Sadat delays peace talks
CAIRO (UPI) -Syria and Jordan tem-
pered their criticism of an Arat Sand
 yesterday and the Egyptian president
delayed the opening of his peace talks with
Israel in Cairo to give his onetime Arab
try to reconsider its initial rejection.
Syrian President Hafez Assad joined a group of other hardline Arab leaders in a Libyan-sponsored "anti-Satid" summit in Tripoli but moderated his criticism in an airport talk and was careful to avoid any personal condemnation of Sadat.
In Amman, King Hussein told a news conference he thought Sadat should not have surprised his Arab allies by springing his trip to Jerusalem on them but said he would not take sides in the current rift in the Arab world over the visit.
Egypt's acting foreign minister Butros Ghali announced the start of the Cairo conference will be delayed until mid-December, probably because of a concession to let the hardline Arab opponents of Sadat's peace initiative reconsider their refusal to attend.
Ghail said Egypt believed there is still a chance that Syria and the Palestine Liberation Organization might drop plans to boycott the Cairo conference and send a
GRAILI INDICATED the delay was prompted by a suggestion dropped by President Jimmy Carter Wednesday at his conference in Washington.
However, Assad, asked in Tripoli if there was any chance of a Syrian delegation going to the Cairo conference, replied, "Naturally, the answer is negative."
Assad was greeted with full military
nonors at what was once Wheels U.S. air base in Tripoli by Libyan strongman Col. Moamran Khadhy, Sadat's neighbor and bitter foe within the Arab world.
The Tripoli conference was called by Khadadh to unify Arab opposition to Sadat as a result of his trip to address the Israeli parliament in Jerusalem and call for face-to-face talks in Cairo prior to a Geneva Middle East peace conference.
HOWEVER, THE Syrian leader was careful to avoid being struck by a vehicle on construction or aviation in port cranes.
"We must do our utmost to assist the Egyptian people at this particular moment," Assad said in Tripoli. "It is important to avoid a disaster."
"We are here to pass a resolution on the Egyptian visit to Israel, but what it will be depends on our talks here," Assad said. "We will go to Jerusalem and the Arab position faced with the Zionists."
He repeated an earlier statement that Syria was not getting divorced from Egypt.
"Divorce is only between a man and a woman, not between two Arab nations," Assad said. "Egypt is part of the Arab world and helps the Egyptian people."
Asad joined PLO leader Yasir Arafat, Algerian President Houri Boumedienne, George Habash of the Popular Front for the Algerian people and an Iraqi delegation at the Libya meeting.
ARAFAT AND HABASH are perennial rivals within the Palestinian movement and Syria and Iraq have long been bitter foes within the Arab bloc.
In Amman, King Hussein also muted Jordan's stand in the inter-Arab conflict.
Hussein praised Sadat's courage for going
to Israel but said the Egyptian president should have consulted with his Arab allies.
"The whole thing was just sprung on us," he said. "He should have at least informed us."
Hussein said that as a result of Sadat's visit to Jerusalem the Arab world was passing through one of its most difficult period.
"We Jordan) will not take sides because
"Arabied Arab side emerge," the Hansein king

