WASHINGTON, Oct. 3 (U. P) — The Federal Government closed its books for the first quarter of the 1939 fiscal year today with a gress deficit of $700.983.352.72, the Treasury disclosed today. | The ficure for the first quarter indicated the strong possibility that a new Roosevelt deficit record may be established when the accounts for the 1939 fiscal year finally are closed next June 30. Income during the first three months amounted to $1509 1827032, compared with $1,650.690,763 !ast vear. Expenditures rose from $1.937.764.437 during the first three months of last vear to $2,210,165.385 for the current quarter.
