The Chicago Herald reports that the treasury's working balance rose on March 16 but fell by over $1,000,000 for St Patrick's Day and slid another $500,000 the next day. If the decline slows, free cash may last until July when income tax payments arrive. Yet actual appropriations exceed next year's estimate by about $60,000,000 and with contingent items could raise deficiencies above $9,000,000. Congress must first readjust federal finances.
