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.

A $1.00 Bill is a certificate issued under the direction of Congress.
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.
