A laundromat and coin op dry cleaner will open in the hotel’s first floor dining area, with Arnold Neuhaus renting space and optimistic but cautious industry outlook. A Laugh Conference promoting humor in Congress is deemed unlikely to succeed. A Springfield letter and birthday notes mark a 80th birthday open house for Charlie A. Johnson in Central City, with sympathy cards anticipated.
