Ernie Pyle Is
Killed by Jap
Machine Gunner
(Continued from Page 1)
But after a vacation in the
United States he found he
couldn't stay away from the war
of which he had become such a
part.
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.
