Stahr says U.S. leapfrogging' on weapons WASHINGTON (UPI) The United States is "leapfrogging" the Soviet Union in the quality of its tanks, artillery and rifles, according to Army Secretary El vis J. Stahr Jr. "And my best Information Is that our tactical nuclear weapons are better than Russia s, he said, in an exclusive interview with United Press International. He also had high praise for the potential of the Army's controver sial Nike-Zeus anti-missile mis sile as a weapon for effective de fense against Soviet interconti- - cental ballistic missiles. ' In a wide-ranging discussion of military progress under the Ken nedy administration, the 48-year- old World War II veteran said the Army was "way behind 15 months ago in modernization and quantities of materiel, but we have reversed the trend, and Started up the right road." Leaves On Trip After the Interview Thursday, Stahr left on a 15-day trip to the Far East ' Stating that America has a "dis tinct advantage" over Russia in overall military power, Stahr ex pressed these points of view on two admittedly controversial ques tions: He believed the West might be able to hold Europe against a Russian conventional attack with out itself resorting to nuclear weapons. He said the West cer tainly has the "greater potential." He thought It possible that there could be localized, limited use of small atomic weapons in Europe and that this would not necessarily result "in escalation to general thermonuclear war." The large conventional and tacti cal nuclear forces Russia main tains indicate that the Soviets might think the same way. Nuclear Policy Constant In general, Die North Atlantic alliance's policy since 1954 has been to use nuclear weapons to the extent necessary 'if there should be an attack on Western Europe. Discussing the Nike-Zeus, which neither the Eisenhower nor Ken nedy administration has been will ing to put into production, Stahr said it has the potential to Rive America an effective defense against Russian missiles that now exist or are likely to be produced, ' 1- iv" n GETTItNG MARRIED?

Grant Bulletin Staff Writer It was a day full of memories. "Do you know what happened to me 21 years ago?" I asked the office receptionist. "No. What?" she said and ask ed, falling into the trap. "I had a baby," I said, in my best Sarah Bernhart manner, let ting my voice drop to dulcet "how now, brown cow" tones. "How exciting," said the O.R. You feeling all right?" I was feeling, all right. Just hoping someone would think it was MY twenty-first birthday. No luck. I have nerer been asked for my ID in my life. Of course, way back t!irc the country was dry, and the only thing to look forward to on reaching the 21 mark was to be able to vote. Now the young people are anx ious to get a voter's card, so they'll have another form of iden tification when they beard the bars. So, the bearded bard, to corn a phrase (he's the Young Man) called for me after work, and we set out to celebrate Uie occasion. "You know," said the B.B. (al so known as the Y.M.) "now I haven't anything lo look forward to except being 65." "How come?" I sez. "Then I can retire on my social security." After a short cruise around town, we went home to have din ner, and later the Y.M. went out with younger, gayer companions. And when the house was emp ty, and the walls started to creak. I picked up The Bulletin and read the story about all the prowlers around town. I peered out into the darkness, and nobody peered back. It's enough to make a gal turn in her eye-shadow. (Or else wash the windows.) From Hollywood comes news that Ted Mikels' movie, "Cross hair," will be shown at a sneak preview at the Burbank theater next week. It should be in Bend by the end of the month, Ted savs. This isn't really the work of art Ilia. Ted had hoped for, as his debut into movie making, he con fessed some time ago to tins writ er.

Ted wrote the story, and di rected and produced the movie. He has been down in Hollywood the past few months, editing, dub bing in musical background and doing all the other technical chores that most producers have to relegate to someone else. The picture was made in Bend last September. Ted brought a number of Hollywood hopefuls to Central Oregon for the shooting, and Gen, Ted's wife, cooked for them, bandaged their bruises when they got too much realism into a chase over the rocks, and listened to their troubles. Anyone who knows the Mikels can picture the one-big-happy-family atmos phere. Locales for the shooting includ ed the Elk Lake pack station, the Paulina Creek area, the lava beds, the Century Drive country and a number of un-named caves east of town. The picture stars Gary Clarke and Jeannine Riley, with Steve Quinn in a major supporting role. People who read fan magazines recognize these names. Local people who have bit parts are Frank Smith, Gordon Mousor and Phyllis Maitland. I can tell you one tiling. I may not see "West Side Story," or "Cleopatra." But I'll see "Cross hair." I like Ted Mikels, and I wish liim well. Let's all go to the movies, shall we? PERMISSION ASKED WASHINGTON (UPI) The Southern Pacific Co.
