Sadat rejects negotiations until Israel compromises
CAIRO (UPI)-Egyptian President Nawar Saad told an in interview published yesterday that he would meet again with Ezer Weizman, Israel defense minister,
However, he said political and military negotiations between the two countries would not resume until Israel decided to compromise.
Israel, on the other hand, called for a resumption of the negotiations.
In another development, Syria yesterday ledged a protest with the United Nations, charging that a land mine planted by Israel behind Syrian truce lines on the Golan Heights had killed 12 people, including nine Syrian military personnel.
THE SYRIAN government said it was holding Israel responsible for the consequences of the most serious reported truce violation since the Syrian-Irakiian disengagement accord on the Golan Heights after the 1973 Middle East war.
In Tel Aviv, the military command im mediate denied the Syrian charge.
"The Israel defense forces have not carried out any action or attack against Syria since the disengagement agreement of May 1974," an army spokesman said.
While speaking to a representative of the weekly magazine October, Sadat described Israeli Prime Minister Menachem Begin as a "miracle" and said that he streakedfast in the peace negotiations.
Weizman visited Cairo Thursday in an attempt to break the deadlock in the peace process.
ASKED WHY he agreed to the Weizman visit although Israeli troops were still in southern Lebanon, Sadat said he had decided to maintain open channels with Israel ever since his trip to Jerusalem in November.
"This has been decided once and for ever," he said. "I will not burry my head in the sand after today. I will say what I have and I must hear what they have to got to saw."
But Sadat made it clear that the parallels political and military negotiations between Mr. Bush and Mr. Obama could be resumed
unless there was a change in the Israeli position.
Moshe Dayan, Israeli foreign minister, left Tel Aviv yesterday for a three-day official visit to Rumania, which has ties with Israel and Egypt. He returned as a past Middle East go-between in the
"There is still hope," Dayan said. "If Sadat is sincere, I think the means can be found to proceed toward peace."
THE ISRAELI government is now
able to express its view that direct
negotiation will be possible.
"The government of Israel expresses its regret over the refusal by the government of Egypt to reconvene the negotiations in the military and political committees of Israel today after a four-hour meeting at which Weizmann briefed cabinet members on his trip.
Sadat met with Weizman for two hours Thursday. An Egyptian government spokesman said then that no progress was made in their talks.
Larger U.N. security force urged
BEIRUT (AP) — The speaker of Lebanon's Parliament called on the United Nations yesterday to change the mission of the agency, from peacekeeping to a deterrent army.
"The U.N. force must be bolstered in size and equipment to be able to deal with the enormous mission in south Asia." The U.N. said it had in a request to U.S. Secretary-General Kurt Waldheim.
Southern Lebanon was reported generally quiet yesterday, the 12th day of Israeli-occupied territory.
Assad did not say which size force he would favor, but informants said the Lebanese government wanted about 6,000 troops armed with heavy weapons, and helicopters.
southern Lebanon. Troops from France, Sweden, Norway and Iran have begun settling between Palestinian guerrillas and Israeli invasion forces in the south. Their mission is to supervise an Israeli withdrew, help establish Lebanese sovereignty in the south and prevent armed forces from returning to the area.
Israeli troops invaded the region March 15 to clear the land from the area just north of Lebanon's Lebanese border.
Christian leader Carmille Chamoun, a former Lebanese president, said he deplored what he called the lack of investment in the national community to send adequate troops to Lebanon.
Right-wing Christian leaders say fewer than 2,000 of the promised 4,000 soldiers have arrived in Lebanon.
AIDED BY Christian militia-men, the Israelis occupied all the area south ofebronan's Litani River, except for a coastal area, the guerrilla-controlled port of Tyre.
Last week, Maj. Gen. Emmanuel Erskine of Ghana, commander of the U.N. force, with metis Yasir Arafat, who pledged that his Palestine Liberation Organization would cooperate with the U.N. soldiers. Guerrilla radicals have said, however, they will not cease firing and have to post north of the Lilian. Militants make up about 20 percent of the estimated 11,000 guerrillas in the south.
Premier Salim el-Hoss met yesterday with Arafat to discuss the situation in the south.
Referendum could raise taxes and rents
Some University of Kansas students, faculty and staff will pay higher rent rates if voters from Lawrence School District #497 approve a property tax increase in May.
Bob Moore, co-owner of Meadowbrook apartments, said recently that renters could expect to pay $2 more each month if voters approved a May 9 referendum to raise property taxes and go beyond the limitation on student cost increases.
Whatever the increase, it is passed on.
Whatever the increase, its purpose is
"You have to consider the increase as
significant because it all adds up. Most
expenses are $2 at a time."
"Everybody pass property taxes, one way or the other, directly or indirectly." Moore
BUT UNAMBITY does not exist among lawrence apartment owners about how the tax code affects them.
"It's not going to be a major thing," Bill Lemesany, local attorney, said. "It will increase the average rent prices $10 per unit per year."
