Budget Director Sees Possible Balance For 1955 56 and 1956 57
Budget Director Rowland Hughes after talks with President Bleen says a balanced federal budget may be achievable for the current 1955 56 year ending June 30 and for 1956 57. He cautions against predicting tax cuts and notes defense funds will not be cut to balance. The 1955 deficit was projected at 1.7 billion dollars, but higher revenues and efficiency could erase it. The budget goes to Congress in January.
