TOKYO RAID
HINT OP REPETITION DENVER, July 16. Sergeant P. J. Leonard, who 'was Brigadier-General Doolittle's engi-neer-gunner during the Tokyo raid, said, on the occasion of his receiving the Distinguished Service Cross: "The United States can bomb Tokyo whenever they choose and wipe out half the city in one raid." He added: "The first raid was a lot easier than we anticipated. All the participants would like to go back again, and, from what I gather, we'll get the opportunity."