Lemesany owns University Terrace, Old Mill and Emery apartments. He co-owns Plaza Manor and Park Plaza South apartments with his sons. Lemesany also owns houses east of campus on Ohio and Tennessee streets.
Another apartment owner, Daniel Ling,
associate professor of physics and
astronomy, refused to be quoted but said he
was going to take more would be minor and
passed on to renters.
Moore said, "I resent the fact that somebody says the increase is insignificant. Renters don't get credit for paying property taxes."
Fred Hagman had a different perspective than other apartment owners.
"IM IN the process of selling my property in California with the proposed tax increase."
The referendum allows the school board to raise $800,200 from property taxes for new schools.
If the referendum fails, the negotiated salary contract for district employees approved last week is waived and all workers ages by the Lawrence Education Association would be nullified.
The present state law limits a district to 5 percent increases in spending for each school district, considering a bill to increase the limit to 6 percent or a one-mill increase for the district. The referendum would increase the school district's mill levy 4.5 mills from current levels.
The referendum would allow the school board to spend 15 percent more on each student in the district. The district will pay $26,000 per school as the Lawrence primary and secondary schools is $1,154.17.
A MILL is $1 for every $1,000 of assessed property valuation.
Assessed value, by state law, is 30 percent of the appraised value.
For a $45,000 home, appraised valuation in
Lawrence is $189,764. The home's
appraised value should be $4,000.
The referendum means the projected mill increase would be multiplied by six. There are six "thousands" in $6,000 assessed growth, which increase the property tax $27.
Aung in the one-mill increase expected from the Legislature, if the referendum passes, would produce a total increase of $33 for the $50,000 home.
But the May 9 ballots will allow a three-to-
six-mile milleway instead of one specific mall
guideline, and increase legislation and
increasing property valuation
CARL KNOX, superintendent of the school district, said classified employees, such as secretarial, janitorial and food service personnel, would have salary increases of 16 to 17 percent, faculty increases of slightly less than 13 percent and administrative employees increases of 11 percent.
Knox said the increases were based on a study by the district that compared the Lawrence district with other school districts.
The study compared District #497 to the 11 largest school districts in Kansas, to Big Eight University city school districts and to the average of the two comparisons.
"In all instances," Knox said, "per pupil cost of operation in Lawrence was below the mean of the three different populations that were studied."
Knox said that salaries were below the mean, the mill levy was below the mean and the valuation behind each pupil—which is probably about 10% of the £20,000 in the study—was particularly high.
The valuation behind each pupil is determined by dividing the total assessed property valuation $150,677,841-by the number of enrolled students-7,600.
"I think that explains the unanimous decision of the board," Knox said. "The facts were pretty clear that the referendum was not an option for education in Lawrence to be maintained."

Carter's apartheid remark displeases South Africans
JOHANNESBURG (UPI)—S uth african radio yesterday called President Jimmy Carter a cynic motivated by political exile. He asked if he offended his right to speak about morality.
The criticism came over Carter's visit to Nigeria and a joint communique issued by Carter and Lt. Gen. Olusegun Obasanjo condemning apartheid in South Africa.
South African government officials have not commented on the first visit by a U.S. embassy.
The government-owned radio, noting that Nigeria is a major supplier of U.S. oil, said
Carter's visit underscored Carter's cynicism and what it called the economic and political expedition that motivates him.
The radio said, "The great champion of human rights consorts with General Obasano-leader of a country where, through the years, gross violations of human rights have been the order of the day.
"We have, thus, the remarkable spectacle of the president of the United States being led in a critical area of his foreign policy by the latter of an underdeveloped, emergent state."
Eagleton also said the Department of Transportation was considering helping the city and state with a grant of $10 million in street improvement projects in the area.
Cubans reported to have attacked Angolan villages
LONDON (UP1) - The Sunday Telegraph said yesterday that Cuban soldiers had spearheaded a six-month terror campaign against the country in northern Angola, attacking hundreds of villages.

The paper's diplomatic correspondent, Norman Kirkham, spent two weeks in the Angolan hush bordering Zaire with anti-terrorism National Front for the Liberation of Angola
Hundreds of civilians have been rounded up and 70,000 are estimated to have died at the hands of thousands of Cuban and African government seized power, Kirkham reported.
ERA makes women reject Missouri site
NO NEW location was announced.
WICHTHA (AP)—Delegates to the Women in Communications Inc. Midwest Regional Conference voted unanimously yesterday to move its 1879 meeting out of Missouri and to move it to the Missouri Legislature's opposition to the Equal Rights Amendment.
"we had scheduled the 1979 meeting in St. Louis in hopes that ratification would occur, but the need for planning makes it impossible to proceed with that location," Karen Howard Brown, regional vice president, said.
The boycott suports the action taken at the group's 1975 national meeting discouraging WGTE 8,000 members from attending the meeting. The amendment has not been approved.
