Israel's Aid to Underdeveloped Countries
By MILTON FRIEDMAN
(Copyright 1967, JTA lnc.)
WASHINGTON — Israel's dem-
onstration of what small, develop-
ing nations can achieve in helping
each other may open paths for
broader international cooperation
and even Middle East peace, ac-
cording to a study by an official
of the United States Agency for
International Development.
A three-year study by develop-
ment officer Leopold Laufer, "Is-
rael and the Developing Countries:
New Approaches to Cooperation,"
is being published by the Twen-
tieth Century Fund.
Laufer rejects the conventional
view that, economic and technical
assistance must be channeled only
from rich nations to the poor. His
study traces Israel's overseas pro-
gram in examining what develop-
ing nations can do for one another.

Of all the developing countries,
Israel was found to have under-
taken the largest and most varied
program for expediting develop-
ment.
During the period covered by
the study 1956 to 1967. Israel
steadily developed its coopera-
tive activities with the small
countries of the developing
world. From 1958 to 1966, some
9,000 men and women from more
than 90 developing nations trav-
eled to Israel for training, study,
or observation. Israeli experts
carried out over 3,500 technical
assistance assignments abroad..
Illustrating the escalation and
chain-reaction lited by Israel. an
Israeli - established agricultural
training center in Venezuela was
so successful that Chile requested
the Veneguelan center to assist in
creating a similar institution,
United States technical assis-
tance started the whole process
when the Israelis first studied Un-1
ited States farming m et hods,
adapted them to Israeli needs, and
then exported the new techniques,
to other developing countries.
Laufer visited a wide variety of
cooperative projects now conduct-
ed by Israel in Asia, Africa, and
Latin America. Israel extended be-
tween $20 and $25 million in loans
to new nations since 1958. Begin-
ning in the year 1965, Israel im-
ported more goods from develop-
ing people than she exported to
them.
One reason given by the Un-
ited States experts for the suc-
cess of Israeli cooperative ac-
tivities is that many less-devel-
oped countries see Israel as hav-
ing fulfilled an attainable
dream — "a country that is
small, young, still struggling, yet
by the world's standards stable
and successful."
Laufer believes that Israeli
technical assistance capacities may
break the deadlock of Arab hatred
and non-recognition. He said that
"Israel's program of technical co-
operation has proved strongest in
precisely those areas in which
needs are most acute among Is-
rael's Arab neighbors — arid zone
agriculture, development and util-
ization of water resources, inte-
grated regional development and
youth training for nation building."
Ile said that fruitful cooperative
relations need not await the res-
olution of all major political con-

flicts and that great benefits can
be generated by small investments
of capital.
Optimistic of advances in coop-
eration that would surmount Arab-
Israeli political differences, Luaf-
er commented that "few would
have predicted in 1954, when Bur-
ma sent its first mission to Israel
to investigate the possibilities of
cooperation, that a decade later
Israel would have technical assis-
tance relations with some 80
countries."

Art Shamsky will be playing his
baseball in New York next season.
The 25-year-old outfielder was
traded to the N.Y. Mets by the
Cincinnati Reds for a 31-year-old
utility infielder. Shamsky will be
remembered as the man who hit
four runs in four consecutive times
at bat, and 21 homers in all, in
1966. He had a less successful sea-
son this past year managing only
a .191 batting average and a sea-
son total of just three home runs.
The Mets hope that a change
of scene will work wonders for his
batting eye. Shamsky will be the
third Jewish player to appear in
a Mets' uniform. He was preceded
on the club by Mike Ginsberg and
Norm Sherry, both catchers.
Rich Scheinblum appears to
have what it takes to make the
Cleveland Indians outfield next sea-
son. He played well in his late
season trial this year after the
Tribe brought him up from Port-
land of the Pacific Coast League.
A switch-hitter, he batted .291 with
16 homers and 64 RBIs with Port-
land, and tied for the title of best
hitting prospect in a vote of the
league's managers.
Scheinblum, a 25-year-old grad-
uate of C. W. Post College, will be
entering his fifth year of profes-
sional ball. Ile played right field
and batted .318 in 18 games for
the Indians.
At the close of the season Mike
Epstein said, "maybe a year in the
minor league would have done me
some good, but I still think I be-
long here (in the majors)." Epstein
closed his rookie season with nine
home runs and a .226 average.
"I also like Mike Epstein's po-
tential as a hitter," said new Wash-
ington manager Lemon, "he swings
a good bat. I think Mike will im-
'prove defensively at first base
with work."
Sandy Koufax' retirement is one
of the big reasons given for the
2,121,510 drop in attendance by
the National League in 1967.
Ron Blomberg, N.Y. Yankee
bonus baby, hit .297 with 10 hom-
ers and 55 RBIs in 66 games with
Johnson City of the Appalachian
Rookie League. One baseball ex-
pert feels the Yanks should make
the young Georgian an outfielder.
"He runs too fast and throws too
good to be fooling around at first
base."
Houston outfielder Norm Miller
expects to complete his Army Re-
serve duty in time to start spring
training. Miller hit .205 for the
Astros in his rookie year.
Shortstop Steve Richman was
named to the New York-Pennsyl-
vania.League's all-star team. Rich-
man, a Columbia grad from Brook-
lyn, batted .284 in his initial pro-
fessional year.
