THE COVER — Bob Phillips
- When Admiral Arleigh Burke was tapped from Commander Destroyers Atlantic to Chief of Naval Operations last Sept. 21-25, his staff of keepers, Rhodes Island, was hard put to find suitable farewell gift. It was finally decided to commission naval artist Fred Freeman, whose work has frequently appeared in Collier’s, to paint one of Burke’s outstanding engagements of World War II—“The Battle of Cape St. George,” in which his Little Beaver Squadron sank three Japanese destroyers. Some 50 members of Burke’s staff and destroyer officers who had served under him contributed to the gift fund. The completed picture serves as a backdrop for Collier’s cover photo of the admiral in the upper right-hand corner is Howard Cossoby of Ohio State, named “Back of the Year” of Francis Wallace’s annual Football Preview beginning on page 28.
