Karl C. Herbet, Licensee PRONE: SHORE ROAD 5-1600 Saga of LaffeyYank Destroyer last enemy planes had been destroyed by gunfire or American planes. When the last fire was out it was found there were 31 of her officers men listed as killed thana or missing in action. Another 60 were wounded. Her gunners had shot down eight Japanese planes and probably a ninth.

Added to the six suicide crashes, that made a score for the Laffey of 14 certains and one probable. Officer Tells the Story The story of the destrover's greatest trial by fire and bomb was told by one of the ship's communications officers. Lt. Frank Manson. The first enemy plane, he said, was brought under fire at 7:45 a.m.

It dropped its bomb, missed and got away. Then dozens of enemy planes-probably up to 36 ranging as far away as 40 miles -were reported in the area. Twenty of them converged on the Laffey. Four vals-enemy dive bomberscame at the ship. All four were shot down at ranges of 3,000 to 10.000 yards.

Then the Laffey's 40 mm. gunners bagged a suicide plane before it could crash onto the deck A sixth Japanese plane was ploded by intense fire from the Laffey so close that it caused the destroyer's first casualty. A man was killed by flying metal. The tempo of the battle mounted. Other planes attacked, bombed and were destroyed.

One bomb jammed the ship's rudder while it was hard left. Many Men Killed One enemy suicide plane demolished a gun mount, killing many men. Fires raged in three compartments below and repair parties worked feverishly control the flames as the battle continued above. Then two enemy planes dived into the Laffey within a space of 30 seconds. The two planes sealed off openings to the repair parties fighting the fires below decks.

Many died then from suffocation and burns. The destroyer's gunners shot down a twin-engined Japanese plane with a five-inch shell that exploded in the nose of the enemy machine, disintegrating it. As the action tapered off, another Japanase trying a suicide dive hit the yardarm and crashed into the Pacific. Another dropped 3 bomb that exploded in the wardroom, killing wounded men being treated at a battle' dressing station there. The plane that dropped the final bomb was shot down by Amer- ican planes.

Not a Gun Abandoned Continued from Page Lieutenant Manson said Commander Becton escaped injury but seaman knocked him down once when he was in danger from a suicide plane." Lieutenant Manson said one sailor was wounded three times. The first two times he returned to the battle. He died from the third wound. Not a single gun was abandoned, Lieutenant Manson despite the fury of the fighting and the winged all around as planes exploded, spraying flaming gasoline on the ship. He said it looked at one time as if it might be necessary to abandon ship.

That was when Commander Becton declared: "I'll never abandon ship as long as a gun will fire." When the fight was over the Laffey, battered but saved, returned to a safer area. Rites for Lt. S. G. Verme Huntington, May 25 Mr.

and Mrs. George Verme of Carley Ave. have arranged for a memorial mass at St. Patrick's R. C.
