Opinion

Appeal from App. Dept., Super. Ct. Cal., County of Orange, dismissed for want of substantial federal question. Mr. Justice Douglas, being of the view that any state ban on obscenity is prohibited by the First Amendment, made applicable to the States by the Fourteenth (see Paris Adult Theatre I v. Slaton, 413 U. S. 49, 70 (1973) (Douglas, J., dissenting)), would note jurisdiction and reverse the judgment.
