June 18 Sunday Fathers Day Ben Hogan in a great comeback after being near death in an auto accident won the U.S. golf open. I got a sport jacket for Fathers Day - a week ago. We went to the Botanical Gardens to see the beautiful rose gardens. We came home to watch the ball game on television and eat a grand delicatessen supper while seeing the game.

Macri, wanted in the killing of I.L.G.W.U. organizer Lurye, surrendered with Walter Winchell the intermediary. Western Germany is mining its roads and bridges against a Soviet attack.

He defeated Kramer in a 5 set semi-final and Kovacs in the final when the latter defaulted with cramped legs, down two sets to one. The Indians broke a 1-inning scoring record when they made 14 in the first against the Athletics.

Gov't attornies [sic] stated that the gov't should be able to prohibit advocacy of violent overthrow. The U. of Cal. will discharge more that a hundred employees who refused to take a non-communist oath. Sylvia has a midriff which she says covers her 'dimples'.
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.
