Pa., Dec. 6 (/P) —A near-final decision to set the new defense budget at about $34.5 billion was re ported reached today by Pres ident Dwight D. Eisenhower and his military and budget experts. That is roughly the rate of de fense spendingfor this fiscal year. Secretary of Defense Charles E. Wilson said he expects “no major change” in the total of the new budget for the new fiscal year beginning next July 1. Dim Prospects Foreseen Since defense takes about two out of every three dollars the government spends, there ap peared to be dim prospects that the administration would be able to recommend any sizeable tax FOR A BETTER PENN ST Ship's Bell j To Be Erected In HUB Court The bell from the battleship USS Pennsylvania, given to the University by the Navy Depart ment, will be erected as soon “as the weather is favorable, prob ably in the spring,” Walter H. Wiegand, director of the physical plant, said yesterday. Erection of the bell has been held up because the, steel sup ports on which th 6 bell is to be hoisted are now in the process of fabrication.

The lawmakers, of course, could take it on them selves to put through a substan tial reduction in an election year. It’s been done before. Eisenhower went over the de fense budget for an hour and a half at a conference in his head quarters in the Gettysburg Post Office. Crowded into the small room with him were: Wilson; Adm. Arthur Radford, Staff; Budget Director Rowland Hughes; Deputy Director Percival F. Brundage; W. J. McNeil, Penta gon budget officer; and Col. An drew Goodpaster, secretary of the White House staff.

The constitutionality of the dress rule will be decided tomorrow evening when the Supreme Court meets for the first time. The Court, formed last spring, consists of senior members of Tribunal and Women’s Judicial. Should the Supreme Court de clare the rule unconstitutional, individual rulings in the future on the dress rule for West Hall, Nittany, and Pollock areas will be made by their respective coun cils. West Halls Council last night voted to table any action on the dress rule until the Court has reached a decision. Nittany Coun cil reached a similar decision Monday. The rule now states that men of the three areas will wear coats and ties to the noon meal on Sun day. When passed two years ago the ruling was intended to im prove the sociability of the inde pendent dining halls. One dormitory, Pollock 14, vot ed to retain the rule as it now stands while at least two Pollock dormitories (not identified) voted to do away with the rule in its entirety, according to John Den nis, Council vice president. The Pollock area voted followed a statement made last week by Bruce Lieske, AIM president, that he will ask each council president to hold an election to determine student opinion on the dress rule should the court declare it un constitutional. Dennis said Pollock area stu dents had. given the following rea sons for opposing the rule: 1. When it is raining students must wailk from the dorms to the dining hall in the rain. This re sults in soiled and spotted cloth ing. 2. The dining hall is not a suit able environment in which to wear dress clothing. If the Uni versity would provide better eat ing facilities the students would feel like dressing occasionally for meals. 3. Some students are veterans and feel the University should not tell them what to wear while eating. New Parking Restriction Police Chief John R. Juba has warned car owners that no park ing will be allowed on the 500 block of S. Frazier street. Police consider the hill dangerous for parking. Within the past week a car drifted away and crashed, causing considerable damage. stands on what he said at Denver a month and a half ago—that there would be no major change in the military budget for the next fiscal year. At that time, while the Presi dent was hospitalized in Denver from a Sept. 24th heart attack, Wilson said he would regard a change of five per cent as im portant but a lesser shift as “not very important.” Defense Spending Level He said ,too, that the defense spending level for the upcoming fiscal year might be up a bit be cause of such factors as higher steel prices. A rise of even three per cent would boost the cost of defense by more than a billion and prob ably would be enough to make the administration stop and think before proposing any tax reduc tion.
