THE WHITE HOUSE
3.
June 1 145
6 AND
Yesterday was "medal pinning day,' with one spilling over into this morn-
ing.
Gave Steve Early a Distinguished Service Medal. He's earned one in the last
30 days -- let alone the previous 12 years.
Called all the White House force into the rose garden and personally read the
citation and pinned the me dal on him. Said it was his mother's birthday and both
of us got sort of emotional. After the pictures we took something for our nerves
and to calm our feelings.
In the morning I had giv en Mrs. Knox a Legion of Merit bedge for the dead
Secretary of the Navy. It was a nice ceremony too in the executive offi ce with
Secs. of War and Navy present with their aides and assistants and wives. Mrs.
Hull was present.
Gave the Regent of Iraq a merit badge this morning. He is a nice young man
and not a bit upstage. His Foreign Minister is also a regular fellow.
Have been going through some very hectic days. Eyes troubling somewhat.
Too much reading "fine print. " Nearly every m emorandum has a catch in it and it
has been necessary to read at least a thousand of ' em and as many reports. Most
of it at night.
