He discusses the Administrative Tribunal's decision that Secretary-General [Trygve] Lie acted illegally under the Fifth Amendment in dismissing permanent control holders, including Hope. Dewitt further discusses the options and possible outcomes of the ruling. He states that Random House, Inc. continues to run ads for "The Chain in the Heart" in the New York Times, and mentions a display at Brentano's gallery. Dewitt hopes that Billy Rose will use his translation of Fernand Crommelynck's "Le Cocu Magnifique." He saw "A Night in Venice."
