President Cites Verdict Given in Earlier Case, OPINION OF 1867 HELD INVALIDATED White House Agrees Up on Two-Year Eeplace ment for Triple-A. WASHINGTON, Jan. 21. W Shortly after agreeing on a new two-year program to replace AAA, President Roosevelt termed the supreme court's refusal of a re hearing in the processing tax case an apparent reversal of an earlier leading case in constitutional law. Injunction Issne Contended The president said he discussed with administration leaders this . afternoon the implications of the court's action and their effect on a" federal law which states that no injunction shall be issued to restrain the collection of any tax. In deciding the Louisiana rice millers case, a week ago, the su preme court bad ruled that an injunction to stop collection ot processing taxes was justified be cause the levy was an illegal "ex action" and not a true tax. The court implied that the un constitutionality of the law made the "exaction" not a tax. No Conclusion Offered The president referred to the earlier case of Bailey vs. George, In which be said the court held that, although child labor taxes were unconstitutional, an injunc tion to Btop their collection was barred by the federal law. Mr. Roosevelt offered no flnaL conclusion on the supreme .court deck-ion except to say In response to questions by reporters at his press conference that the ruling apparently reverses the stand taken by the supreme, court in upholding the right of congress to levy taxes without restraint un der the act of 1867. DETAILS AGREED UPON WASHINGTON, Jan. 21. UP Details of a new two-year farm program wore agreed upon today by President Roosevelt and con gressional leaders. Bills providing necessary amendments to the soil conservation act will be presented immediately. , The new legislation will be in troduced probably tomorrow by , Senator Bankhead (D-Ala) ana Rep. Jones (D-Texas), -;. , Senator Robinson, of Arkansas, the democratic leader, who an nounced a final decision on the legislation at the White House, said that the question of new taxes to replace the outlawed processing levies was discussed but no conclusions were reached. Immediate Action Wanted The conference of congressional leaders. Secretary Wallace, At torney General Cummlngs and others was held shortly after Wal lace broadcast a militant demand "for practical and Immediate ac tion" on the farm problem pre sented by AAA's death. The two year limitation on tho new program was not explained Immediately, but it loft the door open to further teats by the su preme court on the extent of fed eral farm legislation. Cummlngs said the problem ot taxes was discussed "only inci dentally" and would be worked out "within two or three weeks" by the treasury department and justice department lawyers. The attorney general said he was "confident" some method can be found to eliminate the "un fairness" to those processors who paid the processing taxes, rather than securing injunctions to stop collections. , Cummlngs expressed concern over the supreme court's refusal to review Its ruling against the doctrine "pay first and t litigate later." ,.
