Wed, 19 Jul 1944
Nice day except for heavy shower am.
The arrested people released 10am. They had violated the Jap. Gov’t rule forbidding public dancing, however, they were treated OK at HQs given cigs & tea.
Excellent news from all fronts. Saipan ours 16th & Arezzo 16th. Russians pushing ahead 19 mls per day. Turkey likely to abandon neutrality on our side & Germany indicates her selfish desire to protect the Fatherland only, to hell with her Protectorates it seems.
With Steve pm.
Current in town reduced 1hr. ie 8-11pm.
Wind E stronger pm.
