NEW YORK.-Why do 80
million Americans continue
to smoke despite dire warn
ings issued almost daily that
they are putting their way to
lung cancer, heart disease
and other fatal maladies?
The answer seems to be
habit-but a psychological
rather than a physical addic-
ton.
THE tobacco habit cannot
be compared with the use of
such drugs as morphine, CO.
caine or alcohol, for 1t is not
taken for the purpose Of pro-
ducing stimulation or depres-

ironic that the department
which Is so often accused OF
softness and fuzziness should
be In hot water for taking a
sharp, tough tone. and that the
Secretary, who is the soul Of
caution and self-effacement.
should be taking the rap for
what has been generally con-
sidered q rash and irnpulsive
action.
He took full blame for the
message, refused TO divulge its
authorship and convinced q
Senate Foreign Relations Sub
committee that no offense was
meant to our neighbor to the
north.
Agent Of President
He is not likely TO take the
advice that has been offered
him in the wake Of the Incl
dent TO become more assertive
and involved in national con-
troversy or to import bolder
minds. He regards himself
solely as the agent Of the
President. He believes in the
cult Of impersonality and he
deals with the top level of his
advisers. In personnel he pre-
fers what one observer calls
"the nice. safe types"
While Presidents have beer
known to make their dissatis-
faction with a cabinet officer
known to the press rather thar
to the man himself, this doe'
not seem to be the case here
Mr.. Rusk is safe In his job.
The President chose him fol

Mcnamara challenged was Q
related one. that There has
been no Soviet move to dis
mantle these sites or withdraw
the launching equipment"
The Defense Secretary said
in his letter to Senator Keat-
ing that the photographs he
was inclosing disclose each
site at approximately the peak
Of its development and
during the dismantling phases"
and record the current status
Of the sites. :"
The pictures Of recent recon-
naissance flights were taken
In the latter part Of January,
Pentagon officials said. Re-
ferring to these pictures. Mr..
Mcnamara said:
You'll note that all Of the
concrete launching pads :.
have been broken up, all Of
the launch rings and stands
have been removed, and all Of
the conduits have been de.
stroyed or removed.
Ships Traced
Further, that all equip
ment associated with the mis-
siles has been removed (and,
as was demonstrated yesterday,
loaded on ships which have
been traced back into Soviet
waters) and there is no eH.
dence whatsoever that the So-
viets are maintaining these
sites"
Senator Heating asked four
questions. but Mr.. Mcnamara
answered only one dealing
with the status Of the missile
sites. The Pentaeon chief
promised early replies to the
other three questions.
The other questions involved
the extent Of sabotage and sub
version in Latin America, esti-
mates of Russian troop strength
in Cuba and whether arms were
carried in q Soviet ship which
President Kennedy told, q news
conference recently had
reached Cuba.

The President may wish that
Mr.. Rusk dominated State the
way Robert Mcnamara be-
strides the Defense Depart
ment. But he Is said 10 feel
II is a hopeless task. He might
wish that the Secretary's press
conferences added new infor-
nation on foreign policy rather
than slavishly echoing his own
views, but Mr.. Rusk has always
taken the position that his job
Is TO drain the emotion out Of
international tensions task
he does almost too well.
Skilled NegOtlatOr
The President approves Mr..
Rusk's relations with Congress,
which are very harmonious.
He does not ALLEVIATE with the
sharp wit Of an Acheson. or
outrage with the high moral
tone Of a Dulles.
He respects the Secretary's
skill as a negotiator. which
was displayed in his rallying Of
the Organization OF American
States and at Punta del Este.
The Secretary's methods are
not the Presidents. Mr.. Rusk
moves through channels while
the President is always reach
ing out for direct contact far
down the line.
II the President finds the
Secretary deliberate in coun-
sci. he has many others to turn
to on special problems.
McGeorge Bundy is In the
White House ready with opin-
ions on the whole range Of
foreign policy. He has brought
in Christian Herter on tariff
negotiations, Averell Hartman
on the Far East, Dean Acheson
on Berlin.
So Mr.. Rusk who has the
most difficult job in the cabi-
net, is likely TO remain In 10,
despite Canada and columnists.

Several columniSts and a SEN
ate subcommittee have been
telling the Secretary Of State
he should do better.
One Of the three columnists,
all Of whom are friendly to the
administration, said Mr.. Rusk
was running n non-depart-
ment." Another said he should
stick his neck out more, and q
third said his department
needed new blood.
The Jackson subcommittee
on Government Operation pub
lished q report last week which
said that the Secretary Of State
must be willing TO assert his
own position and exercise his
proper influence across the
whole front Of national security
matters as they relate to for
eign policy"
The President at his press
conference yesterday. however.
indicated that his view Of the
Secretary's role coincided with
that Of Mr.. Rusk, that they
were "in close communion on
this matter" He expressed the
highest confidence" In the
Secretary and indicated that
he was doing well In q fearfully
complicated task.
Timing Trouble
The criticism OF Mr.. Rusk
was occasioned by the Cana
dian affair. The President,
whose views on Prime Minister
Diefenbaker's defense policies
were faithfully reflected in the
summary press release dis
patched by the State Depart
ment to Ottawa. was angry
at its timing and disturbed
about the political conse-
quences, which have already
occurred.

the polar bear rug. He gestured and seated
myself on an antique milking stool while he

"Of course" he continued, there is some

that the fish aquarium is constructed before
