Sadat halts peace talks (Continued from Page 1) emergency session of the Peoples' Assembly, Egypt's parliament, for Sat- urday to "place before the representa- tives of the people all the facts of the situation." It was from that same rostrum that Sadat launched the historic quest for peace that brough him to Jerusalem Nov. 19 for a first dramatic meeting with leaders of the nation his country fought in four wars. THAT MEETING led to another bet- ween Sadat and Prime Minister Menahem Begin on Christmas day at Ismailia, Egypt. Unable to reach a breakthrough in matters of substance, Sadat and Begin arranged the political conference in Jerusalem and parallel military talks in Cairo. The first session of the military talks adjourned last week to await develop- ments of the Jerusalem talks. They were scheduled to .resume today but Israeli television reported the talks ap- parenty will be postponed. Kamel left the hotel at 9:15 p.m. (2:15 p.m. EST) and climbed into a black limousine for the ride to Israel's Ben Gurion airport, where the Egyptian jet waited to take him home. ALI HAMDY EL GAMMAL, editor of the semi-official Egyptian news- paper Al Ahram, told reporters when demands that Israel pull back to its pre-1967 war borders and give the Palestinians self-determination.

He praised the concept. of self-determination, but said Arabs "have self-determination in 21 sover- eign Arab states." . Begin went on to compare Palestin- ian self-government with Hitler's expansionist policies during the 1930's. KAMEL, TAKEN aback by his host's injection of politics into what had been billed as relaxed social event, gave a cool response, stating again the basic elements Egypt considers required for peace - Israeli withdrawal from all lands occupied in the 1967 Middle East war and statehood for the Palestinians. When the talks convened Tuesday morning, Kamel startled Israelis with his unwavering restatement of Egyptian peace terms. Some Israeli officials said they had hoped Egyptian negotiators would be THE EGYPTIAN information min- ister said the Israelis had kept the talks "fluid," moving them "into side issues. . . not up for discussion so as to make the negotiations become en- grossed in obscure and vague ques- tions." The second day of negotiatiom opened with closed-door sessions it which Vance attempted to reac separate compromises with Kame and Israeli Foreign Minister Moshe Dayan. An Israeli source had reported nc progress in bridging gaps built uf over three decades of hostilities. THE STATE Department spokes man, offering a brighter note, said: "We are making progress." There is "no crisis, no deadlock, no break- down." An hour later, Sadat made his dra- matic announcement. The Egyptian President had beer growing increasingly pessimistic of the direction of the talks. In a week- end interview he said there was nc chance Israel and Egypt could agree on a declaration of principles for peace. HIS GLOOMY prognosis was un- derlined by a dispute over an agenda for the talks that threatened to abort them before they began. Under last-minute pressure from Vance, Israel andaEgypt forged a compromise agenda that skimmed over areas of basic disagreement, leaving them for later talks. r -GVV 1-1 4- - direction. Dr. Paul C.

I AHMED, a member of the Organi- zation of Arab Students, said most Arab students here feel that the break in negotiations is "a technical bluff on the part of Sadat to pressure the Americans to pressure the Is- raelis to make more concessions." In addition, Ahmed said, Sadat is trying ti "assuage Arab critics and gain back some lost prestige." Added Ahmed: "Maybe he's hop- ing that after this show of force, the concessions will seem less harsh." JOHN DIRECTOR* coordinator for the Student Union for Progressive Judaism, said, "I'm disappointed and a little bit surprised." Director feels Israel could have been more flexible. "I'm hoping that Sadat thinks this maneuver may force Israel to come back to the peace table with something he believes is more negotiable," he said. Despite yesterday's development, Director is optimistic that the peace talks will continue. "Peace is imper- ative," he said. County deputy cleare of assault4 By R. J. SMITH A deputy with the Washtenaw sheriff's department was acquitted yesterday in Ann Arbor 15th District Courtofyassault chargesstemming from an incident that occurred last October. Fred Hollifield and Deputy George Chapman, who was acquitted Tues- day, were charged in connection with a road-side dispute involving two Ann Arbor residents, Charles Gray and Richard Benzinger. IT ALL started when Gray's car stalled at the intersection of Stadium and Packard at 3 p.m. October 2. Benzinger, driving behind Gray, got out to help him. At this point, charges Hollifield and Chapman arrived on the scene. According to Hollifield's attorney, JohnBarr,ethe defendants say they honked their horn as the light changed and Hollifield got out of the car. Gray, they say, made an obscene gesture to the deputies, and began talking very heatedly. Tem- pers flared, and Gray struck Holli- field. Barr said Gray and Benzinger claimed that the deputies honked their horn, Hollifield walked from the car and punched Gray, breaking his glasses. Hollifield was taken to the hospital after the fight, and both Gray and Benzinger reported injuries.
