At the same time, the board was to approve the employment of Randolph Evans as architect on the project at the suggestion of the Board of Higher Education. It was the preliminary plans drawn by Evans which Washington approved in sanctioning a loan yesterday for construction of the college. Indications are that Mayor La-Guardla will call a special meeting of the Board of Estimate to put the machinery in action for pushing the project following the approval of the loan by President Roosevelt yestreday.

The securing of the grant and loan was hailed by civic and educational leaders. Since its foundation, Brooklyn College has been housed in various rented quarters In the Borough Hall area. The new project calls for construction of five fireproof buildings with a spacious campus. The college's present enrollment of more than 10,000 day and night students will be materially increased, and It is freely predicted that within the next decade It will become the largest public institution for higher education in the world. Ready Summer of Next Tear There was considerable speculation today as to whether the Roosevelt Administration had elected to make exceptions in its widely announced policy of not utilizing any of the $4,800,000,000 Works Relief program money except on projects that will be completed by July 1, 1936.

Leading authorities have Insisted that It will take at least 24 months to carry out the Brooklyn College plans; thus, if the estimates are accurate and there is no delay, the structures would not be ready for occupancy until July 1, 1937, 12 months beyond the limit set by the Washing-ton authorities. When this matter was called to the attention of Secretary Ickes he flatly declined to comment However, the feeling is that the President has elected to make an exception in the matter. i The funds advanced for the project represent about 45 tier cent. of what Mayor LaGuardia sought from the ederal Government Sea .2 Real Estate Board; Thomas A.

Meridian, June 28.

Fred and Al Key drove their crippled and oil-stained "Ole Miss" through its 24th day of continuous flight today in an effort to stay aloft three days longer than the unof flciai world record for refueling endurance flights. The haggard young brothers passed the five-year-old official record, established by John and Kenneth Hunter, at P. E. D. yesterday, and established a tentatively official new record an hour later.

The Hunter brothers' time, made at Chicago in June, 1930, was 653 hours, 41 minutes, 30 seconds. Freshly bathed, shaven and dressed in clean clothing taken aloft by a young student flyer manning the supply ship, Fred and Al boasted over their radio telephone that "we'll come down and help celebrate the Fourth of July maybe." Their audlblo over radio amplifiers to 10,000 persons around the Municipal Airport, renamed "Key Airport" yesterday, were jubilant and full of new vigor. The record at which the brothers are aiming now is the 647 hour mark hung up by Dale Jackson and Forrest O'Brien at St. Louis. The Jackson-O'Brien record was refused recognition by the National Aeronautical Association because the flyers' barograph was not properly authenticated.

(Cop-jrlcM, Mi, bv United PrcM) London, June 21. A fresh disagreement between Great Britain and France was reported today over terms of the British-German naval agreement France, it was understood, was unwilling to accept a British invitation to send naval delegates to London until It learned the details of German naval building Intentions for the next seven years.

Germany, it was understood, held that details of her naval pro gram for these years should be disclosed to France and other powers only after they had made known their own programs to Britain. British quarters admitted that, under their agreement, the German program must be kept secret from other powers until the powers had tabled their own programs. It is the British plan that France, Italy and Russia shall send delegations to London and that these delegations will receive details of German Intentions as soon as they disclose their own. This method. It was pointed out, would make it Impossible for the French to submit supplementary construction programs to meet a future German fleet and likewise would avoid similar surprise announcements by Italy and Russia.

Creation of a Federal lottery system aa a "painless" method of raising Sl, 000,000,000 for Federal and State Governments vu urged today before a special House Ways and Means sub-committee by Rep. Edward A. Kenney, N. J.

"I do not think a lottery of this nature would Increase gambling," he said. "On the contrary. It would tend to wipe out gambling and racketeering so prevalent throughout the country." Author of three pending lottery bills, Kenney worked three years for the opportunity to present his views to a House committee. Many Congressmen have viewed tho proposals as abhorrent Strikes at Colleagues Kenney Immediately struck at them by charging that "70 per cent of the members of Congress purchase lottery tickets In one form or another, such as those sold by church aid societies, or play the numbers Kenney said he favored the latest of his three plans, which would provide for creation of a Federal lottery commission to hold lotteries that would produce up to SI, annually. Under this plan, the Federal Treasury would receive one-quarter of the total, while tho remaining three-quarters would be allocated onions the individual States according to their proportionate population.

Not True Gambling "A national lottery is not gambling in tho true sense of the word. Gambling In a technical sense, consists of engaging in games of chance with the hope of winning," Kenney said. Ho was sharply questioned by Rep. Harold Knutson, Rep. as to whether such a lottery would not take money from the poor and deprive them of the necessities of life.

"Only the people who could afford to participate would buy a ticket," Kenney retorted. "It is necessary for some of tho poor to help carry their share of the tax burden." Knutson asked: not the poor man apt to take long shots and Is not that the reason why he is poor?" Kenney said: "No." Kenney said it also would stem the flow of about (200,000,000 annually from thts country into lotteries of 30 foreign nations. "I did not have In mind bringing foreign speculators' money into this plan, but It might be a good way to get back part of the war debts," he said. Kenney said tickets should be sold through the postofflce system. "A Federal lottery would be a patriotic appeal to the country to support the Government Just as church bazaars and benevolent organizations seek contributions," eknney said.

"I do not think you would consider yourself a gambler in this case." Rep. Daniel A. Reed. N. who said that he spent five years prosecuting gambling and racketeering, contended that court decisions have always rejected lotteries.

Kenney denied that, Kenney said he had received at least 100,000 letters and petitions XT i untfCSSlS 14 WW LIFE'S NEVER HUMDRUM FOR DESPERATE AMBROSE FOLLOW HIS CAREER IN S'Matter, Pop?
