BALANCEDBUDEET SBELIEVED NEAR Revenue Increases Point to Closing 7-Year Income and Expenditure Gap. BY the Associated Press. Substantial revenue increases during the first five months of this fiscal year today raised administration hopcs that the seven-year gap between in- come and outgo may be closed next year. Administration leaders have fore- cast that improving business will boost receipts to the level of ex- penditures if the present tax structure 1s maintained. There has been no definite state- ment, however, that the budget will be balanced next year. Surveying income from last July 1 through November 27, fiscal experts said today that continuance of the present uptrend, plus some reduction in relief expenditures, would balance receipts and spending next year. Receipts for this period totaled $1,- 623,043,000, an increase of $171,981,000 over a year ago. In the forefront of individual tax increases were income levies, which, at $418,598,000, gained $91,496,000. Questioned at his press conference late yesterday, Secretary Morgenthau said March tax receipts would be “very large” and “up to expectations.” This was taken to mean that revenues for this year will reach the $5,642,- 760,000 estimate, or $1,526,804,000 over last year. Besides pouring more cash into Federal coffers, fiscal experts pointed out that & dontinued business upswing will reduce the relief load. Thus far the Roosevelt administra- tion’s deficits have about matched the | sums expended for “recovery and re- lief.” Through November 27 this year's deficit stood at $1,230,000,000 and emer- gency expenditures at $1,146,000,000. Authoritative Treasury sources said that reductions in expenditures next year can be accomplished only by re- | stricting emergency activities. Slightly higher budget estimates are anticipated for “regular” Government activities, they explained, because na- tional defense, social security and other long-range programs already under way anticipate increased outlays in 1937-38.

Evacuation of civilians and non- eombatants continued, although diffi- culties of obtaining sufficient trans- portation limited the number leaving daily to between 2,000 and 3,000. The defense junta ordered all physicians and druggists to be pre- pared for military service. All medi- cal supplies were placed under the control of the junta’s Sanitary Com- mittee.

Responsible British sources, in re- laying the “German” reports, also said they had heard that a Soviet general, 1 100 Soviet officers and 20 tri-motored Russian planes were at Malaga to help the government forces. British nationals, despite govern- ment warnings, are fighting on both sides. Gen. Eoin O'Duffy with 40 volunteers from the Irish Free State | arrived at Burgos for service under the insurgents.
