z Restaurant Groups
Here Favor Curbs on
After-Hours Clubs

Two Washington restaurant
groups were on record today in
favor of moves to curb after
hours drinking clubs.
The Restaurant Beverage Asso-
citation, which is in favor of bill
introduced in the House by Rep
resentative Klein, Democrat, of
New York, that would permit res
taurants here to sell drinks until
2 am. on Sunday, met last night
at the Chicken Hut. 427 Eleventh
street NV. More than 200 men,
berS attended.
ST Wiener, executive secretary
of the association, outlined a five
point change in regulations ia
vored by the group. They are:
The right to drink while stand
ing at bar; new types of licenses
to permit operation until 4 am.
on weekdays and am. on Sun
days; a presumption of good faith
by restaurant men when a minor
person who asks to be served is a
minor: limit on the number of
on-sale licenses; special on-sale
licenses authorizing establishments
to sell drinks until am. on New
Years Eve.
Mr.. Klein was scheduled to
speak at the meeting, but was un-
able to attend because of the
funeral in New York for Repre-
sentative Sol Bloom.
The other group that favors
curbing the after-hours clubs is
the Washington Restaurant AS
sociation. Its Board of Directors
has voted that the clubs should
be licensed by the District Com
misisoners, according to Robert j.
Wilson, executive secretary.
Mr.. Wilson said his group also
favorS a 2 am. Sunday closing
hour, no license fee increase on
class c and D liquor licenses and
stand-up bars in restaurants.
The after-hours clubs now oper-
ate without licenses and have bars
at which club members leave their
own bottles. The members buy
setups and then are served liquor
from their own bottles. Several
of the clubs, however. have been
raided in recent months and
charged with selling liquor.

Visitors Toss Lye
In Fight; Baby
May Lose Sight

PHILADELPHIA (ANP) A
baby will probably lose his eye
sight as the result of burns caused
by a quality of liquid I've thrown

The infant is 13-month-old Lee
cey C. Powell, Jr., son of Mr.. and
Mrs. Lacey Powell in whose apart
ment Roosevelt Reed, 35, and Lee
ma farrow, SO, were fighting.
Reed, who. lives in the same
house as do the Powells had been
arguing with Miss Farrow. They
carried the fuss to the room
where the baby was sleeping. The
man allegedly swung a chair at
the woman. Miss Farrow then
reached for an open ear of lye on
a nearby shelf and tossed it at
Reed. Reed ducked and the I've
splashed into the baby's face.
Police took the child to Penn
sylvania hospital where first aid
was administered and then to the
Children's hospital where doctors
are still trying to save the baby's
sight.
The tissues of both eyes are so
badly burned that doctors say the
sight will be seriously impaired
if not lost.
Others inthe room were struck
with the lye but were not serious
ly burned. They are Mary Powell,
9, sister of the burned baby;
brother James, g., and a 2O-year
old girl, Barbara Bracket. They
