NEHRU SAYS TIME FOR FRIENDLY U.S. MOVE TO RED CHINA -i Russia Trying to Lower U.S. Prestige In Middle East LONDON, accused the United States today of planning to take over the lion's share of British and French economic and political positions in the Middle East.

The Soviet Communist Party newspaper quoted Moscow radio. It said the U.S. is to replace Britain as the chief power in the Baghdad Pact defensive alignment. The English language broadcast probably also was transmitted in Arabic. Its intention apparently was to substitute the United States for Britain in Arab eyes as the chief imperialist menace to the Arab world.

It could also mean that the Soviet Union is worried about rising American prestige in the Middle East and is attempting to counter this by associating the U.S. with the Baghdad Pact, a mainspring of emotional Arab resentment against the West. The United States so far has refused to join the Baghdad alliance with Britain, Turkey, Iraq, Iran and Pakistan but is closely associated with it. The State Department two weeks ago pledged again to support the independence of the four Middle East nations in the alliance.
