Budget May
Be Balanced
This Present
Fiscal Year
Humphrey Sees Time
Too Early To Pledge
Tax Cuts Although
They Are Now In
Sight.
BY Associated Press

Secretary of the Treasury Hum
phrey, using words he has cherished
ever since he took office 215 years
ago, now says the government
should and can" balance the bud
get this fiscal year.
Butshe added at a news confer
ence recently, that it is entirely
too early to pledge himself to
recommending tax cuts when Con-
gress returns in January.
The official summer budget re-
vision by the Treasury Department
stopped s1,700,000,0 short of Hum
phrey's optimism about the budget
outlook. The Treasury still pre-
dicted a deficit of that amount by
the end of fiscal year 1856, next
June 80.
That was 700 million dollars low
er than the figure President Eisen-
hover forecast in his budget mes
sage to Congress last January. The
cut was based on the following re-
vised estimates:
/. Spending will total $63,800,-
100000 this fiscal year-$1, 400, ,000,-
600 more than the January estimate,
but 700 millions less than spending
of $64,500, 100000 in fiscal 1855,
ended last June 80.
2. But the governments income
will be swelled enough by the rapid
economic expansion now in pro-
gress to more than overbalance the
rise in the spendings estimate. Re
ceipts for the current fiscal year
are now estimated at S62, 100000
000-$2, ,100,0 100000 above the esti-
mate made last January, and ST.
S00,000,000 higher than the fiscal
1855 tax yield of s60.300,0 100000.
8. The budget deficit is now esti-
mated at $1,700, 100000 for the fiscal
year, instead of the s2,400,000,0 900
forecast in January. The deficit for
fiscal 1855 was $4,000, 100000.
The new deficit would be the low
est in five years, and would be only
per cent of total spending.
Even so, there was every indica-
tion that the S1,700, 100000 red ink
forecast was little more than offic-
ial caution. The budget review text
said it was possible that "a bal
