Today’s byelections are crucial |

Federal byelections today
in far-flung parts of the
country could be critical to
the future of the Progressive

Sadat

WADI RABA, Egypt (AP)
~~ President Anwar Sadat
appealed from the foat of
Mount Sinai today to the
peoples of the world to strive
for ‘goodness and the
avoidance af bloodshed,
violence and hatred.”

In a 1i-minute speech
marking the second an-
niversary of his trip to
Jerusalem, the Egyptian
president praised President
Carter and Prime Minister
Menachem Begin of Israel
for making peace between
Egypt and Israel possible.

Noting that Moses,
regarded as a prophet by
Islam, Christianity and
Judaism, is said to have
received the Ten Com-
mandments on Mount Sinai,
Sadat said:

“In this place chosen by
God Almighty, where the
three faiths descended, here
we have the reaffirmation of
the noblest values of men:
Tolerance and coexistence
between peoples,

“T announce this place
open as of today to all
believers, to all the faithful
from the three faiths, with no
restrictions so that they may
come and address the Lord."

About 500 guests flew into
the southern Sinai for the
ceremony, including Israeli
officials and a U.S.
delegation led by Robert
Strauss, outgoing Middle
East envoy,

Israel, which captured the
Sinai desert in 1967, turned
over the Mount Sinai portion
of southern Sinai to Egypt
last Thursday, two months
ahead of schedule, so Sadat
could hold the anniversary

about 44,000 will decide a
successor of former Con-
servative prime minister
John Diefenbaker, who died
earlier this year at 93.

In the Newfoundland

about 37,000 electors will be
replacing former federal
minister Don Jamieson, who
undertook to lead provincial
Liberals ina general election
only weeks after he had won

riding of Burin-St. George's,

ihe seat in the May 22 federal

general election.

Although Diefenbaker held
Prince Albert without a
break from 1953 until his
death and although the
Newfoundland riding has
voted Liberal since the

province entered Con-
federation in 1949, neither is
a sure seat this time.

And in both cases the New
Democratic Party appears
to be the squeak in the
political wheel,

praises peace moves

celebration. Under an
agreement between the two
countries, Jews, Christians
and Moslems will be allowed
to visit the historic site.

It was the fourth of six
withdrawals that will return
twothirds of the peninsula to
Egyptian control by early
next year. Then the two
countries are to establish
diplomatic relations,

Despite improving

EgyptianIsraeli relations,
little progress has been
made in'the second phase of
the peace effort — ne-
gotiations to formulate a
plan for Palestinian self-
government in the occupied
West Bank of the Jordan
River and in the Gaza Strip.

Israel raised new ob-
stacles to the negotiations
last week by arresting one of
the leading Arab mayars in
the West Bank before

deporting him and by an-
nouncing plans to build more
Jewish settlements in the
territory. Sadat indicated,
however, that he still
believes agreement on an
autonomy plan will be
reached before next May,
the target date set in the
peace agreement.
Meanwhile, the
Palestinians took note of
Sadat's anniversary with
two bombings in Jerusalem

and an altempt to send
guerrillas into Israel by sea,

An Israeli patrol boat blew
the guerrillas’ rubber dinghy
out of the water off Ahziv, six
kilometres south of the
Lebanese border, recovered
the bodies of two
Palestinians and picked u
two survivors. ;

In Jerusalem, two bombs
exploded on buses and
hospitals reported 11
wounded.

Nitro stash found in house

POINT PLEASANT,
W.Va, (AP) — A state police
convoy transporting 2%
gallons of volatile
nitroglycerin temporarily
came to a halt early today
when authorities learned
residents of this stnali Ghio
River community had not
been notified of potential
danger.

But after a 40-minute
delay, the convoy resumed
its Journey when city af-
ficials decided not to
evacuate any of the 6,122
residents, and the explosive
was safely delivered to a
ammunition dump in Mason
County,

Many people living within
100 metres of the route were
briefly evacuated as a state
police cruiser modified with
a blast shield and escorted
by a halfdozen patrol cars,
moved past on its 112-
kilometre journey.

