Middle East in conflict .

JERUSALEM (AP) —
Prime Minister
Menahem Begin tock
Anwar Sadat up on his
offer to visit Israel and
invited the Egyptian

esident to address the

aeli parliament.

Begin spoke Sunday,

endorsed a recent Soviet-
U.S. declaration as a
basis for a new Geneva
peace conference.

“Tf President Sadat
wants an official in-
vitation from me, he has
it,’ Begin told reporters
after the weekly meeting
of his cabinet. But “this
gesture should not be
exaggerated; President
. Sadat has not yet decided
to come,” Begin said.

Twice last week, Sadat
expressed willingness to
go to Israel if his trip
would give impetus to the
Geneva conference he
and President Carter are
so eager to have con-
vened this year. But he
told visiting US.
congressmen Saturday
that he had not been
officially invited.
SENDS CARTER NAME

Sadat also said
Saturday he has sent
Carter the name of a
Palestinian-American
professor who would be
acceptable to PLO leader
Yasser Arafat as the
‘Tepresentative of the

Paiestinians at Geneva.
The Israeli foreign
minister rejected the
proposal, but Begin said:

“If it comes to a con-
crete proposal, connected
with a name, we musi
first hear the name in
order to make a deci-
sion.”

"Sadat did not identify
the professor but said he
is a US. _ citizen.
However, informed
sources in Cairo said he is
a PLO member, and
Begin reiterated Israel’s
refusal to negotiate with
PLO delegates at
Geneva.

Said Kamal, head of the
PLO’s Cairo office, teld a
meeting of Arab foreign
ministers in Tunis
Sunday that his organ-
ization is prepared to co-
operate in new Geneva
talks if the United
Nations invites Palestin-
ian representatives on
the basis of the Soviet-
U.S. declaration.

Sisters fight fires

CLARENDON
HEIGHTS, il. (AP) —
Their father was a fire
chief and their childhood
home once doubled as a
fire station. So sisters
Diana Casey and Debbie
Jeffry feel they’re just
doing what comes
naturally— fighting fires.

The women are
members of the volunteer
fire department of this
unincorporated area west
of Chicago.

“For three years the
fire department was in
our home until a station
could be built,” says Mrs.

Casey, 26-
mother of two.
“The whole fire

department system was
at the house—a couple of
fire engines, six phones
and a 100-foot siren tower
in the back yard. Fire
drills were held at the
house every Friday
night.”

Now the sisters are
poing through what might

called

a second
childhood.
“We answer more than

a dozen emergency calls
a month, either for
ambulance service or
firefighting,” says Mrs.
Jeffry, who works for a
chemical company.
“Occasionally, Diana and
I wind up on the same fire
truck answering an
alarm. And we're
together at fire drills on
Friday and Sunday.”

Like the other 30
volunteers, the sisters
are on call around the
eleck and are placed on
alert by remote telephone
pagers—ar respond to the
ire siren. Their
firefighting gear is kept
at the station.

“We're trained in all
facets of firefighting, and
we're both practising for
licences to drive the fire
trucks, like we do the
ambulance,” Mrs. Casey
says. ;

‘Sometimes, I'll be out
fighting fires early in the
morning before I go to
work,” says Mrs. Jeffry.
“Helping out in emer-
gencies is a good way to
start the day.”

Help wanted

SYDNEY (AP) —
Australia’s secret in-
telligence agen
recently condemned in a
government study as
mcompetent, poorly led
and antiquated, has
turned to the help-wanted
columns of newspapers to
recruit a new crop of
spies.

“Officers can be ex-
pected to undertake
duties directly related to
statutory responsibilities
in regard to espionage,
sabotage, an sub-
version, includ
terrorism,’’ said a recent
advertisement.

Applicants must be 2t
or over, have a university

degree, preferably in the ©

social sciences, and he
stable, mature, discreet
and objective.

The salary for ap-
- prentice spies is about
$12,000 a year.

