In the Pacific he went aboard an aircraft carrier in Vice Ad miral Marc A. Mitscher's task force. He covered two naval air attacks on Tokyo in February and the invasion in Iwo Jimn. Asked for Transfer But he couldn't stay away from the foot soldier, so he asked to be assigned to the marines for the Okinawa campaign. . Before he departed he had his belongings packed. He left in structions for their shipment if anything happened to him. He went ashore at Okinawa with the first marine division and participated in the early phases of the campaign with the leather necks. Then he went with an ormy division to invade Ie Shima last Monday. It was as tho troops pushed eastward to root out Japs dug in on the Iegusugu mountain north of the town, that Pyle was killed by the hidden machine gunner. Pyle was tho second Scripps Howard United Features colum nist killed in action In the Paci fic in a little more than a year. Raymond Clapper, famous Wash ington columnist, was killed in on air crash during the invasion of the Marshalls in February, 1944. Covorod War in Africa Pyle started covering the war in England and North Africa. He stayed with it, except for a brief furlough home, until the Ameri cans were sweeping the Germans out of France. Then he came home again, leaving tho front, ho explained, simply because he couldn't stand the sight and smell of death any longer. He landed On Okinawa on what tliey called "Love Day" the day of the first assault. President Voices Tribute The news of Pyle's death sad dened an already bereaved While House. A few moments after the report got out, President Truman said: "The nation is quickly sadden ed again by the death of Ernie Pyle'- No man in this war has so well told the story of tho Ameri can fighting man as American fighting men wanted it told. More than any other man he be came the spokesman of the or dinary American in arms doing so many extraordinary' things, it was his genius that tho mass and power of our military and naval forces never obscured tho men who made them.
