Page 8-Saturday, January 14, 1978-The Michigan Daily Sadat mulls Palestinian self-rule Gov. hopeful Fitzgerald (Continued from Page 1) discussions. He brought back with him Egyptian counterproposals to an Israeli plan for withdrawl from the Sinai, which Israel seized from Egypt in the 1967 Mideast wasr, and for future security arrangements there. Asked whether Egypt's ideas were acceptable, Weizman replied: "No, no... But there are a few things that are more than a possibility." HE SAID the Cairo meetings had been "amicable" but that the only progress he could report was on the issue of establishing zones in the Sinai. Thex two sides had come closer together on "the principle of a concep- tion that sees the Sinai divided into three areas-probably a United Nations zone or a buffer zone, a demilitarized zone and a zone where the Egyptian army will go back to," Weizman said. he did not elaborate. The biggest stumbling block to agreement on the Sinai appears to be the existence of 20 Jewish settlements there. Begin has insisted that they remain under Israeli control, and Sadat has demanded that all Israelis pull out of the Sinai. THE SADAT interview in the English-language Jerusalem Post was his first with an Israeli newspaper. It took place earlier this week in Aswan, Egypt. Sadat said Begin was "returning to the language of threats" when he said last Sunday he might rescind his offer to return the Sinai to Egypt if Jewish settlements are not allowed to remain there. "We're heading toward the old problem: is it peace or land?" Sadat was quoted as saying. "This is the question that needs an answer from your side. Until now you've been after land." The Post reported Sadat said he could accept as a transitional measure Begin's proposals for limited self-rule for the Palestinians of the Israeli- occupied West Bank of the Jordan River and the Gaza Strip, provided Israel pledges in advance that the Paslestinians would ultimately have self-determination. Begin's plan calls for a review of the situation after five years and leaves open the question of sovereignty over the territories. But he has consistently rejected the idea of an independent: Palestinian state. His plan also calls for a continued Israeli military presence in the territories. The Post said Sadat in the interview reaffirmed his demand for total Israeli withdrawal from occupied Arab lands. The United States had one life insurance company from 1759 to 1768. In 1970, there were 1,800, when 355 million policies were in force and coverage per family averaged $21,000, says the Census Bureau. attacksm (Continued from Page 1) "People aren't going to put pressure on me to do the wrong thing." Fitzgerald also leveled sharp criticism at Milliken for "mishandling" the PBB problem. "He really gave the farmers a kick in the pants," he said. "We know that the, Public Health Department and the Agriculture Department have been a national em- barrassment to us." FITZGERALD SAID he would promote a state budget without the deficit spending that some state legislators promote. The state con- stitution currently forbids deficit spen- ding, but there are many Democrats who would like to hold a new con- stitutional convention to change this and other clauses. "We have to have a balanced budget," Fitzgerald said. "Michigan does not operate like the federal gover- nment is allowed to operate." Fitzgerald does, however, share Milliken's support for a land use plan- ning bill now in the Senate Conservation Committee. ilMilitken "We should have some means to regulate growth and development. Some mechanism is needed to deter- mine how we grow . .. so that some sanity is involved," he said. THE BILL AND other conservation bills do face opposition, however. Fitz- gerald called Sen. Joseph Mack (D- Ironwood) a "tyrant type" who is "trying to lock the bills up in commit- tee." The bill, which has been a high priority item for Milliken, would limit poli1cies2 uncontrolled development in man state land areas. "I think it's better not to cut the higher education budget," Fitzgeral said, turning towards the issue of shrinking state appropriations for colleges. However, he did not advocate a higher proportion of state funds for educational purposes, saying: "We are wasting a lot of money in ad. iministration. There's not enougl money that goes into the system foi direct pupil services." LONG STRUGGLE WASHINGTON (AP) - The four- year battle of the citizens of a small Icelandic fishing village to save their homes and livelihood from the rav- ages of a large volcanic explosion seems to have paid off. According to a National Geograph- ic Magazine report, the 5,000 people of Vestmannaeyjar on the island of Heimaey couldn't wait to return to their village after being driven away in 1973 by fire, lava and heavy ash that threatened to clos forever the mouth of theim harbor and cover their homes. At one point, firemen sprayed cold seawater on the encroaching lava flow in an effort to create a dam that would divert the molten rock. Now, with the village mostly cleaned of ash, the fishermen find themselves with an improved harbor and a po- tential source of heating energy from the lava deposits.

