"I believe Egypt and Israel remain fully committed to establishing a genuine peace and we will continue to help them in that efford," Vance said in a statement issued at the 13th-century moated castle where the meeting was held. VANCE SAID he would begin his diplomatic visits to Cairo and Jerusalem in two weeks. No other details of his travel plans were announ- ced but he also is likely to visit Jordan and Saudi Arabia, which the Carter- administration is depending on for sup- port of the U.S. mediation effort. Vance said he could not guarantee his trip would produce another foreign ministers' meeting, let alone a breakthrough toward settlement. Vance mediated the talks here, which focused on the future of the Israeli- occupied West Bank of the Jordan River and the Gaza Strip. AS THE TALKS were ending here, President Anwar Sadat of Egypt declared in Khartoum, Sudan, that Israel was "still dreaming of expan- sion" and said it could be "the cause of grave damage" to the Mideast. Sadat made the statement in a speech to a meeting of the Organization of African Unity. Israeli sources referred to the Leeds parley, held in a sitting room once favored by King Henry VIII, as "a seminar" rather than' a negotiating session. One delegate, however, said it was the first time he had thoroughly understood Egypt's position and felt Egypt understood Israel. See MIDEAST, Page 2 A BUDDING PICASSO? It's probably too early to tell, but this tot appears to be on her way as she polishes her painting skills at a special children's booth atthe Art Fair yesterday. Art attackr Of mmesmasks and Amassagess By MITCH CANTOR and ELISA ISAACSON Along with the hundreds of traditional exhibits, this year's Art Fair is not without its share of oddities and amusements. For instance, anyone willing to submerge his or her face in wet plaster for two minutes may walk away with a per- sonalized mask. Plaster caster LarryOughton, whose booth is located near the intersection of South Forest and South University Streets, said face molds sell well because "people like themselves - it shows they have a positive aspect about themselves." THE 32-YEAR-OLD art teacher added that creating your own face gives you a chance to "get to know yourself, to be creative with yourself." University graduate Kerry Sandford is the perpetrator of another unique scheme. Heis offering rides on his "tricycle cab" for 50 cents a customer. The canopied vehicle, which Sandford built in three weeks, can carry two passengers as Sandford peddles. Sandford runs back and forth from the in- tersection of State Street and Liberty down toMain Street. The coolie-clad biker, a rookie at his trade, will donate half of his earnings to the Ann Arbor Alliance to Stop Nuclear Power, of which he is a member. FOR THOSE unable to afford the 50-cent rickshaw fare, Wladyslaw Narowski is offering free foot massages on the lawn along East University. Narowski said he got the idea for his innovative endeavor three years ago, while meandering through his fifth or sixth Art Fair. "I noticed myself overloaded and overwhelmed by so many pots and paintings - you get so you can't see anything anymore," he explained. "I though, 'What would I want more than anything else? - a foot rub' - and I thought other people would, too. "It was pretty scary at first, because it's never been done before, but people have come back," Narowski said of the in- See MIMES, Page 10 c c 1 i 1 i "I Postal talks snagged as strike deadline nears WASHINGTON (AP) - Contract resolved many secondary national leaders have threatened to call their American Postal Workers, has drawn talks aimed at heading off a possible issues during the day on matters such members off the job if an agreement is up contingency plans in the event of "an strike by postal workers remained as grievance procedures, arbitration not reached by today's deadline. emergency" after midnight today. snagged yesterday on the question of and union recognition. -In response to those threats, Post- The federal government also has layoffs, with bargainers reportedly "Both sides, however, are still far master General William Bolger has drawn up strike plans that include the refusing to bend on the issue. apart on several other major issues," warned postal workers that they could use of military personnel to deliver "They just ran into a logjam," said said Horvitz without identifying the lose their jobs and be convicted of a essential mail. one source close to the negotiations areas of dispute.
