The theft Of 80 cents worth
of milk brought charge OF
petty larceny against a e3-year-
old man in Municipal Court yes
terday, but the charge was dis
missed after the defendant vigor-
ously defended himself.
It all came about when Larry
M. Lawrence, who said he was an
attorney from Texas, was arrested
by Pvt. Alvin Bailey for taking
four half-pint cartons OF milk
from IN front of the Peoples
Drug Store at Twelfth and F
streets NV.
The policeman testified he saw
Mr.. Lawrence take the milk, and
that the defendant admitted doing
so. He said also Mr.. Lawrence
said he took the milk because he
had lost 40 pounds in the last
three months. and I was trying to
gain it back"
But MIR. Lawrence contended, IN
his own behalf, that the court had
not proved ownership of the milk,
after an official from the milk firm
had testified the cartons were a
product of the company. but did
not say they were company
property.
Judge Almond w. Scott agreed
with the defendant that no con-
tract of ownership had been estab-
lished. Prosecutor Martin Nc
Namara asked that the case be
passed until afternoon. Judge
Scott granted the postponement.
On resumption of the trial, the
truck driver who delivered the milk
to the store testified the milk was
the responsibility of the company
until the drug store had accepted
it. Thus ownership was estab-
lished.
But then Mr.. Lawrence stood
and told the court he had been
in the District three months, COM
ing here to apply for admission
to the Supreme Court. He said he
had taken and passed q civil serv-
ice examination for the job of an
attorney-examiner. He said also

the Commissioners for accept
ance. The next lowest bid was
$1l1.733, submitted by the Federal
Parking Services.
The lease was limited to two
years because the District may be
ready to go ahead with construc-
tion of the new municipal building
by that time. It was felt desirable
to raze the old buildings recently
to provide parking space in the
area lost when work began on the
new Federal courthouse building
two blocks away.
The Grand Plaza company for
merly ran the parking lot behind
the old District Building, Four
teenth and E streets NV. Four
teen other bids were submitted.

| Grand Plaza Parking
Bid Of. $126,060 Filed

A high bid of $126,060 has been
submitted to the District by the
Grand Plaza Parking Area, Inc,
for a two-year lease on the 10000

nicipal Center.
The area formerly was occupied
by old buildings but most Of them
were demolished recently to clear
the site for eventual construction
of the west wing of the Municipal
Center Building.
The area is bounded by Sixth
street, C street, Indiana avenue
NV. and the east wing Of the Mu-
nicipal Center. It will provide
space for 500 cars and, If the city
heads accept the bid, will be open
for business December l.

had saved.
. At this point the prosecutor
asked to approach the bench. He
told the judge he would like to
drop the case. The judge said he
had the same thought.

Allies Expected 70 End
Ban on Foreign Capital
In Western Germany
~ me Assocjotsd Press

LONDON, Aug. 18.-The big
Western powers will lift the ban
on foreign investments in West
Germany within a month, Ameri-
can diplomatic officials reported
yesterday.
At the same time the United
States. Britain and France prob
ably will release war-blocked for
eign capital holdings in that part
of Germany for reinvestment
there, they added.
The moves are described as de-
signed to spur West Germany's
economic recovery.
OF the big Western powers,
Britain would benefit most be-
cause of her extensive prewar
interests in German industries.
An estimate Of the value of those
interests was not Immediately
available. The United States did
not have as much money invested
in Germany before the war as
Britain. France. Belgium and
Holland also would benefit.
The three Western governments
have been negotiating on these
issues ever since American and
British military governors in Ger
many last March jointly urged re-
moval Of the foreign investment
ban. 1t was imposed when the
occupation started.
At that time they estimated that
an average annual investment Of
between 81 600. 900, 900 and $780,
100000 was needed to make the
Western zones self-sufhcient. Most
of this was expected to come from
German sources. Some was to be
European Recovery Program funds.
The rest was hoped for from pri-
vate foreign investors.
Agreement had been reported
held up by Britain's insistence that
her war-frozen German assets be
released for reinvestment at the
same time as the ban on new capi-
tai was listed.
The United States first opposed
the idea. but now has accepted it,
the informants said.
Britain is said to have argued
that her own investment holders
would he competinp diSadvanta-
geously against new investors un-
less her prewar capital was re-
leased. AS 1t is now, nothing can
be done with that capital-it
neither can be removed nor re-
invested.
