Pyle To Rest With Buddies

Okinawa, April 19- CUP) Ernie Pyle will be buried among the soldiers he immortalized.
 The beloved little war corre- spondent killed by a Japanese ma chine-gunner yesterday probably will be laid to rest in an army cemetery here in the Ryukyus where he covered his last campaign.
 Tn soldiers he loved brought him back from the battlefield, back to where the noise of the guns is dis tant and dull. They lifted his pint sized frame from the ditch where he fell, victim of sneak Japanese machine-gun ambush.
 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.
 Ernie always said he would get 1t, that he had used up his chances. He said it again just before he landed with the assault troops on Okinawa. He told public rela- tions officer that he had a pre- monition about the campaign. And he said to another officer that he thought he would go back to the states right after this one.'
 Instead he went from Okinawa to Ie Shima, as he told a friend, his premonition was pretty silly as I've run into nothing hot yet"

 As he reached the bottom of the steps, voice rang out over the heads of the secret service convoy.

 T just wanted to shake hands," she said.
 The president shook hands with her, then started down Pennsylva- mia avenue for his 250-yard walk to the White House.
 He passed two White House re- porters.
 What did you do, boys, stay up all night?" he asked.
 AS MT. Truman crossed Pennsyl- vania avenue, he passed in front of taxi which had been stopped by police to permit the president to cross the street without the usual traffic dangers.
 The cab driver stuck his head out of his window.
 Good luck, Harry" he boomed. Truman turned and waves to him, smiling broadly.
 He walked through the main gates at his rapid pace and was in his office at 8:32 a. m.
 So began MT. Trumar's second week as president of the United States.
