 S5OO,OOO,OOO MARK
Reports Still Being Received
 for Dec. 15 Collection

Washington, Dec. g rP)- Receipts from income taxpayers neared the half billion mark today as the treasury began receiving final reports from collectors Of internal revenue on the payments which were due December 15.
 Officials estimated Decembor's collections would total $485,0Uo.O0o, as compared with $516.000,O O0o rc- ceived from income taxpayers ill December a year ago.
 S2.320,15iOO0 for Year

 For the first time in many a day, the December l9 treasury daily statement showed surplus in gov ernment finances, with receipts OK ceeding expenditures by $4771g,552 for the fiscal year.
 This surplus was more apparent than real, however as the treasury is far behind this year with it's debt retirement program. The treasury has so far spent only $65.GG0,000 for the sinking fund this year. compar- cd with $1,52479G,7O5 spent to this date q year ago.
 The internal revenue bureau is sued today a summary Of receipts in the first five months Of this fiscal year which began July last. It showed a decrease of $S1.oOo000 due chiefly to @ decline in payments by individuals.

 With receipts off $51.00o. 00O to November 30, and the government $204,000,000 behind in it's debt re- tirement program, expenditures are more than year ago by $l02,000,- 900. Adding this items, gives a total of $3S7,0o0,o0O which is the amount the treasury is behind now com pared with it's position a year ago.
