Stephenson Trial
For Perjury Set
For February "

The perjury trial of Warren L.
Stephenson, who once was prom
inent in Washington Republi-
can circles. today was set tenta-
lively for February q.
The date was set by Federal
Judge Burnita S. Matthews in
District Court where Mr.. Ste
phenson pleaded not guilty to
the charges and was released in
$500 bond pending trial.
The defendant is accused of
lying to a House subcommittee
investigating defense activities
when he denied making certain
telephone calls concerning fees
for representing industrialists
in contract matters.
The original indictment was
brought about two years ago.
Subsequently, court ruling
barred as evidence the use of a
recorded telephone conversation.
The Court of Appeals declined
to hear an appeal by the Gov
eminent from the ruling on the
grounds that the ruling was not
a final action.
The Government then dropped
the original indictment. But re-
Gently a new perjury indictment,
identical with the old one, was
returned.

Gen. Prentiss to Retire
From Army April 30

Mai. Gen. Louis w. Prentiss.
commanding general of the En-
|gineer Center at Fort Belvoir
and former District Commission
Ter, will retire from the Army on
April 80, the Department of the
Army announced today.
Gen. Prentiss is retiring vol
unfairly on the completion Of
IS years of service. His successor
at Fort Belvoir has not yet been
selected.
1t. Gen. S. D. Sturgis. jr..
Chief of Engineers. expressed
deep personal regret at the re-
tirement of Gen. Prentiss and
called his departure an example
of the greater opportunities ly-
ling outside the service.
Assumes Added Command
Gen. Prentiss was District En-
gineer Commissioner from jan
uary, 1858, to December. 1854.
when he was reassigned as COM
manding general of Fort Belvoir
and the Engineer Center and
Engineer School there. Only
two weeks ago, he assumed an
added command as he also took
over as commanding general Of
the Engineer Research and De-
Ivelopment Laboratories.
Gen. Sturgis said today that
l"Gen. Prentiss has applied for
retirement on the basis of having
completed IS years service.
However, he could. If he wished,
remain at least four more years
with the Army"
He added, 1T is a severe blow

agreed to his retirement reluct-
Iantly, but he has impressed me
with his personal reasons for
wanting to retire at this time, as
we'll as the outstanding service
he has rendered.
Stresses Loss to Corps
Gen. Sturgis continued: II had
been looking forward to several
more years of service by Gen.
PrentiSs. 1t Is another example
of outstanding Engineer leaders
leaving the service ahead of
mandatory retirement because
of personal considerations aris-
ing from the relatively great OPP
Iportunities outside the service
in this day of great shortage OF
engineers and scientists.
Considering the loyal and
highly competent character OF
Gen. Prentiss' outstanding rec
ord, his departure from our
ranks adds very measurably to
Our loss in experienced engi-
neers and leaders"

New York Avenue EInns
Saved by City Heads

The double row Of elm trees
in the center of New York ave-
nue. had a new lease on life
today.
The trees were threatened
when businessmen and property
owners in the area petitioned
the Commissioners to remove
the center strip in the avenue
between Ninth and Thirteenth
streets NV.
Today, Charles j. Dienelt.
president of the Mid-City Citi-
Izens' Association. was notified
that the city heads had decided
that neither traffic nor parking
considerations justify the re-
Imoval or reconstruction Of the
median strip"
Not Worth It
The Commissioners said use
of the strip as a parking area
would result in a net gain of
only 80 spaces over the present
curb capacity of 81 at a "dispro-
portionate" cost.
/ The Mid-City group by reso-
luton had requested the removal
of the parkway strip and had
presented a petition of business
men and property owners seek
ing the change.
The association commended the
center strip was an eyesore,
served no useful purpose and was
a traffic hazard. A report by
highway Director J. N. Robert
son said that section of the ave-
nue. was paved in 1895. 1898,
and 1908. and was due for re-
paving in 1860. The streetcar

Tramc Not Serious

Traffic Not Serious
The Highway Department
planning division has recon-
mended a 4-foot widening on
the basis of future traffic vol
ume. and Mr.. Robertson said
that although this would i'm
prove the traffic picture. 1T can
not be justified at this time as
the traffic situation existing in
the area is not considered a
serious one" The highway di-
rector added. I'VE have no de-
sire to undertake any widening
of New York avenue between the
above limits until such time as
the streetcar tracks are removed
and the time is ready to pave
the whole street"
1t was pointed out further
that traffic capacity on the street
section in question is limited by
the capacity of the roadways
around Mount Vernon square at
the Ninth street end.
The Motor Vehicle Parking
Agency last July voted against
"a proposal to convert the center
strip into a parking area.
