includes, in addition to twelve
monthly tax calendars, explana-
tory material about various requir-

amount to $67.6 billion, and
budget expenditures to $70.9 bill
lion, with q probable deficit Of
1924 billion. Thus the June 80
deficit announced today was
$245 million less than the esti-
mate last January.
Moreover the 1854 deficit was
$6.371 billion less than the ac-
tual deficit of $9.4 billion on
June 80. 1853. Budget receipts
for the 1853 fiscal year were
$64.8 billion and budget expendi-
lures were STAB billion.
The fiscal statement today ex-
planned that these figures differ
slightly from previously pub
lished totals. The 1853 figures.
and the previous estimates for
1854 were revised to make them
comparable with other data by
placing expenditures on checks
issued basis and receipts on a
collection basis, in accordance
with change made in account
ing methods by the Treasury De-
partment last February.
Revenue Sources Listed.
Secretary Of the Treasury
Humphrey and Budget Director
Rowland r. Hughes issued an
accompanying statement today
itemizing budget receipts and
expenditures for the past fiscal
year. They noted that receipts
as of last June 80 were So billion
less than had been estimated
last January. They stated that
the principal sources of revenue
were:
Individual income taxes, $32,-
434. 0O0, 900.
Corporation income taxes, $21.-
483 ZOO, 900.
Excise taxes. $10.O48. 900 900.
All other taxes. 81 ,223, 000, 900.
Customs 1862 million.
Miscellaneous receipts, $2.175.-

Tax Returns Dip.
After deducting certain re-
funds of receipts, the net re-
ceipts of the Government totaled
$64, $50. 100000 for the fiscal
year.
The Treasury and Budget Bu-
reau officials explained that the
decrease in receipts from the
January estimate Of $67, 628,-
000, 900 resulted mainly from
lower than expected returns
from individual and corpartion
income taxes, and higher re-
funds.
T AS for budget expenditures.
the fiscal statement reported
that the total of SGT ,579, 000, 900
was $3,323. 900. 900 less than the
estimate of $70.902. 000, 900 of
last January.
Total spending for national
security programs, including the
Defense Department. the mutual
military aid program, atomic en-
ergy development and other de-
Tense programs amounted to

helped the West get better terms
from the Communists.
The original Communist de-
mand for Wet Namese elections
within six months was watered
down until the final agreement
provides for the elections to be
held within two years.
The West thinks this will give
it a better chance to win the
balloting if any really develops.
Right now, the Communists
might win an election.
The Geneva agreement states
that the elections will be SUPER
vised by Canada, India and Po-
land. This led to a curious dilem-
ma in American policy.
Although the United States
acquiesced in the settlement.
Undersecretary of State Walter
Bedell Smith said at Geneva
yesterday that America shall
continue to seek to achieve unity
through free elections super
vised by the United Nations to
insure that they are conducted
fairly"
State Department officials de-
clined to comment when asked
whether this meant the United
States would try to upset through
diplomatic means the agreed
upon three-nation supervisory
team.
It was known, however, that
the supervisory apparatus, as
arranged at Geneva. was one OF
the settlement provisions that
the United States found objec-
tionable.
Partial Veto Power.
During the negotiations the
United States had insisted that
if a Communist state were to
help supervise the settlement
the Reds must have no veto
power. The Geneva agreement
that the supervisors can act
with a majority vote except on
problems that might lead to a
resumption of hostilities. On
these more serious disputes deci-
sions must be made unanimous
ly-meaning that Red Poland
will have veto.
Some American officials wor-
ried about how the supervisors
would decide which problems in
VOWED a possible resumption Of
fostilities, and these were sub
ject to the veto. These officials
feared the Reds might be in
position to tag almost all prob
lens as involving possible hos
tilities, and then use their veto

long enough to make a with
drawal possible. The French
had abandoned all hope Of
American Intervention. at least
until after the November cleo
tons, by which time it would
have been too late. The sober
est prediction among high
French government circles was
that all of Wet Nam would be
lost to the Communists within
a very few months.
Red Bargaining Is Surprise.
Measured against this alter
native, the settlement reached
at Geneva scarcely adds up to
a surrender. To many observ-
ers here, the remarkable thing
is- that the Communists have
been willing to bargain at all
to give up even temporarily
what was so nearly within their
grasp. The most likely answer
is that the Communists didn't
realize that the French were so
close to military collapse and
greatly feared the danger that
the Indo-C Chinese war might de-
velop into a major conflict,
In any event, whatever the
reaction may be elsewhere,
Europe is deeply thankful for
the results of Geneva. The
people who engineered it
notably Mr.. Mendes-France-
are returning home with
enormously increased prestige.
For the moment, it is enough to
know that the threat of another
great war has passed and that
the wound which has bled
France for eight years has
| finally been bound up. AS for
the future it is still too early
for predictions. Already, how
ever, thoughts of world leaders
are turning back to Europe and
the next great chapter of the
East-West struggle that now
opens. Britain, Germany and
the United States are already
poised for a new push toward
Western unity, hopeful that now

Germany a common European
defense. Russia, on the other
hand, has launched a new cam

ment, riding a wave of good
feeling and relaxing tension

Red Tactics Uncertain.
In time, these things, too.
must be weighed in the balance
of the Geneva conference. And
finally there, is that great all
embracing question: Whether in
the long run any genuine COM
promise with communism is
possible, any terms honorable or
any peace lasting.
To these questions diplomats
at Geneva have no sure answers
