BeIasco Theater Use
For New York Plays
Predicted by Adkins

A prediction that the Belasco
Theater in Lafayette Park, now a
storehouse for the Treasury, soon
will be used for professional the
atrical productions from New York
was made yesterday by David c.
Adkins.
Mr.. Adkins. a promoter of educa-
tional and cultural projects, spoke
at meeting of persons interested
in the founding of an art center
In Washington. The meeting was
held in the American University
Building at 1911 F street NV.
He said the plan his associates
have is to revive charter granted
by Congress in 1885 authorizing
establishment of national theater
and artistic center undef the title
of the American National Theater
and Academy. Mr.. Adkins said the
charter was granted at behest of a
group who had interested the late
Otto Kahn of New York and the
late E. T. Stotesbury of Philadelphia
in the establishment of a national

stitutions.
The plan became dormant in the
depression, Mr.. Adkins said, but New
York theatrical figures, including
Vinton Freedley, producer, and
Robert E. Sherwood, playwright, are
still on the board. Mr. Adkins said
he was to meet with Mr.. Sherwood
in New York today to discuss the
plan.
He said Treasury officials were
willing to turn the theater over to
the American National Theater and
Academy to be operated on non
profit basis. The plan is that the
projected washington Arts Center
Association will serve to build audi
ences for the theater, he said.
Mr.. Adkins said Mrs. j. Borden
Hartman, former Ambassador to
Norway; Mrs. Clifford Pinchot. Mrs.
Raymond Clapper and Mrs. Leslie

of this project and others Of a cul-
tural nature in Washington. Daniel

Waste Products Used
In New Brick Process
BY the Assoeioied Press

NEW BRUNSWICK, N. j., Aug
28.-Development of a new process
for making building bricks from two
heretofore worthless waste products
was announced today by DR.. John
H. Koenig, director of the New Jer-
sey Ceramics Research Station at
Rutgers University.
The new brick, described by him
as cheaper and stronger than those
made from clay, is manufactured
from fly ash collected in SCOT pre-
cipitators placed in industrial smoke
stacks, and Stag collected from the
bottom of furnaces in which pow
dered soft coal has been burned
Mr.. Koenig said the outstanding
economic aspect of the new brick
is the location of the raw materials
in areas where the demand for the
product is greatest. He added that
utility companies alone produce
about 100000 tons of fly ash and
Stag year.
The new product, Mr.. Koenig
said, was developed by William H.
Bauer of South River, a former
Army Air Forces major and Rutgers
graduate. Mr.. Bauer worked for
almost two years under a graduate
fellowship to devise a use for fly
ash and Stag. The fellowship was