Officials said the
nitroglycerin was found in a
Putnam County house
Sunday afternoon, but what

it was doing there was not
determined immediately.

“It is my understanding
that a man just moved inte
the house and he didn't know
what it was,” said state
police Set. R.E. Jones.

“An anal;/sis was run on it
and we are treating it as nit-
roglycerin,”’ Cpl. J.L.
Brannon said,

It was not immediately
determined what will be
done with the material,

Jones said the
nitroglycerin “is in liquid
form, but itis padded and the
man handling it is satisfied
that it is stable,’’

Point Pleasant Mayor
John Musgrave said town
officials were first notified of
the convoy about 10 p.m.
Sunday when state police
asked that streets along a
proposed route be blocked
off. But by 1 a.m., Musgrave
said, state police asked
people living along the route
be evacuated,

‘With the convoy so close
and traffic already backed

up, Musgrave said officials
agreed it would be best to
move carefully through

town.

“Getting all of those
people out into the streets
would have created 100 times
the traffic problem,"’

Musgrave said. “We cer-
tainly would have com-
plicated a problem that went

smoothly,”’

The convoy's destination
was an active ammunition
dump at the McClintic Game
Preserye near Point
Pleasant. The route cut
through primarily rural
areas of west-central West
Virginia, but a section of
Interstate 64 between-
Hurricane and Winfield was
closed while the bomb truck
crossed,

Pope to talk Turkey

VATICAN CITY (AP) —

The Vatican says the visit
Pope John Paul will make to
Turkey next week will

reunion of the Roman

Catholic and Eastern Or-
thedox churches.

The Pope announced
during his noon blessing in
St, Peter’s Square on Sunday

“to participate in
celebrations honoring St.
Andrews, the patron saint of
the Church of Con-
stantinople,” _ .

. The pontiff said he will
also visit the shrine to the
Virgin Mary at Ephesus, in

western Turkey, where the

Third Ecumenical Council in
431 proclaimed her the
mother of God.

The three-day visit, the
fourth taken by John Paul
since he became Pope in
October, 1978, will begin
Nov, 28, Vatican sources
said,

The Pope said the Vatican
is on the eve of “a theological
dialogue with the venerable
Orthodox churches to
overcome together the
differences still existing
between them,"

Pairiarch Demetrius ex-
pressed “deep joy” over the
papal visit. A source in the
Greek Orthodox Patriar-
chate in Istanbul said ‘‘the
personality of the ruling
Pope gives new hope” for
ending the schism between
the churches that has existed
for 925 years.

The Roman Catholic and
Eastern Orthodox churches
split in 1054 when many
Christian churces in the
West decided to recognize
the bishop of Rome as
supreme over other bishops.
The decision ‘resulted in
mutual excommunication
orders by Pope Leo IX’ and
Patriarch Michael
Caerularius of Con-
stantinople, the name for
Istanbul until 1930,

The Roman Catholic
Church now has 600 million
members, while Eastern
Orthodoxy has 200 million
followers. Papal authority is
still the chief issue in dispute
between the two churches,
which generally share the
same beliefs but have vari-
ations in religious practices.
In the Eastern Church, the
liturgy is usually sung and is
not celebrated every day,
and married men can be
ordained allhough marriage
is forbidden after ordination.

Soviets nab
dissidents

.: TORONTO (CP) — Soviet
secret police are conducting
ahass arrests to keep
dissidents away from foreign
Visitors during the 1960
Olympics in Moscow, says
Raisa Moroz, the wife of
exiled Ukrainian dissident
Valentyn Moroz.

Tn an interview Saturday,
Mrs. Moroz said through an
interpreter that the KGB
have begun a ‘'slean-up
campaign’ in an attempt to
slop dissidents fram com-
- municating with the Western
world.

Mra, Moroz and Nada
Svitlychna, a former Soviet
high school principal -who
was jailed for anti-Soviet
agitation and propaganda,
spoke during the weekend at
a Free Ukralnian. World
Congress convention.

