Clark Lee, War Correspondent, Dead At 46 By HAL BOYLE NEW YORK — The world is bleaker place today for all who knew Clark Lee, a war correspond- ent, untimedly dead at 46. And they will talk of him for a long, long time-in Brisbane and Tokyo, in Manila and Madrid, in Paris, Honolulu and Cairo. For Lee had become a legend even ‘in his relatively brief Jifetime. He died quietly of a heart at- tack in his California home. And I have the unreal feeling of one who steps out the front,door of his home on a stinny mornifig and sees on the lawn a giant tree he loved, felled in the night by a sudden wind. Clark Lee was an Ernest Hem- ingway hero in the flesh,-the-kind of newspaperman every newspa- perman sometimes yearns te, be, He put a kind of glamor into the drudgery of war reporting, and.no one like him had come dowi the pike since Richard Harding Davis. But Clark wrote his fame in his own sweat} He'was a big, dark- haired handsome fellow, built like Jack Dempsey, and his favorite AMERICAN and CUBAN COFFEE —TRY A POUND TODAY—— STRONG ARM — COFFEE Triumph Coffee Mill at ALL GROCERS EED MILES ORIZED NATICRAL SEL WARRANTY DEALER IN THE UNITED STATES 1849 MERCURY Tudor Seat S.

Few men have ever drunk deeper of it in so short a time. Clark was that rare breed of reporter who not only covers news he creates it. He made a name for himself reporting the doomed stand of Gen. MacArthur’s legions on Bataan and Corregidor, and was the first war reporter to discover the importance of telling the story of the private at the front--and getting his name and address back to the folks at home. He hit the beaches of Sicily and Anzio and Normanily. He was with | the first liberating troops into St. Lo. Paris, Manila, and Tokyo, and had flown in the first B29 raid on the Japanese capital. He made news himself by discovering “To- kyo Rose,” the propaganda broad- caster, and by personally seeking out and accepting the surrender of Col Joseph Meisinger, the “Butcher of Warsaw,” who later was hanged for his war crimes. For all his boldness and courage in close - up combat reporting, Clark had a curious gentleness about him, an endless understand- ing of the other fellow’s problems and a quick willingness to help him out, It was this sensitive quality that made him a close friend of men as diverse as Ernie Pyle and Ernest Hemingway. It was an odd pair Pyle and Clark made during the Italian campaign, something like seeing a fox terrier riding in a jeep with a black bear. After the war Clark became a free lance, wrote a fine biography of Gen. MacArthur, and restlessly toured the world with his Hawaiian princess wife, Liliuokalani Kawan- anakoa, better known as “Baby.” They were a great team. But Clark found it hard to gear down to peacetime routine. He missed the robust hardships and excitement of war — the thrill of gambling his life to get “the big tory. Clark had the attribute that stamps the champion-the ability to show his best in an emergency. He never was meant for the hum- drum life. I doubt if he yearned for an old age pension. Perhaps it is as well that, after passing through so many dangers on so many battlefields, he should be surprised by death on the quiet shores of the Pacific Ocean he loved so much -- and always re-/| turned to. The same ocean washes the island where his buddy, Ernie | Pyle, now lies at rest, home from | the wars, too. I HESTER BATTERY GUARANTEED 12 MOS, REG. PRICE $16.28 FOR ONLY $9.95 (Exch.)

DAVID CIFELLI 920 Tramen Ave. (Rear) Dial 2-7637 Soviet Planes In Air Over Japan Get Rough Deal TOKYO i — A Foreign Office spokesman here warned that Soviet planes which invade Japan’s territory can expect more gunfire from U. S. interceptors. Two -American jets and two Russian propeller-driven craft tan- gled over Northern Japan Monday, One Red plane was riddled with machine-gun bullets in a brief air duel and was smoking when it. sped back to the Russian Kuriles with its comrade. Mitsuo Tanaka, the spokesman, told a news conference the inci- dent “‘is indicative of the treatment other planes will get if they come over. “When any foreign country in- vades Japanese territory,” he said, “and we feel it is against our national security,.we will ask the U. S. Air Force to assist us in the same way it did.” Tanaka said his government is satisfied with a report on the inci- dent received through the Ameri- can Embassy. “We got a notice,” he said, “from U. S authorities that Soviet- type planes shot first and the Americans responded. The Japa- ;mese government believes it is true.” BILL'S PAWN SHOP 716 DUVAL ST.

But they enjoy war pic- {tures too. Capt. Paul Hopkins of Berkeley, Calif, a Korea veteran and ¢! tech- nical adviser on Columbia's “Mis- sion Over Korea.” the mistakes in war pictures,” explained the Army officer. “But we like them anyway.” © He mentioned that John Wayne’s “The Sands of Iwo Jima” was one of the most popular war epics. |“One Minute to Zero,” the Robert | Mitchum film, was also well liked j despite the many bloopers it con- | tained. ) “When most men go into com- |bat,” Capt.

That's why the | Army wants war pictures to be | done as accurately as. possible.” | For example, the “Mission Over Korea” script. had @ couple of Army men killing nine guerrillas. The Army requested that the num- ber be shaved down to five, which seemed more probable: Capt. Hopkins ‘lew an. observa- tion plane for an artillery outfit during his Korean service. “I flew around 300 missions,” he said, “and drew everything from a bawling out for one flight to the Silver Star for another.” The movie soldiers in ‘Mission Over Korea” are John Derek and John Hodiak. I found them in con- flicting moods. Derek is sweating out his Co- lumbia contract, which has two years to go. He is still complain- ing, among other things, that mov- ies aren’t written for lads his age. “Pm 26, but I look much young- jer,” he remarked. “The script writers just don’t write dialogue for actors of my age. Most of the established stars are much older, and the scripts are aimed at them. So when I am cast in a picture, I look silly reading the dialogue intended for men much older than I am,” is offered were the same kind id done“at “Metro—the best pal of Clark Gable, etc. But I finally away from all that.” ~ “Capsule review: “I love Melvin” is a giddy young musical that should win friends among enter- tainment seekers, Among its assets are a literate musical score, the screen’s best young dancer and light comedian, Donald O’Connor, and*the fresh and facile Debbie Reynolds.
