Rioters were reported to have tried to set fire to several buildings and a bank but were driven off by security forces. The official Pars news agency said a_ giant demonstration in the holy city of Mashhad, near the Soviet border 746 kilometres northeast of here, was kept under control by soldiers backed by armored vehicles. Thousands of demon- strators marched through the streets of Mashhad to protest the shooting of seven persons last week and the alleged maltréatment of a Mesiem religious leader. The general strike, called to maintain pressure on Shah Mohammad Reza Pahlavi and protest the actions of his troops in quelling riots, was backed by the opposition National Front, whose leader, Karim Sanjabi, is in - custody for allegedly inciting public dissent to the shah’s 37-year-old reign. Employees of the govern-: ment’s Central Bank here, nerve centre of Iran's monetary system, stayed off their jobs for the second straight day, crippling the country’s ability to conduct day-to-day financial affairs. The bank controls payments to government workers and to the many state-run in- dustries and handles govern- ment contracts. The bank's 600 white-collar workers walked out Saturday, demanding that the shah restore a civilian as head of the government, free all political prisioners and allow 78-year-old Ayatullah Ruholluh Kkomaini, spiritual leader of Iran's 32 million Shiite Moslems and the symbol of opposition to the shah, to return from his exile in Paris. Shops and bazaars, the centre of commercial ac- tivity in every Iranian town and city, were reported closed across the country Sunday, a normal workday in Iran, Food stores, bakeries and some phar- macies remained open. Troop reinforcements dis- patched to the centre of the capital blocked off all ap- proaches to the U.S. and British embassies. The British Embassy was set ablaze by rioters Nov. 5. The general strike put new iife into the opposition to the 59-year-ald-shah and the government -under Gen. Gholam Reza Azhari, ap- pointed by the monarch Nov. 6 to try to restore order after 10 months of bloody protests led by his polltical foes and Moslem religious leaders. CAIRO (AP) Egyptian President Anwar Sadat sald Sunday he believes his country and Israel will sign a peace treaty ‘‘sooner or later" despite the current deadlock in the Washington negotiations. “There are problems and it will take time but that does not mean I am pessimistic, not at -all,” Sadat told reporters. “Sooner or Later we shall be signing an agreement. This is a fact." But in Israel the state radiosaid Prime Minister . Menachem Begin reaf- firmed Israel's position in a cabinet meeting Sunday that there is no reason to send negotiators back to Washington at this point. Government spokesman Arieh Naor said Israel is awaiting Egypt's reply to the Israeli cabinet's decision last Tuesday rejecting Sadat’s proposal that a timetable for Palestinian selfrule in the West Bank of the Jordan River and the Gaza Strip, both Israeli-accupied Arab wrritories, be included in the peace treaty. Sadat’s statement Sunday was his first reaffirmation that a treaty is.-still possible. since the Israeli rejec- tion. The Israelis, in ef- fect, had given Egypt a ‘take it or leave it” TALKS STALL choice on a U.S.-proposed draft of a peace treaty. Sadat has ordered a top-level committee to reassess the Egyptian position in the nego- tiations in light of the Israeli decision. Thecommittee-—— comprising Egypt’s vice- president, prime minister, parliament speaker, defence minister and the country’s top two diplomats—met with Sadat at his Nile-side residence Sunday. Sadat said after the one-hour meeting he has “some observations” and Egypt will need until Tuesday to complete a reassessment he promised U.S. President Carter. Israel has said it is ready to sign the treaty and that negotiations are at an end, but Egypt has said it is dissatisfied with the current form of “linkage” made between the treaty, which would normalize relations be- tween the two countries, and negotiations on the Palestinian issue. The preamble of the U.S.-proposed draft says only that negotiations on the political future of the Palestinian-populated. West Bank and Gaza will begin after the treaty is signed. It gives mo specific timetable. Refugees flood Malaysian ports Kuala Trengganu, Malazsia (Reuter) -~ the head of a special force, set by the Malaysian government to cope with an influx of Vietnamese refugees, arrived at this east coast port Sunday to assess the situation. As Maj-Gen Datuk Ghazal Che Mat held discussions with local of- ficials, up to 10,000 Viet- namese in 70 boats were be- lieved to be waiting off the Malayasian coastlinefor a chance to sneak ashore. - Despite efforts to discourage the Vietnamese from landing, hundreds continue to get ashore daily because Malaysia lacks the resources to adequately po- lice its 800-kilometre coast. There now are about 40,000 Vietnamese in refugee settlements on off-shore islands and Malaysia says they are arriving at a much faster rate than other countries haye been pre- pared to accept them for re- settlement. Ghazali told reporters that he hopes to set up a cOo- ordinating headquarters to intensify coastal sur- velllance and obtain earwy warning of illegal §immi- grants. The rate of refugees arriving in Malaysia has increased in the last few months, reaching 10,000 in October and already ex- ceeding that number this month. Sea patrol is left to the navy, already heavily in- volved on the west coast keeping watch on the freighter Hai Hong where the first of 2,500 stranded refugees have been taken off to be flown to other coun- tries.
