chester, Va, and president Of the
NAM, said In q press conference yes
terday after his convention speech
that he believes Philip Murray's
prediction Of the need for a third
round Of wage increases is trial
balloon"
Actually, I don't believe Mr..
Murray is out to get wage increase
at this time," Mr.. Bunting said. Il
think 1t is q trial balloon to find out
what the American people think Of
1t and what union people think
of it."
He said in his opinion many union
members would not favor 1t, remem-
bering I'VE had wage increase and
prices went up, then we had another
wage increase and prices went up
again."
Mr.. Bunting ascribed the high
prices to three factors: Imitation
brought about by Government fiscal
policies, wage increases and a deficit
in capital.
Capital Deficit Cited.
The wage costs of the units OF
production have climbed high above
production per man hour, he said
The main reason for this is that
there is a SIPS, ,oOo, ,0Oo, 900 deficit in
capital formation, he said. One
phase of the NAM tax reduction
program Is designed to restore this
capital deficit to industry.
In panel discussion on the eco
nomic outlook, H. B. Arthur, econ.
omist OF Swift & Co., said he be-
lieVes we are in the stage OF boom
where vulnerability is great and
some OF the sustaining forces are be-
coming Increasingly precarious. Not
in a runaway spiral of imitation,
he added, because the Government
has begun to show signs of adopting
a counter-inflationary policy.

ings of $3.50 for a single person
and $4,000 for married persons.
60 Per Cent Reduction Possible.
Those who take reasonable advan-
tage of both the life insurance and
medical deductions would achieve a
tax reduction of as much as 60 per
cent in the lower tax brackets and
a minimum Of 40 per cent through
out all brackets, Mr.. Mitchell said.
OF the tax reduction of $1,000, ,000,-
900 which the NAM has been call
ing for and which Mr.. Mitchell estt-
mated the cuts would bring, he est1-
mated that about $3,000,000 900
would 60 into savings. Although not
all of this would go into risk cap
ital, nevertheless it would be a
start in making up the deficiency in
that respect.
Mr.. Mitchell put at $4,000, 900, 900
the minimum deficit in capital
formation to be made up. This de-
