9/27

Sylvia has been going to the tennis courts with me and playing by herself. Beat Waldman. Eugene took out a library card today. He wrote his name (in pen and ink, for the first time) three times on the application. He took out three books: "First Reader" "The Story of Chan Yuc" and "The Truck that flew". Eugene got black shoes at Alexanders $4.69. Peron has arrested 50 foes and declared a state of siege again. Browder defended the Communist movement at the "Un-American" Committee hearings. The "Elevator" strike is receiving full labor support. Lillain read "Kings' Row" by               and Three Loves by A. J. Cronin. Woman's love for Father Son and Holy Ghost.

Interesting things here; the second library book is interesting. I certainly remember going to the Fordham Library; that was always a big deal, but I can't say I remember the first visit. 
He repeated the purchase of my shoes; it's in the 9/22 entry. Looking back at that entry, that last line appears darker; I suspect he discovered the receipt, and then added it later; it fits on the last line of that day's entry. 
He left a space for the author of "Kings Row", but didn't fill it in; the author was Henry Bellamann.
