The Cabinet decision opens the way to a treaty signing,, possibly next week in Washington, and then in Cairo and Jerusalem. Egyp- tian Premier Mustafa Khalil was quoted Wednes- day as saying the Washing- ton ceremony might take place next Thursday or Fri- ay. he Cabinet devoted its yen-hour session Wed- nesday solely to the two re- maining issues — the Sinai oil and the "phased with- drawal." There is to be an- other Cabinet session Sun- day on the "treaty package as a whole," aild, presumably, at this session the ministers will have to address themselves to the issue of the nature of the proposed Palestinian au- tonomy. There was a Cabinet decision of some weeks ago to hold a debate on the autonomy before the treaty is signed. Political observers do not expect that such a debate, at this stage, could seriously endanger the progress of the peace process to its final consummation in the three signing cere- monies. Begin on Wednesday re-- fused to answer questions, explaining good-naturedly that he had "got a cold" and had been ordered by his doc tors to go home and rest. Begin's cold was already apparent in his Israeli and U.S. TV interviews Tuesday night. But observers said he seemed in excellent health and spirits despite his clog- ged nasal passages. When Carter left Israel for an unscheduled stop in Egypt on Tuesday before re- turning to the U.S., obser- vers believed that -the President's dramatic Mid- dle East initiative had failed. * * * Knesset Speeches by Carter, Begin Carter and Begin ad- dressed the Knesset Mon- day morning in speeches that proclaimed their un- remitting desire to bring the Israeli-Egyptian peace process to a successful con- clusion. The President said he aluect the "enormous crifices and great risks for peace" that Israel has already made but de- clared, "We have not yet fully met our challenge, despite our unflagging determination . . . We still fall short." He urged Israel to under- take "the somber responsi- bility . . . to contemplate the tragedy of failure and the Whispered diplomacy between President Jimmy Carter and Prime Minister Menahem Begin. legitimate exaltation of making peace." Begin, referring re- peatedly to "serious prob- lems" and "serious issues and difficult problems" that must be solved, stressed that Israel would never compromise its security for a peace treaty that is not "a real peace" and "can be broken." Carter received a warm reception in the Knesset but there was no applause dur- ing his speech. At the outset he told the Knesset that for the past 24 hours, he had been drafting different ver- sions of his speech. "I have discarded the speech of de- spair. I have disCarded the ; speech of glad tidings-and celebration. I have decided to deliver the speech of con- cern and caution and hope," the President said. Begin, who mounted the podium after Carter's address, was subjected to severe heckling from. die-hard members of his own Likud coalition who are opposed to a treaty with Egypt and from left-wing elements. The shouts and cat-calls con- tinued as he delivetred his address and MK Geula Cohen was ejected from the chamber. * * * • Peres Refers to Palestinians Shimon Peres, chairman of the Labor Party, who ad- dressed the Knesset on be- half of the opposition, sur- prised the Chamber and many of his Labor col- leagues when he called for a "positive understanding" with the Palestinian Arabs. Responding- to President Carter, he declared, "We are aware that the_ Egyptian House were installed late last week to allow President Carter and his aides direct and immediate contact with their home base.

The telephone communications between the two capitals first operated during Gush leader Hannan Porat was among the detainees. The demonstrators tried to set up a barrier on the main road to downtown Jerusalem. One of them lunged at the President's limousine and was pulled back by border police. The police used force to disperse the others. , Several hundred mem- bers of the Peace Now movement stood by, appar- ently intending to move against the Gush if the police failed to do so. Meanwhile, 21 Gush leaders who were rounded up by police ear- lier to prevent a threatened anti-Carter demonstration in the heart of the capital, went on a hunger strike in their jail cells. The preventive arrests were prompted by ,an an- nouncement by the Gush last week that they would demonstrate against Carter and try to disrupt his visit. Some Gush tried to close the Tel Aviv-Jerusalem road Saturday to block Carter's motorcade from Ben-Gurion Airport from entering the city. Gush leaders denounced the arrests as "brutal be- havior" on the part of the government and prompted the many outbursts in the Knesset by Likiid MK Geulb.
