Budget Balance Postponed
By Unexplained Decline in
Estimated Federal Revenue
(By The Associated Press)
WASHINGTON, Oct. 10. A big, unexplained drop In estimated reT-
enuea haa postponed until next year,
balanced federal budget.
President Roosevelt, In ft revised
budget statement, estimated at 9695,-
345.000 the net deficit for the fUoal
year ending next June 30. Inclusion
of debt retirement, ho said, create a
grona deficit i200.000.000 higher.
Despite the backslide since Janu
ary, a gross deficit of $995,245,000
would be lea than for any fiscal year
since 1930. Last year gross deficit
of 93.811.318,310 was the smallest
since 1931.
Net Deficit !..
The president carefully noted the
difference between net and gross def
icit In hla statement. He said the
estimated net deficit waa $2,013,000,
000 less than the net deficit for last
year.
He also rcemphaalzed hla announc
ed, deter ml nation to retrench. Ho said
further commitment would be
made by two agencies which In days
gone by have utilized bllllona the
Reconstruction Plnance corporation
and the Public Work administration.
The same attitude was voiced by
the president In ft speech last night
atartlng the annual community oheet
drives. Discussing the need for cur
tailed relief apendlng. he aald:
"Unless federal taxea are to be
greatly Increased, the expenditures
have to be brought within the ex
isting tax receipts.",
Tax Increases Talked.
Thta statement, together with the
budget figures, again raised discus

Members of congress gathering for
their special session next month, were
especially concerned with this phase.
They noted that the chief cai given
for the upward revision of the esti
mated deficit was a. drop in expected
revenues.
Last January, the president esti
mated this year' tax receipts at $7,
393.000.000. Yesterday he estimated
them at $0,060,000,000. ft drop of
$643,000,000.
He made no attempt to explain the
difference except to say It was "more
