Page 10-Wednesday, February 8, 1978-The Michigan Daily Sadat pledges to 'raise hell'if denied weapons Coni ad thsnt aercm - - --- ~ WASHINGTON (AP) - Egyptian President Anwar Sadat told mem- bers of Congress yesterday that he will not be shy in asking for U.S. weapons, adding that, "I shall raise hel)" if Congress does not approve them. Although the comment was made with a laugh after a meeting with members of the House of Represen- tatives, he seemed more somber as he emerged later from a similar session with a Senate group. "I THREATENED them," Sadat said after his closed door talks with the senators. He refused to detail his request for arms following yesterday's meet- ings, but he had told a group of editors Monday night that he wants sophisticated F-15 and F-16 jet fighters as well as the short-range F5E fighters he is known to have re- quested. After talking with the House mem- bers, Sadat offered the "raise hell" comment with a laugh, but said in a serious tone about his request to buy U.S. arms, "The last time I was here I was shy. But I am not shy any more." THEN, AFTER' meeting with members of the Senate, Sadat said: "I am not any more shy at all. I am speaking as a partner and I am threatening." He refused to say how he threatened the senators and it was not clear from his manner how serious the threat had been. Sadat said he had lost his "shy- ness" after what he saw as an over- whelming American response to his Middle East peace initiatives. He suggested that congressional approval of the arms sales to Egypt would demonstrate that the United States is behind Egyptian efforts to achieve peace in the Middle Fast and Police petition to place capital punishment issue on Nov. ballot would be a demonstration of "part- nership and cooperation." AFTER THEIR meeting with Sa- dat, several House members said the Egyptian president told them he wanted more than the 120 lightweight F-5E jet fighters he reportedly is asking the Carter administration and Congress to approve. But the House members said Sadat did not specify what other arms he wanted. When reporters asked Sadat if he also wants the Air Force's sophisti- cated new swingwing F-15 jet fighter, he refused to specify but said he has given a meticulous list to President Carter. After the meeting on the House side of the Capitol, Democratic Leader Jim Wright of Texas said he believes that whatever President Carter re- quests for Sadat: "I think we'll give him." SADAT HAD asked previously for 12 F-5E jet fighters, a lightweight and relatively unsophisticated plane, and Carter has been reported to be in favor of selling him some of the planes, but not as many as he wanted. Congress must approve cash sales of U.S. weapons abroad as well as credit sales and outright gifts of arms. An official at the National Security Council said it has not made recom- mendations to President Carter yet on arms requests from Egypt, Israel, Saudi Arabia or Iran. CONGRESSPEOPLE who attend- ed the session on the House side said they were given little time to ask questions. They said Sadat was asked what guarantees the Arabs could give that 'I am not any more shy at all. I am speaking as a partner and I am threat- ening.' -Anwar Sadat sure King Hussein of Jordan will make the same guarantees if he enters the peace negotiations. Rep. Stephen Solarz (D-N.Y.), said he asked Sadat if Egypt could stay out of a war between Syria and Israel if Syria alone refused to participate in a peace agreement signed by the other Arab countries, then attacked the Jewish state on its own. By R.J. SMITH As part of a concerted drive to place a capital punishment amendment on the November 1978 ballot, the Michigan lodge of the Fraternal Order of Police (FOP) has pledged to gather 100,000 signatures on circulated petitions. The State lodge consists of 8,500 law enforcement officers and is affiliated with the national FOP, which has 150,000 members. WITH OVER 100,000 of the 265,000 signatures needed to put the issue on the ballot already collected by State Representative Kirby Holmes (R- Uttica), and with the additional 100,000 signatures promised, spokesmen for the FOP are optimistic about their chances for success. "Whatever the attitudes, we just want to see the people represented," said FOP publicity co-ordinator Dale Jablonski. "We're doing it because no one else was willing to put it out on the line." The petition calls for the following amendment to the State Constitution to be placed on the ballot: "THE LEGISLATURE shall enact laws providing for the penalty of death for those convicted of first-degree mur- der." The organization states, however, that it is not actually endorsing or ad- vocating the death penalty, but rather bringing it in front of a public that has strong feelings about that issue. Members of the FOP quote statistics that show 70-75 per cent of the people polled about capital punishment con- sider it a "valid point that should be in effect." "THE FOP DOES not want to be tagged as saying, 'Hey, we want capital punishment'," said co-ordinator Jablonski. "But we are tired of hearing, 'Doggonit, if we only had this,' or 'If we only had that.' If it gets passed, there will be no cheers from the FOP." However, Legislative Chairman Dale. Davis pointed out that this neutral stance may be changing. d "If there are a significant number of signatures on the petition, we may re- evaluate our stance on capital punish- ment one way or the other," Davis ex- plained.- Every member has been given a petition, and Davis said the strategy will be to take the petitions to large gathering places, such as outdoor and boat shows. Israel would be safe from attack under any peace agreement and that Sadat replied that he has already promised whatever guarantees Is- rael wants in the Sinai. The congresspersons quoted the Egyptian president as saying he is Solarz said Sadat replied that if Israel accepts his insistence that it withdraw from occupied Arab terri- tory, "The decision for war or peace is not a Syrian decision, not a Jordan- ian decision, but an Egyptian deci- sion."

Kenworthy related a story about a woman who had worked hard in her Fourth Ward community who had to leave the city because her husband found a new job.

Kenworthy pulls no punches in, evaluatingtthe performance of the present City Council and his own party. Refusing to cite names, he said, "Many campaign for office as outraged citizens but then quickly become the bureaucracy's instinc- tive defender.

That is part of the frustration I have in terms of the lack of initiative and direction. I think people know we're good but they wonder if we're effective. "I SHARE THAT fear and I think that's as much a criticism of me as anyone else.'.' Kenworthy finds his loss of pa- tience and perspective disconcerting. He says by leaving city govern- ment for now he can regain "a sense of the reasonableness of most of the public and clarify again my own values." As for aspirations for other politi- cal offices, Kenworthy says he has none. "I'm not interested in getting to the point where people speculate about what office you'll be running for next. "I'm not interested in running for state representative if Bullard runs for Senate or some bullshit like that. I'm very interested in politics but I'm not interested in it in that way."

SANDALOW is active nationally as a legal authority, and recently co- authored a brief on behalf of the Association of American' Law Schools that strongly upheld the practice of using special criteria for minority admissions at law schools. The brief has been filed in the U.S. Supreme Court's Bakke case dealing with that issue. "Right now," said Sandalow, "we're just waiting for the Court's ruling. The school has long been committed to take steps within the law to insure the presence of a sub- stantial number of qualified minority students. That has been our policy for over a decade and I expect that to continue." Sandalow said he expects the Law School faculty will take a long, hard look at the school's curriculum within the next few years, particu- larly in what he termed "skill edu- cation." "THERE HAS been arecent inter- est in training law students in practi- cal skills such as negotiating, advo- cacy and counseling," he said. "Such courses have been offered in the past, but in a piece-meal fashion. The faculty will have to decide how to increase, modify and integrate these skills into the curriculum, or decide whether we should be involved in such training at all." Sandalow said he also faces the problem of maintaining the delicate balance between the number of in-state and out-state students admit- ted to the school every year.
