Charged with driving while drunk, Richard Allen, 33, who crashed into the automobile of Commissioner David S. Rhone last night, was sentenced to jail for 30 days by Recorder Joseph A. Patton, of Haddon Heights today.

Allen, who lives at 2445 North Chadwick Street, Philadelphia, was unable to pay a fine and costs of $221.

Dr. Rhone had been summoned to attend Mrs. John Schlorer, 116 White Horse Pike.

His chauffeur, Edward Parker, of 1619 Norris Street, was in the car outside the Schlorer home, when Allen struck it in the rear.

Allen lost control of his car, sideswiped the parked car, and then traveled 50 feet into a tree after which the machine ran another 300 feet before stopping.

Allen and six men and women in the car escaped injury. The machine was wrecked.
