Mar 2 [Sunday] We visited Hy and Milly Navarich today, staying for the afternoon. Sandy and Sylvia played games. Eugene worked on a jig-saw. A $2,000,000 robbery was reported in a midwestern home. Sam and Molly over in the evening.
Dad missed noting that it was Sunday.
Mar 3 Greece sentenced eight "red" spies to death and four to life imprisonment.
Mar 4 The Supreme Court upheld the Feinberg "Anti-Subversive Law of N.Y. State 6-3. This applies to the state's schools. Federal Judge Dimock granted a 4 week delay in the trial of the 16 "second string" Communist leaders. Howard Chandler Christy is dead at 80.
Mar 5 Three of the Olney H.S. boys among 19 appearing before a Philadelphia Judge for setting fire to synagogues and movie theatres in imitation of the Nazis were sent to state industrial schools. Others were placed on probation. U.M.T. was beaten in the "House" 236-162 in spite of the great pressure for it. James J Moran, still silent was lectured and given 13-28 years in jail for running a shakedown racket in the Fire Dep't.
Mar 6 The Assembly passed the Margarine repeal bill 90-52 opening the way to the sale of colored margarine. The bed we got from Evelyn for Sylvia came today.
Mar 7 The Army admitted one of our aides urged a sneak attack on Russia.
Mar 8 Eugene went to the Garden with the Boy Scouts to see a basketball triple-header. Afterwards he had supper at Larry Rubenstein's house. The rest of us went to the Lido to see two prize winning movies - "All About Eve" with Betty Davis, Celeste Holm, Robert Sanders and "Sunset Boulevard" with Gloria Swanson, Billy Holden, Eric Von Stroheim. Sylvia didn't enjoy them and nagged to go home. Veterans prevented a Queens rally against the Smith Act which was held in the street with several hundred jeering. Phil Frankfeld, veteran Communist leader under indictment was expelled from the party for "defeatism and sectarianism".
Dad left space where he probably intended to fill on other actors in the move; surely Anne Baxter, who played Eve.
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.
