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

down to $90,000,000,000.

he said, "expenditures . . . may

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.

During the two-weeks period
of high" temperatures and thun