Mrs, Moroz, who arrived
in New York in August as
part of a trade between the
United States and the Soviet
Union of political prisoners,
their families and Russian
spies, said most former
Political prisoners agree
about half of those In custody
are Ukrainian, She saii the
number of prisoners ‘a the
Soviet Union is not known.

With the Conservatives in
a minority position in Ottawa
holding only 136 ef the 292
Commons seats, losing both
contests would leave -them
with a bare one-vote edge,
including the support they
have so far been given by
five Social Credit MPs,

The Liberala have 113
seats, including the non-
yating Speaker, and the NDP

5 26. ,

Tn Prince Albert, the Con-
servatives have their hopes
pinned on Kris Eggum, a 41-
yearold lawyer whose big
pitch has been that the
voters should pick a man
who will be a member of the
government, nat the opposi-

on. ;
But both he and Liberal.

Clyde Harradence, a widely-
known 54-year-old lawyer,
have little political ex-
perience on which to draw.
The man with the ex-
perlence is Stan Hovdebo, a
54-year-old school
nolnistrator who drought the
NDP within 4,000 votes of
defeating Diefenbaker Ma
22 with a well-oiled, hard-
working election machine.
Fourth on the ballot is
littleknown Calgary
salesman John DeBruyne.
Walter Carter, former
federal MP and former
provincial fisheries
minister, is carrying the
Btrong hopes of the Con-
servatives in Burin-St.
George's against less ex-
perienced Roger Simmons
for the Liberals and Dave
MacKinnon for the NDP.
The unknown force here is
the strength shown by the
NDP in electing Fonse Faour
as their first provincial MP
in a byelection and then in
the general election last

ar.

WORKED FOR DIEF

Harradence makes as
much as he can out of having
articled under Diefenbaker
and later having joined his
law firm while making as
little as he can out of having
Pierre Trudeau as federal
Liberal leader,

Harradence says frankly a
campaign visit by Trudeau
— he didn’t get one — would
have filted any hall in the
riding to overflowing, but
likely would cost him votes.

Both Liberal and NDP
camps are taking great
comfort trom a visit to
Prince Albert Wednesday by
Prime Minister Joe Clark
who, they say, drew fewer
than 500 to hear him speak.

Both consider the turnout
to hear a prime minister
very weak although
Eggum'’s campaign
manager, Gord Dobr-
owolsky, said the number at-
tending was closer to 700 and
that Diefenbaker had seldom
come aa close as Clark to
filling the same hall.

In Burin-St. George's, Ed
Broadbent, national NDP
leader, visited scattered
settlements with MacKin-
non, a wellknown 92-year-old
founding organizer of the
Newfoundland Fishermen,
Food and Allied Workers
Union.

Simmons, 39, like Carter
left provincial politics to run
in this byelection, but while
Carter got personal support
from Transport Minister
Don Mazankowski and
Senator Jack Marshall,
Simmons did without major
national support.

BRIEFS |

ST, PETERSBURG, Fla.
(AP) — In practical terms,
the straw vote held at
Florida's, Demecratic
convention this weekend
didn’t mean a thing.

But supporters of the
president — saying they're
“exhilarated, excited and
thrilled’? — say they're
ready to beat the challenger
from Massachusetts in this

“southern atate that helped

put Jimmy Carter in the
White House three years

Both sides are bracing for
a bruising battle for
Florida’s 100 delegates to the
Democratic national ¢con-
vention, to be held in New

York City next summer.
Those delegates will be
chosen in. the state primary
March 11 in which registered
Democrats vote.

‘We have to take our case
for the president to every
single voter in the state,”
shid Jay Hakes, Carter's
Florida campaign manager.
“We'll have te have a much
wider audience than we've
had up to this point.”

Carter's allies were
pleased with the lopsided
victory he scored. over
Senator Edward Kennedy on
the straw ballot Sunday as
the three-day convention

‘came to a close with the

atmosphere of a Carter
campaign rally. ’

“Churchill's man reveals yet

It quoted Sir John Colville,
secretary to the wartime
British prime minister, as
saying he had helped un-
cover a top civil servant who
‘had given information to
Guy Burgess, who fled to
Moscow in 1961,

Colville described him as
