The article lauds the Iwo Jima victory as the Pacific’s high tide, noting Marines suffered 4,189 killed and 15,368 wounded with 441 missing.

A garbled WW II era column discusses German anti-Nazi resistance efforts, foreign slave workers, and guerrilla activity. It mentions Stalin’s inaction, six million slaves, and bombed Berlin escapes.

It closes with social notes on Sal Bloom’s birthday party and violet anecdotes.
Ernie Pyle writes of a small Pacific carrier nicknamed the Tron Warren, praising its stubborn nobility and gritty prowess. He catalogs its long voyage since November 1943, 149000 miles sailed, 228 enemy planes shot at, 29 Japanese ships sunk, and its daily life with barrbers, a laundry, libraries, and a citylike crew. The piece honors crew grit, sacrifice, and pride amid grim wartime duty.
