Six Sailors Drowned When Liberty Boat Capsizes Thursday, am.
 Continued from Page One) tions ashore, according to his testimony.
 Airman Second Class C., F1u- diker of Nome Field, Air Police man on duty, plunged into the surf and swam out to rescue one sailor unable to make shore and was in turn aided by Irwin Greenhalgh, city night patrolman, while Bill Shepherd made several trips, all risking their lives for the exhausted sailors. Some of those who remainding standing in the water for almost two hours included Chief of Police Clyde Glass, Clyde Godsbe, Harry John son and many others, and as the police chief expressed it: "Ev- erybody was ready to give hand, thinking nothing of themselves, and only trying to save the sail ors."
 Bill Shepherd said: Every time I went under 1t seemed to me that Tommy Martin was there to pull me up."
 Another volunteer who assisted said the visibility was so poor with the rain and wind that one sailor would have been missed al- together if he hadn't yelled for help.
 One of the sailors, after being rescued, turned back to aid com panion, giving him artificial res piration in an attempt to save his life, before he accepted help for himself.
 One of the local rescuers when asked if he wasn't cold standing in the water, said, "You, know, I never thought about it until it was all over, and then I realized I was about paralyzed with cold"
 L. Chase of the NC. Co.,, made several heroic attempts to right the boat and had to be helped ashore. The boat was finally righted Thursday afternoon when the storm had abated.
 The tugboat Lucille of the Lomen Commercial Co.,, explained by Johnny Fagerstrom, and a military LCM attempted a rescue by sea but the wind was too strong and the water too turbu- lent. A small boat from the tank CT was also reported to have been in the water, searching.
 The names of the dead, missing and injured are being withheld at the request of the Navy.
