Car Tosses Stone Through Window Of L-Street Buffet Driver Disconcerted and Owners Are Left With Question of Who Pays. | While a few customers were nip- | ping and sipping in the Nip and Sip Buffet, at 1801 L street, last night, their revelry was broken by the break- ing of a front plate glass window. It sounded like a pistol shot. ‘What happened was this: C. L. Boteler, a taxicab driver, was about to park his cab. The right front wheel dislodged a stone, about the size of a hen’s egg, and sent it flying | through the air—a mile a minute— headed for the plate glass. Bam went the window, as Alva H. Harhenrider, a newsboy, of 810 I street, ducked just in time to avoid being hit by the flying missile. Benjamin L Deutsch, acting man- ager, raced to the doorway, expect- ing to see a bandit or two. Boteler went in to explain. He re- trieved the stone and is carrying it around today as a souvenir the while Messrs.

Doherty is reported confident | that the parties next month will out- distance the success of the campaign last January, when $1,000,000 was raised as an endowment for Warm Springs, where infantile paralysis pa- tients go for treatment. At the President’s own suggestion, however, no part of this year's funds will go to the foundation. Some 70 cents of every dollar raised will be used in the rehabilitation of handi- capped children within the community raising the fund or within the nearest geographic unit of which the com- munity is a part. The remaining 30 | cents will be turned over to the Presi- dent to be used by a national com- mission appointed by him for widen- | ing the research efforts aimed at | wiping out the disease itself. Willlam Green, president of the American Federation of Labor, who will serve as chairman of the labor division, has pledged the support of labor everywhere to co-operate to the fullest extent possible in making the 1935 birthday celebration to the Presi- dent a complete success.
