Man S voIubIe Report
OF Theft Backfires,
He SEIZED as Suspect

Alibis sometimes have a way OF
getting man into trouble. Take
the case of Roland j. Cunning
ham, who virtually talked him
self into Jail.
Cunningham, % and just dis
charged by the Navy, called police
from his Statler Hotel room yes
Iterday to report a double theft
$3.50 stolen from him and $3.50
from William H. Pritchett OF
Dresden, Tenn, a delegate to the
convention of the National Asso-
citation of PoStmasters.
Mr.. Pritchett learned of his
loss when Cunningham, occupying
an adjoining room. awakened him
A thief had made off with his
$3.50, Cunningham said, and he
just wondered if the postmaster
also had been victimized.
Came Detective Sergt. Donald
R. Webber. He heard Cunning
hams story, then questioned hotel
employees. He learned the door
between the two rooms had been
unlocked. He put the finger on
Cunningham.
Sergt. Webber said Cunningham
produced $3.50 from the bottom
part of a telephone, simply by
Iunscrewing the gadget-a detec-
tive story device.
Cunningham was charged with
houSebreaking and making a false
report and was held in $500
bond for the grand jury.

Mr.. Treimes testified the group
had come out of Murphy's where
they had~seen looking for a DASH
board gadget. He said that, as
they passed the policeman, he said
rather loud: Oh, Oh"
Mr.. Treimes said Pvt. Bunton
used some four letter words and
at that point Mr.. Carlson told the
policeman he didn't have to use
that kind of language"
Mr.. Treimes agreed that Mr.
Carlson refused to show identif1-
cation cards.
The car in question didn't, be-
long to any of the group, he testi-
fed.
Mr.. Schwartzman and Mr.. Spitz
both related the same general
story.
Mr.. Carlson then put himself
on the stand. He said he refused
to show identification papers be-
cause he couldn't see any reason
for giving his identity under the
circumstances.
Three e-HOur Defense.
Judge Fennell found Mr.. Carl
son not guilty without hesitation
after listening to the nearly three
hour defense presented.
Jubilant over his victory, Mr..
Carlson said he intended to press
charges of false arrest against
Pvt. Bunton before the Police Trial
Board.
All through the testimony, a lone
drunk-left over from the heavy
docket of drunks because the Of
f1cer who arrested him could not
be found-watched in glee. He
slapped his thigh in shaky laugh
ter when Mr.. Carlson was ac-
quilted.
His own case then was called.
In about 80 seconds. he received
$40 or 10 days for being drunk.
He left for Jail, still grinning.

BY John w. Stepp

"It's a sad thing to cut down
a tree. It's like cutting off your
finger"
From the recesses of the highly
urban District Government comes
this rustic sentiment, voiced by an
officials of the Trees and Parking
Division.
John ]. Bailer, deputy director
of the division, has that reaction
whenever the orders. however
necessary, go out to cut down one
of the city's 100000 curb trees
or any other tree for that matter.
Mr.. Bailer, you see, has been
hobnobbing with trees and shrubs
since he was a child. His father
was tree specialist before him.
The division ne works for, under
direction of John w. Batson, has
the job of caring for Washington's
arboreal beauties-some $50 mil
lion worth of elms and oaks. syca-
mores. naples and ginkgos.
"The job is endless" Mr.. Bailer
says. When you aren't pruning,
you're removing. When you're
not Notwithstanding after storms.
you're planting. We also cut a
lot of the city's grass"
Planting Is Rat Race.
The planting, which is a sort
Of constant rat-race to provide
sufficient replacements for dead
trees and to keep up with new
street installations, leads Mr..
Bailer to his favorite subject. This
is the city nursery just across
the AnacoStia River at the South
Capitol Street Bridge.
Mr.. Bailer, SO, was head of
tie orchard" for many years. It's
white oarn-like buildings with the
pot-bcllied stoves, the towering
elmo and the neat rows of seed
llngs which surround the head
quarters are a friendly sight toI
the Official.
The division has a $298 900
budget to keep the nursery and
the on-the-street work going.
While this seems a fairly sub
stantial budget it still is not
enough to make all ends meet,
according to Mr. Bailer
The division, for example. can't
afford seeds. So periodically, a.
crew rrow!S the city streets and
sweeps up acorns. sycamore balls
and maple spinners by the bagful.
These are set out in the nursery
and nurtured to transplanting
size.
When tr,e division wants shrubs
like abelia, firethorn, yew orr
jasmine it sends a man with
shippers around to the well-heeled
Federal nurseries in town and

Army Surrenders-
Nov Walter Reed
is Walter Reed

The Army Department yester-
day admitted it knows when it is
licked.
Since 1923, the official Army
designation for the many medical
services centered around Walter
Reed Hospital has been ''the Army
Medical Center"
And since that time the public
has gone right on calling it Walter
Reed Hospital.
In vain did public relations off,
GERS plead that the proper name
was Army Medical Center. They
pointed out the huge hospital was
just a unit of the whole command.
Telephone operators at the
center were carefully coached to
say. Army Medical Center, Walter
Reed Hospital" The response
often was. "Is this Walter Reed?"
Even Army doctors receiving
orders to the Army Medical Center
wrote their friends they were being
transferred to Walter Reed.
So last week the Army quietly
bowed to the inevitable and
changed the name of the Army
Medical Center to the Walter Reed
Medical Center.
