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.

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.
