Scope and content:

Watches a news broadcast of Roosevelt’s funeral. Thinks about telling his fellow sailors about the similarity between racial prejudice and Nazi ideology, but then sees a magazine that already did it. Enjoys Esther’s visit, even if it was short. Has so much work he cannot even get off a letter like normal. Reads about a person from Pittsburgh who is charged a fine of $12,000 for overcharging customers. Wouldn’t be at all surprised at an Allied landing on the China coast. One of the other people in his department gets a house that the USO found for him and for his wife to stay.
