the sale.
Yesterday, when the sale
started, there was strong COM

heated bidding. a total of $22,-
600 was received yesterday in
excess of delinquent taxes,
$19O more than was obtained
from the whole sale last year.
This morning, however. the
buyers were making no secrst
of that fact that there was a
eentleman's agreement not to

Occasionally, three or four

and offer to buy the same piece

Dillon Is Doubtful
Of Balancing 81
Federal Budget
Cites Revenue
Decline From
Corporations
BY LEE M. COIN
Star STAFF Writer

Douglas Dillon, the incoming
Treasury Secretary, indicated
today that the Kennedy ad-
ministration doubts it can
balance the Federal budget
next fiscal year.
Testifying before the Senate
Finance Committee, Mr.. Dillon
said he understood there is a
possibility" of a budget deficit
in fiscal 1862, the year start
ing next July !. He attributed
this prospect to decreasing
Government revenues, espe-
cially in the area of corpora
ton profits, because of the
recession.
1t is understood that Presi-
dent Eisenhower's version of
the budget for fiscal 1862,
which he will send to Congress
next Monday, will be balanced.
Gradual Approach Favored
Mr.. Dillon told the commit
tee. which was holding hear
ings on his appointment to
President-elect Kennedy's cab
met, that he favors balancing
the Federal budget and reduc-
ing the debt over a period Of
years coinciding with the busi-
ness cycle, but he added that
lit is not possible to be rigid
about this" He explained
that budget surpluses-larger
than those achieved in recent
years-should compensate for
inevitable deficits in slack
years.
Mr.. Dillon, a Republican, was
accorded a friendly hearing by
the Democratic-controlled COM
mittee. The hearing was the
first on President-elect Ken
nedy's proposed appointees. Mr..
Dillon, a former investment
banker, retired last week as
Undersecretary of State. He
has specialized in economic
aspects of foreign policy.
Mr.. Dillon avoided commit
ting himself on specific policies
under questioning by the com.
mittee.
But he did indicate that he
may favor removal of the AZ
per cent ceiling on interest
rates that the Treasury may
pay on long-term bonds. He
said the Kennedy administra-
tion has an open" position on
this issue, but added that I'VE
may very well request" removal
of the ceiling.

tion's requests for legislation

Some 800 pieces of property
were sold this morning by the
District government for nom
payment Of taxes at a public
auction full of the spirit of

So congenial were the Is
buyers assembled for the an

refrained from bidding against
each other.
Their polite restraint was all
the more striking since the sale
was held in the police lineup
room at the Municipal Center,
more often the scene of harsh
questions from police and bel
ligerent responses from arrested

Today, however, the room