An Austrailian Security
Intelligence Organization
official, contacted at the
ASIO headquarters in
Melbourne, confirmed
the ad had run in major

Australian newspapers
but refused to say how
many spies the agency
wants. -

“FT cannot make an
comment heyond what it
says in the ad,” he said.

Until recently, the
organization’s existence
was never mentioned.
Then hard times, in the
form of a 2-year
government study, befell
the organization.

Last October, a royal
commission on security
and intelligence released
a blistering report that
found the ASIO to be an
incompetent and
bungling organization,
with poor leadership and
morale.

But the commission
said Australia was
seriously threatened by
spies, foreign agents,

“We agree to par-
ticipate in the Geneva
peace conference -
provided UN Secretary-

neral Kurt Waldheim,
in the name of the two
superpowers, invites the
representatives of the
Palestinian people as

of e Arab
delegation to the ‘con-
ference," Kamal said.

Marxist Palestinians of
the Popular Democratic
Front for the Liberation
of Palestine claimed
responsibility for the.two
bombs that exploded Sun-
day in Jerusalem and
said they were in
retaliation for the Israeli
air strikes that killed 110
Palestinians and
Lebanese in southern
Lebanon last week.

One bomb, in the Old
City’s Christian quarter,
ripped through the top
floor of a twostore
building, killed an Ara
student and wounded four
persons. The second

omb exploded abcut

Jewish suburb of Talpiot
across the street from a
nursery school. An Arab
teen-ager was killed and
a man was injured.

_ Prince
Charles
older

LONDON (Reuter) —
Prince Charles spent a
wiet day at Windsor
stie today, celebrating
his 29th birthday.

The heir to the British
throne had suffered
during the weekend from
an attack of food puoi-
soning he contracted in
Australia. .

The prince returned
last week from a 24-day
tour of the United States
and Australia and will in-
spect the Welsh Guards. in
West Germany at the end
of this week.

His break in England
probably was arranged to
coincide with the birth of
a child to sister Princess
Anne. The birth is ex-
pected in the next few
days.

Many. Britons, spurred
on by the popular press,
have long delighted in
speculation over who will
marry Prince Charles
and become their nex
queen. .

Anti-dam

film

PRINCE GEORGE,
B.C. (CP) — The British
Columbia Wildlife
Federation unveiled a
$30,000 film Saturday in
its campaign against a
dam on the McGregor’
River, about 80 kilo-,
metres east of this
central B.C. city.

The proposed dam,
being studied by B.C.
Hydro, would divert
water from the McGregor
River away from the
Fraser and into the
Williston Reserv
where it would be used to
increase power produc-
tio on the .W. A C.
Bennett Dam on the
Peace River. '

About 70 people saw the
22-minute film, written
and narrated by Mike
Halleran, a former CBC
producer,

Bill Otway, director of
the 21,-000-me
federation, said the film
is the best way to get
across his organization's
concern, ,

‘You can talk to people
and write a million words
on something like this,’’
he said, “but when you
ean actually see the
damage it makes all the
difference in the world.’

chemical warfare

WASHINGTON (AP) —
A US. government
scientist saya it is
possible terrorists can
carry out mass . an-
nihilation with nuclear
weapons or biological or
chemical agents.

“There is no doubt that
mass annihilation is
feasible, and resourceful,
fechni¢ally-oriented
thugs are capable of
doing it,’ Robert Kup-
perman wrote in a report
released during the

weekend by- the Law
Enforcement Assistance
Administration (LEAA). °
“The techniques for
control and detection of
nuclear materials are
much better than those
for chemical or biological
agents,” he wrote.
“Chemicals of great
toxicity are so widely
used in farm and factory
that preventing acoess te
such agents by poten
terrorists is an
unachievable goal.”

all Canadian airlines have to keep going

while “Old Man Winter” tries to make things
difficult. That means special winterized

imagine the heating bill lor a hanger that's
