In a solemn ceremony on the front lawn of the White House, Egyptian President Anwar Sadat and Israeli Prime Minister Menachem Begin put their names to Arabic, Hebrew and English copies of a treaty promising mutual recognition, respect, and peace. "PEACE HAS come," declared a beaming President Carter, whose per- sonal intervention brought the talks back to life after they had stalemated on the details. Carter quoted the Bible and the Koran, and he offered a personal prayer that Arabs and Jews may one day be brothers. Sadat, replying, declared, "Let there be no more bloodshed between Arabs and Israelis. "LET US WORK together until the day comes when they beat their swords into plowshares and their spears into pruning hooks," the Egyptian said. Carter quoted the same words from Isaiah. "No more war," agreed Begin. "No more bloodshed. Peace unto you. Shalom, salaam, forever. "SHALOM" MEANS "peace" in Hebrew. "Salaam" means "peace" in Arabic. Begin put on a skullcap and quoted Psalm 126 in Hebrew. He said rather than translate, he would let everyone find the words in his own language in "the book of books." Outside the White House gates, 1,000 protesters, supporters of Palestinians, shouted their opposition, charging Sadat had betrayed their cause by making a separate peace with the Jewish state. "The Shah is Gone, Sadat is Next," their placards read, and "Palestine Is Not For Sale." SADAT AND Begin signed, dramatically, on the windy lawn, after 30 years of hostility and four wars bet- ween their nations and after 15 months of American-sponsored negotiations. Then Carter added his signature, a satisfied witness. Thus, on a chilly sun-filled spring af- ternoon, with 1,600 witnesses waving the flags of the three nations, a Moslem', a Jew and a Christian joined in solem= nizing their handiwork. THEY HOPED their act would lead to a permanent peace throughout the Middle-East, a task threatening to be even more difficult than this hard first step. After signing, the three grasped each other in a three-way handshake. Carter said softly, "I'm so proud of both of you."

COULD GO UP 29 PER CENT: From Reuter * ISRAELI WITHDRAWAL: Two months after the treaty takes effect, Israeli troops will withdraw from El Arish, the Sinai ad- ministrative capital. Within seven months, it will give up Sinai oilfields at Alma. Nine months after it takes effect, Israel will withdraw from about two- thirds of the Sinai Peninsula to a point east of a line running from El Arish to Ras Muhammad at the southernmost tip of Sinai, including the Refidim air base. " DIPLOMATIC RELATIONS: One month after Israel completes the interim withdrawal, Egypt and Israel will exchange resident am- bassadors, signifying establishment of normal relations. Egypt will end the economic boycott of Israel and negotiate the establishment of trade, cultural, consular and other relations, Egypt agrees to sell Israel oil from Sinai wells under the same terms as to any other bidder. * THE PALESTINIAN ISSUE: Reaffirming their commitment at the Camp David summit to a com- prehensive Middle East peace, Israel and Egypt agree to open negotiations for Palestinian self-rule on the West Bank and Gaza one mon- th after the treaty comes into effect. The negotiations are to end within one year and elections of Palestinian local councils, the first step toward self-government, are to be held "as expeditiously as possible." e U.S. ASSURANCES AND AID: The United States agrees in a letter attached to the treaty to tale any ac- tion "it may deem appropriate and helpful to achieve compliance with the treaty." OPEC may raise o From AP and Reuter GENEVA - The ministers of the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC) failed late last night in Switzerland to reach agreement on oil price increases. Sources here say they expect the increase to be con-' siderable, however, and an Iranian delegate said his nation would favor a 29 per cent price hike. A count of delegates filing into the meeting showed 11 of the 13 ministers favoring a major price increase that would send prices in this country spiraling. If approved, such an increase would come on top of the gradual rise set for this year by OPEC last December. THE TALKS by the ministers of OPEC were originally designed to be- simply consultative discussions about the state of the oil market following shortages caused by the slowdown in Iran's production. But after the talks began, a move was made to change the meeting into an "extraordinary conference" which, OPEC sources said, would allow the ministers to take a decision on prices. But Venezuelan Oil Minister Hum- berto Calderon said the favored for- ii rices mula appeared to be for a rise to the level already decided for the fourth quarter of this year - 14.542 dollars a barrel. THIS WOULD mean a further five per cent on the official price due to come into force on April 1, and a general approval of a 1.20 dollar surcharge already charged by many OPEC states on the world market. Saudi Arabian Oil Minister Ahmed Zaki