Egyptian president makes historic visit

JERUSALEM (AP) —
Egyptian President
Anwar Sadat, in a
history-making ap-
pearance before Israel’s
parliament, told the
world Sunday that he
welcomes the Jewish
state to live in peace and
safety alongside Arabs in
the Middle East.

“You want to live with
us in this part of the
world, and I welcome you
among us in all safety
and security,’’ Sadat
sombrely told the massed
leaders of a couniry the
Arabs have fought and
vilified since it was
founded 29 years ago.

His appearance in
Israel was unthinkable
less than two weeks ago,
before. Sadatmade his
drami ffer te
here. Much of the Arab
world raged at the visit, a
fury that escalated Sun-
day into calls for his
assassination as a traitor,

‘Sadat brought with him
no startling news
proposals, but the drama
was in the occasian itself.

Israeli Prime Minister
Menahem Begin,
following Sadat to the
rostrum of the Knesset,
called on Arab leaders to
open peace negotiations
and declared:
“Everything must be
negotiated and can he
negotiated.” But he of-
fered no major con-
cessions.

Begin hailed Sadat for
his ‘‘courage of heart” in
coming to Israel. ‘“‘We
Jews appreciate courage,
and we will know how to
appreciate our visitor's
courage,” he said.
READY TO TRAVEL

He invited other Arab
leaders to follow the
Egyptian’s example and
added that he personally
is prepared to go ta
Damascus, Amman or
Beirut, the capitals of
neighborin Syria,
Jordan or Lebanon.

The globally-televised
Knesset speech was the

NEW YORK (Reuter)
— Two of the late Joan
Crawford's four adopted
children went to court

Thursday to try to
discredit the film ac-
tress’s will, saying she
lacked sound mind and
memory when drafting
the document that leit

‘In documents filed in

Greenport, N.Y., allege a

third adopted child and.

her husband took ad-
vantage of Miss
Crawford’s weakened

Miss Crawford left the
bulk of her estate to

political climax of
Sadat’s visit to Israel, a
land no Arab leader had
visited hefore.- -

For nearly an hour,
Sadat held the packed
Knesset hall in thrall as
he read stiffly and for-
cefully from a prepared
Arabic text. Rabbis in
skulleaps, Arabs in
flowing headcloths, army
generals who had battled
Egypt, present and for-
mer government leaders,
diplomats and journalists
listened through ear-
phones.

His visit, Sadat
declared, was an “im-
portant juncture in the
history of the world.”

He acknowledged that
in the past the Arabs had

sto.” meet. . its”. repre-
sentatives, rejected its
legitimacy and com-

municated only through
mediators.

But then he declared:
“T wish to tell you today
and I proclaim to the
whole world: We accept
to live with you in a
lasting and just peace.”

He said this cannot be
possible without Israeli
withdrawal from
Jerusalem and all other
lands occupied in 1967,
and the creation of a
homeland for the
Palestinians. These are
the core Arab demands.
HECKLED TWICE

Begin made no con-
cession on the Palestinian
question. On the con-
trary, he said the Hebrew
word for Palestine is
“Eretz Israel’’—the land
of Israel. Twice he was
heckled by Communists
in the Knesset who
demanded that he am-
plify his intentions on the
Palestinians.

In reference to the
Israeli-occupied Arab
territories, he said: “We
did not take any strange
lands, We only retumed
to our own land.’’

Members of _ the
Egyptian delegation were
openly disappointed that
Begin had not made a
more positive response to
Sadat’s bold gamble in
coming to Jerusalem.

“T'm disgusted,” said one
Egyptian.

But to the Israelis in the
hall and to the millions of
television viewers around
the world, the
Significance of the day
was not in what the
leaders said but rather in
the unprecedented
spectacle of the president
of the largest Arab
country openly  ex-
changing conditions for
peace with the leader of
Egypt's bitterest foe.

It was for this symbolic
breakthrough that Sadat
gambled with his political
uture and it was a theme
he stressed in his ad-
dress.

There is a “com-

licated psychological

rrier. between us and
you,” he told the Israelis,
“a barrier of skepticism,
of revulsions, of the fear
of deceitiulness, of
delusions about any
action or decision that’s
to be taken.”
PULL IT DOWN

That wall is 70 per cent
of the problem, Sadat
said. “And I would like to
ask you today .... why
don’t we extend our
hands in honesty and
sincerity and good faith
so that we may pull down
this barrier?”

The Egyptians had said
Sadat was bringing new
proposals to Israel, and
although none of these
surfaced in his speech,
Begin and Sadat held
several private meetings
and it was possible some
new initiatives were
discussed.

