I guess you mean the sub-heading.
Headlines and subs are NOT punctuated except for colons, thus
“Miller to Unions : Drop Dead”
Answer by checkmate
It depends on the house style that usually does eschew punctuation to convey an atmosphere of immediacy but a sentence should begin with a capital letter and end in a full stop (period to Americans and Scots of a certain age).
