THE MORNING HERALD, HAGERSTOWN, MARYLAND far the citizen's 'earned dol Mr It 13 cents shorter, than it jised to be. of the short dollar," he added, is felt acutely In the lower income brackets. whert Jabor spends most of its earnings on living costs. "There is aci outcry for relief from millions of voters," Bunting pointed out. "The political solution is to collect as muchr-of the tax as possible in the higher income brackets, although the higher brackets also supply the venture capital of business.

"Unless labor recognizes excessive taxation as the real cause, it will continue to follow the lead of political and union demagogues in accusing capital of reducing the standard by profiteering." Citing President Truman's report that the securities markets accounted for only about one-sixth of the equity capital required during 1947, Mr. Bunting declared that "until the incentive to risk has been'-restored to America, it will be impossible for capital to be provided for thanew tools, the new industries, the processes which are waiting development." If take a larger share of business profits, the future of jobs and goods will be shortened, he declared'. Calling for a "search for the common sense of wages and the cost of living," Bunting asserted that the two general wage increases since the war reduced-the purchasing value of the wage earner's savings and life insurance. "The operation--wage-raise-without-goods-raise--was futile," he said. "A third round such wage raises could become catastrophic.

A fourth round could be a collectivist conspiracy."

Brethren Churches OpposeJJrofr, UMT Baltimore, April 29 and lay representatives from the 26 Evangelical United Brethren Churches in the Middle Atlantic States went on record today against a temporary draft and universal military training.
