Washington March 11 analysts predict the 1947 fiscal year will close with a balanced or small surplus, aided by higher tax receipts and slower spending. They caution final totals depend on four months of tax collections and peak seasonal outlays, while Greece aid is unlikely to derail balance prospects. The Senate also moved on a school reorganization bill amid debate on rural district consolidation and tax measures.

Labor Secretary opposes recognizing communist party in US
Secretary Schwellenbach testified to House Labor Committee that recognizing the Communist Party would allow it to elect public officials and even members of Congress. He predicted labor strife but said some bills could curb industry chaos. He noted difficulty proving communist ties among workers and cited six dismissals without clear proof. He rejected mass picketing and urged local authorities to act. China says it will not discuss internal affairs at the Moscow conference, asserting sovereignty and representation safeguards. The Nanking and Shanghai reports describe protests and military statements amid a broader stalemate over Taiwan and Formosa.
