that a directive he issued ia

Red Advisers
Cuban Thorn,
Rusk Says
BY the Associated Press

Secretary of State Rusk says
the problem in Cuba is not SO
much the Russian military
units there, but the advisers
and technicians who remain.
He noted that President Ken
nedy has said some Soviet
troops have been Withdrawn
from Cuba.
Mr.. Rusk made the comment
in a televiSion interview (ABC-
Issues and Answers yesterday.
He did not provide any figures.
Asked why the United States
had not maintained its naval
quarantine of Cuba last year
until the Soviet Union removed
all Of its troops, Mr.. Rusk said:
"The missiles were a deadly
threat to our security and we
were on the brink Of 1uclear
war. The problem was how far
that highest tension could be
maintained.
THE measures taken were to
remove the direct threat first.
AS President Kennedy has said,

Senator Goldwater stuck to
his public position that he
won't make lip his mind until
January about seeking the

But Gov. Rockefeller set an
earlier timetable. He said in
the television interview he
would announce his decision
before the end Of this year -
perhaps in November.
On his charge that the Re-
publican Party was in real

New York's Gov. Nelson A

to look upon his remarriage as
seriously damaging his chances
for the 1864 Republican presi-
Dental nomination.

standing of the reactions of in

said last night in a televisior
interview (Meet the Press

feeling for peoples concern
he said. II think it is a sit
uation which in political life
Is difficult. :"
And he expanded his views
further today in an interview
in U. S. News & World Report,
Commenting on his divorce and
remarriage, he said:
IT think that the reaction
on that subject is a highly per-
sonal one with all people. Until
such time as there is an occa-
sion when they have to make
a decision, it's hard to tell ex-
actly what that reaction will be
But when an individual has
to make a decision, whether
it's in a convention or in the
voting booth, then I think that
he will bring that factor, along
with all Of the other factors,
into balance and make a deci-

all the peoples decisions would,
