form which is overprinted mi DA Form 2496 can also be used to allow the entrance of large groups such as riding clubs, bands or athletic teams coming to the installation to participate in activities in the English Village or Fries Park area. Under the new concept, military police will be on duty at the main gate and members of the security guard force will man the Ditto gate. MAJOR KENNETH W.
