• Egyptians, Israelis and
Americans heard President
Carter, Egyptian President
Anwar Sadat and Israeli
Premier Menahem Begin
pledge friendship,to one an-

as
television
cameras flashed the scene
around the world that -
would have been unbeliev-
able even a few weeks ago.
Carter, who- broke prece-
dent by reciting grace be-
fore the dinner, spoke in his
toast of "this joyous occa-
sion" and foresaw "a new
era ahead — an era, we
hope, in which violence no
longer dominates the Mid-

peaceful expression."
But, he cautioned, "to-
night we commemorate not
an end but a beginning —
for a treaty between Egypt
and Israel is but the first
step along the road. We
hope that the Palestinians
and others will soon join us
in our efforts to make this
treaty the cornerstone of a
comprehensive peace." The
President injected "the
Palestinians" extem-
poianeously while reading
from his prepared Temarks.
The evening's only
tense moment occurred
when Sadat in his toast
asserted a position that
he had omitted in his
signing speech. Praising
Carter for "having shown
an unparalleled under-
standing of the Palesti-
nian people," the -Egyp-
tian leader added:
"He is sensitive to their
legitimate call for the eradi-
cation of the injustice that
was inflicted upon them in
the unhappy past. We all
realize their need to be reas-
sured that they will be able
soon to take the first step on
the road to self determina-
tion and statehood. A
dialogue with their repre-
sentatives will be very help-
ful. It would also be consis-
tent with American tradi-
tion. It is with this in mind
that we proceed towards the
completion of this sacred
mission."
Applause broke out from
the Egyptians and others in

the audience. But Begin,
last of the three to speak,
did not challenge the
"statehood" assertion or
engage in peace process
polemics. Instead, cheer-
fully and smilingly, Begin
nominated "Jimmy Carter
as the candidate . . ." Before
he could continue, the crowd
guessing rightly, began to
applaud and,Begin added, "I
did not say a candidate for
what — as a candidate to
receive the Nobel Peace
Prize of 1979."
When the ovation sub-
sided, he evoked the eve-
ning's loudest and most
welcome laughter by add-
ing, "And please, no sharing
of the award." Begin and
Sadat shared the 1978 peace
prize.
But Begin did not stop
there in his compliments.
A moment later he was
again being cheered
when he finished speak-
ing of "the great service
rendered to Israel, Egypt
and to the cause of peace, -
who did so much day and
night, with his inventive
mind and great learning,
the husband of a perfect -
lady — I refer to Secre-
tary of State Cyrus R.
Vance."
Sadat then returned to
the microphones to say of
himself and Begin that "we
seldom come in conformity"
but "i am in full conformity"
with Begin's nomination of
Carter as the man of peace
for 1979." Carter responded
that if the next nine months
of negoti ition are "com-
pletely harmonious" and
meat "all tie requirements"
of the Camp David accords
and the treaty, I might con-
sider accepting their nomi-
nation. Otherwise they
have made their toast in
vain."
(President Carter is one of
50 candidates for this year's
Nobel Prize, it was an-
nounced in Oslo.)
More than 100 of the
dinners consumed Monday
night were kosher, suppli
by a Baltimore caterer at
the White House's request.
Begin was among the
Jewish guests who asked for
a kosher meal. The kosher
meals were similar to the
non-kosher meals prepared
by the White House, but the
wines for the kashrut ob-
servers were from Israel.
Events that preceded and
followed the treaty-signing
ceremonies included:
• The
greatest
enthusiasm in Israel was
shown at post offices
where first-day covers of
a new "peace" stamp
were sold. Based on a
tradition in which pil-
grims to Jerusalem tuck
notes into cracks in the
Western Wall, the stamp
portrays a section of the
wall with a white note in a
niche.
Collectors stampeded
post offices, some of which
closed early when their
supplies ran out. Buyers
waited as long as two hours
for their turn, and there
were some fist fights.
• In Washington, Begin
presented President Carter
with a photo album of the
.
President's recent visit to
Jerusalem. The Premier ac-
cidentally dropped the cover
the box holding the album
01'0
on Carter's, foot but the mis-
hap was greeted- with jokes
and added to the happy at-
mosphere because of the
peace treaty signing cere-
mony later in the day.
Foreign Minister Moshe
Dayan pointed to the clear
blue skies outside after
Sunday's rain and told Car-
ter, "I knew you could ar-
range everything."
• Carter's recent trip to
Israel increased his reliabi
ity in the eyes of Israeli
Seventy-four percent of the
respondents to a survey
noted that they trust Car-
ter's policy concerning Is-
rael, as compared to only 33
percent who- responded
favorably during February.
• The United Israel
Appeal of South Africa
held a special "Day for
Peace for Israel" Wed-
nesday.
• President
- Carter,
speaking to the convention
of the National Association
of Broadcasters in Dallas,
said he wondered if the
people of Israel and Egypt
would have been as ready to
accept peace with each
other "if they had not been
able to see each other's faces
on television or hear each
other's voices on radio."
• Some 400 demon-
strators gathered Sunday in
downtown Jerusalem, ask-
ing that the government
devote as much effort to so-
cial peace inside the country
as to achieving peace with
Egypt.
• As demonstrators in
Lafayette Park shouted
"Down with Sadat" during
the peace treaty signing on
Monday, a group of children
and teenagers rolled out a
big bedsheet and held it
aloft. It read: "Carter, Be-
gin, Sadat. Peace Be With
You. Highland Park, Ill."
Nearby, Ellen and Paul
Clough, two high school
teachers from Detroit,
shared a pair of binoculars
to peer into the White
House grounds. "I just
wanted to be able to tell our
two small children that we
were here when history was
made," said Mrs.--Clough,
picking up the binoculars.
Israelis Predict
Real Peace in
One Year: Poll
TEL AVIV (JTA) —
majority of Israelis belie
that true peace between Is-
rael and Egypt can be
achieved within the coming
year and almost the same
majority believe Egyptian
President Anwar Sadat is
really and truly interested
in peace.
A public opinion poll ar-
ranged for Yediot Achronot
shows, however, that 64
percent of those polled noted
that they believe the U.S. is
encouraging the establish-
ment of a Palestinian state,
and 89 percent agree that a .
Palestinian state will con-
stitute a threat to Israel's
security.
