PYLE 16TH MAN Of Hundreds Of Yanks Who Went Ashore Few Killed To Date By GRANT MCDONALD IE ISLAND. Ryukyu*. April 19 — f/P)_write “30" lor little Ernie Pyle, famed author and war corres pondent. The little guy, beloved by every O, I. Joe. fell in action yesterday mid-morning on le—a little island nobody ever heard of before Pearl narbor. Of the hundreds of 10th Army troops to land on le, 15 were kill ed during the first three days. Ernie was the 16th American to die there. He wore his helmet because as he told a friend “I try not to take any foolish chances but there’s just no way to play it completely safe and still do vour job.” Ql'ICK DEATH Before going up front to get the feel of one more frontline ac-1 tion to write to the folks back home, he signed some short-snorter bills for two privates—Louis J. Ves-; pole of Corona, Long Island. N. Y„ and ‘‘Patsy’’ J. Rubbino of White i Plains. N. Y. Then he got into the jeep with Lt. Col. Joseph B. Coolidge, of Helena, Ark. | “We were riding along.” said Coolidge, “when we were fired on by a Jap machinegun. We dove into a ditch. A little later, Pyle and I raised up to look around. Another burst hit. I looked at Ernie and he was dead A bullet had entered hi* left temple Just under his hel met.” One of the last things Ernie said about the front was: “Life up there is very simple, very un complicated. devoid of all the jea lousy and meanness that float around a headquarters city.” YANKS Starfts On F**« One ship invasion armada for days was under heavy Japanese air attack,j including crash dives by Kamikaze (suicide) pilots. Four U. S. des troyers were acknowledged sunk and other fleet units were damag TOKYO CLAIM Tokyo radio made the wholly unsubstantiated claim today that 393 “enemy" warships had been sunk or damaged by Kamikaze fliers since March 33. The Japan ese reported sinking or damaging 21 aircraft carriers, 19 battleships, 16 battleships or cruisers, 55 cruis ers and scores of other war ves The navy total was 989 officers and enlisted men killed, 2.200 wounded and 1.491 missing. Sol ders and marines of the new Tenth army suffered 493 dead, 2,530 wounded and 265 missing. The figures of naval missing may be reduced, for many men likely ha vs, been rescued by other ships. Nimitz’ casualty figures, surpris ingly heavy in view of the light- ! ness of the initial opposition, com pared with U. S. marine casual ties of 19,938 on Iwo Jima, the bloodiest conquest of the Pacific war. Seizure of Saipan in the Ma rianas cost 16,525 American cas ualties. EIGHT ISLANDS Tenth army figures included those for the invasion of eight Kerama islands off the southern tip of Okinawa, Okinawa itself and Ie island, 4,000 yards off the west central coast. On Ie, where the popular corre spondent Ernie Pyle was killed by a Japanese machinegunner yester day, 15 Americans have been kill ed and 73 wounded in the three days of the Invasion. The Yanks had a firm grasp on the 10-square mile islet and were eradicating Japanese from dug-in positions and pillboxes. In three days 388 Japanese were killed on le. Tired and dirty-faced Doughboys on southern Okinawa still were trying to crack the tough “Little Siegfried Line," four miles north of the capital city of Naha, amid a bitter and prolonged artillery ex change. Even at night. Japanese 150 mm. shells were falling into American lines every 15 minutes. Not since April 10 has Maj. Gen. R. Hodge’s 24th Corps advanced on this ir regular front stretching five miles across the southern end of the is land. This natural defense barrier, honeycombed with pillboxes de signed for interlocking fire, was under constant American artillery, naval bombardment and strafing rocket attacks from the air. Maj. Gen. Roy 6. Geiger’s Third Marine Amphibious Corpa reached the northern end of Okinawa yes terday and mopped up pockets of resistance on the Motobu penin sula, which cuts off the northwest coast PROMOTED—1st Lt. Homer Ed win Beam, son of Mr, and Mrs. Homer Beam of Fallston, has been recent'y promoted from 2nd lieu tenant to his present rank while serving in the 89th Infantry di vision of General Patton's Third army somewhere in Germany.

Along highway 65, the Florence Bologna main road, Allied troops were running into thick concrete enemy pillboxes in difficult fight ing on the sides of the peaks and hills. Capture of Mount Adone, how ever, gave the Fifth army posses sion of a good observation point from which the vast area of Ger man lines may be watched. The 361st infantry regiment, comman ded by Col. R. W. Broedlow, took the peak. Southwest of the Argenta Gap. Allied troops fighting through flooded fields reached the Gaiana river in many places along an eight mile front north of high way 9. Patrols have crossed the river and are holding some strong defensive positions on the far bank.

