SATURDAY 8 MAY 1965 128th day - 237 days to come

Called Alice and gave her two ideas I had for HATRACK GAME (see 5/4). First game - using just the cards and hat discs. Mix them up and place a disc in each hat card, making sure that none goes in correct space card. Players in turn switch two hats trying to get 1 or both into proper card. Keep all correctly matched cards for scoring (1 point each) at end. 2nd game - Each player takes one hatrack card (if less than 4 are playing all hatrack cards are used but each player owns just one. Shuffle the cards and divide them equally between the players. These are placed face up in front of the players. The hat discs are mixed and then placed face up, 5 on each hatrack card, and 4 on the center card (leaving one color uncovered). Players try to bring the hats to match their cards to their hatracks. Discs are moved by switching a disc on the center card with any one of the hatrack cards, the two discs being on the same color. Didn't work out the mechanics of removing discs from hatracks to cards. A move of a card disc to an empty space (from a hatrack to center, or visa versa - and both spaces being the same color) is consid- ered equivalent to a [crossed out] switch.

Got together material for Claude to send Journal American reporter for use in article in Queen Sunday section. Gave it to Claude in evening. Bought 4 checker boards on Northern Blvd. Claude left 12 copies of BIG FUNERAL on consignment.
