HOLLYWOOD – I’ve been reading about the Petain trial and I honestly think the French way of trying people is better than ours.
Take the jury, for instance. When members of the Petain jury got bored with the testimony, they read newspapers or worked crossword puzzles or just plain went to sleep. Over here the poor things have to listen, even if they don’t know which end of the plaintiff to mark with their ballots.
George says that in our courts only the lawyers can yell and I believe him, because George, like most husbands, is an authority on yelling. But in those French courts anybody – judge, jury, witnesses, spectators – can get into it and yell. We talk about justice being blind, but in France it must be deaf, too.
Anyhow, I like the spirit of everybody joining in the game and if the prisoner is found guilty, he doesn’t mind so much going to jail where things are quiet.

U.S. State Department (August 7, 1945)
Log of the President’s Trip to the Berlin Conference
Tuesday, August 7:
. . . . . . . . . . . . . .
The Augusta moored to Pier No. 6, Army Embarkation Dock, Newport News, Va., at 1654, completing a record run from Europe. The task force averaged 26.5 knots from the point of departure off Plymouth to buoy XS, off the Chesapeake Bay. (Distance, Plymouth to Newport News, 3,230 miles.)
. . . . . . . . . . . . . .
Mr. John Snyder, Vice Admiral P. N. L. Bellinger, Rear Admiral D. M. LeBreton, Admiral McCann, and Brigadier General Kilpatrick came aboard the Augusta, as soon as we had tied up, to call on the President.
Baggage and equipment had been transferred to the train by 1728. The President left the ship then and boarded the special train which was parked on the pier.
Just two minutes after the President had left the ship (at 1730), the Augusta got underway from Pier No. 6 for the Naval Operating Base, Norfolk.
At 1740 the special train departed Newport News for Washington. Mr. Snyder joined the party for the return trip to Washington.
After a quick run, we arrived in Washington at the Bureau of Engraving Station, at 2245. The President and party disembarked at once and proceeded to the White House by automobile. The President found a number of members of his Cabinet on hand to greet him and welcome him back home.
