The IMS re quest is being worked out how; sev eral months before it will-reach Con greaa. And though the requestedsum will be down, actual spending next year will probably be up—since ex penditures do not keep pace with authorizations. If Congress economizes on other items, next year, it may be able to balance the budget. But tax reduc tions may not bo enjoyed until the following year. Minor reductions and some special taxes might be re duced, but income tax relief will pro bably not arrive next year. One esti mate forvthia year is a 10 billion dol lar deficit, and expenditures tunning around 00 billions.
