ARCHITECTS FAVOR BUILDING CONTROL Treasury Consultants Ap- prove Proposal for Har- mony Along Avenue. Approval of the proposal that pri- vately owned buildings on the north side of Pennsylvania avenue, facing the proposed new Government build- ings, shall harmonize with them, has en given by the board of architecturat consultants of the Treasury Depart- ment, according to a letter from Sec-| retary of Treasury Mellon received by the National Capital Park and Plan-| ning Commission. | The latter: organization has béen working for some time on a plan for| getting private bufldings on the. north | side under control, but particularly with | regard to the exterior appearance. The | body is sponsoring @ bill niow in Con- | gress which would give this authority | 1o the Government. However, some ob- jections to the measure were found by | District government officials, on the | ground that it was too broad, in that, | as originally written, it would give the | Government authority to control the | exterior appearance of structures front- | ing on any Government reservation, | which was interpreted to include even | small parking spaces, of which there| are scores, | The commission is particularly anx- | Jous that at least some control should be given over the structures on the| north side of the Avenue, so that when | the Government construction is com- | pleted, it will not be detracted from by | hi;phazam construction on the opposite | &ide. : ‘Will Appeal to Owners Until congressional authority is given them to take charge, it is understood that efforts will be made to have owuers of property contemplating replacement of buildings now there confer with the | Government officials with a view to get- | ting their consent to make the private buildings conform to the Government architecture to some extent. This legis- | lation was recently laid before repre- sentatives of local trade and civic bod- des, and their support asked by Licut. Col. U. S. Grant, 3d, executive officer of the planning commission. Subse- quently, copies of the legislation were sent-to them so that those present at the conference might take it up before their respective bodies with a view to ?cnkmg a report before Congress con- nes. Secretary Mellon in his letter said that the following action was taken by the board of architectural consultants: “It was the sense of the board that some procedure should be set up to in- | sure that the design of such buildings 25 may be constructed in the future on the north side of Pennsylvania avenue shall take into account the belt courses, skyline and the material and treatment of the Federal buildings on the south side of Pennsylvania avenue.” The park commission had previously recommended a uniform cornice line on the north side buildings, and that the bottom story of the buildings on the north side be finished in the same kind of stone as the Federal ‘buildings, and also that anything abové the cor- nice line as was authorized by the zoning commission regulations. should | THE SUNDAY STAR, WASHINGTON, D. C. NOVEMBER 18, 1928—PART 1. Man Admits Fraud, Dies After Judge ( Imposes Sentence | | By the Assoctated Press. CHICAGO, November 17—Carl R. Bruce, 52, was arrested on a confidence charge last August. Tubercular, he lay in the county Jail until arraignment yesterday. Despite advice of an attorney, | he pleaded “guilty.” “Ome t6 10 years _in Joliet | 7| prison is the best I cari*do,” said | | the court. “ | “Yes, 1 know,” responded Brude, “but T'll not live to serve it out.” Returned to jail, a guard went to tell Bruce to prepare for the trip_to Joliet. Bruce was dead. Sun Spots Solar Storms.

SENATORS ACCUSED AT RADI HEARING Counsel for Station Owned by Utilities Says Free " SpeechIs' Assailed. By the Associated Press. The Federal Radio Commission hear- ing on the requests of three Chicago stations for changes in the recent broadcasting assignments closed' yester~ “|day. aftet John E. Wing,. counsel for Station WENR declared “unsworn” tes- timony given by Senators Walsh of Montana, Norris of Nebraska and Brookhart of Iowa revealed “an effort to deprive utilities corporations of broadcasting facilities which amounts to a breach of free speech.” Call for Documents, Commissioner Sykes said immedi- ately afterward that the evidence in the hearing will not be taken under ad- visement by the commission until cer- tain documents, including charters of the seven public utilities corporations which jointly own WENR, are received. The charters of these corporations were demanded by Frank Scott, counsel for Station WLS, operated by the Prairie Farmer. The three Senators concurred in Scott’s declaration that utilities cor- porations may not legally broadcast un- Wintry winds near? Why worry?

Counsel for WLS, and for the other station in the hearing, WCBD, operated by Wilbur Glenn Voliva of Zion City, waived closing arguments. Charges Ignorance. “The testimony of the Senators showed an fignorance of the facts given ; in this hearing which was amazing,” Wing declared. “It was based on an| admittedly widespreaqs rumor of a suspicion that there is a sinister pur- on the part of utilities- corpora- i tions to controi public opinion through broadcasting--for which there is no supporting evidence.” Wing_called Senator Walsh's resolu- tion, which resulted in the Federal | Trade Commission’s present investiga- tion of utilities corporations “an in- vasion of the Federal Government into the ‘rights of soverign States.” Three Famous Storms. ‘The “great storm” of 1703 is supposed to have been the most severe tempest that ever visited the British Isles and forms the subject of an Interesting book by Defoe, the author of “Robin- son Crusoe,” says the Nature Magazine.

E. Brown and William S. Shelby, condemn- ing traffic signal lights recently installed | on Rhode Island avenue as “unsatisfac- | tory” and “liable to cause accidents,” will be sent to Traffic Director William | H. Harland for eomment by Commis- | sioner Proctor L. Dougherty before any action is taken to remedy the situation | complained of in the report. Mr. Harland said yesterday that he had not yet seen the report, and that | he was unwilling to comment on it un- til_it came before him officially. Drastic changes, involving removal of 12 of the lights, were recommended in | Brown's original report, and indorsed in a commentary by Inspector Shelby. suggested two alternative ] schemes to end the “confusion” which he stated the lights caused. The first called for making one-way streets out of Q. R, S and T streets for one block on either side of their inter- sections witl hode Island avenue. | The second was to place “Stop” signs where these streets enter Rhode Island avenue, waich is an arterial highway. In either event, the fouowlnhllghu are recommended for removal: Four at | the Q street intersection, one at Sixth and R streets, four at the R street in- tersection, one at Florida and Rhode Island avenues and two at Rhode Island avenue and T street. The trouble. is caused by conflicting signals.
