any previous estimate and more than
twice as large as was calculated when

below the receipts for the last fiscal
year, which totaled 83,975,912,000.
Total receipts to June 16 of thia year
were roughly 83,750,000,000. Since re­
ceipts from Income taxes thus far
are only about 130,000,000 below those
