Sadat's message, which
observers in Oslo found
harsher in tone than
what had been expected,
twice mentioned the
Palestinians and their
problem. Sadat's mes-
sage said that the "goal
(of the peace treaty) is to
bring security to all the
peoples of the area and to
the Palestinians in par-
ticular,'restoring to theni
all their rights to a life of
liberty and dignity."
The Israeli premier in his
address stressed repeatedly
Israel's deep set desire for
peace. He said "at Camp
David, despite all the dif-
ferences, we found solutions
for problems, agreed on is-
sues and the framework for
peace was signed. The path
leading to peace was
paved."
The Israeli premier first
paid tribute to the memory
of Golda Meir and stressed
that "she strove with all her
heart to achieve peace be-
tween Israel and her
neighbors." The audience,
which included King Olav
V, Crown Prince Harald,
and the Norwegian Prime
Minister, rose to their feet

'I,
for a minute of silence in
tribute to the late Premier.
Begin also recalled the
plight of Soviet Jewry,
which he stressed "now
wants to go home — home to
Israel." In the audience sat,
as the premier's personal
guest, Soviet activist Silva
Zalmanson.
The actual ceremony
took place in a 13th Cen-
tury Norwegian fortress
atop a wind-swept hill
overlooking the icy
waters of Oslo fjord. In
spite of the nature of the
award, peace, the Aker-
shus castle compound
looked like a besieged
camp with hundreds of
soldiers and police man-
ning the castle's walls,
heliocopters hovering
overhead and gun boats
training their cannons on
the castle from the sea.
Some of the Norwegian
guests, less than 100,
walked up to the hill along a
snow covered path. The Is-
raeli and Egyptian parties
came for security reasons in
police guarded buses and
cars. _ Begin and his wife,
Aliza, who were staying at
the Royal Castle as the
king's personal guests, were
flown by heliocopter to the
castle.
Begin was the first to be
called to the rostrum to re-
ceive the diploma, the Peace
Gold Medal and the approx-
imately $175,000 check —
half the prize's amount.
Begin has announced that
he will donate the money to
a special fund to be set up for
retarded children. Sadat
has said that he will use the
money for the development
of his native village in the
Nile valley.
The premier smiled
broadly as he was handed
his diploma. Saturday he
told the JTA that the day of
the award "will be the third
happiest in my life — after
those of Israel's creation
axd the reunification of
Jerusalem." After the
ceremony_he told reporters
and friends, "It was a mar-
velous moment — the
recognition of Israel's desire
for peace."
Outside the university
building in central Oslo,
where the award pre-
sentation is usually held,
400 - pro-Palestinian
demonstrators and some
60 Norwegians protested
against this year's
awards.
Norwegians
Most
seemed, however, to take
only a mild interest in
both the ceremony, re-
layed over Scandinavian
television channels, and
the demonstrations.
Last Friday Mrs. Begin lit

Andrei Sakharov Documents
Stance Against Oppression
Andrei Sakharov was
never silent in time of alarm
and crisis. Neither does he
give up hope for an end to
the suppressions in Russia
which he constantly con-
demns.
In "Alarm and Hope"
(Knopf), the eminent Nobel
Prize winning- nuclear
physicist presents his views*
on dissidents, seekers of
emigration certificates to
Israel, objectors to KGB
practices and many demon-

candles in their suite at the
Royal Palace. The Premier
and Mrs. Begin, their
daughter and son-in-law
then joined the king and the
crown prince for the tradi-
tional Sabbath eve dinner.
A special huge halla had
been brought from Israel for
the occasion, but kidush
was not said as Israeli wines
were notavailable.
Begin explained to the
King the meaning of the
kidush and the importance
of the Friday ni
blessings. During two ho
of conversation between thy,
king and the Israeli party,
Begin told the king that Is-
rael and Jews all over the
world felt "deep admira- .
tion" for Norway's war-time
resistance to the Nazi occu-
The king's welcome
has been above all possible

strations against to-
talitarianism in which he
remains active.
The Sakharov papers, his
letters, the record appear-
ing in "Alarm and Hope,"
were translated by Efrem
Yankelevich, his son-in-
law, who now resides in the
United States, and Alfred
Friendly Jr.
Every aspect in the ac-
tivities of the noted
physicist appears in this
volume, including Dr.
Sakharov's defense of Is-
rael to which he had ap-
pended an appeal for
recognition of Palesti-
nian rights. In the main
he is the courageous de-
fender of the rights of
Jews to emigrate from
the Soviet Union.
- Especially noteworth
the inclusion in this
the exchange of corre-
spondence between
Sakharov and President
Jimmy Carter in which
President Carter asserted
that "human rights are the
essential concern of my ad-
ministration." Thus, this
volume emerges as a power-
ful document in support of
the dissidents, in protest
against totalitarianism, as
a demand for justice for
Jews seeking new homes
and for non-Jews objecting
to the discriminations in the
USSR