"WE HAVE MANY serious doubts regarding Israeli attitudes, especially vis-ais the West Bank, where Israel is still establishing new settlements."
"Sadat gave the best any Arab leader can offer," he said. "Now it's up to the Israelis to make the next move, but frankly, I do not see any encouraging signs from Israel.
However, Hussein said Sadat had started a process which would clearly show the world how far the Israelis are prepared to go toward peace.
In the West Bank, jubilant Jewish settlers, singing and dancing, moved into two military camps in what appeared to be the last authorized colonizations in occupied Arab territory for the duration of the peace talks.
One group of the settlers moved under army protection into a former Jordanian legion base at Givn near the Arab village of Jib and another took over a section of the border police camp at Beit Horon, on the Ramallah-Latrour road.
Diplomatic sources said the government is unlikely to authorize any future settlements as long as the Israeli-Egyptian peace dialogue continues.
HEW to alter sterilization rules
WASHINGTON (AP)—The Department of Health, Education and Welfare, which funds sterilization operations for 100,000 poor persons each year, proposed new regulations yesterday to ensure that no one is forced to undergo the procedure.
The changes also are designed to guarantee that a patient fully understands the irreversible consequences of the WSS Secretary Joseph A. Califano, da said.
The proposed rules would extend the minimum three-day waiting period between the time a poor person signs a voluntary application and the time of the surgery to a minimum of 30 days.
THEY ALSO would forbid or sharply limit federal funding of hysteretic permeability.
The rules would continue the requirement that patients be told that they will not lose any welfare or other federal aid if they refuse to be sterilized.
VOLUNTAIY sterilization of anyone in a jail or mental institution would be funded only if a special review committee and a court order approved, Califano said.
The regulations also would continue a current ban on using federal funds for sterilization in cases of infection, said HEW was considering allowing sterilization of some mentally incompetent persons in states that consider these persons "capable of giving birth."
At a press conference yesterday Califano said, "In the past week we've been working on a new reaction. By last week we were down to 40 or 50 colleges (in violation) and now we're down to 18 or 20. On school districts we're literally we'll be literally given them one more week."

WASHINGTON - Joseph A. Califano, Jr., secretary of Health, Education and Welfare, said yesterday that there are about 300 school districts and colleges—down from 500—threatened with loss of federal funds to promise to end sex discrimination.

He said plans to announce the names of violating institutions and school districts were postponed after HEW, in a last-ditch effort by the state's Department to receive numerous opportunities of compliance.
"On those that do not respond, I will take the first step next week," he said.
He said a significant number of sterilizations were performed on persons under 21, were made with improper consent forms or were made in cases where the three-day waiting period was ignored. But he said HEW had not kept caretrial records on sterilizations and did not know exactly how persons were sterilized in violation of the rules.
ordered the government to protect the poor from being coerced into sterilization.
The current rules were written in 1973 after U.S. District Judge Gerrard Hergestellt
The new proposals would require the patient and the doctor performing the operation to sign forms certifying the patient has been told and fully understands the risks and benefits of the sterilization operation.
The new regulations would prohibit federal payments for hysterectomies or laparoscopic surgery.

Ian Smith, blacks to start talks
SALBURSY, Rhodesia (UPI)-Prime Minister Ian Smith yesterday won agreement from the Rhodesia-based black coalition to give one-man, one-yote政权管理 rule transfer.
But a third group invited to take part, the United African National Council, led by the highly popular Bishop Abel Muzorewa, had boycotted the meeting until after December 8.
Muzorwaera's group said it would stick to its refusal to talk peace until it concluded a period of mourning for the victims of the bombings and guerrilla areas in Mozambique last week.
Muzowea charged that most of those killed were civilians who were massacred by Rhodian troops. But Smith, calling Muzowea "miniformed", said the raids dealt the guerrillas a crippling blow. The raids said more than 1,200 murders were killed.
SMITH, WHO announced the talks in an interview with the Rhodesia Herald, also addressing the accusations by demonstrations of the raids and accused Washington and London of prolonging the five-year guerrilla war by their "continuing support for the terrorist attacks of the UK."
Attending today's talks will be delegates from the Rev. Ndabaniani Bishteh's African National Council and from the Simbabwe United People's Organization, headed by tribal chief Jeremiah Chirau, an antiguerilla former cabinet minister.
A spokesman for Muzorewa said the
organization would review its announced willingness to take part in the talks after the mourning period unless Smith sends the bishop a detailed explanation for the raids.
THE SOURCES said the meeting would concentrate on an agenda for a constitutional conference excluding the Patriotic Front guerrilla group.
Smith said he was hopeful the talks could end the war.
