GLAD OF NEWS

We were all glad to hear the
news. There isn't correspondent
over here. or soldier, or officer I
ever heard of who hasn't complete
and utter faith in General Brad
ley. If he felt were were ready for
the push. that was good enough for
US
would cover segment of the Ger
man line west of st. Lo, about five
miles wide In that narrow segment
we would have three infantry divi-
sions, side by side. Right behind
them would be another infantry
and two armored divisions.
Once a hole was broken, the arm
ored divisions would slam through
several miles beyond, then turn
right toward the sea behind the
Germans in that sector in the hope
of cutting them off and trapping
| them.
KEEP PRESSURE ON
The remainder of our line on
both Si6es of the attack would
keep the pressure on to hold the
Germans in front of them so they
couldn't send reinforcements against
our big attack.
The attack was to open with a
gigantic two-hour air bombardment
BY 1900 planes-the biggest, In
sure, ever attempted by air in direct
support of ground troops.

would come, and then mediums
then dive bombers again, and ther
the ground troops would kick off
with air fighters continuing tt
work ahead Of them.
1t was a thrilling plan to lister
TO. General Bradley didn't tell u
the big thing-that this was phas,
B. But other officers gave us TIN,
word. They said, This is no limit

the big break-through."
In war everybody contribute
something, no matter how smal
or how far removed he may be. Blu
on the frontline, this break Through
was accomplished by four fightin,
branches of the services and | don
see truly how one could be giyer

None of the four could have don,

IN NORMANDY by Wirelessl
"A few Gays after D-day you may
remember we spoke in this column
of five early phases of the conti-
mental invasion that would have
to take place.
Phase No. 5 was to be the break
out from our beachhead after we'd
held it secure long enough to build
up vast quantities of troops and
supplies behind us. And once we'd
broken out of the ring of Germans
trying to hold us in and completed
phase 5, the real war in western
Europe would begin.
Well, we're in phase 5 now. At
least we are while I'm writing this,
Things are moving swiftly. You
realize that several days elapse be-
tween the writing and the publica-
ton of this column. BY the time
you read this we may be out in the
open and pushing into France.
Surely history will give a name
to the battle that sent us boiling
out of Normandy-some name COM
parable TO st. Mlhlel, or MeuSe Ar
gonne of the last war. But to US
here on the spot at the time it was
known simply as "the break
through
We correspondents could sense
that a big drive was coming. There
are many little ways you can tell
without actually being told, if you
are experienced in war.
And then one evening Lieuten-
ant General Omar Bradley, COM
mandnig all American troops in
France, came to our camp and
briefed us on the coming operation.
II would start, he said, on the first
day We had three hours good flying
weather in the forenoon.

today.
AT the suggestion of the late Gen
eral McNair 1 undertook to make
Ernie Pyles book, Here Is Your
War" into a motion picture. The
general figured that most of the
branches of our armed forces had
been glorified in one way or another
in pictures and that it was about
time the infantry got a break.
The infantry did, in Pyle's book.
We announced several months
ago that picture was to be made
based on Here Is Your War" We
would call it &c. I. joe and Ernie
Pyle would be a central character
in the story.
In the intervening months we
have received thousands upon
thousands of letters from c.. I. Joes
all over the world, from film fans,
from newspaper readers as to who
should play Ernie Pyle.
EVERYONE HAS A CHOICE
We've licked our story problem,
but we haven't yet licked the job of
casting that role. AS far as / can
judge from the mail, every reader
of Ernie Pyle has a choice. And
even these citizens who don't get a
chance to read his column have
seen his picture in various news
papers and magazines, or have
watched him in newsreels, and they
all are extremely definite in their
choice of actor to play the role.
Naturally, we want someone who
looks as much like Ernie as possible.
But the resemblance can't stop
there. The actor must have the
same humanneSs, the same humil-
ity, the same great-heartedness that
Ernie Pyle himself displays so WV
idly.
Sometimes producer reads a
story or script and says This is
for Clark Gable" or This is fer
Betty Cradle" or whoever.
But casting Ernie Pyle is a total
ly different problem. Dozens of ac-
tors have been suggested by we'll
meaning friends-Gary Cooper,
Jimmy Gleason, Walter Brennan,
Burgess Meredith, Barry Fitzgerald
and countless others. All are excel
lent actors, logical candidates. But
they dent have to please me; they
have to please 130,000,000 Ameri-
cans and all the G.. I. Joes in the
armed forces.
A great percentage of the mail I
have received comes from soldiers
who have known Ernie Pyle.
