Page 2-Wednesday, December 7, 1977-The Michigan Daily SAUDI ARABIA-EGYPT RELATIONS: Economic aid likely to continue JIDDA, Saudi Arabia (AP)-Saudi Arabia was reported likely yesterday to continue its massive economic aid to Egypt despite misgivings over President Anwar Sadat's peace initiative with Israel. Diplomatic sources said they expect the oil-rich kingdom to attempt to mend the present split in Arab ranks before considering a reassessment of its foreign policy. THE OIL-RICH Saudis are providing the bulk of the $3 billion in aid promised -Jo Just for the health of it. -Get moving, America?

In keeping with its reticence over Sadat's peace moves, the Saudi gover- nment withheld public comment on Egypt's decision to sever diplomatic relations with Syria and four hardline Arab states that participated in an anti- Sadat summit at Tripoli, Libya. Saudi officials consider Sadat's unilateral mission to Israel to have been a tactical blunder, one source said. But, he added, "what is done is done. The kingdom will have to try to make the best of it." DIPLOMATS SAID Saudi Arabia would hardly support any move to destabilize Sadat since it regards his moderate, anti-communist government to be a major security factor in the Red Sea area. Informed sources discounted Beirut newspaper dispatches from Libya saying Saudi Arabia and other oil-rich Persian Gulf states had decided to cut off financial aid to Egypt. The Beirut reports also were dismissed as baseless by an official source in Kuwait, another Arab oil producer that has provided large scale financial support for Cairo. SADAT HIMSELF earlier challenged reports of an impending cut in Saudi aid. "It is a fact there is a difference among us and the Saudis," he said in an interview with The Associated Press. last Sunday. ". . . but I never heard anything like this." The Egyptian president dispatched a personal envoy, Ashraf Marwan, to Saudi Arabia on Sunday with a hand- written letter to King Khaled and Crown Prince Fahd. The letter is believed to have contained an appeal for open Saudi support. Several days earlier, Sudanese President Jaafar el-Numairi paid a surprise visit to Jidda in an apparent bid to solicit Saudi backing for Sadat, Sudan, neighbor and ally of Egypt, is the strongest supporter in the Arab world of Sadat's peace moves. WHILE EGYPTIAN sources have maintained that Sadat went to Israel with at least tacit approval from Saudi Arabia, informants say Sadat evidently decided against telling King Khaled to Jamaica was discovered by Christopher Columbus in 1494 and was occupied by the Spaniards from 1509 to 1655, when it was captured by the English.

The sole Saudi statement on the trip to date implied mild criticism of Sadat's go-it-alone approach. It ex- pressed "surprise" over Sadat's action and cautioned that any moves toward peace should be conducted within the framework of Arab unanimity. The Saudi royal house, vehemently anti-communist and highly suspicious of Arab socialism,- has welcomed Sadat's growing estrangement with the Soviet Union and his attempts to in- troduce more free enterprise into the nationalized economy left by the late Gamal Abdel Nasser, Sadat's predecessor.

Carter proposes boost to U.S. steel production and employment (Continued from Page 1) The process will take between 60 days to 90 days, instead of the approximately 13 months it now takes to process dum- ping complaints. Foreign producers would still have an opportunity to justify their prices, but they would have the duties assessed when the case is started, rather than af- ter it is decided. JAPANESE officials are scheduled to arrive in Washington today to provide information on their production costs. Solomon said he expects trigger prices to be established by the end of Decem- ber and that the entire plan will be in operation within 60 days. The plan will not bar all dumping, however, since European producers, who have higher production costs than the Japanese, can sell at the Japanese price. The plan does not require congressional approval. But it encountered some sharp criticism, especially from Republicans, who were briefed in advance along with other members of Congress. "NEVER BEFORE has the ad- ministration labored so long about so much and produced so little," Sen. Richard Schweiker (R-Pa.), told repor- ters. Sen. John Heinz (R-Pa.) said he didn't think it would help much and branded it "a disaster for the Nor- theast." In establishing the trigger prices, the administration will take into account profits and the cost of transportation, as well as other costs. It would allow 5 percent flexibility from the actual cost. In addition to the trigger prices, the administration plans to assist the in- dustry by: -Studying the feasibility of reducing the period for tax write-offs of invest- ments in new steel t producing machinery from the current 18 years to 15 years. That would save the steel in- dustry $60 million in taxes over the next four years, the report said. -Making available about $215 million in loan guarantees from the Commerce Department's Economic Development Administration to help finance plant modernization by com- panies having difficulty obtaining financing through normal channels. -DETERMINING whether an- tipollution requirements for the in- dustry can be met more efficiently and cheaply, but without relaxing "basi environmental goals." It recommende against more lenient treatment. i regulation and enforcement of a tipollution measures for the industry. -Granting more help for co munities and workers who are hurt b production cutbacks, including $ million for commuinity economi recovery projects. -Looking more closely at th possible benefits from mergers an joint ventures in the industry, includin a directive to the Department of Justic to expedite its evaluation of suc proposed actions by steel companies. -ESTABLISHING a tripartite corn mittee of industry, labor and gove nment representatives to "ensure continuing cooperative approach to th problems and progress of the steel i dustry." The report said steel producers ha agreed to invest their increased cas receipts from the program into pla modernization and improvement Solomon said the industry could recei an additional $450 million in cas receipts, mostly as a result of t president's upcoming tax reduction an revision program. 0 2 .1 j *1 ii 4-. i~ B.S. & GRADS, have you planned your career?
