In fine fettle therefore was the President when he broke off his party with the Cuff-Links Gang, went to his microphone and thanked his 5,000,000 birthday guests, promising them that 70% of their contributions would be spent combatting infantile paralysis in their own communities, 30% sent to Warm Springs Foundation for its national program...
