The Air Force stopped free distribution of cigarets to patients in its hospitals and clinics because of' "overwhelming evidence"' linking smoking and various diseases. -~ And the,Air Force has, in effect', put the ^u brden of proof in, the issue on the cigaret , makers, saying it' will "gladly reconsider"' its stand if further research doesnit substantiate recent indications' that eigaretcs- are-a "causa- tive tactor"' in various diseases. -., There was no immediate comment from the tobaicco Sndustry. . The Air Force move was spelled out' in two letters. One, to agents of almost all major tobacco concerns, said no more gift cigarets could be acceptedl The other, to all Air Force command headquarters, stopped distri- 'bution of free cigarets in hospitals and clinics ;,and ordered • cigarets eliminated from pack• aged lunches' given' personneli making, long flights. The a:ntismoking order was initiatedi by the :Afr Force surgeon generalls office. So far, no ;similar action has been taken by the Army or -.-t'he-N1avy, - An Army spokesman said he didla°t ; know of a:ny, plans to halt distribution of free cigareta in Army hospitals. The Publlc Health Service, Whose position is ithat a link has been established between ciga- rets and lung cancer, plans g lengthy studjr to :assess the evidence and subsequently to decide'' .what, if anything, the Government should do about it. The results of the "assessment'' phase may be reported next' year. t, The first letter, dated Aug. 1. was senG to agent:a of tobacco companies and other donors of free cigarets tb Air Force hospitals. It read: "We regret that we wil0l not be able to -'accepG your gift offering of cigarets for' fnee distribution in Air Force hospitals. "The surgeon general, United States Air l Force; is obliged to decline your offer because l :of the recent evidence which suggests further Telation between cigaret smoking and lung can-' :cer, other pulmonary diseases and with certain , cardio-vascular diseases. Should • additional studies, including those being conducted by the United States Public Health Service and edu- cational' institutions, fail to substantiate recent claims that cigaret' smoking, is a causative fac- tor in these diseases, we.will gladly reconsider our position, . "We have truly appreciated your gidt offer- Ings in Ahe past, and your personal interest in the welfare of patients in our Adr' Force' hospitals.'r' The letter was signed by Brig, Gen. R. T. Jenkins, in the office of the Air Force surgeon general.. The second' letter, dated Sept. 17, was'an. 'official message to major Air Force com- Imands, signed, by Maj. Gen, R. L. Bohannon, deputy surgeon general of the Air Force. It said : - "The ever-increasing, evidence linking cig- aret aret smoking with lung cancer, pulmonary dis+ lease' cardio-vascular. diseases, etc., can no longer be'ignoredl The surgeon, general~ United' I States Air Force, has taken a, firm stand on tlus issue and has informed tobacco companies i that gift cigarets are no longer acceptable. ."To Pow free distributi6n of cigarets in our hospitals and' in flight lunches suggests to I our permnneli that' the Air Force Medical Serv- ice„in efieet, condones cigaret'smoking. To do so is to repudiate the overwhelming evidence of many medical research teams' working inde- pendently on a world-wide' basib: , "Henceforth, gift cigarets will not''be ac- cepted f'or free " distribution to' patients in United States Air Force hospitals nor will, they be placed in flight lunch boxes:"' Although 'the Air Force said it notified agents of tobacco companies and other donors of' cigarets of' its decision in a letter Aug. 1', spokesmdn for several tobacco companies said they hadn't received any official' notice. R. •J Reynolds Tobacco Co: will make no comment' until it receives sueh notice;, Charles B. Wade, Jr:, vice president'y said in Winston-Salem,. 2i1. C: George V. Allen, president of' the Tobacco Institute, an association of tobacco manufac- turers which denies that a link between sniolc- ing,and lung cancer has been proved, said in Washingtbn: "I don',t know any more than I ,read, in the mewspapers; and I' won't have any comment until I find, out more about it." Philip Morris, Inc.,, and American Tobacco Co. also had "no comment,"'spokesmen for the two companies said in New York. One tobacco industry source' said the Air Force action hadn taken the entire industry by surprise. "It seems kind of' queer,"' he said. "I've never heard of anyone turning down free cigarets, for 30'years the services have been trying, to'get all'the extra free cigareta they could."

Before 'AI1 E~iridence, Is In The:tobacco stocks are selling around, their lows for the year, off, from 30. ito 50 per cent from their ,x=w"'bull market highs. . •-,.The whole market is dbwn, but 'about the only other major investment that Is off this Much i& the 1ow1y regarded steels, and! . . for a different reason. The steels did' have a little Washington trouble in the ~ early Spring. . - In the case of the tobaccos, the main reason Is the periodic scares linking 'I smoking to cancer. Some of this Is Irre- aponsible, such as the latest. .Free Smokes Taboo Although not banning smoking by Air Force-personnel, the deputy surgeon gen- . eral of this armi of the military services has barred the distribution of free cig- arets to patients In Air Force .hospitals. Major Gen. R. L. Bohannon, the deputy, also barred inclusion of free cigarets In the packaged lunehes sgrved service per- sonnel on long flights. In a tough-worded directive, Gen. - Bohannon said "the ever increasing evi- dbnce linking cigaret smoking with liing cancer, pulmonary diseases, cardiovascu. 1sr diseases, etc.,, can no longer be lgnored: " • The general added that to "allow, free distribution of'cigarets ... suggests to our personnel that the Air Force MedicaT Service, In effect, condones cigaret smok- - „ ing. No New Evidence • First off, there Is no new evidence 'iinking smoking tb cancer. In fact, thee more recent studies raise the possibility the cause of' lung cancer may be due to a virus. :A,nbther fact Is that the curve of lung cancer has flattened out to around 34,000 cases a year,, which, no matter what the cause, is not goodi I3owever, only 4,000 of the 34,000 cases are women, where there Is the big increase in smoking. Generol''Jumps the Gun' . The Irresponsibility on the general's part comes In hls "beatKng the gun,"- so to speak, on a st'udy to be made by a 12- 'man committee of scientists into what,, if any, relationship there is between smoking, and cancer. . U.S. Surgeon Gen- eral Luther L. Terry has yet to name the committee. The Idea for its creation has been endorsed by President Hennedy, to whom the report' will' be made. - . Better taste on the general's part' would have been to wait not only for the naming, of this committee, but the report' on 1'ts findings. This Is to be a pains- taking and lengthy investigation, that, according to its announcement, will "go into 1 '63." While It was announced by the Air IForce medical officer that the companies -plumala-had been informed as to its de• cision, a check finds that only two eom- panies have been supplying gift elgarets and the notification went' to the adver+ fising agency, of one of these. Some of' the other companies only know what they read in the newspapers. .. Need Better Evidence The Army Is not following the Air Force in this, nor, is the Navy making any changes. A's for a long-time smoker of cigarets -a pack a day-plus cigars-about six a day-and a pipe, this writer isn't chang- ing the tobacco habit until!t'here is better evidence. There Is a favorable medical side to, sanoktng.-the calrning effect on nerves.

I'm sure anyone who has ever been to a burlesque house knows that In the front row many of the occupants have bald heads. Mcthrdle: 34kay I ask you to exclude present company. (He nodded in the direction of Judge Miller, who is bald.) Judge: Don't worry about present company. Greene: This occurs with such frequency that this row used to be called the bald- headed row.
