December 7, 1947 and six years after Pearl Harbor we were settling into a Post War world. The news events of this particular day (which also fell on a Sunday) included the ongoing Admiral Shimada war crimes trial, an emergency Foreign aid bill before Congress. Strikes continuing all over, with Greece imposing the death penalty on strikers. Emperor Hirohito addressing a crowd of 40,000 in the city of Hiroshima with no mention of Pearl Harbor just six years earlier and fighting continuing in the region of Palestine with neighboring Arab countries calling for rejection of the British partition proposal and the death of longtime President of Columbia University and Nobel Peace Prize winner Dr. Nicholas Murray Butler.
Further evidence the world just never stops.