Sadat arrived at the
Knesset after early-
moming worship at the
Al-Aqsa mosque, a visit
to the Christian Church of
the Holy Sepulchre and a
tour of Yad Vashem, the
huge monument _ to
Jewish victims of Nazi
Germany.

Sadat’s —_precedent-
shattering visit to a state
with which he is still
formally at war began
Saturday night with his
arrival at Ben-Gurion
Airport to trumpet
fanfares and a full-dress
state welcome by the

today. .

Within three hours of
his arrival, he held his
first private meeting with
Regin. They talked again
Sunday morning.

After spending the
night at the King David
Hotel in Jerusalem’s
Jewish quarter, Sadat, a

‘deeply religious man,

rose early to celebrate
the Moslem feast of Adha
at the silver-domed Al-
Aqsa mosqie.

More than 5,000 wor-
shippers crowded the
mosque. The imam, or
religious leader, ap-
pealed for Arab unity,
uoting from the Koran:
“Do not quarrel for your
strength will dissipate.”

DEMONSTRATORS
SEIZED

After he left, a few
hundred Arab youths
began shouting: ‘‘Sadat,
don't block the Pale-
stinian cause for money.”’
They were dispersed by
police and several
demonstrators were ar-
rested.

Sadat then drove to the
Yad Vashem memorial,
the blackmarble
monument in East Je-
rusalem housing records
and exhibits of the
slaughter of six million
Jews in Nazi death
camps.

The tour of the shrines
of Islam, Judaism and
Christianity underscored
what Sadat called the
“sacred” character of his
trip. It was a theme to
which he returned in his
Knesset speech:

“All of us on this earth, #3
this earth of God, we are +

all Moslems, Christians
and Jews, we all worship
God and the
mandments of God and
the principles of God are
all true and pure and they
mean peace,”’ he said.

All across the Arab
world and in Israel, life
came te a standstill as
millions of people lis-
tened to Sadat’s offer of
peace to the Israelis.

The Syrian-backed
Saigqa Palestinian

statement in Beirut

MONTREAL (CP)—A
spokesman for -— the
Qeubec commission of
inquirry into illegal
police activities said
today the commission
Imew nothing about
RCMP involvement in a
reported plan to hijack an
Air Canada jet in 1972.

Hoiwever, the
spokesman said lawyers
and the commissioner
were aware of the
hijacking plan and of an
RCMP operation, code-
named Operation Renald,
which prevented it.

Details of the plan were
contained in a Montreal
dispateh teday in The
Toronto Star. The
newspaper said RCMP

officers were involved in |

the scheme to hijack the

jet.
The commission
spokesman said

someone involved in the
hijacking’? may ahve
given information for the
published reports.

But he said no witness
at commission hearings
had said anything about
the involvement of RCMP
aghents or provocateurs
in the scheme,

“We knew about the
plan but there was never

any question — of
provocation,’’ the
spokesman siad.

“T can state

cateforically, without eh
slightest reserve, that no
one has come to tell us
anything about this
matter, either in public or
at closed-door hearings,”
he added.

He also said no one had

RCMP involved in hijacking

Liberal party mainly
through its strength in
Quebec.

In a Montreal dispatch,
the newspaper says the
proposeeed hijacking
never took place and the
report says the hijackers
were to demand the
release of Quebec
terrorists held in
Canadian prisons.

The Star says the
Keable commission,
investigating alleged
illegal police activities in
Quebec, will be told in
Montreal teday that one
or more of the vie men
who planned to hijacking
were RXMP agents —
provacateur or informers
who had infiltrated a ceil
of the Front do Liberation
du Quebec (FLKQ)).

It says the commission
will be told that plans had
advanced to the stage
where the cell group had
agreed to kill a passenger
as a show of deter-
mination. :

The Star quotes one of
the would-be hijackers as

saying:

“We decided the one we
would shoot would be the
fattest passenger as the

most obvious symbol of -
the capitalist
establishemtnt.” ;

The hijacking was first
suggested by one of the
informers arid was to be
carried out during a
Toronto stopover on a
late afternoon Montreal-
to-Vancouver flight.

The group planned to
demand the release of
about a dozen Quebec
terrorists —
Canadian jails, $500,000
on cash and a plane to
take them to Algeria or
Cuba, the newspaper

SAYS.
Keable commission
told the Star the hijacking
scheme was wet in
operation after four
public opinion polls taken
tween May and early
fall of 1972 showed the
Liberal party was in
trouble in Quebec while
the Parti Quebecois was
gaining strength.

Some sources said the
hijacking would have
been another crtisis in the
unsettled Quebec
political climate and
might have tumed
Quebecers away from the
separatist movement. -
