I U. S. to revive Mideast efforts m By Bernard Gwcrtxmsn IB N. Y. Times Service WASHINGTON - Administration officials said Tuesday that they were determined to use American influence to revive the stalled Middle East negotiations despite the apparent rebuff to the American peace efforts by the government of Prime Minister Menachem Begin of Israel After studying Sunday's Israeli cabinet decision for the past two days, administrative officials said there was no doubt that Israel's response to American proposals had fallen short of American hopes and also was inadequate to persuade President Anwar el- Sad- at of Egypt to resume direct negotiations with Israel But the sources said the ad-ministration doesn't intend to launch See related stories, Page 3A another round of recriminations with Begin, but rather to see what other approaches could be found to resume negotiations. " There is no sense of crisis around here," a State Department official involved in Middle East diplomacy said. " We're exploring various ap proaches with Israel and Egypt and ma week or so mayknow what to do next " The obvious course of action, officials said, is for Secretary of State Cyrus R Vance and Alfed L. Atberton Jr , the special Middle East envoy, to fly to the area separately or together to consult with top leaders on resuming negotiations and about possible American proposals to break the diplomatic impasse In advance of such travel, Vice President Walter Mandate is going to Israel on June 29 for a good will mission and will hold talks with top Israeli leaders. The United States, over a penod of months, has tried to persuade Begin to change the plan for the occupied West Bank and Gaza Strip that he enunciated in December. But the Israeli statement Sunday made it clear that Begin was adamant against altering his plan to offer self- rul- e to Palestinians in the area but kept military and police control and barred the occupied regions from joining with other Arab states or having their own independent government As a result, the Begin plan was rejected by Sadat and other Arab leaders. Nazis may cancel Skokie march N Y. Times Service . CHICAGO In a move that could lead to the cancellation of a widely publicized Nazi march scheduled for today in the predominantly Jewish suburban village of Skokie, UJ. District Court Judge ordered the Chicago Park District Tuesday to allow the right- win- g group to demonstrate in Marquette Park onJuly 9. Freak Coffin, leader of the small National Socialist Party of America, ; repeatedly husaid be would can off the flkokJe march if tab group ware allowed to bold a i to & fcuthwest Side nark near the Nazi headquarters on West 71st Street After Tuesday's ruling by ILS District Judge George N. Leighton, Collin would not confirm immediately that his requirements had been met for canceling the Sunday march, which Jewish groups here have pledged to meet with a awnter- demonstrati- on of up to 50,000 persons. " I will bars to read the transcript of the Judge's ruling and consult with dtddfaw whether we wilfcS off the BkoUe demmatratien," CoUa told Thursday to announce U decision. Earlier Tuesday, he had threatened to expand his group's activities if the judge upheld a 980,000- insuran- ce requirement imposed by the Park District for groups of 75 or more per-sons holding rallies. " It's only the beginning," said Collin, who affects an across- tbe- forehe- ad Hitler hair style. " If we don't get our rights, they haven't seen anything yet" He said he would take his Nazis not only to Skokie, but to Buffalo Grove, another suburb, which has a growing Jewish population. Both added that be would prefer to march in Marquette Park " among white people',' instead of being con-fronted by ' " a mob of howling creatures" in Skokie At a news conference in Skokie Tuesday, Bonnie Pechter, national director of the Jewish Defense League, declared that If the Coffin group did not march in Skokie Sunday, " We will march on the Nazi headquarters in Chicago." " It's time we step treating them on a nice, polite, intellectual Jewish level," he ssld. " Nazis are afraid of one thing landlnain the hospital We can't expect people to respect us If we dont stand up andfight" Postal merger increases costs, study shows ByEricMinton Missourian staff writer A study of mid- Missou- n's postal service by the General Accounting Office shows the consolidation of Columbia and Jefferson City mail sorting facilities has meant increased costs without unproved mail service GAO representatives observed the Columbia facility in January as part of the study conducted from September 1977 through February 1978 In addition, GAO studied statistics for the entire period. The study covers the first six months of the consolidation, Columbia Postmaster William Klaus said, but since then the facility has " reached a point well above last year's level of service" The study, requested by Sen JohnC Danf orth, R- M- o , was released Tuesday and details mail service from October to February, although Columbia and Jefferson City combined their mail processing facilities at the Columbia Regional Airport in September GAO reported that " any consolidation of mail processing facihties is likely to have start- u- p problems," however, " the problems in this consolidation seem greater than other consolidations we have examined " The report said that the two objectives of the consolidation had not been realized reduced operating costs and unproved service Although cost reductions ranging from $ 274,000 to $ 356,000 annually were projected, the report said " as of March 1978, no reductions had been achieved." " We believe that the consolidation should in tune result in savings of about $ 205,000 a year, mostly as a result of in-creased productivity from using