dmvG.iy write jof men "who ylll
V.ot come back" from their danger-
ous missions of war
Raymond Clapper himself did not
come back from his hazardous
mission—that of reporting news of
thr Marshall Island invasion. But
today some 24 hours afier his
death was announced, one of his
last and perhaps the last of his
newspaper columns Was presented
to the thousands it readers who
bad learned that hte name stood
for the highest in American Jour-
nalism .
Clapper wrote the column, while
th< carrier was steaming into
battle He mentioned the "ap-
proaching' D-day. indicating it was
written before the invasion ac-
tually was opened.
Remembering the grim, deter-
mined looks on the faces of the
carrier's pilots as they neared ac-
tion. Clapper wrote:
"You have a sense of living in
u wprld'-' apart from what you
knew at home and there is almost
no talk of life back in the states
now
"You live only minute by minute
through the routine that carried
you smootJilv. as if drifting down a
liver, toward the day of battle."
As the pilots receive informa-
tion and Instiuct.ions he said, they
act “much like a bored classroom
taking In n lecture with as little
effort as pr ssible. instead of fight-
ing men .tonic of whom will not
come back from the missions un-
