MASSACRE BAY. Attu Island May Delayed American war planes met fleet of Japanese bornbers over the southern tip O. Attu yesterday and shot down five of Is Mitsubushi twin-motored ships and dispersed the others bent on attacking American positions and ships in the loading harbor.
 American Lightning fighters, el- though outnumbered about three 10 enc, suffered only two losses. One of our pilots was rescued. In less than 24 hours later the Japanese aircraft appeared the second time but the Army forces ashore and the Navy vessels were s1 the alert.
 In the first attack, the entire air battle took place at the edge of visibility of our troops on the beach at Massacre Bay and they could see some of our planes man euvering as they caught the Japa- nese from above They could hear the odd sound of the Japanese mo- tors. In fact they had ringside seats. They saw the dramatic crash

SEATTLE, June 1-Sesttle and west coast exporting firms supply ing the normal requirements of the Alaska civilian population will be assisted by the Food Distribution Administration in immediately ob- taining necessary Territorial sup plies for next winter, Donald w.

 An agreement has been reached between FDA and the Department of the Interior through which pro- ducers hitherto reluctant to fill orders for the exports will be per- mitted to charge commodities de- livered to the exporting firms for shipment to Alaska against Gov ernment set aside orders, the an- nouncement stated.
 Immediate action in the situation was necessary, Hagerty pointed out, due to the fact that unless supplies are available for shipment on or before June Is receipt of the com modities in Alaska would be de- layed for approximately one year.

Eyewitness Tells of
 Air Battle Off Atfu;
 Dramatic Res(ue

of one American plane just off the harbor's mouth and the rescue of Pilot Lieut. J. K Geddes, of Alta dena, Calf, by a Navy Kingfisher plane.
 The Kingfisher alighted on the water, picked up the fighter pilot, then unable to fly again with the extra load was able to taxi two miles to a tender where I guess they were taken aboard.
 Small boats in the harbor also went out to attempt the rescue.
 The enemy planes did not att tempt to attack our lines on Attu but did strafe a destroyer.
 In the second attack, the Jap anese planes returned after our own heavy bombers worked on the Chichagof installations. The enemy planes did not come within range of our land anti-aircraft guns.
 The enemy planes must have come a long distance, possibly from Paramashiro, or carrier. They were land planes.

You can help enact this law-by wiring your congressman urging his aid in passing the bill Mail him copy of this paper
 It took a World War to educate the American people on how to end depression. War forced us all to cooperate and concentrate on the job in hand putting down the Axis upstarts and ending the war as soon as possible.
 In one short year we are well on the way of doing this. We believe that in two years the job will be done It would have been no bigger job for us to have ended the depression in two years # we had had the good sense to use the same methods we have used in war.
 What did We do in tackling this war job? Why we opened the doors of the Treasury wide and said, Expenses be hanged, this job must be done and done quickly, regardless of expense"
 We opened the national treasury doors and whatever was needed to organize and equip big army and navy we bought and paid for; and suddenly discovered that in the process of spend ing unheard of sums of money we were becoming rich and prosperous again. In single year we raised the national income from about eighty billion to one hundred and thirty-seven billions
 "a gain of more than fifty billions in single year. This fact has given us courage. The de- pression had us licked. We were afraid of going

into debt We said that if this nation ever got into debt to the tune of a hundred billions we would never get out of debt.
 Now with net gain for the nation of apprOxi- mately fifty billions in one year, national debt of two or three hundred billions doesn't look so frightening. Even debt of five hundred billions could be paid off in full in ten years if were on full wealth production in this country.
 We'll can't We do in peace time what we had to do in war? Couldn't we have licked the Axis You bet we could And could have done it without all the haste and waste and fright and confusion that have accompanied our war effort.
 The Townsendites say Keep the doors of the national treasury open to the outflow of money; but keep the inflow equal to the outflow by taxing all the adult population and all the business of the nation on the gross intake of money each month.'
 Use two or three billions of this tax money every month to buy national, mutual insurance for everybody, and pay out each month to the insured = the old above sixty, the blind, the crippled the deaf, the widows with children - all the physically ncapacitated, an equal share of these two three billion, whatever SC tax on the nations gross income will produce, and tell them they must spend the entire amount they receive within thirty days to qualify for the next months payment.

PAY ROLL REPORT
DUE OCTOBER 30
Employers Must Include
Names And Account
Numbers OF Staff

In filling their next quarterly
nav roll reports, employers of
this area must remember to in
rlude the name and account num-
her of each new employee in add
ition to wage data for their other
EMPLOYEES. N. A. Avera. manager Of
the local field Office of the Social
Security board. said Wednesday.
Deadline for the next report and
tax return is October 30.
According TO Mr.. Avera, each
Individual worker has separate
ledger sheet, upon which his earn
ings are credited. His wage record
is made UP OF wage items - each
item an amount of wages paid to
him during a three-month period.
The wage item is taken from the
report which the employer makes
TO the government every three
months, as required by law. On
his report, the employer lists the
name Of each employee, his social
security number. and the amount
of wages paid him. If a person
receives wages from three en-
ployers during three-month per-
iod, there will be three wage items
for that quarter to be recorded
in his amount If he works for
only one employer, there will be
only one wage item for him in
the three-m0nth period.
Mr.. Avera pointed out that it
is to the advantage of the employ
er as well as to that of his en-
ployes that he make an accurate
and complete social security re-
port.
He explained that while the So
elal security tax report is made
