Sept 17 Eugene stayed home this morning with a "belly-ache". He still balks at eggs. Sylvia has a few fingers full of dry cereal with a few drops of milk in the morning. But give her a full plate of meat. Billy Klem is dead at 77. Gelett Burgess is dead at 86.
Sept 18 At the graft cops trial it was charged corruption leads right up to the Police Commissioners office.
Sept 19 UN and Communist representatives conferred at the latter's request as deadly fighting continued. Another Hollywood film probe went into its third day.

Sept 20 Harry Gross refused to testify and was given $15000 fine and 5 years in jail. The 18 police defendants were released in a sensational development. The Cicero grand jury indicted the victims of the recent riots and exonerated the racist rioters.

Sept 22 Pop got us two tickets for the Giants-Braves ball gave. Lillian and the kids met me at 161st and took my box of ties while I took Eugene to the Polo Grounds. We saw Jansen beat Spahn 4-1. Dewey ordered Staten Island D.A. disqualified after having a woman forcibly arrested without a warrant after she had testified she saw the D.A. at a gambling joint. Ford Frick was elected Baseball Commissioner to succeed Happy Chandler.
It is extremely strange to me that I don't remember going to that game.
