June 13 Sunday We were home all day as the tennis courts were wet. Eugene came home at 4 PM hot and dirty. The early morning rain had swept them out of their tents and tarpaulins. Premier Laniel lost a vote of confidence on the Indo Chinese issue and resigned. Senator Flanders demanded McCarthy be deprived of all his committee posts because he will not testify on his financial manipulations.
That overnight trip was very memorable; I and another kid had our tarpaulin set up over our sleeping bags, and wanted to tough it out. But we were forced by the Scout leaders to go to a cabin; I ended up sleeping on a wood floor (with my damp sleeping bag, I think) under a bench. I don't think I slept much.
June 14 Sylvia who has a stuffed nose woke with a stomach ache and skipped school this morning. She went back in the afternoon and then to her Scout meeting as she was better. She is writing stories on the typewriter these days. Eugene went out to play baseball with Larry. We saw "Tea & Sympathy"
The Playbill for Tea & Sympathy was taped in on this page, and scanned in below. Also taped in on this page was a box score, with the note "Played on June 12"; the reason for the box score's appearance is left as an exercise for the reader.
June 16 ...
June 17 I beat Herb Levitt today. Eugene played with Larry.
June 18 Lil went over to visit Molly who is in pain again. Eugene played some ball with Larry and Jerry B. I played tennis with Sylvia. The McCarthy hearings ended on the 36th day. In a bruising fight Heavyweight champ Rocky Marciano won a unanimous decision over Ezzard Charles in 15 rounds at Yankee Stadium before 47,585 fans. It was the champ's 40th victory without a defeat. Pierre Mendes-France was chosen Premier of France on his peace in Indo China pledge.
June 19 Sylvia and Susan Kaufman went on a bicycle trip again, taking sandwiches. They went as far as 161 St. Eugene and Larry went to the Giant-Card game. Lil and I went out to the Botanical Gardens. We saw the rose gardens and had drinks in the new restaurant at the old mill. We all met at home and after supper went to the Lido to see Appointment in Honduras with Glenn Ford and Ann Sheridan and "The Glenn Miller Story" with Jimmy Stewart and June Allyson. The Left-Wing Guatemalan gov't was invaded by land and bombed by air by forces of Central Americans led by Guatemalan expatriates.
The box score of the game Larry Rubenstein and I went to was taped in here, and scanned in below.
