SENIOR CITIZENS FIGHT INFLATION With A 2 Year Lease* Sadat Asked to Renew Talks NEW YORK (JTA) — Is- raeli Premier Menahem Begin called on Egyptian President Anwar Sadat on Sunday to "renew the spirit of Jerusalem and Ismailia." Appearing on NBC-TV's "Meet the Press," Begin said this spirit was impor- tant to the Middle East peace process. The Israeli Premier ex- plained that at his meetings with Sadat in Jerusalem and Ismailia there were dis- cussions despite "dif- ferences" between the two. He said there should be negotiations without ul- timatums. He noted that Is- rael has proposed a peace plan and it was ready to dis- cuss any counter proposals offered by Egypt. Begin said he has "hope" that the peace talks will be resumed. The Premier said the United States now agrees to the necessity for Israel to keep its troops on the West Bank during the five-year proposed self-rule plan by Israel for the West Bank and Gaza would be in effect. He said the U.S. under- stands the troops must be there for Israel's "serious security problem." Begin said he did not know what the status of the troops would be after the five years since that would have to be decided then. In other major appear- ances in New York at the conclusion of his U.S. visit, Begin told some 1,900 guests at a dinner sponsored by the Economic Club that the Carter Administration's proposal to sell war planes to Saudi Arabia, in a sales linkage to Israel and Egypt, would imperil Israel's security. He appealed "to American fairness, as a small country. Let Ameri- can hands not aggravate the danger to that small coun- try which is called Israel, a faithful ally to the United States."

NEW YORK — The Mat- tel Toy Co. has rejected a re- quest by the American Jewish Congress to halt production and distribution in West Germany of models of Stuka dive bombers and other swastika-emblazoned Nazi war models. Julius Schatz, director of the Commission on Jewish Life and Culture of the Con- gress, said he had written to the company in support of efforts by Protestant and Catholic leaders in West Germany demanding that the sale of the toys be stop- Ped. In response, Schatz said, he received a telephone call from Spencer Boyce, vice president of Mattel in Los Angeles, who said the com- pany would continue to pro- duce the toys and sell them in accordance with West German law that permits the swastika to be used in such circumstances. the question and answer period when Begin became involved in an impromptu debate with former Under- secretary of State George Ball who supports the sale of planes to Saudi Arabia and who has urged greater concessions by Israel for peace. Ball, questioning Is- rael's opposition to the sale of planes to Saudi Arabia, said rejection of the sale would under- mine the United States' value as an honest broker "who can bring the con- testing parties together." He also contended that the U.S. could be of value to Israel only if it had the confidence of the Saudis, "a moderate, anti- Communist nation." Dealing with this issue, Begin said it would make Saudi Arabia a confronta- tion state with a strike force of sophisticated weaponry less than a half-hour flying time to Tel Aviv. He also re- called that the Saudis have said repeatedly their forces will be at the disposal of other Arab states in the event of a new war. Addressing a closed meet- ing of the Conference of Presidents of Major Ameri- can Jewish Organizations, and answering questions, the Premier said he had heard reports of erosion in American Jewish support but that he had found in Los Angeles, Chicago and New York a genuine devotion to Israel on the part of the Jewish people and also a deep sentiment for the security of Israel among Christian leaders he had met. Asked whether Jewish dissent from Israel's policies could be equated to treason to the Jewish cause, Begin responded that all Jews have a right to their opin- ions and to express them. But he said that he would ask the dissenters to look to their consciences and ask themselves whether what they said in public would strengthen or weaken those who negotiate for Israel. Begin also reiterated that he found no erosion in the U.S. of public support for his policies. The Premier stuck the same theme in his ad- dress to 1,000 Jewish community leaders at an Israel 30th anniversary celebration sponsored by the United Jewish Appeal-Federation of Jewish Philanthropies Joint Campaign. He said there was "no doubt the friendship of the peoples of America and Is- rael is everlasting." While in New York, Begin was awarded an hon- orary degree by Yeshiva University.

Minor damage was caused to nearby shops. The driver of a bus from downtown Haifa noticed a suspicious-looking parcel. left behind after discharg- ing his passengers at the terminal. The police sapper, responding to his call, re- moved the parcel from the bus and was working on it when the bomb detonated.
