4/24 Sylvia returned to playground school today. Eugene was the only one on his pond comm. to bring in any info - from his Book of Kn. Wallace in Paris urged a 15 billion dollar loan to Russia. Warden Lawes is dead at 63.

Six Nazis were hanged in Prague for the Lidice crime. 600,000 workers put on a stoppage in Detroit and 100,000 listened to Auto union leaders denounce the anti-union drive. 23000 signed T.W.U. cards to be represented by that union in transportation bargaining.

These are the first entries in Book III; only three days, since Book II ended mid-week.
My father started a "diary" in 1945 (more accurately, a journal, covering both family and current events), and I'm going to see if this is a decent way to publish it. Since I'm doing it as a blog, to get to the beginning of the journal, you have to go to the beginning of the blog.

Deaths (Book II)
3/19/46 H. Glintenkamp
H. H. Richardson
Jung
Largo Caballero
3/26 Vincent Youmans
3/27 Alekhine - killed
3/31 Leon Kobrin
4/3 Noah Beery
4/23 Mae Busch & Lionel Atwill
Interesting to me that he spelled "Mae" correctly this time (wrote "May" on the original entry). But see my note at the end of this section.
5/4 Little Bill Johnston
5/6 Dr. Simon Flexner
5/8 J J Johnston
5/18 Eberhard Faber
5/20 Booth Tarkington
5/24 Henry George Weiss
He didn't write the deaths too clearly, so I've been going back to the date of the diary entry to check the names; found that this one was entered by me as "Henry Bruga Weiss"; now corrected. And, BTW, it seems that the name was really George Henry Weiss.
5/26 Patterson of the "News"
29 Carter Glass
He started writing only the new month, from here on.
6/4 Kalinin
7 Gerhard Hauptmann
10 Sen. Bankhead
11 Jack Johnson
15 Major Bowes; Chas. Butterworth
26 Wm Hart
30 Wanda Gag, Antoinette Perry
Just found out that he's NOT going through the diary for deaths; these two are not mentioned in that day's (or any other day's) diary entry (except that I did take out a book from the library by Wanda Gag).
7/5 Steiglitz [sic]
This one made me check the name; he misspelled it both times, understandable, considering our last name!
11 Sidney Hillman
20 Bogolometz
28 Gertrude Stein
8/9 Tony Lazzeri
8/14 H G Wells
17 D. Bellanca

Another example of a death not in a diary entry.
2/1 Johnny Kling
5 Adm. Mitscher
6 Ellen Wilkinson, Hans Fallada
14 Sidney Toler
23 Harry K. Thaw
3/10 Carrie Chapman Catt
18 Jean Richard Bloch
28 John Evers
4/8 Henry Ford
19 Benny Leonard
This was difficult to complete correctly, since the last page apparently fell out, and he pasted it in, covering part of the back cover, on which he had written the last 22 names. So some dates were not visible; I took them from the diary entry.
In addition to the few names which I noted were not in the diary entry, another indication that he was using some other source was that some names were written out differently here than in the diary entry (e.g., Carrie Chapman Catt was Carrie C. Catt in the diary entry; John Evers was Johnny Evers in the diary entry).

4/20-4/23/47
4/20 Sunday Chess, word games. Trouble with Sylvia at every meal. A bad day so we had to stay in all day.
4/21 Eugene back to school just in time for his reading contract. He was out all last week. I return to work today. Wallace spoke in Norway. The "Big 4" Foreign Ministers in Moscow agreed on Austrian blame for the war. They failed to agree on other points of the Austrian treaty or on Yugoslav claims for Corinthia. A minor Portuguese revolt has been put down. U.S. Steel has agreed to a 15¢ per hour raise. Simon Patino, Bolivian tin plate king is dead in Argentina at 87. King Christian of Denmark is dead. Forty Jewish youths seized the British Consulate here and held a memorial service for the executed Palestinians.
4/22 Eugene has wet himself two days in a row in class apparently because he is afraid to ask Mrs. Dwyer to leave the room. It seems she refuses some children. Sylvia counting beautifully. Egypt has asked the UN to free Palestine. The British occupied zone in Germany gave the S.D. first place. The C.P. got about 10% of the vote. 100,000 Iowans put on an AFL-CIO stoppage against the Hartley Bill. Pres Truman speaking at an A.P. luncheon at the Waldorf again asked for price cuts to avert a slump. The AFL has asked the C.I.O. to meet with it on united action and a merger.
4/23 Playing with Gloria and Sylvia at Casino and tiddledy-winks, Eugene showed himself something of a poor sport when Lillian said he was wrong and Gloria right in a bet they had made. Sylvia made some drawings and asked for pennies as a reward. 75,000 unionists rallied her in Madison Square Park against the anti-labor drive. Among the speakers were Quill, Hollander, Kingdon and Lehman, Krause, telephone strike director. The Greek Turkish Bill passed the Senate 67-23. Reactionaries and liberals were split on both sides. The S.P.-C.P. bloc won in Sicily elections. A British troop team was blown up in Palestine. Dennis & Josephson were cited by the "House" Marcantonio dissenting.
This is the last entry in Book II. except for the Index and Deaths. Those will be the next posts.
