THE ACCOUNT OF By United Press Radio Tokyo belatedly ack nowledged the American invas ion of Guam today with a lurid account of bloody fighting on the former U. S. naval station, and attempted to soften the grim admission with claims of "tre mendous" losses inflicted on the attacking marines and army troops. A Japanese Headquarters an nouncement said the Americans had been thrown into "great confusion" by their initial losses, and a supplementary broadcast beamed to Latin-America and heard by FCC monitors said American casualties totaled 4300 men. The enemy accounts did not claim the repulse of the attack ing forces, however, and their claims of American casualties were sharply at variance with official statements from Adm. Chester W. Nimitz' Pacific fleet headquarters. Nimitz reported that the as sault forces suffered only light casualties in the initial stages of the landing Thursday morning, although it was emphasized that resistance was stiffening as the tanks drove inland from their beachheads on the island's west coast.

The possessor of this Certificate (meal ticket) can exchange it for goods and services. What Fixes The Value of a $1.00 bill? Wage rates and rates of profit. How Can the Value of a $1 Bill Be Stabilized? First by the Govt, fixing the minimum wage for common labor at $1.00 per hour. Second by wage earners themselves choosing a labor congress to organize labor courts to establish, rectify and bring to rest wage rates so that wages in one industry will not be out of line with the basic wage of $1.00 per hour established for common labor or out of line with wage rates established for other classes of labor. Collective Determina' tion of Wage Rates must take the place of Collective Bargaining. How Can the State (Government) Profit by Unemployment? If there are unemployed workers and unused capital equipment it is an indication that our 32 million family units have too few $1.00 bills (meal tickets) to spend for goods and services and the Government can profit by the circumstance by putting enough unemployed workers to work in public works so as to build up family unit purchasing power to the level where it will induce and balance capacity production of consum er goods and services. What If Family Unit Purchasing Power Exceeds Capacity Production of Goods and Services With All Workers Employed Full Time in the Production of Wealth? A withholding tax then would have to be levyed on wage income, or a sales tax placed on consumer goods and services sufficient to withdraw enough purchasing power so as to restore the balance between purchas ing power and capacity production.
