Sadat confers with Syria for support of Israel trip
DAMASCUS, Syria (AP)-President Anwar Sadat of Egypt met with Syrian President Hafez Assad yesterday, seeking answers to allegations al-Syrian for his proposed visit to Israel.
Informed diplomatic and Syrian sources said they believed Sadat was trying to allay Assad's fears he would make private deals on the first visit of an Arab leader to Syria.
Sadat was likely to tell Assad any trip to Israel was "meant to change the Israeli mentality about Arab intentions, and to show that it was not just a question and who is not," one Arab diplomat said.
DESPITE THE DRAMA of the prospective meeting between the two opposing Mideast leaders and the optimism it stirred, serious obstacles remained to a settlement in the region—even to a bilateral understanding between Egypt and Israel.
Key Arab demands for Israeli withdrawal from all occupied territories and creation of a Palestinian state, both repeatedly rejected by the Israelis, were reiterated by a Syrian spokesman after Sadat and Assad had completed two rounds of talks.
The spokesman said the two leaders agreed to "coordinate their efforts for a just and lasting peace in Israel with pre-June 1967 borders and recognition of the legitimate rights of the Palestinians. At most, they have no concern about meeting Sandy's proposed visit to Israel.

It is expected that the center will fail $355,000 short in its budget for utilities because Oklahoma Gas and Electric Co. is abolishing a special institution rate, Charles York, the center's director of site support said.

Sadat's cabled greetings to the Tel Aviv symposium were seen as a gesture further indicating his peaceful intentions. It was the message by an Arab leader to an Israel event.
The emphasis on Palestinian statehood could foretell the content of Slaan's planned speech in Israel's Parliament. The 120 articles described not likely to give the idea much applause.
TOPEKA (UPI)—The state's medically only welfare aid clients have declined by about 75 per cent in the last six months, and general welfare aid recipients will decrease nearly 50 per cent by year's end, social service officials said yesterday.
Robert Harder, secretary of social and rehabilitation services (SRS), also predicted recipients in the state's aid-to-dependent-child program should hold steady or increase by no more than about 2.5 per cent through fiscal 1979.
Israel strongly rejects the idea of a Palestinian state being created in areas from which Israel might withdraw in a peace settlement, and only five or six of the Knesset members are known to support Palestinian statehood.

next fiscal year, do not seem to demand much of an SRS budget increase.
Harder said it was difficult to predict the favorable impact federal legislation creating jobs for youth and the poor might have on state welfare aid demands.
Bibb and Harder said they were hesitant to predict much of an over-all decline in assistance requests beyond the trend being driven by more stringent eligibility requirements.
In testimony at the governor's budget hearings, Harder said the department's fiscal 1978 supplemental funding request should be only slightly more than $1 million, compared to the near $23 million south last year. In addition, it requires requirements and a decrease in services
