One of the men, a student, is subject

pending ahearing, he said.
Earlier in the day, six clergymen, in-

reported there was no sign that the
Iranians were being mistreated. One of
them said he was told by the prison
warden that only "paperwork" stoed in

Jody Powell rejected any. suggestion

the holding of the Iranians and Iran's
holding of 52 American diplomats as
hostages.
"We have nothing to hide," Powell
said. "These students, quite unlike the
hostages in Iran, are beipg handled
strictly in accordancewith the law."

JERUSALEM (AP) - Israel said
yesterday it was prepared to discuss'
Jerusalem with Egypt but reaffirmed
its position that the city will not be a
part of a Palestinian autonomy plan for
occupied territories.
Responding to the Israeli statement,,
the Egyptian foreign minister declared
in Cairo that Jerusalem "is part of the
autonomy talks." And Foreign Minister
Kamal Hassan Aly also told reporters
the talks, suspended by President An-
war Sadat, were unlikely to be resumed
soon.
IN A STATEMENT authorized by the
Israeli government, Foreign Ministry
spokesman Yoram Ben-Zeev said
Israel was not backing down from its
position that Jerusalem's 100,000 Arab
residents are not involved in an:
autonomy plan and would be barred
from voting for a Palestinian council
that would represent West Bank and
Gaza Arabs. ¢
"Jerusalem is not part of the
autonomy," Ben-Zeev said, but he ad-
ded, "all issues on all matters are sub-
ject to negotiation, because the idea is.
to overcome obstacles by negotiation."
An Israeli Foreign Ministry
spokesman said Israel would not agree
to put Jerusalem on the agenda of the

'Palestinian autonomy talks as a
precondition for resuming the stalled
negotiations.
SADAT DELAYED the talks on
Palestinian self-rule in Israeli-occupied
territory to await Israeli clarifications
on the Jerusalem law passed by the
Israeli Parliament last week by an
overwhelming majority. The law made
all Jerusalem capital of the Jewish
state.
Sadat was said to be looking for a
gesture from Israel or a signal that
Jerusalem was still negotiable. The law
has been interpreted as pre-empting
negotiations on the city's final status.
Egypt has attempted to have
Jerusalem included in discussions on
setting up self-rule for the 1.2 million
Palestinians in the occupied West Bank
of the Jordan River and Gaza Strip.
Israel insists the entire city of
Jerusalem is the Israeli capital and not
a subject for negotiation.
PRIME MINISTER Menachem
Begin, replying to a letter Sadat sent
him Sunday, drafted a message that
reportedly reviewed Israel's positions
in the autonomy talks and detailed what
Israel called Egyptian deviations from
the Camp David framework agreement
outlining theautonomy scheme.

The content of the letter was not
disclosed, but Interior Minister Yosef
Burg, the chief autonomy negotiator,
said it "did not close any doors." A copy
was to be sent to President Carter, of-
ficials said.'
In Cairo, an Egyptian government
spokesman said Sadat would deliver "a
message to the world" today from a
retreat at the foot of Mount Sinai in the
Sinai Peninsula where he is spending
the final days of Ramadan, the Islamic
holy month that ends this weekend.
