He did not comment on speculation that Vance tried to persuade Sadat to send a top-level official to Israel to revive direct negotiations between the two countries and perhaps attend the funeral tomorrow of former Israeli Prime Minister Gold Meir.
Vance is to confer again today with Sadat and acting Egyptian Foreign Minister Buxhal Ghor before flying to Israel for Meir's funeral. Vance had expected to end his Mideast trip Wednesday after talks in Jerusalem with Israeli Prime Minister Menachem Begin, but Meir's death changed his plans.
Israelis pau tribute to Meir
JERUSALEM—Israel paid tribute yesterday to Golda Meir, the country's fourth prime minister and a giant of its founding generation. Plans were being made to build a new synagogue.
Sorrow over Meir's death Friday tinged national pride as Prime Minister Menachem Begin received the Nobel Peace Prize in a ceremony in Oslo, Norway.
Meir, 80, died of complications from lymphoma, a disease of the lymphatic glands. She kept her illness secret since it was first diagnosed 16 years ago.

Sadat's speech was by personal envoy Sayed Marri. Sadat had declined to come to Oslo to pick up the prize personally. The official explanation was that he was busy with the peace negotiations, but Egyptian officials said they wanted him to begin here while the talks were dwellled because of what Osman called a "crime."
Sadat, instead, was meeting yesterday in Egypt with Secretary of State Cyrus R. Vance.
In Stockholm, meanwhile, the nine other Nobel Prize winners in the sciences and literature received their awards and gold medals from King Carl Gustaf of Sweden.
Military plane crash kills 5
HOPKINSVILLE, Ky.-A military cargo plane crashed early yesterday morning in a farm field short of a runway at Fort Campbell Army base in southwestern Kentucky, killing all five crew members aboard, a military spokesman said.
Lt. Col. A.T. Brainerd, public information officer at the base, said the Air Force C-130 Hercules crashed while in a landing pattern.
The plane was en route to the base from the Little Rock, Ark. Air Force Base to participate in a training exercise with members of the 101st Airborne Division.
It was the seventh fatal crash of a C-130 from the Little Rock base since the planes were deployed in 1970.
J. M. Pendleton, whose house is about 200 yards from the crash site, said he heard a roar from the plane's engines followed by an explosion at about 7 a.m. CST yesterday. Only the tail of the aircraft remained intact after the crash, he said.
Venus data surprise scientists
The surprises came as scores of scientists at the Ames Research Center checked information relayed from five separate spacecraft during their descent Saturday to Venus' surface, as well as from one which remained in
MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif. — Information from Earth's latest encounter with Venus may force a complete revision of theories about how the solar system works.
Michael McElroy, a Harvard University physician and one of the experts studying the findings, said, "It's totally unexpected result that we've come up with in our research."
The scientists found that the Venusian atmosphere appears to contain argon 36 gas in proportions as much as 100 times greater than on Earth or Mars. The finding means that either Venus was formed from different substances than the rest of the solar system or the formation process itself was different.
Inmate-editor caught in the act

Prison officials last week discovered 200 copies of a political magazine that McCarthar had published. The issues, dated October 1978, were ready for mailing and featured endorsements of Kansas political candidates in the November general election.
Kenneth G. Oliver, prison director, said the magazine was printed without authorization and on misappropriated paper in the prison印刷展。
McCarthier is serving a 3-year-to-life sentence for unlawful possession of a firearm, an unlawful use of a firearm, first-degree robbery, corrupting or infiltrating.

MEMPHIS, Tenn. (AP) -- Democrats refused to repudiate the Carter administration's budget policies yesterday after Vice President Walter F. Mondale warned that inflation would drive them from office if they failed to deal with it.
Democrats back careful budgeting
At the closing session of the party's midterm convention, Mondale warned that if Congress failed to resolve the problem of inflation . . . or it will be driven out of office just as our predecessors were.
"Make the dollar worth a dollar," he said.
"We've got to respond to that overwhelming pain."
DELEGATES THEN rejected, 822 to 521, a resolution that would have put the party on record as supporting "an adequate budget to meet human needs in no case less than the current services budget for human and social services."
They approved a resolution on the federal budget, saying, "We believe it is essential that all areas of the budget - domestic as well as defense - be fully scrutinized and that a special effort be made to avoid unintended reductions in programs which aid the poor and the homeless." They also urged our urban areas. If errors are to be made, they would be on the side of avoiding
harm to those least able to protect them-selves."
DOUGLAS FRASER, president of the United Auto Workers and a principal backer of the substitute resolution, said the position of Fraser was based on "sanctions cuts in vital social services."
The final sentence echoed statements made here repeatedly by President Carter.
The inflation-conscious administration's allocation of budget resources has been the focus of the agency.
Its victory on the budget resolution ended the threat that the convention might adopt a position embarrassing to the Carter administration by preventing pressure from Sen. Edward M. Kennedy, D-Mass, and agreed to support a resolution opposing the 90th Congress of national health insurance.
The health insurance resolution was adopted after the budget session of 2015, and the administration's effort to obtain a peace treaty between Egypt and Israel and to negotiate an arms deal with Iran.
THE DELEGATES also put the party on record as supporting full congressional representation for the District of Columbia, and for making Jan. 15, the birthday of the

Jerome Friend, a Texas farmer and one of five American Agriculture Movement members named to serve as advisers to the Democritic Party's 1980 platform committee, said the move was meant to get a larger share of government that its farm policies were not working.
"The farmers are not too happy with the Carter administration in general." Fremal said. "The object of distributing the buttons is to inform the fact that we had better wake up."
Carlin speaks up for D.C.
MEMPHIS, Tenn. (AP)—Kansas Gov.lecter John Carlson yesterday urged fellow Democrats to support giving the District of Columbia voting representation in Congress.
Columbia voting representation was a nonpartisan issue.
In an address to the Democratic midterm
candidates, Martin spoke for
congressional vote rights.
"We tax them, yet we don't allow them to vote." Carlin said. "He added that the election was a challenge."
Carlin said those in the Midwest "have to be fair and support them, so the city of Washington and other urban centers around New York will support Kansas farm programs."
In an interview later, Carlin said the real benefit of the convention, which ended Sunday, had been the opportunity for rank-and-file students to talk with Carter administration officials.
