MILLER i MANILA (By Wireless) Be fore I get on with writing about ' the war out here, I thought I anight say;'a little more about Ernie Pyle.i As a mafter of fact I said long ''ago that if Ernie ever got killed j YA go home at once and try to ? write a biography of him. It ,,' ought to be done. But it looks . us if I'll have to stay overseas a i while. Maybe Lt. Comdr. Max J Miller, author of "I Cover the J Waterfront" and many other bijoks.would do a biography, of j Einie. Max loved him, and Max f was with him for weeks in the I Pacific. j :', But nobody ought io write a . book about Ernie without Jer j ry's help. Jerry is Ernie's wife ) "that girl" he used to men 5 iion in his column. If Jerry ,' were in better health she ought to write a; book herself. She ' knew Ernie far better than 1 anybody else ever did. She writes beautifully. ' But Jerry hasn't been well these past few years, and now Ihnt tbn thintf h:ic hiinnonnrl Hint I she dreaded during those lonely j days and years in Albuquerque Swell, I guess it's out of the ques ition. If Max or somebody does write jo book about Ernie, it ought to 1 be the whole story, not just a :' Cilded "success story" or a Par- V;son Weems fable. V Maybe John Steinbeck would do it, or Ernie's old friend Paige jj Cavanaugh, or Milton Mackaye cr Dorothy Disney or any one of many writing people who were f Ernie's close friends. But let them picture the whole man. t Ernie was no cardboard saint, fl He used bad words sometimes. 7 He drank sometimes. It was j fun for him to relax with friends over a few highballs. - Any biographer of Ernie should ; eo to Indiana and talk to Ernie's 5 father and his Aunt Mary, and j to his schoolmates at Indiana '! university. He ought to talk to J people who worked with him in I the old days in Washington when i we were young and carefree and Ernie met Jjenry. And with some of the old aviation crowd who used to gather at Ernie's and j Jerry's place at 456 N St. S. W. j in Washington I think that was j the number and talk shop or j sweat out the disappearance of a mail pilot. 3 He ought'lo comb through Er ! nic's letters', to his friends there is a bale of them at my office, and Jerry and Cavanaugh and ! Hoz Goodman and lots of other people must have many letters L tucked away. ' It ought to be a careful job, not ; a slapdash, thing to "catch the j market." I don't think Ernie is j going to be foi'gotten in a hurry. LA GRANBE EVENING OBSERVER Thonc 600 News and Activities Engagements . .".
