Begin invites Sadat to Jerusalem
Police use their night sticks to fight off anti-Shah protestors near the White
House yesterday. The Shah was being welcomed by President Carter when the
violence erupted.

committment to a negotiated peace.
But it also showed how desperately
he needs a settlement.
KING HASSAN of Morocco and
King Hussein of Jordan have report-
edly met in great secrect with Israeli
leaders, but this has always been
officially denied.
For Sadat to go to Israel would be
an act of great risk and daring,
perhaps dictated by necessity to
restore movement toward peace
talks.
Diplomatic efforts sponsored by
the United States to arrange an
Arab-Israeli peace conference in
Geneva next month appeared to have
reached a deadlock.
"LOSS OF diplomatic momentum
is the thing the Egyptians fear
most," said a diplomatic observer
here. If the current deadlock freezes
into permanent rigidity, it could lead
to a new war the Arabs do not want

"With rapid growth, the Guaranteed
Student Loan program has enabled
many students to get through college,"
Butts said. "But at the same time, the
program grew so fast it couldn't be ad-
ministered. The defaults are partially
the student's fault, but when the gover-
nment never send them a bill, how can
you blame the students for not paying."
Students loans have been providing
middle income families with
educational opportunities for the better
part of two decades.
"The first student loan program was
the nation's response to SPutnik," But-
ts said. "It was designed to encourage
people to become scientists and science
teachers so we would catch up with the
Russians. As it turns out, it has benefit-
ted anyone who wants to get an educa-
tion."
Michigan students can apply to any of
seven different loan programs, depen-
ding on the family income level. The
loans must come from private lending
institutions, the state government or
the University. Roughly 13 per cent of
all undergraduates have some kind of
student loan.
"There is a lot of bad publicity with
the program," he said. "But when you
compare how many students aren't re-
paying with how many benefited, you'll
see the criticism is undeserved."
and that Egypt cannot afford.
On the other hand, a settlement
with Israel would bolster Sadat's
position and allow him to turn force-
fully to Egypt's acute economic prob-
lems. Vast dollars of foreign aid are
now keeping Egypt going, and milita
tary preparedness gobbles up 30 per
cent of the state budget.
And uncertainty in the Mideast
keeps foreign investors away from
Egypt.
In recent weeks Sadat has issued a
number of proposals to get talks with
Israel going, but until the visit was
proposed, his efforts had been fruit-
'less. Obstacles in the form of inter-
twined procedural .and substantive
issues still divided the participants.
SADAT HAS broken with the Soviet
Union and placed all his chips on
President Carter and the United
States. But in many Arab eyes, in and
out of Egypt, Carter seems unable or
unwilling to pressure Israel into
making the concessions the Arabs
believe to be niecessary.
These are that Israel pull out of all*
Arab land occupied in 1967, that it
agree to the creation of a Palestinian
state next door, and that represen-
tatives of the Palestine Liberation
Organization be accepted at the
Geneva conference.
All of this Israel has formally
rejected in advance, saying any one
of these conditions was incompatible
with Israel's security.
Sadat's proposed visit drew ex-
pressions of support in random inter-
views with citizens in Cairo. "He
really wants to get us out of the
Middle East conflict so we can start
fixing up the country again. . . I
wouldn't mind one bit," said an
elderly newspaper vendor.
A BARTENDER said, "What have
our children seen of life except war?

change."
Speaking to Egypt's parliament
last Wednesday, Sadat said he would
spare no effort to achieve peace and
spare bloodshed: "Israel would be as-
tonished when they hear me say this,
but I say it. I am ready to even go to
their home, to their Knesset parlia-
ment and to discuss peace with them
if need be," he declared.
The assembled Egyptian lawmak-
ers, none of whom appeared to have
known of the proposal in advance,
broke into applause.

fully supports the "special relation-
ship" which the two countries have de-
veloped over the past 30 years, the
statement said.
AT LEAST 20 Park Police officers
and 86 demonstrators from among
thousands of both supporters and crit-
ics of the shah - most believed to be
from Iran or other nearby nations -
were injured in a melee, which erupted
on the Ellipse just south of the White
House, as the Iranian leader arrived
via helicopter.
A dozen persons were arrested, two
for assault on a police officer and the
others for disorderly conduct.
Most of the injuries did not appear
serious, though a hospital spokesman
declared, "We've got a lot of bloody
faces." One older man, however, was
taken to surgery with a fractured skull
and was described as in critical condi-
tion.
PRESIDENT CARTER dabbed his
eyes with his thumb, and the shah used
a silk hankerchief as they exchanged
words of greeting and friendship before
heading inside the White House for
private talks. Carter apologized for
"the temporary air pollution in Wash-
ington" as the shah presented him with
a tapestry portrait of George
Washington.
Even after the Ellipse was cleared,
thousands of hooded, anti-shah Iranian
students regrouped in a park just north
of the White House - and within a block
of the shah's guest quarters - to jeer
him upon his afternoon departure for a
State Department meeting.
U.S. Park Police estimated the total
demonstration force at 8,000.
ONE SMALL BAND broke away at 2
p.m. to rush a diplomatic car that the
students claimed contained Iranian se-
cret police. The car was struck with
clubs and sticks but sped away to
safety.
The confrontation on the Ellipse
lasted about 30 minutes, and there were
later incidents -of fist-fighting away
from the scene.
Despite police lines aimed at keeping
the student demonstrators away from
the pro-shah forces, mainly Armenians
and Assyrians, the two groups con-
verged on one another after their num-
bers had swelled into the thousands just
before the shah's arrival.
At the same time, a lesser battle
broke out between the two groups at a
companion demonstration at Lafayette
Park, north and across the street from
the White House on Pennsylvania Ave-
nue.