Yamani told reporters that his country would do its best to resist pressures to increase the price of a standard barrel of OPEC oil. U U Jewish students celeb Health official blasts planners By JOHN GOYER A high official of the area planning agency involved in approving plans for a new University Hospital yesterday called the University's plea for special consideration "absurd." Robert Christiansen, chief of the staff of evaluators for the Comprehensive Health Planning Council of South Eastern Michigan (CHPC-SEM), rejec- ted the University's claims of needing special treatment in the agency's evaluation because of its unique stan- ding within the state. He said CHPC has used the same set of criteria to suc- cessfully evaluate plans for other large, specialized care hospitals similar to U Hospital. THE COUNCIL reviews plans for replacement or renovation of hospitals in this area, and it is currently reviewing the University's plans for building a new $244 million hospital to replace the Old Main Hospital. A Washtenaw County sub-council of the larger CHPC-SEM has already ap- proved plans for the new hospital, although the council's staff members criticized the plans. The full CHPC will review the University's plans this afternoon in Detroit, and an executive committee will in turn make its recommendation to the state on April 10. The state's Department of Public Health will then decide whether to grant the University the certificate of need required to build the new hospital. THE UNIVERSITY maintains that a large, specialized care hospital attracts patients statewide, and that it is an in- dispensible part of the University's high quality medical training programs. For these two reasons, University planners say the new hospital will be a state resource, and should not be evaluated on a regional basis. Christiansen also said the regional planning agency had not been given enough time to evaluate plans for the new hospital. At last Thursday's meeting, the University refused to wait for 90 days before pressing its ap- plication for the certificate of need. Hospital director Jeptha Dalston said the University could not wait because each month the project is delayed would add $2 million to its cost. CHRISTIANSEN SAID that as far as he knew, the University had not asked CHPC staff members to sit in on its planning meetings as observers, as they have done for other projects. He said he would question "how much of the total community" has been in- volved in planning the new hospital. As a result, he said, his agency now has no way of knowing what alter- natives the University considered while planning the new hospital, nor did the agency know why these plans were discarded. Christiansen said that although the agency's staff had criticized the plans for the new hospital, it is unlikely that the agency's executive council would recommend that the state deny the University a certificate of need. rate peace By ALISON HIRSCHEL and STEVEN SHAER The signing of the peace treaty bet- ween Israel and Egypt yesterday after- noon was cause for a joyous celebration by nearly 100 students and commun~ity members later in the day in Alice Lloyd's Blue Lounge. Billed as a "peace party," the gathering was intended to be "an in- timate meeting of all peace lovers," according to graduate student Sara Glaser, a member of the Israeli Student Organization, one of the sponsors of the event. BEFORE THE dancing and singing commenced, Glaser raised her wine glass in a toast to peace, first in Hebrew, then in English. Some of the Jews present said they regretted the absence of any Arab participants who could have given a toast in Arabic. "We invited everybody to this party," said Uriel Rauff, director of the Zionist Youth group Hacomer Hazzair. "The Organization of Arab Students was con- tacted to invite Arab students to this event." At least one Arab did attend the festivities later on. Medhat Credi, a graduate student in Near Eastern studies from Egypt said, "I am happy, very happy about the peace treaty. I would have been happier if it was a comprehensive peace."

Judge bans publication of hydrogen bomb article Daily photo by DAN OBERDORFER JEWISH CHILDREN DANCE the Hora last night at Alice Lloyd Hall in celebration of the signing of the peace treaty between Israel and Egypt. From AP and Reuter MILWAUKEE - A federal judge yesterday issued a landmark decision banning publication of an article telling how, the hydrogen bombworks. In the ruling, the first time a U.S. court has in effect censored the press, Judge Robert Warren held that the duty of the government to protect national security transcen- ded the constitutional rights of a free press. Judge Warren issued his ruling af- formation in the article was readily available and that the article was about secrecy in the nuclear weapons industry, not about the making of a bomb. Lawyers for the magazine - which is published from the Wiscon- sin state capital of Madison with about 40,000 circulation - said they would appeal the decision.
