Israel takes tougher stand in negotiations JERUSALEM (AP) — Israel will take a tough and detailed proposal to Friday's opening negotlations with the United States and Egypt on Palestinian self-rule in the West Bank of the Jordan River and the Gaza strip, informed sources said Monday. The sources, asking not to be ‘named, said the Israeli cabinet adopted proposals that are even more specific than those drafted by Prime Minlster Ménachem Begin. ‘In Beirut, a communique from Yasser Arafat's Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO) said Israeli gunners and Leba- nese Christian militiamen fired on the Rashidiyeh Palestinian refugee camp and the town of Ras el Ein, about 19 kilometres north of the Israeli border. The communique gave no details on casuaities at the camp, which has an sestimated 13,000 Palestinians. The Israeli military comes said Israelt naval recently intercepted ‘.

Both men agreed to remain as members of the mission after pleas from other ministers. The sources said Dayan and Weizman agreed not to withdraw only if the cabinet adopted the plan as a set of guidelines and ‘not as an official working paper to be presented to Egypt. Naor sald Israel intends the self-rule scheme to apply only to the Palestinian inhabitants, with Israel continuing to contol the land and resources. He also said the plan, In accordance with the demands of Welsman and Dayan, is 4 set of guida Inga for negotiations, im: ing room for mangouvre nd compromise, a hah ad reel will demand the right to Chproprinte tt and uncultivated private land, apparently to make room for new Jewish settlements.

After an. lengthy. private meeting, the judges ‘unani- mously refused to stay Spenkelink's execution . They also denied Darden’s appeal by 4-to-3.

Robert Harper, lawyer for Darden, 45, also pursued various appeals, including one tothe Bartow, Fla. judge who sentenced Darden. Darden’s ‘lawyers con- tended in their brief to Florida's highest court that the clemency ‘process, in which the state cabinet considered whether to com- ‘mute the sentence to life, has denied their client due process of law, The state’ Supreme Court majority said that motion is without merit. - The three minority judges, -however, said Darden should be granted a two-day stay of execution to allow the case to . be argued, At the state prison, Supt. David Brierton told repor- ters outside the gate Monday that he would permit no interviews with any death row prisoners. Nor would he discuss any of the procedures leading up to the execution. “They should get some dignity on their way out," ’ Brierton said. . Legal experts said Darden, had more hope of escaping the chair than Spenkelink because his appeals had not gone as far. Spenkelink, a slender prison escapee from California, had four times been denied an appeal by the U.S. Supreme Court. Spenkelink was convicted | of killing his travelling companion, Joseph Syz- mankiewicz, in Tallahassee in 1973. Darden was con- victed of killing a Lakeland merchant, James Turman, during a 1973 holdup. - Death warrants for both men were signed Friday by Florida Gov. Bob Graham, who sald: ‘There will be less brutality in our society if it is made clear we value human life." Death penalty foes con- tinued their altack on Graham's action. A small group kept vigil outside the governor's mansion: and then moved to the door: of his office where they knelt in prayer. David Mack of Florida Citizens Against the Death Penalty likened Graham to deposed Ugandan dictator. " Idi Amin, the ousled shah of ‘fan and the shah's . ~ Suc cessor.
