Budget Nears Balance as Deficit Shrinks
Federal deficit may fall to about 22 billion for this fiscal year and be wiped out in 1946 47 as tax receipts rise two to three billion above January forecasts. Slower demobilization and cuts in military outlays speed up savings. White House and Snyder report a decline in current deficits as expenditures drop and revenues stay strong. In Senate debate Pepper accuses allies of ganging up on Russia prompting Hatch to challenge the claim. Byrnes wins Security Council deferment on Iran case pending Russian troop withdrawal by May.
