U.S.. ENVOY REPORTS

Mr.. and Mrs. Paul Nilsson, Ameri-

tured by Turkish nationalists early
in June after they left the French
lines in Cilicia, have been returned
safely to Tarsus, according to a re-
port received by the American High
Commissioner in Constantinople and
forwarded to the State Departme MT
today.
The message to the department
said that the report had been re-
ceived from a good authority and
that efforts were being made to con-
firm it promptly. Previous steps
which had been taken to obtain the
release of the Americans included
the dispatch of a destroyer to Mer-
sina, where 1t was reported once
that the Wilson's were being held,
the sending of an airplane to Tarsus
and the seizure of Turkish hostages
by the French to insure the safety

.DRIVEFOR new
HEADLIGHT LAW
City Club Will Appoint
Committee to Study D. c.
Requirements.

A vigorous drive for the enact
ment of a new anti-glare headlight
law for the District will be
launched at once by the Public
Safety Group of the City Club, ac-
cording to a decision reached last
night at a meeting of the group at
the clubhouse. Farragut Square.
A committee will be appointed
to make an exhaustive study OF the
question.
The District Commissioners will
be ascked to hold a public hearing
and later to prepare such headlight
regulations as they may deem wise.
w. Pearce Rayner pointed out
that the new Maryland headlight
law makes ii imperative for the
District to enact similar legislation.
Next winter, about the time Con-
gross reconvenes, the Public Safety
Group intends to launch a drive for
the establishment of a Traffic Court
for the District.
THE present handling of traffic
law violations in the Police Court
is an absolute fizzle," said Mr.. Ray
ner.
The group authorized the ar
pointment of committees on fire
prevention. police, elevator safety
devices, safety in the public schools,
traffic. river and harbor protection,
law enforcement, and street and in
terror lighting. These committees
will be named by the chairman
soon.

Destruction of the height Of future

bulldogs would 'front.' is the sub
stance6f a tentative rule of the
District zoning Commission. The
rule. IL carried into force, would

streets. G street is 100 feet wide.
making it impossible for a ten-story
building to be erected under the
commissions regulation.
Plans Not Final.
Engineer Commissioner Charles
w. Kutz, chairman of the Zonlng
Commission, told members of the
City Club, at their weekly luncheon
meeting yesterday what the commits
sion intended to do in regard to the
height of further building in the
city.
He made II plain that the COM
missions plans at present are not
final. but are open to comment and
criticism of the public.

building height. THAT city knows

velopment of property values"
Maximum Height Planned.
The club was told that a maxi
mum height of 110 feet for build
ings was planned by the commits
sion. No minimum height has been
established, kutz said.
George Washington tried to
make a minimum height of 35 feet
for buildings on Pennsylvania ave-

mission in regard to homes.

semi-detached homes in suburbs is

Kutz said that the commission at
present was against allowing apart
ment houses to be built on the city
outskirts.
Maps illustrating Col. Kutz's talk
showed the commission planned es-
;ablishment of business districts on
Connecticut avenue from Macomb
street to Chevy Chase circle, and on
Wisconsin avenue as far as Conduit
road Analostan Island has been
zoned for the gas plant to be
erected there.
Col kutZ said the commission
would not work without the aid of
the public. He said that the Building
Zoning law, creating the commits
sion, was framed by the citizens OF
Washington. and the commission
would not function over the heads
of the people.
John l.. Weaver. prominent con-
structor. called upon the club to
support the commission. John Dolph,
