ERNIE PYLE, REPORTER
Casualties have run high among newa correspondents in
both Pacific and European wars of this decade. How nearly
comparable the death, injury and disease rate of these "sol
diers of the press" has been to that of those other soldiers
whose achievements they record would be diilicult to say.
. Perhaps the percentages are not far apart. There is no espe
cial reason that thev should ureatl.v vary. Writers and fight
ers in the battle zones are exposed to much the same dangers.
They are in camp, in foxholes, in advanced positions together.
War is taking its toll of both.
These thoughts come to us as we re-read the news which
tells of the death of Ernie Pyle, most outstanding "human
interest" reporter of world war II. Beginning with the
African campaign, his service went on until a Jap bullet
found him on the island of Ie. He is mourned by many a
soldier who knew him and by countless other soldiers and
civilians who had read his dispatches and had found under
standing and comfort in them.
Like many another man, Ernie Pyle came to prominence
in the war. Serving in one combat area after another, he did
the sort of reporting that he had always preferred to do and
that readers have always liked. As war reporting it clicked,
too. It was different from the work of the ordinary war cor
respondent and it was what the people back home were
hungry for.
Ernie Pyle never posed as a war expert. Analyses of
strategy he left to others. He wrote about people. He wrote
chiefly about the commonplaces of army life, about individuals
in the army. He was a plain writer. He made no attempt to
dramatize war, or to dramatize the doings of the individual
G. I. The facts were sufficient and he gave them. They could
speak for themselves. They did speak for themselves, through
Ernie Pyle, and they left the reader with the feeling that they
were facts. They were convincing reality.
All this does not mean that the man .who gathered them
and passed them on was incapable of writinor of thi nirs and
events in the large. His descriptions of the vast invasion move
ment from Africa to Sicily and of the invasion itself was a
series of masterpieces, but still a job of simple straightaway
reiwrting. His impressions became those of the people who
followed his reports. But in reading them there was no
thought that he had sought to impress. He was telling the
story and he told it well.
But primarily Ernie Pyle was interested in people. Pri
marily he wrote about people. Here was the reason for his
' great appeal and for the immense popularity of his writings.
For. the duration at least, the great readincr public was also
interested in people, specifically in the rrust wWw uinrn Viois?y
related from day to dav. The tvne of
needed-complement to the accounts of battles and campaigns
uune in me iraumonai siyie. . , .
There will be more of this sort of war wmWinir Km if
is not likely that anyone will fill Ernie Pyle's place while the
lui i cut wttr tg in progress.

DISLIKES ROOSEVELT
EDITORIAL
April 16, 1945
to tne suitor:
Headline on 13 April Bulletin:
"Nation pays respects to FDR."
Editorial in same paper follows
same line it has since the days of
Hoover, when all was then sup
posedly well.
To a regular reader of the Bul
letin's editorials one could see in
this editorial a half hearted at
tempt to conceal the usual sar
casm, but It was there. Take this:
"In 1944 there was no tradition
left to shatter, or he would have
shattered It.'' or "His tenure had
come to have the 'Implication' of
permanency. Here too, is a good
one, used in closing: "This, we re
alize, docs not even approach a
complete evaluation." As we often
said in the army, when the situa-i
tlon permitted, 'You said it there,
brother.' "The perspective of
time is essential if a true picture
is to be had," wero the closing
wonts, i es, a long long time in
deed if one were to depend on the
Bulletin to give credit to anything
good done during the Roosevelt
administration.
In American democracy criti
cism is of high value in many
things, especially in government.
It is a controlling Influence, and
something often very much de
sired to see that those In power

since ceased criticizing and of
late has gone more and more to
lust plain sarcasm, and now,? as
the whole allied world mourns the
death of this great leader, as the
flags of nearly aH friendly nations
fly at half mast In solemn tribute
to him, the Bend Bulletin gets in
one more sarcastic editorial on
the life, and death, of President
Franklin D. Roosevelt.
