The original budget figures xon sent to Congress on Feb. showed outlays at $197-9 bil- and revenues totaling $199.4 lion, for a projected surplus billion. The estimate of corporation ofits soon proved to be far out line.

On Slay 19, Treasury Budget Bureau officials is- cd revised figures.

They were J35.2S billion in fiscal 1970, com- larcd wilh $38 billion in the pre- year. The declining trend of corporation taxes was shown even more clearly in the first week he new fiscal year. As ot July he Treasury had taken in $171,9 million, compared with $397.8 million on the corresponding Jate a year ago.

Individual income tax collec- ions were relatively strong. Bu he shortfall in corporation earnings is expected to contrib- ule to a worsening deficit in fiscal 1971 as well. Nixon's February. budget message showed a $1.3 billion surplus, for fiscal 1971. That turned nlo a $1.3 billion deficit in the May revision, and some unoffi cial guesses are far higher.

Some officials now concede lhal the fiscal 1971 deficit wil be $3 lo 5 billion. The staff the Joint Committee on Interna Ucvenue Taxation has estimated lhat the deficit may be $4.5 billion if Congress enacts all of Nixon's revenue-raising proposals and $9 billion if it enacts none of them. The Council of State Chambers of Commerce issued an even more pessimistic forecast based on an assumption that the business sag will further depress revenues, The delici could go as high as $12 billion, the council said.

The metallic water pollutant --source the 19th century "Mad Halter's" disease-- has forced fishing bans of varying egree in some waters of mos of the affected stales. Alabama Gov. Albert Brewer alarmed about the economic consequences of a mercury- caused ban on commercial fish- ng in some 51,000 acres pi state waterways. He says he will re- disaster aid. The 'major source of water lorne mercury, federal officials say, is discharge from Indus tries using the metal in the manufacture of paper, chlorine sodium, and plastics.

There have been no reportet cases of mercury poisoning in lis country from contaminate! ish and shellfish. But 43 per sons died in Japan a few year ago from fish contaminated the discharge of large plastic company. Federal health officials sus pect that cases exist but hav reaped correct diagnosis, am hat olhers may crop up soo regardless of new control meas ures. The reason: mercury has ife of at least 100 years; wale cannot be sanitized of exislin millions of pounds; and the el al collect In and resists remova from vital human tissues, espe dally brain and nerve cells. Mercury causes progressiv damage, blindness, kidne disease, and even death whe absorbed In large quantities.

The insanity that afflicted some 19th century hat maker using mercury to shrink felt bers Inspired Lewis Carroll' portrait of the Mad Hatter i "Alice'u Adventures in Wonder and." Mercury Is also used as Ain iiclde dn seed for grain crop From the seed it has found I ivsy into hogj In New Mexta in Oregon, and pheisan in Montana and California.

'Tactics' artists Meet olph Institute said the Nixon Iminislralion's "tactics of arcity" and Southern strategj ave blinded the American pec- to the real and dangeroui iconomic and social crises fae them. "The poor no longer are pre- lared to remain poor," Rustii id, "and blacks are no longer repared to remain second-clasr tizens." Ruslin charged the GOP ad inislration wilh diverting pub ic and Congressional sttentioi om the struggling economj ith the recent U.S.

push inti ambodia. "The Cambodian venture wai ot mililary," he said. Instead, ie maintained, it was another it series of administration at. empts to sidetrack opposition Nixon programs. Rustin said the administration as adopted a seemingly-liberal tance toward inflation, black iiualization and welfare, whili the came time institufinf tactics of involving tight money, and drastic cutbacks in federal aid programs.

The "Philadelphia Plan," a lixon move to infuse mort jlacks into building tradi unions, was died as an example. Ruslin saitf Nixon has p- iroved the plan to appease beral element, while simultaneously cutting back federal construction spending by 75 per cent. Hustin said the GOP with a Vice President Spiro Agnew in he vanguard, is implementing ts Southern strategy "to destroy that 1 coalition of liberals aimed at restoring freedom in this nation." Ru'tin said that Nixon has re- ilaced high-ranking, influential iberals with "rich people from he North, stupid people from he West and Southerners" in lis effort to "out-Wallace Wai- ace," a reference lo Alabama Gov. George C. Wallace.

Hustin said the present eco- lomic and social policies have ostered "white fear," which in urn creates "black rage." He said the use of force to sl- ence protest, and the use of intellectual argument with Walla- cites are equally ineffective in developing the reason necessary to solve the nation's problemi.
