Greatest Deficit In
History Recorded;
Spending to Decline

WASHINGTON, July 2
(UP) - The government
turrrd a sharp corner in its
World War II ro1d Monday
with the beginning CT a new fiscal
year
Behind lay the peaks Of war
spending and war production.
Ahead lay a still misty path
leading through a half-war. half
peace economy era CT full peace
somewhere in the distance. It
would be a downhill road from now
en- as far as huge wartime expen-
ditures were concerned. 1t would
be marked by governmental reor-
ganizatiCn, plans for which were
already under way.
NEW FACES, CONTROLS
And there would be new faces at
the contrOls-a new President, at
least half of a new cabinet and
many other lesser new faces in
various government posts.
1t was a road on which. in the
words Of War Mobilizer Fred NJ.
VinsCn. the nation would be con-
centrating first on meeting all re-
quirementS of the Pacific war:
second. on planning for double
peace for the world and 'unpre-
cedented prosperity" for America.
Vinson declared that reconvers
sion plans were being rushed to
take into account either an early
or a delayed victory over Japan.
But. whichever il was 10 be, it
woult. cc5U the PEI pie less aid lecs.
And it would be conducted by men
Americans for the most part still
were to become familiar with.
GREATEST DEFICIT
The year ended Saturday mid
night saw the highest federal
spending and income in history
and tie biggest deficit in history.
The treasury. however, began the
new year with its biggest cash bal
ance, yet-S23 00,00o,00C - most of
it poured in by recent war loans.
The government, which spent
100000, ,OOO,OO0 last year. planned
to lay out only ss3 ,00O,000000 this
year for prosecution of the war
again?t Japan and partial recon-
version to a civilian economy. An
