I do not remember what happened to cause me to make such a rash statement.
June 16 Red China called off its widespread purge of illegal practises [sic].
June 17 L.I.R.R. engineers walked out of a strike mediator talk stranding 300,000 commuters. Russian MIGs downed a Swedish plane drawing an offical protest as crowds stormed the Russian Embassy. Lillian took Eugene to Dr Holzman. Eugene has lost six poinds since his last visit to the doctor although he gained an inch. Dr Holzman wants to do a basal metabolism on Eugene as he may have a hyperthyroid gland. This will be done on July 1.
I'll hold the story about the basal metabolism test, and hyperthyroid, until it happens.
June 18 Gen. Ridgway in Rome denied the U.S. had waged any germ warfare. Left wing demonstrations against him were kept at a minimum due to extensive police preparations.
June 19 Played my first tennis and beat Mac Cohen. Eugene and Larry went to the Polo Grounds. A fire in the Bedford Stuyvesant slums saw seven persons burned to death. The city had known the house was a fire trap for some years.
The two box scores scanned in below were taped in here; one, as it says, was the game I went to. The other was a no-hitter; it was the second time that I had been to a game on the day a no-hitter was pitched (someplace else). Both times we noted the result on the out-of-town scoreboard. The other one was on 7/1/51.
June 20 Mrs Honig owner of the fire trap tenement was arrested and charged with first-degree manslaughter. Sylvia drew "A House for Elizabeth" - Dean Marshall, "Violets Are Blue", Mary Kennedy, "Back Seat Driver" M.L. Robinson, "Sally Tait" - F.C. Sayers.
June 21 British foreign office radio operator William Marshall was charged with betraying gov't secrets to Russia. Mom and pop took us over to Lil and Harry's where the kids had a good time playing outside. The four kids were joined by a couple of neighbors' kids.
