Soviet missile strength is approaching, and may exceed, that of the U.S. The U.S.S.R. will have 1,290 ICBMs to the U.S.'s 1,054 by the end of the year, though the U.S. will maintain a lead in submarine-launched missiles, 656 to 300.

Last year Commission Chairman Charles D. Henderson, a Republican state assemblyman, helped to draft a law compelling laggard college authorities to maintain order and denounced S.D.S. as "Students for Demolishing Society." Last week his prologue to the report sounded a far calmer note.
