COURIER POST, Sunday, July 11, 1942 9E '11 Jvremlin trustrated by Mideast sion. Above all else, Moscow's options are limited by Washington's insistence that the Middle East is an area vital to its interests. A show of force there by the Kremlin might satisfy some Palestinians like Kaddoumi, head of the PLO's political department quoted last week as urging Moscow to take "drastic" action to stop the Israelis. SUCH ACTION, however, could bring Moscow into a military showdown with Washington in an area that is not essential to the Soviet Union's economic or political stability. "Let's face it.

They have less at stake there than the United States," said one Western diplomat, citing U.S. oil interests in the Mideast. He interpreted Brezhnev's warning to Reagan as another attempt by the Soviet leader to "show the flag" in the area. State-run media have repeatedly described developments in Lebanon as being of interest to the Soviet Union "from the viewpoint of its own security" because of its "direct proximity to the borders of theU.S.S.R." Despite public posturing by the Soviet leadership, the diplomat said he understood that a series of private messages conveyed to the United States by the Kremlin since the invasion was launched on June 6 have been "neither blustering, nor gear up for lin would use all its "weight and to force Israeli troops from Lebanon. But Western experts say the Israeli invasion of Lebanon has proved once again that Moscow does not carry much weight or exert much influence in the Middle East.

THEY CITEDthese points: Despite repeated warnings from the Kremlin, Israeli troops remain in Beirut nearly five weeks after launching the invasion. The dispatch of an interna-: tional peacekeeping force, including U.S. Marines, seems likely to go ahead with formal backing of the Lebanese government. The troops would oversee the evacuation of thousands of PLO guerrillas from their west Beirut strongholds. Moscow's chief ally in the region Syria was dealt a serious military setback by the Israelis, who inflicted heavy losses on the Soviet-supplied Syrian army.

Although Moscow was embarrassed by the Syrian defeat, the Soviets tried to play down the Israeli successes by publishing inflated figures of Israeli losses. There are grumblings in the Arab world that the Soviet Union has not done enough to protect the Palestinians. One Palestinian leader, Farouk Kaddoumi, was quoted as saying it was "not enough just to denounce Israel's aggres Israel may find Continued from Page 5 Middle East for several decades, and his revolution has won enormous support among young Moslems throughout the region. Iran was the sole state to join Syria in providing direct aid to the Palestinians in Lebanon. Arab youth, taking note of that fact, are publicly questioning the sincerity of their leaders.

More than $90,000 was collected at the convention booth, Herndon said, an average of $14 per delegate. That gives the PAC $780,000 for the r. year, more than double the amount it raised during the entire 1980 cam-. Political director Kenneth Melley already has spent thousands from that fund, donating to 22 Senate and 109 House candidates who have been endorsed by NEA.

He says more endorsements are to come. THE POLITICAL STAFF has assigned a number, from one through six, to every contest for a congressional seat. The ones, twos threesy whicli are close races involving NEA's special friends, special enemies or an open seat, are eligible for the full $10,000 allowed by law. The fours, fives and which identify races that aren't too close, get less money, if any. i No one gets an NEA endorsement, impotence threatening" in "Essentially, they've said the same thing privately that they've said publicly: that they want the United States to use its influence to get Israel out of Lebanon," he said.

BREZHNEV'S LATEST warning, as reported by Tass, was couched in yague terms, and, like previous warnings, contained no specific threat of Soviet action. From Moscow's point of view, the plan to send the peacekeeping force, including U.S. Marines and French soldiers, would further increase American influence in the region, to the detriment of the Soviet position. Moscow's diplomatic role in the region was sharply curtailed after the 1978 signing of the Camp David peace treaty between Israel and Egypt. Its ally, Syria, has not resisted U.S.

negotiator Philip C. Habib's mediation role during the latest crisis nor insisted that the Soviets take an active role in negotiations to get the Israelis out of Lebanon. Furthermore, the PLO's removal from Lebanon would likely make that country more receptive to American initiatives in the Middle East and further reduce Soviet influence in the Arab world. For that reason, a diplomat said Thursday, the "Soviets are prepared to fight until the last Palestinian" in an effort to block the U.S. plan to use troops in the region.
