UTERARY
GUIDEPOST
By JOHN SELBY
“THEN THERE WAS ONE/* By
Eugene Burnt (Harcouri, Brace;
$2.50).
When Eugene Burns began
'.vriting “Then There Was One”
he must have made a decision.
He could follow the pattern of
the slick magazines, which is to
be “terrific,” to slap everybody
verbally on the back, from dicta*
tors to diaper babies, to dive
bomb his reader, as it were. Or
he could report what he saw in
choice English, and let the un
varnished truth do the work.
He decided to report, and it
was the right decision. He begins
with the carrier “Enterprise”
sailing from Pearl Harbor to
Wake under prophetic orders, to
deliver a load of planes. Before
she got back to her base it had
been attacked. With one exception
the “Enterprise” participated in
every major action of the Paci
fic war though 1942, and although
security reasons prevent Mr.
Burns’ bringing the story up to
date, she is still in there, still
pitching, though not now alone. At
the time of Pearl Harbor there
were seven first line carries. Four
were sunk in the first year, one
saw action in another theater, and
at the decisive moment another
was unable to take part. The
“Enterprise” did the work of six
carriers, at the end, and its job
is one that Mr. Bums believes un
equalled by any ship of any navy.
I think the story, as told with
dignity and Sincerity by its au
thor, is one of the very best out
of this war. “Enterprise” was
lucky, of course, but with the
kind of luck that is mostly skill.
At Midway Air Group Command
er McClusky made a right deci
sion and turned the tide; at
Guadalcanal Commander Turner
Caldwell was caught out hy dark
ness, and decided to land his 11
planes at Henderson Field, thus
enabling our marines to hold their
position. ■ :
But for all the brilliant inci
dent, fully reported, there is a
steady accompaniment of sturdy,
strong work—in the Gilbert-Mar
shall raid, at Wake, at Marcus Is
land, at Midway, Guadalcanal, at
the Stewart Islands, the Santa
Cruz Islands, the Solomons.
These are the beads of the Big
citation is the highest honor any
ship can be awarded, and the Big
E.’s rosary. The Presidential unit
E. got it first. For “Bull” Halsey
as for the Swede who rescued
seven frying men deep in the car
rier, it was deserved. Mr. Bums,
who first reported all this for
the Associated Press, deserves a
share too.
"DOC" PRESTON
RETURNS TO NOME
“Doc” Preston returned to
Nome after spending 16 years on
the Yukon. He recently sold out
his business there, and is renew
ing old friendships here. For
many years he owned and oper
ated the Polar Hotel on First
Avenue.
