Sometimes strangers take over the house and the man who built it is forfroUen. ft has been the other way with Ernie PyJe. Thousand? nf strangers have passed, through the small white cottage he built here ns a refuse from his wanderings. But the more who come, the more Ernie Pyle is remembered. Ernie at his death passed out oE Ihe stream of the world's news.

But he has never lost his peculiar holtl on the American heart. In death be still gives a feeling of 'Quiet comfort to those who visit the little spot out of all the world be picked as his anchor against life's disaster. He bas a perfect memorial. His Bimple white clapboard cottage with the white picket fence around a tribute to his love of his Indiana now a city library. It has 10.000 books.

The garngcthat Ernie turned into guesl room is about to be con- room. He'd Like That I (hinlt Ernie, who hnd a lot of trouble but no children to eive him the trouble that rewards, would like that. In his own childhood ha didn't have so nice a. place to go and read. Ernie end "that wife.

slept in 800 hotels in six years and Journeyed 250.000 miles when they chose to make a gypsy retreat here. One of the reasons was to glye shelter to the books they had gathered. "We were like trees growing In the sky. without roots," Ernie wrote. "So we decided to acquire sort of home plate, that we could run to on occasion, and then run from again." Why did he choose Albuquerque fis his traveler's rest? In a piece explaining why, he mentioned as another loved place.

Honolulu, where he is buried today among the dough boys whose death he shared. But in life he gave this explanation for settling here: "Our front yard stretches as Jar as you can see. Ml. Tayloi, 65 miles away, is like a framed picture In our front window." He mentioned also the friendliness here, the vastness, the rabbits that came out every evening, the quail on his lawn every morn- Ing, the meadow larks across the unpaved road that said things like "your face is awfully pretty," and "here conies the preacher." The rabbits, the quail, anrt the view are partly gone. They paved the street by his house, built neiv houses across the road that hide the far-away mountain except in winter.

But there are children cross the way, and Ernie, I am sure, would prefer them to his mountain view. Most of those who come to his former home today nre children, eager for the dreams that books bring. But also some 10.000 artult visitors have come to see. the unpretentious home that Ernie built. It bus little souvenirs of I sunelasscs.

a Davidson bust of his likeness, the dust goggles he' wore in Tunisia. Bui for some inexplicable reason! the tiling that visitors most is the old 10-gallon cowboy hat he wore around the country in. the days before he knew war Fricnrls fall "Most of the visitors are either boys who served oversea? with Ernie or the parents of soldiers," said the nice, faced libra-, 1 rian, Mrs. Marian Plynn. "But they come from all over the world.

And, I don't know why, it is the empty hat thai affects ihcm emotionally. They see it and start to cry. 1 never met Enie in my life, but feel like I know him." She said that Cheetah, the Pyle family pet. died last fall. It had been cared for by Mrs.

Pyle's nurse. Cheetah's doghouse Is still uninhabited in Ihe library yard. I thumbed through Ernie's own small cluster of books in the library, and found a sentence he wrote in London in 1941 that I have never forgotten: "I could not bear to think that for me there might never, never be another spring." So tar as I know that was Ihe only time Ernie put into print his own desire to live. And as I stepped into the warm Albuquerque summer from the hoine that Ernie built and never lived to really en- Joy I well. I felt I would' give half of the unknown part of liie that I have left myself for five minutes there in the sunshine with him alive again.

If the Lord ever built friendship in a man, he put it in Ernest Taylor Pyle, dead at 44. weather, enabling it to recover 1 froimhe effects o( cool weather, life and thrips. Bui now lhal seed- ling diseases have almost di.sap. peared. even Ihe eolton needs rain.
