$34.5 Billion Planned for Defense
GETTYSBURG. 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

Ship's Bell j
To Be Erected
In HUB Court

USS Pennsylvania, given to the
University by the Navy Depart
ment, will be erected as soon “as
the weather is favorable, prob

Dormitory Vote Shows
Pollock Area Favors
Dress Rule Revision
An unofficial vote on the constitutionality of the Sunday
dress rule taken last week by Pollock Dorfhitory presidents
and reported last night before Pollock Council indicated a
majority of Pollock area students favor some revision in the
present ruling.
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.
