ALLEN F aid. 5 WASHINGTON No one ever has yriven such a penetrating pene-trating analysis of his administration admin-istration as the president, himself, when he described New Deal tactics as those of a football team. He explained that he was using play-by-play strategy, a forward for-ward pass a line-plunge, a right end run. then a huddle of back-field back-field p'aycrs to decide on the ne. attack The president did not go any further m his analogy, but it is equally true that m carrying the ball through a broken field, he is the most spectacular player ever in the White House The art of broker. -1 i' ld running, in politics as m football, is a zigzag zig-zag course That, perhaps, explains the frequent fre-quent oscillation ot Roosevelt policies, poli-cies, lrom left to right and back again At this particular moment the New Deal has swung right further than at any previous time in its history of oscillation. And that is why some of us closest observers are getting ready for a sudden and unexpected swing m the opposite op-posite direction - - - Reasons For Conservatism Some of those who used to enjoy en-joy closest proximity to the throne have been amazed at the recent steady drift toward conservatism. conser-vatism. They figured that Roosevelt's Roose-velt's tremendous vote of confidence confi-dence last November was essentially essen-tially an approval of his left wing policies. Despite this, however, the president presi-dent soundly spanked labor permitted per-mitted a purge of radicals from New Deal agriculture activities, and has shown a consistent inclination inclin-ation to look coyly upon the wooing woo-ing of big business. This has caused both horror and mystification m many quarters The former may be understandable, understand-able, but not the latter. Reasons for Roosevelt's recent right swing are not far below the surface First, having plenty of radical support, it was natural for him to beckon to business Every president always craves the unattainable un-attainable unanimity.

Utah, Feb. 18 (U.P) One of the most important tax measures now before the Utah legislature legisla-ture was acted uX)ii favorably favor-ably by a house committee today. to-day. The administration income tax bill, which has already passed the senate, was reported by the house revenue and taxation committee com-mittee with a recommendation that, it pass the house. The house committee, however, made its provisions even more drastic asking that a senate amendment to provide for a $50 property tax offset be repealed. Under the bill as reported to the house, there would be no property prop-erty tax offset, and rates would be greatly increased over the present income tax rates. Rates Are Higher Rates in the bill are 2 per cent for the first $1000 of taxable income in-come :3 per cent for the second $1000 ; 4 per cent for the third $1000; 5 per cent for the fourth $1000; and 6 per cent for the fifth $1000 and all income above. Exemptions would be $500 for single persons; $1000 for married persons, and $200 for each dependent. de-pendent. The measure is a companion measure wdth the corporation franchise tax bill which has also passed the senate. The house committee is expected to report the latter bill Tuesday with favorable fav-orable recommendation. CENTRAL BANK PLAN IS URGED DKTROIT.

I-V1. is U P' The su;ivnu court today handed down decisions in the momentous tfold case approving approv-ing iiiul protecting Nv' Heal monetary policies. Tlie court was divi:led five to four on all cases. Justices supporting- the majority opinion were Chief Justice Charles E. Hughes. Umis I). Brandeis. Harlan F. Stone. Owen J. Roberts and Benjamin N. Cardozo. The minority min-ority on, up. headed hy Justice James C. McReynolds, who entered a 'violent dissent, included Willis Van Denvanter, (u'onre Sutherland and Pierce Butler. The court yrave outright approval to legislation which eliminated urold payments clauses from all private hoi.ds. It threw out other suits. which-S sought to test this legislation as " applied to government bor.ds. Suit Thrown Out The court likewise threw out a suit m which payment at the rate of SI 69 in devalued currency was sought on gold certificates turned in under the treasury's gi Id seizure seiz-ure orders The court resorted to unprecedented unprece-dented procedure by first announcing announc-ing its decisions in the ca-ses and then 'proceeding one by one to the reading of opinions supporting the decisions. In the government bonds and gold certificates case the court held the U. S. court of c';aims. in which the suits were filed, had no authority to entertain such suits. Congress Went Too Far In the Liberty bonds case, the court held that congress went too far in eliminating the g 'Id payment pay-ment clause from government bonds. But it said that any action to recover must be m law. and that the court ! claims had no juris- dlCtK '11 . The supreme court's action in denying the court f claims jurisdiction juris-diction m these cases appeared to leave 'he holders of government bonds and gold certificates no recourse re-course in recovering extra payments, pay-ments, regardless of the fact that the court believed congress went too far m applying the gold clause cancellation to federal b nds. Can't Be Sued The government cannot be sued anywhere except in the court of elaims without its permission. With the court of claims denied permission to entertain these suits the bondholders apparently have no pla.ee to seek compensation. Remedial action in congress would seem t he then' only alternative.
