23 Army Fliers Receive Medals For Japan Raid
20 Cent Bomb sight Used in Attack, Airmen Reveal
WASHINGTON, June 27.-
Twenty-three army fliers who took part in the American raid on Japan last April 18, received distinguished flying crosses today at nearby Boiling field. The airmen, who returned to this country recently, brought additional details of the havoc and confusion wrought by the raiders in attacking Tokyo and four other cities on April 18. They also disclosed that the secret Norden bomb sights were left behind because of risk they might fall into enemy hands. An improved bomb sight costing only twenty cents to make, but adequate for hitting targets from the extremely low altitudes at which the raiders flew, was substituted in each of the plane.

Germany Still Chief Enemy,
Public Thinks
 Emphasis on Front In Europe Strikes Responsive Chord
By GEORGE GALLUP Director America Institute of Public Opinion.
PRINCETON, N. J., June 27.—Despite the Japanese attack on Midway and the landings on the Aleutians, the typical American continues to believe that Germany rather than Japan is the nation's No. 1 enemy. Although there has been an increase since December in the feeling that the Japs may be the greater menace, twice as many people label Germany the main threat today. However, as a great axis pincer movement against the United Nations threatens through the middle East and the Indian ocean, an increasing number say they believe the Jap and the German are about equal as enemies of the American people.
Time Will Tell.
