Carter plugs human rights on trip
RIO DE JANEIRO (AP)—President Jimmy Carter stalked on his Third World tour by problems in the Middle East, said yesterday that he was confident Israeli Prime Minister Menachem Begin could negotiate peace with his Arab neighbors.
At the same time, Carter grappled with problems back home, saying price increases posted by major U.S. steel producers were a serious blow to the inflation program because he would anna- tion it to control inflation when he returned to Washington.
CARTER SPOKE at a news conference in Brazil before flying to Rio de Janeiro. He said he was the first foreign
policy advisers, the third stop on his seven-
th trip to opposing countries in Latin
America and Africa.
Carter told members of Brazil's national congress that their nation and the United States could "disagree, even vigorously on occasion, without bitterness or distrust." Carter and Ernesto Geisel, president of Brazil's military government, affirmed American president attaches to human rights and to curbing the spread of atomic weapons.
BEFORE LEAVING Brasilia, Carter also met with officials of the Brazilian supreme court. He plugged for human rights, but balanced his call for justice for the oppressed with an endorsement of efforts to provide social stability.
Then Carter met privately with Geisel, a four-star general, to discuss both human rights and the nuclear issue. They had put off the discussion until just before Carter departed for Rio de Janeiro. There was no communication from either government on the talks.
televised throughout Brazil and in the United States, was Carter's second formal away-from-home news conference since he became president first was last Dec. 30 during a visit to Poland.
THE NEWS CONFERENCE in Brasilia,
The questions in Brasília alternated between Brazilian and U.S. reporters. Carter wrote an earphone to provide him with a recording device from Portuguese, which is spoken in Brazil.
Peace talks stalled
CAIRO (UPI)—President Anar Sawat and Israel Defense Minister Eze Welzman held two days of secrecy-shrouded talks with the Islamic State leader deadlock in Middle East peace negotiations.
As the two men were meeting at Satad's residence just north of Cairo, President Carter gave Israeli Prime Minister Menachem Begin a vote of confidence during a news conference in Brasilia, Brazil.
Carter, cn a four-nation world tour, categorically denied that his administration wanted to see Beg replaced. He called for the president to begin aObstacle to peace completely false.
WEIZMAN ARRIVED in Cairo yesterday morning to almost no fanfare from the Egyptian press—a fair cry from the Arabic media. The next trips to Egypt in January and February.
Following the meeting with Sadat, a presidential spokesman said, "There was no progress and the situation remains unchained."
The spokesman denied reports from Israel that the talks with Weizman constituted a resumption of direct Egyptian negotiations, which broke off earlier this year.
"The work of the (joint) political and military committees has been at a standstill and they will not resume until after a basis has been found for restarting the talks," the spokesman said in a restatement of the Egyptian position.
ONE DAY BEFORE Weizman arrived,
U.S. Ambassador Hermann F. Eilts
delivered a letter to Sadat from Begin.
Reports from Israel said the letter urged
resumption of direct political and military talks.
Israeli government sources said before
his departure that the minister would be taking new ideas to Egypt, but no proposals beyond the Israeli peace plan already rejected by Cairo.
The Egyptian spokesman said the Sadat-Weizman talks also dealt with Israel's invasion of southern Lebanon March 14 to strike at Palestinian guerrilla positions
WEIZMAN ASSURED Sadat that Israeli forces would not remain in south Lebanon for one minute after the deployment of the Islamic State, the Security Council, the spokesman said.
Slightly more than a quarter of the project's 1,000-man force is now on station.
But in Beirut, a top radical Palestinian leader yesterday rejected the cease-fire in the region and vowed a battle against reactionaires inside the country.
GEORGE HABASH of the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine told a cheering Beirut rally, "We say to the international (U.N.) emergency force that the Palestinian revolution cannot recognize anything called a cease-fire."
The Egyptian government spokesman's statement was the only official light shed on Weizman's visit, which otherwise was deliberately shorn of all publicity.
There was speculation in diplomatic circles that, apart from Sadat's dissatisfaction with Israel's negotiating stance, the Israeli invasion and continued invasion of Gaza had a factor in Egypt's desire to muffle Weizmann's visit this time as much as possible.
There also was speculation that Beginn Weizman to Cairo at this time in an effort to improve Israel's world image talks with Carter in Washington last week.
