Weather got worse during night. Morning everything covered with ice. Went up to Philly to buy some shoes. Couldn't get a fit in Bostonians. Got some Florsheims. Went to a newsy. Looked into clothes question. Not so good. Very few good cit suits available. Caught Capital Ltd home. No news here. Snowed during afternoon. Japs say we've landed one Div. at Lingagan. Our communique says all going well in West. German communique says they have us in trouble.
