22 v 18. DAN HARRY TRUMAN LIBRARY Papers of NATHANIEL DAVIS SaíEWOD December 12, 1948. quiet, rather stupid day. went to the office in the morning and received the reply to my cable of last night about arns purchases, then went to the Office to give it to Odio and ask for news. He had none.
Just as got back to the office, Tap Bennett called from Washington and gave him all the news don have. couple of people came in with odds and ends of information which added up to practically nothing. The Foreign Office had intimated it would summon the diplomatic corps in the evening and sat around most of the afternoon waiting for some word of that. None came. had wired the principal of the school at San Joaquin that was unable to be present to present diplomas as promised, but as it turned out, could just as well have gone.
