URGES UNIFORM HEIGHT
WITH FEDERAL BUILDINGS
Fine Arts Commission Asks Au-
thority to Regulate Construction
Proposed on Avenue.

Holding that uniformity as to build
ing height lines is as necessary on the
north side of Pennsylvania Avenue as
on the south side, where the Govern.
ment building program will bring an
imposing row of structures from Fiji
teenth street to the Capitol. the Com.
mission of Fine Arts is planning to
discuss at its meeting the second week
in December a move to keep the struc-
lures on the north side of the Avenue
at a regulation height. Authority to
bring this about now rests only in the
hands of the District Commissioners.
but the Commission Of Fine Arts
would bring such power within the
scope of control of the fine arts body
and the National Capital Park and
Planning Commission, under a bill
now being prepared for presentation
to Congress similar to the Shipstead
measure introduced at the last session.
The commission believes that uni.
formly high row of structures on the
south side of Pennsylvania Avenue
should be balanced by buildings of
similar height or at least Of uniform
height on the north side.

GANG MAY GIVE UP
POWER FOR PEACE
Capone and Lombardo Re-
ported Ready to CapituIate
to Prevent Killings.
By the Associated Press.

CHICAGO, November 26-Surrender
Of power held by Al Capone, gang
ruler, and Anthony Lombardo, presi-
dent of the Unione Siciliano, was re-
ported by the Chicago Herald and Ex-
aminer today as the first step in a
truce to end hostilities in the present
gangland warfare.
Joe Aiello. recently arrested in con-
nection with an alleged plot to as
sassinate Capone, will become virtual
head of the unione, the paper said.
Meeting to BE Held.
Aiello, Capone, Lombardo and repre-
sentatives of several other gangs will
meet next week in the office of well
known politician, who has never been
connected with any gangs, but who
will act in the role of mediator, the
paper said.
The account continued that the real
dictators in the move for peace are a
group of influential New York men
who control the Unione Siciliano, to
which the Chicago unione pays regu-
lar tribute.
While Capone and Lombardo are re-
iuctant to accept the proposed peace
terms, they are reported fearful of an
alleged alliance of Aiello with the
powerful George Moran. The paper
quotes Capone as saying: I'm ready
to do anything to prevent more kill
ing. Make Aiello, Moran and the
others agree to attend the conference
without guns or gunner. Lombardo
and / will meet them. And We'll leave
our guns at home"
0'Counor'S ife Saved
A second attempt by gangsters on
the life of Chief of Detectives O'Con-
nor was frustrated yesterday with the
arrest of three and the confiscation of
some revolvers loaded with dunn
dunn" bullets. A few days ago a sus-
pect attempted to draw gun and
shoot O'Connor at detective bureau
headquarters as the officer was about
to question him.
Police arrested more than so known
gangsters and suspects at the Walker
Berlenbach boxing match late last
night. Every entrance to the Coli
scum was guarded, and detectives cir
culated among the spectators to ar
rest those who evaded officers on the
outside.
All efforts to obtain the release of
those arrested were met with refusal.
Chief O'Connor said every one of them
would have to appear in court today.
The court has released 48 men
taken in previous police roundup,
after each had given assurance he
was Woodworking citizen.
