NO WRITER ATTRIBUTED

His Excellency Najib-Ullah, Afghanistan's Ambassador to the United States, paid a one day visit to the University yesterday.

Najib-Ullah, who was minister of education in Afghanistan from 1946-49, said that the purpose of his visit was both to gain new ideas about education and to see a University that he had known about from his youth.

His activities here included talking with University officials, visiting a seminar and speaking on Afghanistan foreign policy.

In his talk at Littauer last night he pointed out that Afghanistan was a small state, with a population of 12 million, surrounded by much greater powers. He explained that this forced his country to follow a policy of neutrality to avoid being swallowed up by one or the other of the great powers.
