STATE HISTORICAL SOCIETY 19334 HITT & LO'A'RY ST. COLUMBIA, MO. 65201 ST 5- 1- 4- 74 w story on Page 16A 70th Year No. 247 ( lootl Moniiuil It's Thursday. July ( k ll) 7H 3 Sections - 42 Pages - 15 Cents I Sadat unveils 6new' peace plan details By Christopher S. Wren N. Y. Times Service CAIRO Egypt made public Wednesday the details of its latest Middle East peace plan, which is based on a proposal that Israel has already turned down. The new plan, which President Anwar el- Sad- at gave to American Vice President Walter Mondale at their brief meeting in Alexandria Monday, represents Cairo's new position for the foreign ministers' talks in London that the United States has proposed to bring Israel and Egypt together later this month. The plan was released by the Egyptian foreign ministry Wednesday following a concerted buildup in the Cairo press. The Egyptian formula calls on Israel to pull out of the West Bank and the Gaza Strip within a five- ye- ar period and hand over transitional sovereignty to Jordan and Egypt, which formerly governed the respective territories. At the end of the five years, the 1.1 million Palestinian residents would be allowed to decide their own future. A week and a' half ago, the Israeli cabinet rejected " unreservedly" the plan on the basis of Cairo radio reports, contending that Egypt was demanding Israel's withdrawal from the West Bank and Gaza as a precon-dition for new negotiations. When President Carter complained that the Egyptian proposal was not yet made, Prime Minister Menachem Begin replied that Israel had dismissed only Sadat's preconditions and not the plan itself. The plan was first sketched out nearly two months ago by Sadat in an interview with The New York Times. While it was doubtful that Israel would accept it this time around, Egyptian official sources contended that there were a number of flexible points inside the familiar package that left room for compromise. However, Foreign Minister Mohammed Ibrahim Kamel recently declared that " there are things that cannot be really the subject of compromise." Among other elements, Cairo has proposed that Egypt, Jordan, Israel and " represen-tatives of the Palestinian people," together with the United Nations, negotiate a timetable for Israel's withdrawal, details of a transitional government and mutual security guarantees for all parties during and after the five year transition. The plan also reiterates Sadat's contention that durable peace depends upon " a just solution of the Palestinian question in all its aspects," a partial paraphrase of Carter's own formulation at Aswan early this year. And it asks for arrangements to implement " relevant U. N. resolutions on Palestinian refugees." One of the relatively few new details is a provision for an immediate administrative role by Palestinian authorities as soon as the territories are returned. " Jordan and Egypt shall carry out their responsibility in cooperation with freely elected represen-tatives of the Palestinian people who shall exercise direct authority over the ad-ministration of the West Bank and Gaza," the plan says. This is likely to be contested by Israel, which is worried about the evolution of a Palestinian state on its borders. The plan omitted any mention of the Palestine Liberation Organization, though it did not preclude the participation of officials sympathetic to the PLO. The portions probably least palatable to Israel are Egypt's demand for the return of the Arab part of Jerusalem, which Israel annexed after the 1967 war, and the removal of Jewish settlements in the occupied territories. On the other hand, the plan appears to demand only that Israel agree in principle to withdraw before the actual negotiations get under way and does not specify when the withdrawal must take place. It also proposes that the United Nations " supervise and facilitate" the pullout as well as the " restoration of Arab authority." No reference was made in the plan to an American contribution, though Washington would be an implicit observer through its current intermediary role. It was also not clear how Jordan would be brought into the negotiations, in view of Amman's expressed reluctance to become involved at this stage. Cairo's proposal would commit Egypt and Jordan to guarantee that the security arrangements worked out in such negotiations would remain in effect after the Palestinian homeland was created. The Israelis have contended that if they pulled out of the occupied territories, they would ( See EGYPTIAN, Page 16A) J .

