Carter: Peace talks open to all
WASHINGTON (AP)—The Carter administration has served notice on Israel that no territory, including the occupied West Bank of the Jordan River, can be automatically excluded from Middle East peace talks.
"to automatically exclude any territory under dispute would be contrary to the principle of negotiating without preconditions," the State Department said yesterday in a statement cleared by the White House.
At the same time, the administration warned both sides to the dispute that "they will have to make a difficult compromise" and if there is no progress this year toward a negotiated peace then "future disaster" could envelop the Middle East.
Department spokesman Hoddling Carter said that by this he meant "the resumption of the work."
Carter said Israel had been advised that the administration interpreted pertinent United Nations resolutions as requiring Israel to withdraw on all fronts—the Sinai, Golan Heights and Gaza, as well as the West Bank.
THE STATEMENT CALLED again for creation of a Palestinian "homeland."
Menahem Begin, the new Israeli prime minister, has indicated his government would be extremely reluctant to give up the West Bank, which the governing Likud bloc considers to be part of historical Israel and is by the biblical names Sarmat and Judaea.
Administration officials insisted privately that the statement projected no new policy elements, but they said recent remarks by them correlated them and seemed contradictory.

Sen. Jacob Javits, R-N.Y., an avowed supporter of Israel, asserted over the weekend that the administration's peace ideas for the Middle East were unrealistic and likely to increase rather than lessen the danger of renewed war. He said that too many concrete concessions had been demanded of Israel.
The timing of the statement seemed calculated to both deflect criticism of the administration and set the stage for hopelessness. When he visits President Carter in mid-July,

between the parties to the Middle East conflict.
The lengthy statement, read by spokesman Carter in response to a general question about the Middle East at the department's daily briefing session for reporters, said the only "true security" for any country is "true peace" negotiated
Opponents of withdrawal have argued it would shrink existing buffers between Israeli population centers and the Arab states that have Israel encircled.
THE WEST BANK, Sinal, Gaza and a portion of the Golden Goals were won by the United States.
"To automatically exclude any territory from negotiations strikes us as contradictory in principle," said a well-placed official who barred use of his name.
Credits, sacrifice in energy plan
WASHINGTON (AP) - The House Ways and Means Committee approved a tax credit of up to $400 yesterday for persons who insulate and weatherize their existing homes. A tax credit of up to $2,150 was voted on Tuesday to use the sun or wind as an energy source.
And, agreeing with President Jimmy Carter that there can be no national energy policy without sacrifice, the committee recommended a reduction for state and local gasoline taxes.
The committee, in the final stage of work on Carter's energy-tax proposals, approved 20,17, a modified version of the proposed credit recommended by the President.
If upled by Congress, elimination of the deduction would mean a tax increase averaging $38 for 18.6 million couples or individuals—all of whom will itemize deductions—in 1978. The tax increase would be about $80 by 1985.
A person could reduce his income tax as much as $400 by installing better insulation,
storm windows and doors, a more efficient furnace burner, a clock thermostat or heating element, and
The credit would be for 20 percent of the first $2,000 of expenditures between April 20, 1977, and the end of 1982. The tax break would be available only for additions to an existing home—whatever owner or rented—and not for installation in a home under
The insulation credit, originally considered to be one of the most popular parts of the Carter tax plan, was approved after a court order called it an unnecessary waste of money.
The Carter administrationestimates this would cost the government $3 billion in lost taxes during the 5% years and save the equivalent of 320,000 barrels of oil a day.
They contended middle-and upper-income persons needed no further incentive to insulate because the fuel saving would be incentive enough.
Opponents, led by Rep. Fortine Stark, D-Calif., said most of the $3 billion would end up in the pockets of a handful of insulation manufacturers.
Poor families can't take advantage of the tax break in any case, they said.
On a 16-10 vote, the committee approved a credit of up to $2,150 for purchases of solar or windmill-operated equipment for solar cooling or generating electricity in a home.
The credit would be for 30 per cent of the first $1,500 of expenditures and 20 per cent of the next $6,500. The credit would be for 40 per cent of a existing home or one under construction.
Unlike deductions, which are subtracted from a person's gross income, a credit is subtracted directly from the final tax bill. Because of this, if the county committee voted 20-14 to stick to the position taken earlier this month; that if the nation is really serious about reducing energy consumption, it makes no sense for a county committee to give a tax advantage to users of gasoline.

WASHINGTON (UPI)—Eight oil companies hinted briefly yesterday they might shut down the Alaska pipeline unless they had approved transportation fees they had proposed.
Justice Department lawyers and ICC staff members joined the state of Alaska and an organization of Alaskan natives in the U.S. to own all company rates as illegally excessive.
The companies, owners of the pipeline, issued, then backed away from, their interests.
