By ALLAN KELLER Scripps-Howard Staff Writer NEW YORK, Oct. 2—One of the hardest blows struck against Jommunist Russian expansion in the Middle East was engineered by Afghanistan.

Afghanistan also has asked the J. 8. for teachers, physicians, saniation engineers and experts. The icture in this Middle Eastern nai is reflected throughout the $ world. Fed up with the and fearing the. encroachent of Russia, these nations see 1 the United States their one hope f survival as free, independent tates. Russian methods are shrewd. Nothere ‘outside of northern Iran do ne Russians themselves make an ppearance., . Instead they work arough Moslem or Kurdish agents ‘hose homes were in the Soviet Ppublics fronting .on the.

Introduction of ‘American systems of health protection, sanitation, and nutrition have largely cleaned out disease, and improved the health of all natives in the community. As far as we've gone in the Middle East, businessmen and diplomats agree, we have made few mistakes. The need now is for a more clearly defined government policy | supporting the efforts of private | interests to lend aid where aid is | needed. Plus a few government | agricultural experts to help the} farmers improve their crops, public | health men to drain swamps and establish flood control and doctors to immunize against disease. The role business can play In helping these nations maintain independence is beyond measure.

It is admitted today by some in | the state department that the policy of ignoring the Middle East must be altered. When. this country | was wooing Latin America, less] efficient employees of embassies and consulates were moved out of | the nations south of the border and many of them sent into the Middle East. Such assignments of diplomats must cease. Backward as the peoples of the Arab world may be now, they are alert to their own hopes.