letter sorting machines," the report said The study showed that the quality of mail service " deteriorated just after the consolidation," but it has im-proved and " should continue to improve to the pre- consolida- tion level " Klaus said GAO studied the facility when only half of the mail processing machine was operating sorting outgoing mail The machine began full operation in January while GAO was observing the operation ' If you would take the same survey now, you would find we are six months along since that survey," he said " We haven't at this time achieved our potential, that's true But we're better than what we were last year " Klaus said the facility has reached its potential in mail service, but has not yet achieved its savings potential He said most of the cost is created by overtime and part- tim- e workers and that savingstbPginfter the facilityiafuBysiagaifc- t- - " We arelrsfmng 20 new employees and training won't be complete until July 5," Klaus said. " Then we are hiring 10 more after that " Ultimately, we will reach the potential expected of this building I'm positive that in three or four months we will be pretty close to cost savings," he said Flaws still plague joint communications center By Sharon Benson I Htsseurian staff writer I After almost five months of I operation, the dty- coun- ty joint com-- i munication system for police and fire departments apparently still has some ' bugs in it II At a meeting of the Boone County ' Joint Communications Advisory Board I Tuesday, Presiding Judge William I Freeh said there must be " im-- ! provementsin the performance" of the Joint communications operation " I don't mean to be critical,'' be said, " but there are shortcomings from all sides and there will continue to be shortcomings from all sides." Freeh said the communications center still has a problem of locating the point of emergency, and emergency personnel often get lost before reaching their destination, especially when it is outside the Columbia city limits The emergency communication system's dispatchers ask callers for street address or county road names and for directions to the caller's location " We need to improve citizens' descriptions of where they are," Freeh said. He suggested using the county's grid system to help pinpoint locations and putting stickers listing the emergency number on citizens' phones Freeh said his idea may take two years to implement fully, but " you have to start any place you can start I think we need to go " Communications system director Jim Lundsted was assigned to study Freeh's proposal. The communications system also drew criticism from Sheriff Charlie Foster and one of his deputies, Maj Bill Whitehead " The dispatchers don't give the in-formation the way it came in," said Foster, who has been a critic of the system since its inception " They're just not paying enough attention " Foster also said part of the problem is that the dispatchers are civilians, not police officers " They set different priorities," he said Whitehead said officers often are told to " stand by" and sometimes are forgotten. " It's just laxity," he said " Somebody's not doing their job Part of it is that they just don't care " In response to Foster and Whitehead's criticism, Lundsted said, " It's awfully easy to throw rocks after the fact, but m back them ( the dispatchers) up to the nickel that they do care " After the meeting, Lundsted defended his employees again, saying " They do the job as well as they can " He said Freeh's proposal would " enhance" the system, but he preferred a remedy that was " already in the works" the Boone County Betterment Association's project to put road signs in rural areas of the county The gnd system was tried in 1968 by tiie Boone County Ambulance District, but failed, Lundsted said. " The problem was with public ac-ceptance," be said " With public ac-ceptance, we can make it work " In other action, Lundstead presented the system's 1978- 7- 9 budget More than half 53 percent of the $ 285,070 proposed budget would be paid by the Columbia Police Department The Boone County Sheriffs Department and the Columbia Fire Department each would pay 21 percent Five per-cent would be paid by the Boone County Fire Protection District The budget and the percentages first must be approved by the advisory committee and then accepted by the Boone County Court, the Columbia City Council and the Boone County Fire Protection District The 1978- 7- 9 proposed budget is $ 72,499 more than this year's Lundsted said the proposed hiring of two additional staff members and the purchase of new recording equipment caused most of the increase Lundsted said the additional personnel would allow him to give his employees vacations, sick leave and time off without major rescheduling Columbia Police Chief David Walsh suggested the board only approve one of the staff additions in an effort to trim expenses -- Inside today 1 Bonus buy As usual, your Columbia Missourian is a bargain buy Your purchase today brings you a bonus of more than $ 10 in money- savin- g coupons, most of which you'll want to redeem when you do your weekly grocery shopping Recipe mailer BHBHBHi What do recipes, phone books and friends have HHtLBbn in common7 HDLjhh MaxJneBallew of Columbia flfliHflfinHfi Miss Ballew collects them all she sends GHffm recipes to people she doesn't know but whose HLflHCw HHm addresses she finds in phone books, and she IHHBrl 9 makes many friends doing it flBa: v7 How and why she does it is the subject of our HHHK'A story today in People, Page 2B wssir. s Tigers sign hurler PaulSummers, a third baseman- pitche- r from St Louis, has signed a letter- of- inte- nt with the Missouri baseball Tigers Summers had a 506 batting average, scored 23 runs and drove in 27 runs.
