f $3 BILLION COT DUE'TJS YEAR Expected Developments in Europe May Permit Big Reduction, Says Chief Washington, Aug. 3 (U.R) The budget bureau today fore cast a reduction of at least $3,000,000,000 in currently in dicated war spending during the ff present fiscal year, on basis of its "hope" that Germany will be knocked out of the war before next summer. Budget Director Harold D. Smith said war spending now actually was running at an an nual rate of $93,000,000,000, but that expected developments in Europe would permit a de cline in the latter part of the DO YOU LIKE BLACK BERRY JELLY? 9 This Delicious Recipe Selves Sugar and Berries 314 Cups Juice 4J Cups Sugar Cup Lemon Juice 1 Package M.CP.

If German resistance should collapse earlier than assumed," he said, "expenditures . . . may be somewhat below the $90,000, 000,000 estimate." War Takes Most In a revision of the 1945 bud get estimate submitted to con gress by President Roosevelt last January, Smith estimated total government expenditures. including those of corporations at $99,029,000,000 as compared to the January forecast of $99, 769,000,000. He estimated that war spending would require al most $90,000,000,000 of the total, the same amount forecast by the president. "This year's estimates," he said, "are influenced by the hope that the liberation of Europe may be accomplished before the end of the fiscal year 1945, while the Japanese phase of the war is assumed ' to continue all through that fiscal year and be yond." The budget director said gov ernment receipts were expected to reach a new high of $45,663,- 000,800, almost $5,000,000,000 more than forecast by Mr. Roose velt. This, together with other improvements in the financial picture, will mean that neither the deficit nor the public debt will assume the proportions es timated by the president in Jan uary, he said.
