FLORIDA 4. & N. STARTS
$1,000, 900 EXPANSION

100000 EXPANSION
TALLAHASSEE, Fla, July 22-
(ANP)-Florida Agricultural and
Mechanical College, headed by DR..
William H. Gray, Jr., one of the
youngest Negro college presidents
in the country, is in the midst Of a
million dollar expansion program.
DR.. Gray, who is only "a years
old, believes the postwar construc-
ton, which he describes as 'the
most generous consideration ever
given a Negro institution in so brief
a time," will help give A. & M. its
rightful place among higher insti-
tutions of learning.
The 1915 Florida legislature's
appropriation for A. & NJ, DR.. Gray
points out, was 81 per cent greater
than any other in the history of the
school. The salaries of the colleges
145 teachers have been increased
substantially. Certain curriculum
revisions and expansions have been
made possible.
Since Oct. Is, the college has re-
ceived $1,182,500 in state funds to
apply on these projects:
Construction of gymnasium and
physical education building, $685.
600; library (under construction)
$285, 900; new hospital, $250,000;
moving and renovation of present
hospital, $12, 500; erection of girls
dormitory, $150,000; renovation of
dining hall, S65,0OO; barracks for
130 married veterans, $50, 1000; bar
racks for $50 single veterans, $685.
600; renovation of science hall,
$4,000.
The college hopes to augment the
$250,000 !. hospital appropriation
from some other source and build
an 80-bed hospital which would be
adequate for instructional purposes,
as we'll as provide medical care and
campus residence for the student
nurses. The A. & M. hospital also
serves the Negro population of
large area surrounding Tallahassee,
Florida's capital city.
DR.. Gray and a faculty commit
tee are working out an extensive
revision of the curriculum designed
to provide an educational program
which will meet the practical and
specific needs of Florida's Negro
youth!
In the nursing program, an af
filiation has been entered into with
the Duval County hospital in Jack
sonville. This provides for reduc-
ing the residence period for stu
dent nurses at the college from five
years to four. An additional year
would be spent at the Duval hos
pital under Miss Dolly Mack, R. NJ,

The idea of harnessing atomic
energy to turn Western deserts into
farms attracted official notice to-
day even as a new Federal agency
came into being to plumb the depths
of scientific possibilities.
President Truman, seeking to
plug the gap left when Congress
adjourned without setting up a
projected National Science Founda-
ton, created his own presidential
research board and handed it this
assignment:
ITO insure that the scientific per-
sonnel, training and research facili-
ties of the Nation are used most
effectively in the national interest" T."
SteeIman Heads Group.
At its head the President placed
Reconversion Director John R.
Steelman. and among the IL other
members are Secretaries of Agri-
culture Anderson. Commerce Har-
rinlan and Interior Krug.
Almost simultaneously with the
White House announcement late
yesterday, Undersecretary of the
Interior Oscar L. Chapman told a
reporter that one of the top econo-
mists of the Interior Department
had been discussing with him the
possibilities of using atomic energy
to purify sea water and then pump
1t inland to irrigate desert areas.
Declaring that the economist is
not visionary" Mr.. Chapman
added: "He is scientist, speaking
of the scientific possibilities OF this
generation"
Mr.. Krug, asserting later that Il
share the enthusiasm and I hope
the imagination of my colleagues"

Unit to Guide Federal Research
In Science Named by Truman

added to a newSman that he pre-
ferred to withhold comment for the
time being on whether he might

ly to the research board.
Provides Federal Aid.
As projected in bill which passed
the Senate earlier this year but
failed to reach House vote, the
National Science Foundation would
have lent Federal financial aid to
various research projects as well
as provided scholarships for poten-
tial future scientists.
These things still must await
Congressional action, but the new
board will attempt to lay the
groundwork for specific research
projects when they can be under
taken.
In his executive order setting up
the board, Mr.. Truman said:
THE Nation has a vast reservoir
of war accelerated chronological de-
velopment which must be applied
speedily and effectively to the prob
lens of peace-stepping up produc-
tivity in both industry and agricul-
ture, creation of new farm and
factory products and advancement

Truman Contradicted
Palestine Promises,
Ibn Saud Charges
BY the Assoeioisd Press

LONDON, Oct. 18.-King Ibn
Saud of Saudi Arabia charged yes
terday in letter to President Tru-
man that the latter's call for open
ing the gate of Palestine to more
Jews was in complete contradic-
ton" to a Presidential assurance to
the Arabs and violated previous
promises" made to them.
The letter, released by the Saudi
Arabian legation in London, said
Ibn Saud had never ceased to
point out that the Jews were aggres-
sors from the start" in the Holy
Land and mentioned the sincere
friendship he enjoyed with Mr..
Truman and the late President
Roosevelt.
Met Roosevelt at Suez.
Ibn Saud, monarch in a land
where the Americans have rich oil
concessions and are proceeding now
with plans for an oil pipeline
through the country, met with Pres
ident Roosevelt aboard an Ameri-
can warship in the Suez Canal
after the Big Three meeting at
Yalta.
Mr.. Roosevelt, week before he
died, sent word to Ibn Saud that he
would take no action in Palestine
hostile to the Arab people.
Ibn Saud said to President Tru-
man that he could not hide my
great surprise on hearing of GER
tain declarations attributed to you,
supporting the Jews and demanded
the immediate admission of their
emigrants into Palestine, thus dis
turbing the present conditions in
these lands, without any due regard
to all the previous promises given
the Arabs
He added that his surprise was
even greater as this new declara-
ton was in completed contradic-
ton" to a statement from the White
House in August that the United
States had no intention Of coming
forward with suggestions for solu-
ton of the Palestine problem.
Legation Issued Statement.
i lon Saud said the statement,
WlllLll npPIdlCo AL tliC Olhkid1 VA

issued by the United States Legation
in Jeddah. He said it expressed
hope that the London conference on
Palestine would reach solution and
said the United States was pre-
pared to facilitate admission Of
Jews into its own territory.
The conference, which was not
attended by either Palestine Jews or
Arabs, adjourned without result.
+ Ibn Saud declared that the Jews
pleaded at first humanitarian acts
for their hostile acts. in which they
perservered with utmost brutality.