She added, however, that she planned to continue her column, "My Day,” and her magazine page in the Ladies’ Home Journal as well as writing "an occasional ar j tide.” George A. Carlin, general mana ger of United Features syndicate, said Mrs. Roosevelt’s contract to write “My Day” had been renewed last March 10 for five years. "Mrs. Roosevelt is a great lady I and a great person in her own right,” he declared. "Her column will be accepted on its own merits. From now on she can speak more freely on all matters.” TWO JOBS In her column today, Mrs. Roose velt said: "I have two jobs that I consider j myself 9bligated to do and that I i want to do. My daily column 11 have always looked upon as a job which I wanted to have considered j on its merits. Because I was the wife of the president, certain re-, strictions were imposed upon me. Now I am on my own, and I hopeI to write as a newspaper woman. 11 certainly should have background j to bring to the job. and if I have not developed powers of observa tion and correct reporting in the past years, that will soon be dis covered. "My magazine page is also a j contract that I wish to fulfill as; well as I possibly can. Outside of these two occupations I hope I shall be able to do an occasional ar ticle on subjects which are of in terest to me and others.” Because of the president's death, her column failed to appear for three days for the first time since it began in 1935. NAZIS i ‘ 1 Starts On Page One Gen. Eisenhower, to get first hand proof of the atrocities disclosed in captured camps, he announced. | NO HINT ON V-E ■ Sidestepping attempts to draw a j hint from him as to when victory ‘over Germany would be proclaim ed, the prime minister told Com i raons he had nothing to say at the I present time "except that I depre I cate premature speculation upon j I this subject.” The house cheered and then Churchill added, "the matter is not one we can settle by our • selves.” Describing the matter of Ger man atrocities uncovered in captured prison and concentra tion camps as “one of urgency,” Churchill announced that a let ter from Gen. Eisenhower only this morning said "new dis coveries, particularly at Weimar, far surpassed anything pre- i viously disclosed.” The Buch enwald camp was located at j Weimar. i I The prime minister said "no words can express the horror which ; is felt by his majesty's government and their allies at the proof of these frightful crimes now daily coming into view.” IN FEW DAYS “A solemn warning has been prepared for the German govern ment, or whatever authorities e» i isted, by agreement with Russia and the United States,” he disclos ed, and he expressed the hope it would be issued in a very few days. He said Eisenhower had invited him to send members of parlia ment to get first hand proof of the crimes as they are disclosed. The warning being prepared, he added, will be "not only to the men at the top but to the actual ■ people who had done this foul work with their own hands.” It made clear, too, he said that "no order from superior authority would be any shield to them.” TALKS PLANNED Churchill said the whole matter of V-E day. taking in both military and political considerations, would ; have to be discussed by the "three ! or four” principal powers engaged, I before the final defeat of Germany was proclaimed. One member asked whether Gen. Eisenhower's statement that V-E day would not be proclaimed until all important centers had been li quidated meant that Norway, Den mark and the Channel islands and Atlantic ports would have to be j liberated first. Churchill reiterated that he had "no announcement about V-E dav at the present time.” “I do not know, myself, why all this talk about V-E day has got about,” the prime minister said. “No ohe in the British govern ment and no responsible gentleman in any of the parties so far as I know has given any special en couragement to this.” SHAKE-UP Starts On Pace One Jones still draws his pay as a Judge, receives no salary as food administrator.

April 19—</P)— The' Tokyo radio announced today that airdromes in the Tokyo and Kanto areas had been strongly attacked by Am erican bombers and fighters this morning. BERLIN Starfts On Page One on the Spree. The Germans indicated the Russians were driving toward Finsterwalde. 26 miles west of Spremberg and 46 miles from American positions at Wurzen. Among other Russian successes reported by Berlin was the entry of Bliesdorf, 24 miles northeast of the capital. All these penetrations .were vir tually confirmed by the German high command which mentioned breaches east of Muencheberg, south of Wriezen, north of Goerlitz, east of Bautzon and northwest ot Weissvvasser, 12 miles southwest of Spremberg. WELL ALONG A Russian penetration to a point northwest of Weisswasser would place the Russians well along the road toward Finssterwalde and a union with the Americans. Although the German com munique said all these breaches were “sealed off,” it indicated the critical nature of the sit uation by asserting that the Russians were attacking toward Berlin “with men and material on a scale hitherto unknown.” German broadcasts declared 800 Russian tanks had been knocked out in the four-day offensive, ranging from a point 30 miles south of Stettin to the Czechoslovak mountains. "Crossing attempts and artillery fire on Stettin are indications that the offensive will flare up in this region shortly," said one German broadcast. Among indications that the German situation was deterior ating rapidly was the Berlin admission that the Nazi bridge head on the east side of the Oder at Frankfurt had been given up. While the Kremlin still was mum about these titanic clashes, the Moscow radio said “the curtain is falling on the European war and the time is at hand for the armies from the west and east to unite." Moscow held its official battle reports to the Czechoslovak and Austrian sectors. BRUENN THREATENED The entry of Bruenn, home of a famous Czech machinegun and a munitions center of 264,000 be fore the war, and of Moravska Os trava, a city of 125,000 and third largest in Czechoslovakia is immi nent, Moscow dispatches said. Marshal Rodion Malinovsky’s guns already were shelling the outskirts of Bruenn, outflanked by the capture of Ivancick, 12 miles to the southwest. The Russians surg ed near Austerlitz, 12 miles south east of Bruenn, trying to get at the big aii-port between Bruenn and Austerlitz. On the northern side of Czech oslovakia, the Russians penetrat ed the Moravian gap and were six miles from Moravska Ostrava, guardian city of the gap .5 miles northeast of Bruenn. Troppau, 15 miles northwest of Moravaska Ostrava, was entered and, villages between the two cities taken. Southwest of Bruenn the Rus sians headed for the Moravian cit ies of Treditsch and Iglau on the road to the Czechoslovak capital of Prague, 117 miles to the north east.
