Surplus OF Receipts Over
Expenditures OF ST.
$4,000, 900 Seen

WASHINGTON, April 10. - (H
- President Truman declared to-
night that a sharp increase in
prices has INFLATED the entire
economy" and took a new stand
against any income tag cuts new.
He issued a statement predicting
a surplus of government receipts
over expenditures of 81, $50, 600. 900
for the present fiscal year which
ends June 30. Mr.. Truman has an
nounced in a Jefferson Day speech
April 5 that a surplus was in
sight, but did not disclose the
amount until tonight.
The President attributed the re-
vision in estimates since his
budget message went to Congress
in January to administration
economies as well as to a sharp
increase in prices "since the re
moval Of controls"
He declares that now, when a
blanced budget is being achieved.
he wants to emphasize the need for
reducing the public debt while
times are good"
"It is natural for taxpayers to
wish to see taxes reduced" the
Presidents statement continued.
"But to do this now would promote
initiation. 50 that the benefits Of
any reduction would be largely
dissipated."
Mr.. Truman promised on April
10 that he would o on have the
| statement he issued tonight.
On April 9 John w. Hanes. for
mer undersecretary of the Trea-
sury, said the government would
have a SO, 900, 900, 900 or $4,000, 0Oo,-
c. surplus on the current fiscal
year.
Hanes, now a New York busl-
ness man, offered his estimate in
saying that debt reduction and tax
reduction both become feasible
and practicable" .
The next day Mr.. Truman told
a news conference that whatever
Hanes' source was, it was not a
reliable one.
The Presidents statement came
amid renewed activity over the
income tax reduction pending in
Congress:
l.. Senator Lucus Gid, demo-
cratic whip, put forward a bill to
cut income taxes next Jan. l,

publicans propose. 1t would &C

Jefferson Day dinner here tonight,
North Carolina democratic leaders
applauded a prediction by U. S.
Senator Clyde R. Hoey that Presi-
dent Harry S. Truman will be re-
elected in 1913.
Hoey's prophesy was echoed by
Josephus Daniels, World War I Sec
rotary of the Navy and former
ambassador to Mexico, who said
that the republican defeat in the
recent Chicago election was a ''pre-
cursor of the fate in store for them
in 1948."
Many of the states delegation in
congress and other democratic par
ty notables gathered here for the
banquet honoring Jefferson. The

party"
The dinner managed by Wilkins
P. Horton of Pittsboro, Democratic
National committeeman, was plan

campaign drives against the Re-
publicans next year. The goal was
$2O,0 900 with approximately 500
diners paying an average Of $40
each for the banquet of turkey and
trimmings. Horizons office an
nounced that the goal had been
reached and exceeded by a small
margin.
Senator Hoey said: IF faced with
greater domestic and international
problems than any previous vice
president in all of our national
history, Harry Truman is measur-
ing up to the full stature of great
ness and I predict that the people
of America will give him an over
whelming vote. of confidence when
they reflect him president in 1948."
"Some people who did not know
