machine gunners refused and re-
sumed their fire, but Sergt. Stern
stood erect under fire until ordered
to take cover.
Later in the engagement the for
ward elements of the company were
ambushed, and several men were
wounded. Seeking once more to save
the situation by ruse, Sergt. Stern
ran into the center of the contested
area shouting to the enemy and to
his own men to cease fire. He then
persuaded the enemy troops that
they were surrounded, and further
resistance was useless. At this point
six members of the ambushed party
dropped their weapons and surren-
dered"
The citation concluded:
"Sergt Sterns' GOODNESS and pres
ence OF mind under fire enabled his
company to continue it's advance "

Flying Bomb Attacks
Diminish; Churchill
May Hint at Reason
~ the Associa ted Press.

LONDON, July 5.-The volume of
flying bomb attacks on Southern
England diminished last night as
it had the night before and belief
was expressed in some quarters to-
day that Prime Minister Churchill
might hint at the reason in a state
ment to Commons tomorrow.
His statement on the latest Nazi
menace originally was set for yes
terday but was postponed. Foreign
Secretary Anthony Eden told the
House Mr.. Churchill could give
fuller statement tomorrow.
Some members of Commons were
understood to be ready to ask for
secret session If Mr.. Churchill
fails to give what they consider
sufflcient information. Both the
public and Commons showed a GER
tain impatience with the delay.
Questions. on the buzz bomb situa-
ton accumulated for Mr.. Churchill
to answer.
Nazi Deal to Be Spurned.
1t already was we'll known that
Allied fighters have been blasting
dozens of the robot planes out of the
sky before they get far inland, but
whether the Prime Minister would
deem it wise to go into details of
other means of combating them
was questionable.
1t seemed certain that Mr..
Churchill would scornfully dismiss
any German suggestions of a deal
to stop the rocket bomb attacks and
would rule out any immediate re-
prisals that would require even the
slightest diversion of forces from
the battlefield
Throughout the region under at
tack it was notable that there was
no suggestion that a single bomber
or other weapon be diverted to meet
the flying bombs if it meant taking
anything away from the fighting
front.
There was general feeling that
some indication of the casualties
and perhaps more specific deflni-
ton Of the area being attacked
might be given.
The Budapest radio said last
night that casualties in England
caused by the German rocket
bombs were estimated at 10000
persons There was no conflrma-
tion of this figure from any other
source
Retaliation Demanded.
Demands for retaliation still were
being made in England. Some felt
that with the enormous resources
now at the disposal of the Allies, |
the government was not being as
tough with the enemy as it might |
be.
The Daily Mial said:
AT this stage of the war the pub !
lie are not so willing to take it
without retaliation as they were /,
when we had nohing with which to
give it
Cairo and Athens were saved |,
from air attack by threats of bomb
ing of Rome-and that was three |
years ago. There is such a thing
as being too correct"
One question facing Mr. Churchill |
concerned reports. that the flying |
bomb had been developed in Spain
Mr.. Eden yesterday said he himself
had mo eviednce" concerning such |
reports.
Believes Reports Unfounded.
In Commons today, Mr. Eden said
Britain had received no official in
formation from the u S. S. r. say
ing German flying bombs were de-
veloped in Spain He added he was
convinced that reports of the Span
iards aiding enemy research at
Pamplona ARE without foundation"
