Although this billboard has been taken down, the struggle for decency de-cency never ends. Mrs. Brimhall's latest target is "R" and "X" rated movies. She advocates licensing li-censing certain "adult" theaters to show these movies that might influence young adult minds. Recent movies rated "R" and "X" include such filth as Midnight Mid-night Cowboy, Easy Rider, Goodbye, Good-bye, Columbus, MASH and The Graduate. Recent "G" and "GP" movies include such relevant hits as The Boatniks, The Computer Wore Tennis Shoes, The Love Bug, Chitty Chitty Bang Bang and Chisum. It is understandable and admirable that Mrs. Brimhall wants to protect young adults from immorality and perverted sex, but if she gets her way, who will protect pro-tect us from movie violence on one hand and cinematic-induced mind rot on the other? Preventive Detention In the first narcotics raid under the "no-knock" provisions of the District of Columbia crime act, Washington police raided a n apartment in the exclusive Watergate Water-gate complex. The apartment was rented to a Mr. and Mrs. John Mitchell. Mr. Mitchell is reportedly a government govern-ment official. Narcotics agents confiscated several marijuana cigarettes and paraphernalia including an antique an-tique Chinese pipe dating from the Ming dynasty.

Mr. Eisenhower is listed as an official with the Washington Senators Sena-tors baseball team. BY KURT NUTTING Clironicle Staff Golly, the news just seems to get better every day. The latest bit of cheer is the revelation that in five years the United States will possess 10,618 strategic nuclear nu-clear warheads, in comparison with only a fraction of that today, 4,918. The scientific breakthrough causing the smiles around the Pentagon is MIRV (Multiple In-depently-targeted Re-entry Vehicles). Ve-hicles). These clever little devices enable one Poseidon missile on a submarine to annihilate up to ten medium-sized Russian cities simultaneously. sim-ultaneously. The MIRV on o u r Minuteman II can obliterate three large-size Soviet cities at once. Best of all, this new triumph boosts our lead in nuclear warheads war-heads over the USSR from a mere 2.3:1 to a gap of almost 2.5:1, since the Russians plan to increase in-crease their warhead total from 2,120 today to 4,170 in 1975. Our absolute lead will increase from 2,798 to 6,448 in five years. This hard-won progress, however, how-ever, may come to an end if the Strategic Arms Limitation Talks (SALT) manage to produce an end to the nuclear arms race. This would mean the end, as well, of that magnificent two-and-a-half-to-one lead over the Russians. True Americans can only hope that these so-called arms limitation limita-tion talks, designed in reality to force unilateral United States disarmament, dis-armament, do not achieve their diabolical, Kremlin-designed conclusion. con-clusion.
