Before this happened, the obviously rigged court hearings were the subject of a very angry letterfrom President Truman which resulted in the removal of one of the judges who was a long-time personalfriend of Kilian as well as a cessation of the harassment of the putative witnesses in the case.In April of 1947, Kilian sought a promotion to Colonel and Truman promptly removed his namefrom the promotion list. True to form, Kilian immediately attempted to sue Truman to force him to grantthe promotion. The case was dismissed in Federal Court by a judge who ruled that Kilian had nojurisdiction over the Commander in Chief.Following his defeat in court, Kilian tried to submit his name again two weeks later, but againTruman struck his name from the list.The revelations to the American public of this case forced Congress to drastically modify andimprove the conditions under which soldiers could be court-martialed and almost all of the over 100,000soldiers who had been subjected to court-martial during the war had their sentences significantly modified.A furious Kilian finally resigned from the Army in 1951 and died in 1958.Wednesday, 23 November 1949Tomorrow will be Thanksgiving Day here, an American Harvest Festival. No one in this house isAmerican with the exception of Heini but as a concession to the national customs, we will be having anentirely American dinner. I have spoken with the cook on Monday about this and we will have the turkey,the bread stuffing, cranberry sauce, yams (a purely American potato also called a sweet potato), soup, freshrolls, a pie made with pumpkin and nutmeg and other things. Am told it is a very traditional and good feastso one has hopes my informants are correct.Thursday, 24 November 1949Today we had the Thanksgiving dinner that seemed to be entirely worthwhile. There were twoturkeys, one for the staff and one for me and my immediate circle which consisted of Irmgard, Heini andthe First and Second Murderers. I have been reading Macbeth. Arno made remarks about the turkey,indicating that he preferred it to chicken and the pie was a great success.It was raining today and warm during the day.After the dinner, I put on my raincoat, took an umbrella and Maxl for a walk up and down thestreets around here for my exercise and the welfare of the carpets.A very pleasant experience with what I have learned are called the Cave Dwellers!I will put some of this down because I am in a particularly good mood and everyone else has goneto their beds, or someone else’s, and I am not tired enough to go to sleep.Tomorrow, I will have to start preparations for my trip to Florida but tonight I can enjoy myselfwith thoughts about the future.During my walk today, I went past an old but obviously very expensive house and as I waspassing, I heard the sound of a piano so I stopped for a moment and listened. It was a very proficientrendering of a Bach piece that I have played myself so I looked up at the house and saw that a window onthe first floor was open. Although it was raining, it was still a warmish day and it was very humid. A fewmoments later, a well-dressed, elderly woman emerged from the front door, umbrella in hand, and camedown the front walk and through the gate.Since Maxl and I were standing in front of the fence and she emerged no more than three feetaway, I raised my hat to her. I said that I hoped she would not take offense at my standing in front of herhouse but that I had heard someone playing most proficiently on the piano and that as an amateur pianist, Iwas very much impressed. To this the woman replied, in excellent humor, that she had no objections to mylistening and that it was her niece who was practicing for a recital.There were formal pleasantries exchanged (reading Emily Post has been of great help here inWashington, at least with civilized people) and I gave her my nice engraved card with my nice new nameon it.Her car came out from the rear of the house with not only a chauffeur but also a footman, both inlivery! Before she got into the car, this grande dame said to me that she and her niece were at home onWednesdays and they would be most happy if I would call. She had all of the panache of the wife of anAmbassador and when I made some reference to this, she said that she was a Cave Dweller and hadnothing whatsoever to do with the Transients.On that note, she entered her car and drove off.
