Maj. H. II. Allen Of the Red Cross
said the children were SO eager to

DEFENDS LIMITING
OF BUILDING HEIGHT
New York Architect Says
Action Will Develop Capital
on Partisan Lines.

Action of the Washington soning
commission in limiting the height Of
buildings in the downtown district to
no feet is defended by Cass Gilbert,
New York architect, in q letter re-
ceived by the commission today.
Mr.. Gilbert says the lle-foot limit
will tend to develop the National
Capital on the lines of Paris rather
than of New York or Chicago. The
architect, who was formerly a mem
Der of the Fine Arts Commission, con-
tends that since Washington is the
the height of buildings here is not .

result would be the extension Of the
