today at q National Lutheran
Council meeting here.

the Gospel and Of the Christian
witness is being silenced with
threats Of oppressive measures and
resultant fear" the Rev. John A.
|Scherzer, secretary Of the coun-
CHS Desk for Foreign Affairs. as
serted.
Communist Policy Cited
Communist strategists calcu-
late that If no young men and
women with adequate training.
Feducation and experience can be
developed, the next generation win
be without Christian leadership, "
he said. "This Is an important
elementsin the communistic effort
TO destroy the effectiveness Of the
churches"
Young people not occupied In
studies or other work are drafted
for forced labor In state-operated
projects. including the uranium
mines, MIR. Scherzer said. To
meet this crisis the Lutheran
church has opened vocational
training shops and private schools
financed BY money contributed BY
American Lutherans for inter,
church aid in Europe. This aid
decreased from 81 million in 1856
to $3.50 900 last year. he said, but
pointed out that improved eco
nonaic conditions In these areas
helped overcome the aid loss.

CITIZEN POTATO STORY POINTS TO

Who is it that gets lambastng every time the gov
eminent nterferes with production either by curtament

to that question Tuesday under the headline Po

Program of early $685." Always, always the consumer
socked by order bolster up prices
the benefit of a segment of the population.
Key West housewives recall that, year ago,
they bought pounds of potatoes for 20 cents That
too cheap the bureaucrats in the Department of Agr
culture concluded They directed farmers to cut produc
20 percent the effects of the have created
artificial shortage result of which Key West house
wives pay from eight nine cents pound for potatoes
What is happening today in the governmental boost
ing of the price of potatoes happened in boosting the price
of pork 18 years ago when Roosevelt President
Then the Department of Agriculture ordered the killing
of millions of little pigs that artificial shortage in
pork would be created, with resulting higher prices.
Washington has consideration for everything in
economy except the consumers pocketbook That may be
drained of its last penny and the bureaucras stepped
their planned economy do not bat eye Hike prices for
foodstuff tack taxes and let the pay

Lists of a few of the thousands of hidden taxes re-
Gently have been published in magazines and
papers and always always, the taxes paid not by
manufacturers, wholesalers retailers, but by the
sumner.
Several months ago The Citizen pointed out that a

'The ultimate consumer" - he is the

How long will that condition last? Just long
consumers seemingly content to complain singy in
stead of acting coneertedy to curb kill the prctice
which has spread from the federal government to the
states.
