Bulgaria put Is Protestant churchmen on trial today on charges of espionage, treason and black marketing and one of them n-o7'psly pleaded guilty to crimes against the state.
 He is Nikola Naumov, Bap- tist minister and one of the four main defendants. The communist government said all Is had con fessed.c
 Naunov spoke for two hours about his activities, which the government claims were treason able. The clergymen were accused of spying for the United States and Britain. The trial followed by IT days the life sentencing in nearby com munist-led Hungary of Josef Car dinal sMindszenty on similar charges.
 French war minister Paul Ram adler was reported to have taken legal action against the French communist party, charging its central committee with melting the army to revolt during the coal mine strike last fall. Ramadier's move came after the French communist boss, Maurice Thorez, repeated a statement that the French people should well come the Russian army if it ever reached France.

A DANGEROUS TAX

(By George s. Benson, President Harding College)
 There's talk in Washington of four billion dollar tax increase. If Congress permits this siphoning of in and savings from the people into the federal treasury the results be dangerous for the whole nation This is fact regardless of whether not the President and his administration could be cramped in spending proposed fortytwo billion dollar budget. Of course like Senator Mcclellan told hoefoks re- gently Mr. Trumans program means that taxes can go only one way up, up, UP
 Senator Fullbright tried to the msgivings of the economy by pointing out that saving fed era money and reducing taxes is question of "what you are willing to give up That is problem all right And it takes courage and unsefshness from each cit gen. to get the to it. One that economy is not the rule that courage and unselfishness little known.
 Too many of us have the attitude of the we'll known politician who said that he had voted for tax bill against appropriations bill If we manage to- fool ourselves into thinking the other fellow going to have pay for the handouts, then show enhusi asm about economy Citizens and Congressman alike too often see economy fine thing when it's not close to home but work like mad for all the government "aid" they get-for themselves.
 One thing is wrong with the question Senator Full bright asked about what would give up It puts the burden of proof on the citizen who would economical That proof belongs elsewhere Every bureaucrat who demands funds should explain and justify the expend lure of every doar Spending is the easiest thing in the

 Foreign minister Moshe Sher- to< of Israel said the armistice would be 'momentous event in the life of the Middle East" It was difficult for Jewish officials to contain their jubilation.
 The armistice was a consider able achievement also for the United Nations.
 Iraq notified Bunche she would approve agreements reached by the "neighbors of Palestine Egypt, Syria, Lebanon and Trans Jordan. Saudi Arabia said she does not consider an armistice necessary. Yemen, the seventh member of the Arab League ar rayed against Israel, has been in- active.
 Shots rang out again in block aded Berlin, but without casualty. Russian soldiers fired on a West ern German police car which strayed several hundred yards mo the Soviet sector. Russian controlled police fired at the two other border points on German trucks which ran the blockade safely.
 The Russian-licensed Taegliche Rundschau acknowledged the al lied counter blockade is hurting. It reported farming in Eastern Germany is limping because it lacks enough machinery.
 Bulgarian foreign minister Vas sil Kolarov told his communist parliament the Vatican is linked with dark forces" trying to start another world war. He demanded new restrictions on religion.
 Hungary scheduled another re- ligious trial for Monday of 14 all leged accomplices of Josef Car dinal Mindszenty. They are ac- cused of foreign currency specu- lation.

world to do. Whether some bureaucrat spends waste fully and needlessly out of tax funds-thats something he should have answer for.
 Wherein lies the danger to the nation in heavier taxes at this time? It is proposed that the burden of four bi
 lion dollar tax increase be placed upon corporations and businesses. This might look to like easy way to shift the tax load onto somebody else Actually tax that is shooudered by business still borne by the peo- plebecause people buy the products of corporations that are owned by people.
 At present the nations business corporations pav 38 per cent tax income Earnings distributed to own may get taxed up to 92 per cent Other taxes aso are levied upon corporations.) Tremendous sums, therefore, handed to Uncle Sam by industry But right now, the nations economists are agreed that Americas industry must have huge amounts of addi- tional capital for growth and for expansion There's danger if instead there billions must be poured into Washington
 Any industrial plant that is able to spend money continually for expansion for newer, better equip ment is a corporation moving toward failure An amount roughly equal to the Presidents proposed bud get of ortytwo billion dollars is the least ought to put this year into industrial plant If America to have the industrial strength it should have jobs to remain plentiful and if wages be high-then we had better have about penaizing our indus try. America lose out by exactng too much take from business
 permit taxes that take away nearly all profits we're heading for bankruptcy and depression. Our so- |calistninded poltcos say lot about the need for this giveaway and that handout But unless industry allowed to expand odernze, and meet today's needs there be nothing at all to of these days When taxes take what would be invested and when incentive to invest is killedthe country will go into reverse Another four billion dollars in taxes on corporations would be most unwse. s tete
