Government Red Ink Expected as Deficit Hits Five Billion
Washington reports a Senate House committee panel will hear forecast that the government will run a 5 billion dollar deficit in the year starting July 1. The estimate, labeled alarming by some, cites sagging business and lower tax receipts. Current receipts trail last year by about 1.5 billion, with income tax withholdings down 1.4 billion from 1948. Chairman Doughton and Chairman George oppose new taxes as calls for relief amid spending pressures grow.