Psalms 2:1 a "AND LET US NOT BE WEARY IN WELL DOING: FOR IN DUE SEASON WE SHALL REAP, IF WE FAINT NOT." Galatlans 6:9. The writer is thinking of quite a number of correspondents who have written telling of evil and corrup- tion they know of in high and low places, of things all decent and God Fearing men and women should be ashamed. in the 9th chapter of the Book of Ezekiel, God orders a mark put upon all those crying and troubled concerning society's corruptions and abominations. This mark was to protect them from the man with the "slaughter weapon" sent forth by The Almighty for judgement and vengeance. "Woe unto them that call evil good." Many consider fine and o.k. things the Bible calls abominations in the sight of God. Said Jesus Christ in Luke 16:15: "FOR THAT WHICH IS HIGHLY ESTEEMED IN THE SIGHT OF MEN IS ABOMINATION IN THE SIGHT OF GOD." Are you familiar with the context of the Scripture in which this statement was made? It was followed with Christ's "Record of a certain rich man" in the fires of hell, who in his effort to get his brethren warned was told: "They have Moses and the prophets; let them hear them - - If they hear not Moses and the prophets, neither will they be persuaded, though one rose from the dead." The tes- timony of this Column, whether any hear or forbear to hear, is t be aware of all those who set the New Testament against The Old Testamentl One of the early Christian martyrs, and Acts 4:25 Polycarp, said such were the "first born of the devil!" To those sincere in their witness against the evils all about, and know Judgement and Wrath Is ahead unless we repent and turn away from evil, would suggest you read and meditate upon the 9th chapter of Nehemiah, and again the 9th chapter of Daniel. in these chapters the Congregation of Israel, and later Daniel, appear to repent and apologize to God for the great sin of the people as well as their own, and seek pardon and forgiveness, though undeserved. The first recorded words of Christ after His baptism were approval of "every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God," which means all Scripture - read Matthew and Luke 4:4. And later Christ said: "Ye do err, not knowing the Scrip- tures, and the power of God!" So we say at the close of this paragraph, as at the beginning: "AND LET 4S NOT BE WEARY IN WELL DOING: FOR IN DUE SEASON WE WILL REAP, IF WE FAINT NOT!" We do well to worry and warn of evil and disobedience to God's Commandments! In fact we do unwell and are in danger if we fail to give God's warning 2nd Chronicles 7:14: "IF MY PEOPLE, WHICH ARE CALLED BY MY NAME, SHALL HUMBLE THEMSELVES, AND PRAY, AND SEEK MY FACE, AND TURN FROM THEIR WICKED WAYS: THEN WILL I HEAR FROM HEAVEN, AND WILL FORGIVE THEIR SIN,, AND WILL HEAL THEIR LAND."

"It's the kind of thing you can get away with in peace, but if war breaks out, you're in trouble," he commented. SHORTLY AFTER his arrest, Rickett was interrogated for 12 days. During thatstime, he said, he found him- self "admitting things I swore I never would and denying things I had already admitted." "The investigating judge pointed out to me that it cost quite a bit to feed you but only five cents to shoot you," Rickett recalled. Rickett also discussed the Commu- nist government's cultural programs after the revolution. For the most part, he said, he new system works very well.

However, he cautioned that every institution created by human beings can be misused. Rickett said the Chinese were able to. make massive social changes largely through their use of propaganda. "The whole question of shaping thought \tends to repel us (Americans)," he said. "The Chinese never had the emphasis on individual rights as in the U.S.A.", "CHINA'S MAIN problem (after the revolution) was changing the habits and customs of tens of millions of peo- ple." This was accomplished, he said, by organizing people into discussion groups, and through plays. "It's a system very similar to group therapy in this country," he said, but added that "there is no other group in history who have tried to do this to an entire population." "For me the whole process of reform was extremely difficult," Rickett said. "The crucial question was what I would do when I got out ...

A BYSTANDER and a policeman grabbed Batra's asrm and together they took him to a police car. Soon afterward Mrs. Gandhi entered the town hall auditorium and spoke for 40 minutes, making no reference to the incident. Later she talked-with some of the crowd about what had happened. Batra, an electro-plating worker, was taken to a police station and questioned on suspicion of attempted murder and violation of arms control laws, police said. He was said to have lived in a neigh- borhood destroyed during a controver- sial slum clearance program under the Gandhi administration. A political worker with Mrs. Gandhi in her said he saw an armed man ap- proach the car and raise his arm to her window. "The gun hit the glass and I shouted, 'It's a revolver!' " J. K. Jain, of Mrs. Gandhi's branch of the split and recen- tly dethroned Congress Party, told a reporter. He said Mrs. Gandhi was not disturbed by the incident. Mrs. Gandhi governed India for 11 years and resigned after her Congress Party was defeated last March by Morarji Desai's Janata Party. Her ad- ministration has been accused of numerous abuses during her 19-month "emergency"that ended shortly before her defeat. r MEETiNGS FOR PROSPECTIVE STAFF MEMBERS FC PW srq Fi r Tuesday, Jan. 17-8 p.m. East Quad, Greene Lounge Bursley, West Lounge Wed., Jan. 18-8 p.m. South Quad, West Lounge ThUr., Jan. 19-S p.m. Markley, Angela Davis Lounge Daily offices 420 Maynard (upstairs)