Israel has already rejected similar plans. Both Arabs and Israelis seek peace Each seeks goal on individual terms By Philipp Harper Middle East reporting program JERUSALEM Like the proverbial blind men who try to describe an elephant by touch, parties to the Middle East conflict interpret their, common dilemma in radically different ways. Even at the most fundamental level, Arabs and Jews seem unable to agree aa framework in which to deal with their problems. While West Bank Arabs and their proponents throughout the Arab world link a peace settlement to the establishment of a Palestinian homeland, Israel's government believes peace can come only after there has been a basic shift in the Arab state of mind. Yaakov Keinan, Israeli foreign ministry spokesman, says the Arabs' longtime refusal to recognize Jewish rights of self- determinati- on is at the heart of the conflict. This tendency, he says, is the result of the Jews' status as " second- clas- s citizens" during the Moslem Caliphate and under Turkish rule. In the Israeli view, Egyptian President Anwar Sadat's recent willingness to negotiate directly with Israel represented the first shift in the Arab perspective. By implicitly recognizing the conflict as a political one, Keinan says, Sadat " de- demonize- d" the situation. Jamil Hamad, a member of the editorial board of A- Sha- ab, the West Bank's largest Arab daily, says Keinan's approach to the problem is " purely academic." Although Hamad does not deny the historical bases of the problem, he believes the current impasse in Arab- Israe- li relations is tied most strongly to the plight of the Palestinian people. Calling the Palestinians the " new wandering Jews," Hamad says they " cry" for a state of their own because they are welcomed in neither Israel nor the surrounding Arab states, in which ( See ISRAELIS, Page 16A) IfZ j stop trie $ mb& m A protest group of mostly Lebanese Americans demonstrates before the Syrian Embassy in Washington in an outcry against the shelling of UPI telephoto residential areas in Beirut, Lebanon, by Syrian forces in the latest outbreak of fighting in the Lebanese civil war. See related story, page 15A. Israel silent oil peace plan By William E. Farrell N. Y. Times Service JERUSALEM Egypt's interim peace plan for the West Bank and the Gaza Strip met official silence in Israel Wednesday. But some officials, speaking in private, said it was a disappointment that served to illustrate the wide gap between Israel and Egypt on the issues of peace. The officials said they were certain that the Egyptian proposal, made public in Cairo, would not impede the trip to London later this month by Foreign Minister Moshe Dayan for a meeting with Foreign Minister Mohammed Ibrahim Kamel of Egypt and Secretary of State Cyrus R. Vance. A few days ago, during the visit to Israel of Vice President Mondale, the Israelis said that Dayan's participation at the London meeting was assured so long as the Egyptian plan did not require prior acceptance by Israel of negotiating conditions. President Anwar el- Sada- t's plan, a long awaited counter- propos- al to the peace plan put forth last December by Prime Minister Menachem Begin, appeared at least to meet that Israeli stipulation. A rather gloomy view was also reflected in recent talks with Egyptian officials in Cairo. Both sides seem willing to participate in the London talks mainly out of desire to please the Americans rather than because of any expectation of a major breakthrough. " I don't see much hope the gap is very wide," a foreign ministry official said Wednesday. " I don't see how the gap can be bridged." An Israeli reaction to the Egyptian proposal a number of elements of which came as no surprise here is expected to emerge Sunday at the regular cabinet meeting, although an earlier special cabinet session to deal with it has not been ruled out. One Israeli official, who asked not to be identified, said: " We were very disappointed by the Egyptian coun--' terproposals although we were not surprised by them." The Egyptian plan, in his view, had a " very extremist tone." In essence, the plan does not abandon two key points both unacceptable to Israel and insisted upon by Sadat since he made his visit to Israel last November the right of the million Palestinian Arabs in the Israeli- occupie- d West Bank of the Jordan and the Gaza Strip to self- determinati- on and a demand that Israel withdraw from the territories captured during the 1967 war. The Egyptian plan calls for United Nations supervision of the Israeli withdrawal from the territories. This is certain to displease the Israelis, who have little regard for United Nations forces or faith in their ability to remain impartial. The Egyptian text, in English translation, says: " The Israeli military government in the West Bank and the Gaza Strip shall be abolished at the outset of the transitional period." Sadat calls for a five- ye- ar transition period, the same time period mentioned by Begin in his plan, which calls for a system of civil autonomy for the Palestinian Arabs while Israel retains a military presence for security pur-poses. WASHINGTON ( UPI) A valuable national resource Americans' per-sonal information in Social Security files is poorly protected against falsification, misuse and theft, the General Accounting Office said Wed-nesday. The GAO, an investigative arm of - Congress, discussed the problem in a report requested by Reps. Charles Rose, D- N.