Both sides at the Zimbabwe Rhodesia
peace talks accepted Britain's plan for
interim administration yesterday,
raising hopes for a final agreement
within two weeks to end the war that
ravages the country.
The peace talks now move to the final
stage - cease fire negotiations.
White House press secretary Jody,
Powell said the, British government
deserved "tremendous credit" for what
had been accomplished in the London
talks.
FOREIGN SECRETARY Lord
Carrington, the conference .chairman,
said he was "delighted" by the
agreement, extract-d after weeks of
hard bargaining and thinly veiled.
British threats to recognize Prime
Minister Abel Muzorewa's embattled
administration if the guerrilla alliance
persisted in its objections.
Twenty-four hours of intense com-
munication culminated in a' crucial
meeting of all parties yesterday mor-
ning, a day after Carrington's last
deadline for guerrilla acceptance ex-
pired.
Britain amended its original plan to
specify that the Patriotic Front
guerrillas would, like government
troops, come under direct authority of
the proposed British governor during
the cease-fire.
Front spokesmen told a news con-
Isael adopts plan
that will increase
ference the British move satisfied their
demand for equal status between their
estimated 20,000 guerrillas fighting
across the country, and the white-led
government army of 12,000 mostly
black soldiers.
"A NEW HOPE, a new dawn, now
will shine on our people," Front
spokesman Eddison Zvobgo declared.
"Once the governor arrives there will
be no terrorists. We will be legal for-
ces."
The British amendment came after
Zambian President Kenneth Kaunda,
one of the Front's key African backers,
intervened last weekend in the
deadlocked talks. The negotiations are
in their 10th week.
A Zambian spokesman yesterday
paid tribute to the Patriotic Front
guerrilla organization for its deter-
mination in achieving "genuine in-
dependence" for the people of Zimbab-
we Rhodesia.
Reacting to the agreement reached
yesterday at the peace talks, the
Foreign Ministry spokesman said the
announcement caused joy and relief in
his country.
,YESTERDAY'S agreement raises
the first real prospect of peace and an
internationally acceptable black
government for Zimbabwe Rhodesia.

West Bank.
By The Associated Press
Israel adopted a settlement plan for
the occupied West Bank of the Jordan
River yesterday that would more than
triple the Jewish population there in the
next year.
The plan envisioned continued ex-
pansion of Jewish settlements for at
least three years - beyond the
scheduled start of Palestinian self-rule
in the West Bank and Gaza Strip.
Washington has said Israeli settlemen-
ts in the West Bank are illegal under in-
ternational law and are obstacles in the
drive for a solution of the Palestinian
issue.
Meanwhile, Israel ended its 12-year
occupation of Mount Sinai yesterday
and returned it to Egypt, whose soldiers
Hoisted their black-white-red flag near
the mountain where Moses is said to
have received the Ten Commandments.
IN CEREMONIES at an airstrip
within view of the 2,285-foot peak,
Israeli soldiers pulled down the Star of
David banner two months ahead of
schedule at the special request of Egyp-
tian President Anwar Sadat.
It was the fourth of a six-phase Israeli
pullout that will leave Egypt with con-
trol of two-thirds of the desert peninsula
settlement
by Jan. 25. Egypt, which lost the lands
in the 1967 Mideast War, is to regain
them by 1982 under terms of the peace
treaty signed in March.
Prime Minister Menachem Begin,
meanwhile, met with leaders of the
Elon Moreh settlement to try to per-
suade them to evacuate their outpost,
which the Supreme Court has ruled was
built on illegally seized Arab land.
The settlers so far have- refused to
move by the Nov. 22 deadline the court
set. But Cabinet Secretary Arieh Naor
reaffirmed the government's deter-
mination to move the settlers to another
nearby site.
PUBLICATION OF the plan, the first
master plan ever officially adopted by
an Israeli Cabinet, was certain to ignite
unrest in the West Bank, where
Palestinians already are furious over
the expected deportation of the
nationalist Arab mayor of Nablus.
A government statement reporting
the Cabinet committee's decision said
the plan called for 10,000 to 15,000 new
housing units per year.
Deputy Defense Minister Mordechai
Zippori said the aim of the plan was to
"triple and even more" the number of
Jews - now 14,000 - living in more
than 50 West Bank settlements.
UMWpresident to
resign due to health
WASHINGTON (AP) - The United
Mine Workers' (UMW) ailing and con-
troversial president, Arnold Miller, has
agreed to step down and turn the union
oyer to Vice President Sam Church,
sources reported yesterday.
One source said Miller, 56,
hospitalized for a second heart attack,
would be voted president emeritus and
Church elected president at the union's
executive board meeting today.
THE NON-UNION source with close
ties to UMW officials said Miller told
friends he had decided to step down
because of failing health. A source on
the union's executive board, who also
asked not to be identified, confirmed
that Miller would become president
emeritus. i
Miller, listed in satisfactory condition
at a Charleston, W. Va. hospital, could
not be reached for comment. Church
also could not be reached for comment.
Miller, who rode the wave of a union
reform movement into the presidency
of the 220,000-member UMW in 1972,
has been the focus of months of intense
debate by executive board members
over whether he was fit to run the
union.
THE WEST Virginia native suffered
what doctors called a "mild" heart at-
tack on Monday while hunting; forcing
his third hospitalization in two months.
Miller has been in poor health for
many years. But his problems wor-
sened in April 1978 when he suffered a
slight stroke and then a heart attack
just days after completing grueling
contract negotiations to end a 3%-
month nationwide coal strike.
He limps slightly because of the
stroke and the spinal arthritis he
acquired during more than 20 years in
West Virginia's coal mines. Black lung
and cigarettes have left him with a
racking cough.
With a crucial constitutional conven-
tion coming up next month in Denver,
there has been growing alarm in the
union's leadership about Miller's
frequent absences from UMW
headquarters in Washington.
