 Asked what he plans to do about that House call for advice, Eisenhower said anew he would have no objection to re-examin- ing the budget, and added he will be just as helpful as h can in trying to find ways to cut spend ing.

JUVENILE CODE

A new juvenile code for Alas ka passed the Senate on a 14-2 vote.
 The new code broadens and spells out procedures for handling juvenile delinquents and young sters who become wards of the territory.
 It puts most juvenile cases in the hands of justice courts and is designed to eliminate conflicts between the handling of cases be- tween local magistrates and U. s. commissioners. The bill now goes to the House.
 Along the same lines, the Sen ate passed, 13-3, a resolution to transfer $15,OOO from general sup port of juvenile homes for the current biennium. The money will go to make up a deficit in the construction of a juvenile home at Ketchikan - at an estimated cost of $76,692.

PIN BALL MACHINES

JUNEAU, R - The judiciary committee of the Territorial House has reported out two bills regulating pinba1l machines.
 One of them defines various types of coin-operated devices, and would set new tax levies, ranging from $10 a year on music machines up to $200 a year on slot machines.
 The other is bill to limit the number of pin ball machines to four in any one establishment. It also would make it illeegal for anyone under 21 to operate any coin device other than a vending machine or a music machine.
 Opponents of these restrictions charge they are aimed at so-called arcades - business establishments with dozens of varieties of coin operated devices.
 The bill setting the taxes on the pin ball machines was put on the House calendar. But the so-called anti-arcade measure was sent back to the judiciary committee, pend ing formal report on it by the full committee.

Eisenhower Rejects Soviet Bid for Five Power Talks on Disarmament, Will Work Through United Nations

WASHINGTON, RLPresident Eisenhower has told the Russians the United States will make 'fur- ther proposals" on disarmament at the United Nations. But he has rejected, for the present at least, Soviet proposal for five-power talks on the problem.
 The White House Wednesday night made public Eisenhower's reply to Nov. IT message from Soviet Premier Nikolai Bulganin. In that message, Bulganin had suggested leaders of the United States, Russia, Britain, France and India sit down together to seek ways to bring about disarm- ament.
 In his reply, Eisenhower vel comed Bulganin's apparent will ingness" to consider even a linn tied form of the aerial inspection which this country has been urg- ing since Eisenhower first pro- posed it at the 1855 Geneva sum- init conference. Previously, the Russians had opposed any such plan.
 This was a reference to Rus sian statement, issued along with the Nov. IT Bulganin letter, in which the Soviet leader preached the idea of creating an aerial in spection buffer zone extending 500 miles on either side of the iron curtain.
 However, Eisenhower said that much to my regret the Russian statement 'does not signify will ingneSs to seek agreement on the basic element of my Geneva pro- posal of averting surprise inspec- tion of the centers of our military power"
 But Eisenhower shot back at

WASHINGTON, Sen. Me Clellan D-ArD today ordered his Senate Investigations Subcommit- tee staff to make preliminary inquiry" into big Army contract awarded to a firm headed by the wife of Asst. Secretary of Defense Robert Tripp Ross.
 Tt may be perfectly legitimate" ," Mcclellan told reporter.

 Mrs. Claire Wynn Ross con- firmed the award of the contract yesterday, but said in New York her bid was $75,000 lower than the next lowest bid offered.
 My husband has no more to do with it than you do" she told a questioner. T saved the gov ernment $75,O00 on this bid. l don't know whether I'll make d nickel or lose lot of money
 The Defense Department said the contract was awarded Nov. 13, 1856, for 249,0OO pairs of light weight cotton wind-resistant trou- sers. It went to Wynn Enterprises, Inc, of Knoxville, Tenn, and New York. Mrs. Ross said she has been president of Wynn Enter prises since her brother retired last October, and had served as treasurer since the firm was founded in 1944.
 She said the company has had many government contracts, eacn If them won on low competitive bid.
