CINCINNATI, Feb. 11 -- (AP)-- A plum stone which was choking her to death was removed late yesterday from the throat of Gladys Shover, 6, who for three years was fed thru a tube because of burns to her throat suffered when she swallowed lye.

The stone stuck in a stricture in her throat. Police rushed her to a doctor who removed the obstruction.

The girl now is living with a Cincinnati family which adopted her. She was living in Portsmouth, O., at the time she swallowed the corrosive, but was brought to the general hospital here for treatment.
