The federal government may end the 1950 fiscal year about $1.4 billion less in the red than forecast six weeks earlier, with potential near $2 billion improvement. Tax receipts run above April forecasts while spending lags, signaling a deficit well under $4 billion by year end. The biggest savings arise from military outlays, RFC mortgage purchases, and lower construction costs.
