Rouhollah Amir Rouhi, na- i of Teheran, at Blackfoot Kiwanis. He said if Iran defects to communism it will be for the same reason Cuba did Ihe sheer size of its big neighbor. With its whole northern border exposed to Russia, Iran might easily.be forced to Soviet dictation. Even violent opposition to communism by Ihe Moslems in the 20 million population may not oKset other influences. Rouhi implied that Russian aid is better directed than is the channeling of dollars from the United States.

He said that historically Iran is inclined to friendship because "America gives without exploiting us," The trouble is that dollars too often merely fatten purses of Five Injured In Collision In City Center Five persons were injured in a two-car accident in the 300 block of North Arthur Injured were Donna Rae Parker, 8, 405 Pershing; Cindy Underwood, 5, Ceri Underwood, 10, Bill Underwood, 3, and Logan Underwood, 48, all of 354 North Arthur. All were treated and released at Bannock Memorial Hospital. The Parker girl was a passenger in a car driven by Vickie Kay Zimmerman, 20, Skyline Drive. The other persons were riding in truck driven by Underwood, officer 0. R.

Pharris said. Zimmerman told Pharris she did not see a slop sign as she was going cast on West Fremont. She collided with the Underwood truck, a I960 pickup, and then ran into the front yard of Wililam F. Hanke, 354 North Arthur, Pharris said. The Underwood truck was damaged about $GDO.

Pharris said the pickup was damaged on the left and right doors, on the front fenders, about the grill and on the windshield.

What is needed most is help to cure an 85 per cent illiteracy and more technological aids in Iran, he said.

He described Iran, except for ihorelines on the Persian Gulf ind Caspian Sea. as a tableland four to six thousand feet above sea level, its economy mainly agrarian. Jt raises plenty of food, but near starvation is common in a feaudal system which land owners leave workers mere subsistence percentages of a wide iety of crops. The huge petroleum production also merely makes the rich richer. To indicate liow vast the difference in living standards, Rouhi cited a'palace on the Persian Gulf as big as the whole town of Blackfoot contrasted with mere huts to house adjacent milling population.

Rouhi suggested aid of the right kind should not be difficult. Language of the former Persia has a western world pattern and is easy to learn. The population is Aryan. Also its culture since the days of Zoroaster long before Christ has more in common with the western world than with the oriental. Rouhi, educated in Beirut and other universities, is at present on the psychiatric staff of the State Hospital South.
