Both young men denied that either had any drinks prior to the accident Gays mother testified that she had talked to the two about forty five minutes before they were ar- rested and that they were sober. When asked for an explanation as to why he had failed to stop at the time of the accident, Gay explained that owing to the snow drifts in evidence at the hour of the day there was not room for him to stop his machine on East Main street. He didn't consider the mishap to be of any conse- quence, just q case of mudguards scrapeing as the two machines passed.
 The charge of operating a mo- tor vehicle while his license was suspended was filed about three the police checked up on hls ex. authorities following his previous arrest. Gay was fined $100 and costs on the first occasion and the motor vehicle department suspend. ed his license. The case comes under the new law, which com pels a judge to commit person convicted twice of driving while under the influence of liquor, to jail for the period of six months.
 No appeal was taken from to- days sentence and Gay was start ed on his way to New Haven short ly before noon hour In custody of Sergeant John r. Brickel.

A mandatory jail sentence of six months was imposed on Carl Gay 27, of s5 Harper's Ferry road when he was found guilty this morning in police court of operat- ing a motor vehicle while under the influence of liquor. He was convicted as a second offender and the court was obliged to sentencs him to jail. Sentence was sus- pended on two other counts, op. erating a motor vehicle while H. cense was suspended and evasion of responsibiiity. Gays case has been pending several weeks. He was arrested on East Main street following an automobile accident, The "other car" was police auto- mobile operated by Patrolman Jo- seph Mccarthy and Frank Smith. The accused denied the accusations of being under the influence of liquor.
 On the morning of February 9th the police car was headed toward Exchange place. The officers en- countered a machine travelling east. It was showing heavily at the time, for the storm was coni sidered the worst of the season. Gays machine sideswiped the po- lice car, detaching the mudguard. When the two surprised policemen stepped out of their car to inquire as to the identity of the driver. who had "crashed" them they dis covered that the machine kept on its way and was travelling right along. A chase followed and Gay was overtaken about mile from ths scene of the accident.

They stopped the car and question. ed its passengers. There were four men in the machine and at first there was a dispute as to whether Foster or Pesente was the driver. The former, however, is said to have talked and argued himself Into being arrested by interfering with the officers.

Coolidge Has Made
 Sharp Criticism Of
 Govt. Extravagance
Former President Suggests That Wage Banners and
 Business Men Organize SoIidIy to Oppose It

Philadelphia. March 23-UP)-- sharp criticism of governmental extravagance and suggestion that wage earners and business mon organize solidly against 1t arc offered by Calvin Coolidge in an article entitled Debts and Taxes' fin the. current Saturday Evening Post.
 Scarcely anyone questions t.e necessity of some increase of tax rates and the imposition of new taxes. by the national government to pay the present deficit" he wrote. But 1t seems apparent that such remedy ought only to be for the existing emergency that must be met to protect the public credit.
 "The nation has the resources to provide for such action, and they must be used. But the only permanent remedy, the only re- lief for high taxes, Is a reduction of public expenditures. Such a reduction must be made.
 Almost all our governmental units have been taxing. borrowing and spending beyond the means of the people to pay. Taxes are re- maining unpaid. That causes forced sales of property and de- stroys values. The credit of many units is exhausted so that no more money can be borrowed by them.
 rho local governments. on the whole, have been the worst of- fenders and find themselves in the most serious difficultiss. Nothing hut drastic retrenchment win re- store them to financial health. 1t will be q painful operation requir- ing q good deal of executive en- ergy, but 1t can be done. Unless 1t Is done. the suffering and want that will result are beyond estiE a. ton.
 "The only remedy for the situa- tion in which we And ourselves IS an aroused public opinion. High and heavy taxes. The disaster these have brought is felt most keenly by the wage earners, but the source of the evil is most ap- parent to our business interests. Many of these expenditures have been authorized by the appropri- ating power almost under duress. They did not want to do it. But the pressure was nearly all in one direction and there was little en- couragement from tho public in offering resistance.
 "The time has come for com- hination, on a non partisan basis, of wage earners and business men for their mutual protection. They need to be organized, alert and vocal. Then the congress and other bodies will listen because they will feel they have some sup port In resisting further expendi- lures and some encouragement in

pursuing a policy of retrench- ment."
 Coolidge pointed out the fallacy of the theory that because the na- tion's wealth Is more than $300,- 900, 100000 its resources are so unlimited 1t can pay any tax. Most of this wealth cannot be used to pay taxes. he says.
 But collectors will not receive farm, Q home, Q mill, a railroad, or even an automobile. They want cash or bank credits, and cash or bank credits are strictly limited"
 When raw materials and finished product pass through many hands before reaching the consumer, paying a tax at each step. the cost of business becomes prohibitive, resulting in diminished consump- ton. idle plants, over production, unem ployment. and stagnation, Coolidge pointed out.
 Another policy advocated by some is branded as economically unsound in the article-the soak the-rich" slogan of some political demagogue.
 In the first place. Coolidge pointed out, there are not enough, EuIIiCIGuLty ElCH VSopie III tHc United States to contribute enough from their incomes to meet a deficit of $2,000. .0O0 ,0o0; and even though 1t might be possible and legal to confiscate under the tax. ing powers, the situation would not be remedied because the rich could be taxed only once. One tax would exhaust It's source.
 "The national credit Is unques- toned because of some caution in the years of plenty" he said. "The state almost without exception can readily meet their obligations; but many local governments, some of them large, and important cities have impaired their credit; some cannot meet their interest and pay rolls. The effect on property val ues in such localities Is disastrous. When public credit falls, private credit is seriously affected, banks begin to close, and general liqui. dation follows"
