A bill to revive moves for q
national cultural center in
washington--this time to be
located on the Mall-was In
troduced today BY Representa-
tive Thompson. Democrat Of
New Jersey.
Mr.. Thompson was a member
of the now-defunct d. c. Au-
ditorium Commission. which
collapsed last year in q Capitol
Hill dispute over q site for its
proposed $50 million audito-
rum and cultural center. The
old commission favored a site
in Foggy Bottom. for which the
House refused to authorize Fed
eral acquisition.
Mr.. Thompson's new move
calls for appointment Of a new
Federal commission to plan and
administer a much smaller
National Capital Center Of
the Performing Arts" to be To-
Gated on the Independence ave-
nue. side of the Mall directly
south Of the National Gallery
Of Art.
That federally owned tract
was designated 20 years ago as
the site for a national art
museum. to be administered
by the Smithsonian Institution,
Mr.. Thompson said it is avail
able for the new use because
Of plans to locate the art
museum in the old Patent
once Building at Eighth and
F streets NV.
His bill. however, would make
the new center a branch of
the Smithsonian. just as the
National Gallery is. with the
proposed commission in charge
of its plans and design.
The new center would pro-
vide facilities for opera. drama,
ballet and other art forms. but
would not handle conventions
or other commercial activities,

A medical student has to be

CERAMICS NEW ROLE :
Manufacturers of domestic GER

on basic research, for aid to
education, and for "a broad con-
sumner program, according to
Richard B. Alexander, presi-
dent of the Tile Council of
America.
While the Use o. tile is thous-
ands of years old, the whole
field of ceramic engineering is
as necessary to our national
existence as tomorrow's space
ships. That's one reason why
dimeStic tile makers have
warned Congress akainSt legis-
lation that may weaken the
basic ceramic industry of pro-

NO educational program can

ceramic engineers if the basic
ceramic industry is permitted
to deteriorate in this country
as the result of unequal compe-
tition created by the influx of
foreign-made tile that is the
product of cheap labor" Alex
ander said. Use of ceramics in
the space age is still in the eX-
