KABUL, Afghanistan (M'-This
land-locked central Asian king-
dom has broken off diplomatic re-
lations with its southern neighbor,
Pakistan, after mutual shooting
and shouting-leaving the United
State's squarely in the middle.
The developments have cold war
overtones.
The United States, a military
ally of Pakistan, patched up an
earlier dispute between the two,
and is reported working feverish-
ly to heal the latest rift.
The Soviet Union, Afghanistan's
northern neighbor, is using the op-
portunity to draw this primitive,
Moslem kingdom closer to her.
Russia has already equipped the
Afghan army with modern wea-
pons, and is busy building roads
in the northern half of the nation.
Neutral Role

The United States, hoping to
keep Afghanistan in its tradi-
tional neutral role as a ubffer
state between Russia and Western
influenced nations, is building
roads and dams in the south, and
pouring in other aid.
Uncle Sam has some $200 mil-
lion committed to aid Afghanistan.
Russia has promised $220 million
\-more than to any other nation
outside the Iron Curtain.
American aid, which has al-
ways gone overland through Paki-
stan, is stacking up on the docks
there, since Afghanistan won't
accept it until its trade missions
are reopened. The United States
apparently won't ship it by the
only other route available, through,
Soviet Russia.
Aid Goods
Pakistan says it will sell the aid
goods, if they aren't cleared soon.
More are o nthe high seas, includ-
ing some aid from Japan. The
goods, mostly road building equip-
ment, cement, wheat and educa-
tional supplies, are not perishable.
On both sides the press has
whipped up the dispute, with the
United States getting caught in
the backlash.
The Afghans say the United
States should have brought pres-
sure on Pakistan to prevent the
rupture.,
Recent Statement
The Pakistan press in turn
pounced -all over a recent state-
ment by the United States Infor-
mation Agency that used the
phrase "border dispute", which
Pakistan says does not exist. One'
newspaper suggested Americans
stay in their air conditioned of-
fices and mind their own business.
The United States is keen to
solve the dispute for two reasons.
1. American foreign policy is
aimed at keepink Pakistan-a
member of both SEATO and CEN-
TO pacts-firmly on the United
States side, and Afghanistan out
of the arms of the Soviets.
2. A new truption of violence
could come this fall, when the no-
madic tribesmen bring their flocks
down from the Afghan highlands
to the Pakistan lowlands, as they
have done in winter for genera-
tions.
Travel Devices
Pakistan says it will stop them
at the border this ,year, to check
passports, visas and health cards
-modern travel devices that have
never penetrated into the region,
which is in southwest Pakistan.

Violence erupted at another
point on the border, in the wind-
swept areas north of the fabled
Khyber Pass, last year. Pakistan
claims 4,000 Afghan irregulars
crossed into the Bajaur area in
September, 1960, and were re-
pulsed by the Pakistan army. Re-
ports say 1,500 Afghans were
killed.
In May, in the same wild road-
less terrain of mud forts and iso-
lated villages, Pakistan claimed
one of its army outposts was at-
tacked by Afghan regular sol-
diers using Russian machine guns
and mortars-the first time the
use of either Soviet equipment or
Afghan regulars had been charged.
Afghanistan denied the charges.
The Pakistan troops fired back
with weapons provided by the
United States, to bring the cold
war symbolically to one of the
most remote spots in Asia.
However, the dispute between
the two nations goes back farther
than that.
Afghanistan has never been
happy with the 1893 treaty with
British India which established
the "Durand Line" as the limit
of British influence and in effect
the border with Afghanistan.
The British never really admin-
istered up to the line, leaving the
Northwest Frontier tribes to gov-
ern themselves so long as they
left the British alone on the low-
er ground.

But the border remained when
India became independent in 1947,
and Pakistan was created as Af-
ghanistan's new neighbor.
Afghan Maps
However, Afghan maps soon be-
gan to show an area from the Du-
rand line clear to the Indus River,
as well as the entire area north of
the Khyber Pass, as "Pakhuni-
stan." It comprised roughly two-
thirds of all of West Pakistan, and
'included a population of some 11
million persons, only slightly few-
er than the population of Afghani-
stan itself.
The Afghan government con-
tended these people were Afghans,
held down by Pakistan repression.
The government said these people
wanted a separate state of Pakh-
tunistan, and a plebiscite should
be held.
Pakistan would have non of it.
Pakistan claimed that Afghani-
stan really wanted to add this
territory to itself, so it would have
a long-desired outlet on the Ara-
bian sea, and also restore a part
of the old Afghan empire which
was once the capital of the pres-
ent ruling group in Kabul.
Closes Boider
The agitation for Pakhtunistan
continued until the Pakistan gov-
ernment closed the border in 1955,
shutting off Afghan trade to the
outside.
Russia jumped into the fray,
and opened trade routes for the,

traditionally neutral country
through Soviet territory. The
United States brought pressure on
both nations, and the dispute was
settled.
However, the Russians had a
foot in the door, and began to
move in behind it.
The dispute boiled over again
this year. Both sides accused the
other of subversion, and Pakistan
ordered Afghan consulates and
trade agencies in the troubled
areas closed.
Breaks Relation
Afghanistan responded by
breaking off diplomatic relations,
Sept. 6.
Trade, and American aid, again
came to a halt.
The Russians backed Afghan-
istan, and Foreign Minister Mo-
hammad Naim, a close cousin of
the King, made a quick trip to
Moscow.
Pakistan's latest move-the an-
nouncement that the nomads
would not be able to make their
traditional border crossing with-
out travel documents they do not
possess-is apparently aimed at
bringing pressure on Kabul.
Meanwhile, the Americans are
reportedly trying to convince
Pakistan that it is in its national
interest to get along with Afghan-
istan, unless it wants a modern
army with Russian tanks rumbling
along its northern border, over
,roads ,built with U.S. aid.
