Jane Wolfe Diary Entry Sunday, 26 July 1942
At breakfast Joe [Joe Miller] announced a "bomb-shell", for a time when all could be present. He would not report at the ship-yards so as to deliver it. And be anticipated a rumpus. Regina [Regina Kahl] was telephoned at Long Beach, so she arrived in time for an 8 o'clock meeting. She and Joe went there Saturday at the request of Mildred Graham.
The Long Beach group were not coming to Headquarters as heretofore: we felt there was a definite cause for this. And Joe plastered all over this defection the usual hydra-headed Sex.
Regina, too, came back somewhat colored by what she heard! "It largely roiled down, however, on Joe's part to an apology and the realization that his own jealousy was back of his "bomb-shell"—which petered out to be a pop-gun—and he now has a better understanding of sex and a different angle on the Order and its aims.
One result of the meeting, which was stimulating, brought Helen [Helen Parsons] and Regina on friendly terms again and gave both Joe and Grace something to think about.