- C, and John Moss, D- Ca- lif . Paper files in the Social Security Administration are not covered by any firm or fully enforced protective rules, the report said. And it said computerized data can be reached by unauthorized persons because there often is " unlimited and unrestricted access to terminals." A member of Moss' staff said somebody could steal or surreptitiously use a computer terminal to gain access to huge amounts of personal in-formation. One terminal already . has been stolen, he said, " and we know not where it is." Due to such lack of security, people would be able to falsify and change records to siphon off benefits, the staff member said. The Social Security Administration started a " security awareness program" during the GAO's in-vestigation, the report said. But more is needed, it said, recommending : Restricting what records can be reached by certain computer ter-minals. Strictly controlling data printouts. Limiting the number of people authorized to change records or file new ones. " These programs generate millions of records on workers and beneficiaries that are maintained in automated data banks and files," the GAO said. " The records constitute a valuable national resource that must be safeguarded against alteration, destruction, abuse or misuse." As an example of abuse, the report said: " One employee was selling Social Security cards to illegal aliens and others who desired a new identity. Because this employee had access to the computer system and knew how to use it, he would summon up the names and Social Security numbers of people who had died. " Then he would type those names and numbers on Social Security cards, stolen from the office, and sell them in the underground market." Municipal Court study calls for reorganization By Mike Robinson and Mark Shepherd Missourian staff writers Columbia's Municipal Court should be reorganized so the municipal judge and city prosecutor can concentrate more on their judicial roles and less on administrative duties, according to an independent study released Wednesday by Sixth Ward Councilman Clyde Wilson. The study also recommends reducing clerical inefficiencies, which this year alone have cost the city $ 50,000 in un-paid traffic fines. The 68- pa- ge study, prepared by Mark Koenig and Associates of Tallahassee, Fla., says the judge and prosecutor often waste time on unwarranted ad-ministrative work. The prosector's office has " undue clerical burdens,' the study says, most of which " can be eliminated or simplified." The report says: " The caseload has reached the point where the judge must devote increasingly more time to off- ben- ch work." A lack of organization and clearly defined job descriptions, and low staff salary levels in the court clerk's office, have made Judge Fred Dannov " more than a half- tim- e judge," the study says. As a result, it says, the City Council should consider appointing a full- tim- e judge and perhaps an ad-ditional city prosecutor. Judge Dannov, who has been calling for structural changes in the municipal court since taking office in 1975, said he is " extremely satisfied" with all but one aspect of the Koenigs report. He said he opposes the recomendsd hiring ( See STUDY, Page 16A) Inside today Abused children Children who suffer at the hand of an abusing or neglectful parent sometimes find that the courts offer them little protection.

Movie listings on Page 15A Olson reveals Howling retirement By Julie Black Missourian staff writer Although there was speculation that University President James Olson would announce major personnel changes in the university ad-ministration at a specially called press conference Wednesday, that an-nouncement never came. Olson said instead that Dale Bowling, 61, University vice president for business management, has announced his plans to retire " at an early date." Olson, who is determined to streamline the University's central administration, said Bowling's duties would be reassigned to the Office of Administrative Affairs, headed by Vice President James Buchholz. When Buchholz was appointed in May 1977, Olson said he told the new vice president he would have to assume greater administrative responsibilities. " I'm going to reorganize the whole non- acade- mic area," Olson said. The move to have Buchholz take over Bowling's position " is another reorganization designed to streamline the organization of the University. I don't know what the streamline will look like when it's completed." Olson said the University " will rely heavily on Bowling's knowledge" when it comes time to make personnel changes. No date has been set for Bowling's retirement. Bowling has been directly respon-sible for the planning, funding and construction of more than 100 building projects at an estimated cost of $ 250 million and has helped develop the University of Missouri- St- . Louis campus, Olson said. Bowling probably will continue working with the University as a consultant after his retirement. " I think I have an agreement from him," Olson said. In 1943, Bowling graduated from the University with a bachelor's degree in business administration and joined the University as an accountant. After serving in several positions in the business office, he was appointed business manager in March 1952. President John Weaver recommended Bowling for vice president for business management in 1970, and the board of curators appointed him to the post on April 10, 1970. Also asked how the University is going to deal with an attempt by Weldon Spring Heights residents to annex 3,000 acres ( 1,290 hectares) of Weldon Spring property, Olson did not rule out the possibility of legal action. - " We'll take all steps that are ap-propriate." The University recently sold .7,238 acres ( 2,892- hectare- s) of Weldon Spriag property to the Missouri Department oj Conservation for $ 12.4 million.
