The issue will be submitted to "conciliation . . . or arbitration" as pro- vided for under Article 7 of the Egyptian-Israeli peace treaty. The U.S. will join Is- rael and Egypt in talks to decide precisely how that dispute resolution process will be applied.

Taba itself is an area of only a few kilometers and the other disputed ter- ritories are even smaller. A solid commitment by President Reagan to the Camp David peace process and the autonomy negotia- tions and his personal appreciation of the "sac- rifices" Israel has made by returning Sinai to Egypt were major-,factors in per- suading the government to complete the withdrawal from Sinai last Sunday, it was disclosed. The text of the letter Reagan sent to Begin ,-n April 20, while the Cabinet was deliberating over the withdrawal, was released. Although it contained no new commitments, the Is- raelis were pleased to have a reiteration of past Ameri- can pledges to Israel, par- ticularly the endorsement of the Camp David accords and the autonomy scheme from a President who had no part in negotiating those accords. On Sunday, President Reagan issued a public statement commending Is- rael for its courage and sac- rifice in returning the Sinai to Egypt. He said the with- drawal from Sinai marks the beginning of a new era in peaceful relations be- tween Israel and Egypt. United Nations Secretary 1 General Javier Perez de Cuellar called the Israeli withdrawal a "significant and constructive develop- ment." Prime Minister Begin wrote letters of thanks to Sharon and Army Chief- of-Staff Raphael Eitan for the manner in which the withdrawal was carried out. He also wrote Jehan Sadat, widow of Egyptian President Anwar Sadat, re- calling her late husband's role in bringing the day to ■ pass. interim agreement at last Sunday's Cabinet session and had high praise for the American role both in this instance and throughout the peace process itself, which he said had been beneficial for Israel. Begin won the support of the Cabinet majority against strenuous opposi- tion from Defense Minister Ariel Sharon who objected because the interim agree- ment established a prece- dent for an American role in negotiating other border disputes with Egypt. Both sides won points. Israel's most important achievement was a clause in the interim agreement stipulating that "activities which have been conducted" in the disputed area until now may be continued pending conciliation or arbitration. That means that the large hotel and resort complex under construction on the Taba beach can be completed. The Egyptians won, a clause forbidding any "new construction" at Taba. Is- raeli sources said the Egyp- tians apparently feared that anti-withdrawal die-hards might infiltrate the Taba region during the interim or we me m scone--e.

Levin Lauds Peace Process In a speech on the Senate floor on Monday, U.S. Sena- tor Carl Levin (D-Mich.) lauded Israel for its with- drawal from the Sinai. He said that "Victors do not normally leave the territory they have taken — especially when that ter tory has become home thousands of its people, and when that territory con- tains significant natural re- sources, and when that territory bears signs of physical improvements paid for by that nation, and when that territory serves as a natural defensive bar- rier to possible aggression." Levin lauded both Israel and Egypt, as well as U.S. diplomacy for helping to bring about the peace proc- ess in the Middle East. THE SMART CHARTER TO LAS VEGAS H.M.H. & F. 557-5145 Lelyveld Criticizes Reagan GROSSINGER, N.Y. (JTA) — The Reagan Ad- minigtration's domestic and foreign policies are an at- tempt to "turn the clock back" to the days protrayed by the late John Wayne and his Western movies, but they are contrary to Ameri- can and Jewish values of mutual aid and compassion, the American Jewish Con- gress was told. Rabbi Arthur Lelyveld of Cleveland, a former president of AJCongress, told more than 300 dele- gates to the organization's national biennial conven- tion in New York that cur- rent White House policies were characterized by "rug- ged selfishness" and , "rifeanness." He called the approach "antithetical to our found- ing vision and our basic Jewish values." In a sweeping criticism of the Administration, Lelyveld charged in a convention keynote ad- dress that the President's program sought to "gut" the civil rights program, "pillage" natural re- sources and "subvert" existing environmental agencies by staffing them with appointees whose goal has been to oppose the principles and pur- poses of the agencies they head. He also said the Adminis- tration was "chipping away" at the wall of separa- E thnic Incomes NEW YORK (ZINS) — A black economist at Stanford University, Thomas Sawell, believes that American Jews have done the best economically of all U.S. minority groups.
