Second Mate 'Tames • Livermore of
the Merchant Marinearrived .home
in Uplands, Calif., recently on a
three-day leave just in, time to take
part in the annual Court of Honor
of Old Baldy Council as a member
of ,his Upland Boy •Scout Troop 4.
With New Guinea and Leyte
among the many far Pacific ports
he has touched, Livermore is sharer
of a Presidential citation' ,awarded
'his ship as result of the craft
Weathering a dawn to dark Japannse
aerial attack.
"I never believed much in the
stories of Japanese pilots' suicide
dives until this attack, but now I'm
convinced,” he declared, as he des
bribed how a Nip plunged his plane
for their ship.
"When it happened," he said,
"I was on the ship's bridge and
at the intercom trying to call the
engine room to order full speed
ahead. Just then, the batteries on our
boat aliened up with, such a roar that
neither the engineer nor -I could hear
each other."'
"It's a good thing we didn't hear.,"
ILivermore declared, "because if we
liad gotten.full speed ahead the'
plummeting plane -would have plung-
ed into the bridge where I was. As
it was, the Jap sheared off the top of
the mast 30 feet from the bridge,
crashed;into the sea about 20 feet
off ship and ,blew u`p, 'showering
• plane wreckage all ever us. Only four
of eur crew were Injured, and they're.
all back on, lire job again:"
