Okinawa, April 19 (U.E) Ernie Pyle will be buried among
the soldiers he immortalized.
The beloved little war correspondent killed by a Japanese
machine-gunner yesterday probably will be laid to rest in an
army cemetery here in the Ryukyus -where he covered his last
.campaign. . . v '. -. ' t .-' "
The soldiers he loved brought 'him. -back from the battle-

'-. One of his hands still
' clutched his green fatigue cap,
They put him on a litter, and
crossed his arms, and then
. carried.'him back to the rear,
i It wasn't easy. The Japanese
machine-gunner seemed jealous
,' of his prized victim. It was five
i hours: after Ernie was killed' be
fore anybody could get to his
, body. , :
Gunner On Job
Corp. Alexander Roberts, army
photographer from .New York
City, Jried to get into take pic
tures. He said everything anybody
.would try .to enter the clearing
where Ernie had been killed, the
- gunner would open up. .
First, three tanks were "sent In
' to remove the body. But the fire
was too hot for them. Then planes
. Iried to locate the machine-gun
nest.
Finally Roberts crawled into
, the clearing on his belly, pushing
Jus camera ahead of him.
"Ernie's face was not twisted
. Jn pain or agony," he said. "He
looked pleasant and peaceful. If
there hadn't been a thin line of
blood at the corner of his mouth,
you might have thought he was
sleeping."
Jeep Ambushed
The hidden machine-gunner am
bushed a jeep In which Ernie was
going to the front with Lt. Col.
Joseph B. Coolidge of Helena,
.Ark. Both men leaped (nto a road
Mde ditch. ' .,
':' The .dirt along the ditch told
)iow desperately the gunner had
.tried to kill both of them.
. "The bullets had chewed out
Ihe earth a foot deep trying to
get the men in hiding," Roberts
Mid ':
Both men peered over the top

( tiring. The machine-gun chattered
rgain. Three slugs ripped through
Ernie's green and yellow camou
flaged helmet. " ,.-
When Coolidge, who had duck
fd, turned toward him, Ernie was
dead. Ho had been killed instantly.
Ernie always said ho would got
it and that he had used up his complish.
troops on Okinawa. He told a pub
lic relations officer that he had
a premonition about the cam
paign. And he said to another of
ficer that he thought he would
go back to the states "right after
this one."
Instead he went from Okinawa
to Ie Shlma because, as he told a
friend, his premonition was "pret
ty silly as I've run into nothing
hot yet."
So he went on as he had gone
on from Ireland to North Africa,
to Sicily, Italy, France, and the
Pacific to get more stones about
his beloved G. I.'s. He wanted to
write about the marines.
Ernie was an old dough from
the word go.' He sweated and suf
fered with 'the doughfeet, shared
their hopes, fears and thrills
their lives. Today he shared death
with them and it was believed he
would be put to rest with ttiem, in
a G. I. army cemetery.
Ernie -would have liked that.
Gathers Notes j
Pyle spent his last hours doing
the job he had always done
gathering notes from G. I.'s for
his columns, J a m es MacLean,
United Press war correspondent,
reported.
A two-day-ota cold nao connnea
him to the sick bay of a transport
and prevented him from landing
with other correspondents in the
assault waves on Ie Shlma until
Tuesday. He spent that day Inter
viewing soldiers and officers on
the battlefield.
Wherever he went he was sur
rounded by G. I.'s who swarmed
around him, forgetting the battle
in progress. They tried to get
Pyle to autograph captured Jap
money, American bills or invasion
bills until their officers ordered
the men bacfylnto portions.
CITY APPOINTS FORESTER
Cleveland IW Charles R. Cool
ey, newly-appointed city forester,
has set himself a goal of restoring,
to Cleveland Its former title as
"the forest city." He says the Job
will take at least 10 years to ac-
-Shortage Is Critical
The Pacific Paper Materials
company is a processing plant
where the local Jaycees have
shipped tons of salvage paper
for the war effort.
""The shortage of paper Is most
critical," Utter told Thompson and
Higgins. "Although the war ap
pears to be reaching a climax In
Europe, greater need for cartons,
blood plasma containers and shgll
wrappings is felt In the Pacific.
This is due to the greater area
necessary to cover in waging the
war against the Japs."
Higgins said that with .the ar
rival of warmer weather that
Bend residents would require, loss
paper in starting fires In their
homes, and suggested that every
effort be made to save it. He said
that another city-wide pick-up
would be announced later.
Brake Testing
Plans Outlined
As part of the national traffic
safety campaign being conducted
now, all Bend automobile drivers
,who are stopped by police in rou
tine traffic law enforcement, will
have the brakes of their cars
tested, it was announced today
by Chief of Police Ken C. Gullck.
The safety drive, emphasizing
care of brakes, is being waged
between April 15 and June 1, the
chief said.
Because authorities , estimate
that most of the automobiles now
In use are eight years of age, and
likely to be unsafe in traffic,
police everywhere are checking
brakes, Gullck explained. This is
because of the officers' belief that
if the brakes are In good order
fewer accidents; will happen and
the motor vehicles will be longer
preserved.
Shoes with fahrlc uppers, and In
most cases soles other than leath
er, accounted for 15 per cent of
the total of civilian shoes manu
factured In the United States in
1944.
