Summit Meeting for Peace Plan
Received Favorably by Senators
(Continued from Page 1)
resented the foreign minis-
ter's own views, not neces-
sarily the whole govern-
ment's. Now however,
Dayan made his pro-
nouncement after clear
cabinet endorsement — and
Begin has subsequently re-
echoed them.
- Vance will now seek to
secure from Israel a specific
commitment not just to dis-
cuss these issues, but to be
prepared to renounce
sovereignty and control
over parts of the West Bank.
Begin, in announcing his
acceptance of Carter's invi-
tation to join with Carter
and Sadat at the summit
conference, denied rumors
that Israel had made any
change in its negotiating
position. He also denied
that Vance had asked Israel
to change its position when
the secretary held his talks
with Israeli leaders last
weekend.
Sadat, in making his
announcement of accept-
ing Carter's invitation,
fielded reporters' ques-
tions as to whether Israel
had changed its stand
enough to justify his
meeting Begin. Asked
whether he had received
any private assurance
from Washington to
prompt him to attend the
summit, Sadat said "All I
ask in Camp David is that
President Carter on be-
half of the United States
acts as a full partner.
Whenever I am assured
of this, I shall always
answer any invitation
from President Carter."
Sadat also called on all
sides to let bygones be
bygones. The summit "is in
my opinion an new page.
Let us not look back," he
said.
Prior to the White House
announcement of the trilat-
eral meeting, President
Carter disclosed his initia-
tive to leaders of the House
and Senate. Afterwards,
those meeting with repor-
ters praised the President
for his action which was de-
scribed as "a gamble" and
the best chance for progress
toward peace.
Sen. Frank Church (13-
Idaho), who will head the
Senate Foreign Relations
Committee in January said
"it may well be the last best
hope for peace in the Middle
East. Sadat and Begin have
indicated willingness to
have another go at it and
President Carter is to be
commended for his initia-
tive and determination in
getting the talks going
again.
Sen. Jacob K. Javits
(R-N.Y.) said that he be-
lieves the President is
doing the right thing to
have Sadat and Begin
confer with him "quietly"
at Camp David. He said it
was a "gamble" in trying
"to find some ground on
which progress can be
made." Javits said that
the trilateral meeting
means that the "United
States has not fallen for
the idea of a peace plan of
its own which would be a
disaster or a prelude to
disaster."
Sen. Alan Cranston (D-
Calif.) the assistant Senate
Democratic leader, warned
that the camp meeting
would not necessarily result
in a significant break-
through and that he did not
expect Israel and Egypt will
sign a peace agreement in
the near future. Cranston
said he felt Carter would not
offer a peace plan, but would
act as a mediator and that
his "formula is to get people
together."
The assistant House
leader, John Brademas W-
ind.) said Carter should
have the support of all
Americans, saying that
without "such leadership
from the United States the
prospects for peace would be
very bleak."
Sen. Richard Stone
(D-Fla.), the Senate
Foreign Relations Middle
East subcommittee
chairman, said he was
"optimistic" over the
trilateral meeting.
Meanwhile, Time
magazine reported that the
peace initiative launched
last year by Sadat came
after Israeli intelligence
secretly warned Egypt of an
Arab extremist plot to over-
throw the Cairo govern.
ment.
The report said the Mos-
sad, the Israeli intelligence
service, learned in July
1977 that leftist Arab ex-
tremists were plotting to
overthrow the governments
of Egypt, Sudan and Saudi
Arabia.
The magazine also said
the Sadat's trip to Israel last
November also followed a
promise by Israeli Foreign
Minister Moshe Dayan that
Israel was ready to make
"generous compromises" in
a peace formula.
Time said the Dayan
statement came in a
series of talks with the
leaders of Jordan, Iran
and Morocco and with
Egyptian officials. Dayan
evidently "promised far
more than Begin was
prepared to deliver."
said the proper role of the
United States in the
Mideast should be "to bring
the parties together — not
to favor one side over the
other or impose its own sol-
ution."
Meanwhile, U.S. Am-
bassador to Israel
Samuel Lewis told sev-
eral members of Vice
President Walter Mon-
dale's mission to Israel
when they were theere on
the July 4 weekend that
"Menahem Begin is the
best chance for peace in
the Middle East."
In Washington, Sen.
Jacob K. Javits (R-N.Y.)
said that Secretary Vance's
upcoming trip to Israel and
Egypt should have been
cancelled and Ambassador
Alfred Atherton should
have been recalled from the
Middle East after Egyptian
President Sadat's speech re-
jecting further talks with
Israel.
In a related development,
the United States insisted
that Saudi Arabia "remains
committed to the peace pro-
cess in the Middle East as
we have always said," but it
refused to say on what basis
it continues to hold this
view.
Department
State
spokesman Hodding
Carter, under sharp
questioning about the be-
lief that the Saudis in-
duced Egypt to issue its
demand that Israel with-
draw completely from all
areas taken in the Six-
Day War, declared to re-
proters that the U.S. posi-
tion of last spring about
Saudi Arabia being in
support of the peace pro-
cess "is still a valid argu-
ment."
In Washington, Congress
is demanding a tougher
U.S. position towards Syria
and Saudi Arabia.
Jewish Orphans
Reunion Planned
CHICAGO — The first
reunion of the Chicago
Home for Jewish Orphans,
since closing 35 years ago,
will be held Sept. 3 at the
Max Dolnick Cultural
Center in Chicago. A
nationwide search for
former residents, called
"home kids" or "Aitchkays,"
is under way. Staff mem-
bers and others associated
with the home are also in-
vited.
Those attending are
urged to bring old scrap-
books and mementos.
The Chicago Home for
Jewish Orphans was
founded about 1893 and
soon became an agency of
the predecessor of today's
Jewish Federation of Met-
ropolitan Chicago. The
home housed boys and girls
from age 4 to 18 years.

In New York, Theodore R.
Mann, the newly elected
chairman of the Conference
of Presidents of Major
American Jewish Organi-
zations, declared that the
Carter Administration will
make "a serious error" if it
pressed Israel now to make
concessions to Egypt in view
of the impasse in negotia-
tions between the two coun-
tries.
Mann charged President
Sadat of Egypt with respon-
sibility for the present dead-
lock in the Mideast peace
negotiations.
He said that President
Carter must insist now that
Egypt resume negotiations
with Israel, since it was
Sadat who broke off the
talks between the two coun-
