There had been reports that some Administration officials expressed unhap- piness over the announce- ment- of the resumed au- tonomy talks because the U.S., which is a partner in the talks, was not notified in advance. But Haig at his press conference gave no indication that this was the case. The , Secretary of State said he was also pleased by the announcement of the conclusion of the summit that Egypt and Israel were establishing committees to oversee Israel's final with- drawal from Sinai next Ap- ril. In Tel Aviv, Foreign Minister Yitzhak Shamir said that Premier Begin's autonomy plan is the only path to peace and Israel will wait until the idea is accepted by the Palesti- nians. But a wide cross-section of West Bank Arab leaders virtually unanimously re- jected it in weekend radio interviews. Meanwhile, Egypt has agreed that Israel will re- move all equipment from airfields it is to evacuate in the Sinai by next April but leave the infrastructure in- tact, according to Defense Minister Ariel Sharon. ' Sharon stayed on in Egypt for an additional day, after Premier Begin and his party had left, for additional talks on the Israel's with- drawal from Sinai. He said he and Egyptian ministers and officials had worked out general policy lines on ex- tending of normal relations between the two countries. Committees are to be named and meet alter- nately in Israel and Egypt to discuss details concern- ing border problems, includ- ing civil aviation, police and customs cooperation, and communications. Menuhin Fund for Czechs Yehudi Menuhin, writ- ing from his London home, has expressed his support of the fund in memory of his late sister, stating he was "glad to think that-people in dis- tress will continue to be helped in Hephzibah's name, for that is what she would have wished." She was a pianist and social' worker. The Czec.hoslovak Jewish Aid Trust, 12-13 Henrietta St., London WC2E 8LH, is appealing for additional funds.
