Egypt urged to [ga
assure security ,q>

LONDON (AP) — The
United States will urge
Egypt to spell cut security
guarantees for Israel in new
Middle. East peace talks:
opening today behind the
walls of 8 medieval fortress
in southern England, U.S.
officials sald. .

The participanta—U.8.
State Secretary Cyrus Vance
and Foreign Ministers
Moshe Dayan of Israel and
Mohammed Ibrahim Kamel
of Exgypt—arrived
separately Monday behind a
shield of tough security and
flew by helicopter to isolated
Leeds Castle.

U.S. officials, who asked
not to be named, said Vance
hopes that specific
assurances from Egypt—
particularly on how to cope

. with extremists on the West

Bank of the Jordan River—
could lead to matching
Israeli concessions, -

* ~The purpose is to draw
Israeli Prime Minister
Menachem Begin into an
acknowledgement that
Israel will withdraw from
the West Bank, won’ from
Jordan in the 1967 Arab-
Israeli war.

An Israeli newspaper re-

rted Monday that
Egyptian President Anwar
Sadat's latest peace

, which have not
officially disclosed, call
for Israel to turn the West
Bank over to Jordan after
five years, with Israel,
Jordan and the Palestinians
jointly administering It in
the interim.

Sadat also would agree toa
continued Israeli military
presence inthe West Bark to
meet Israel's security needs,
the Jerusalem Post repor-
ted. The Egyptians have
denied repeatedly, however,
that they would accept a
continued stationing of
Israeli troops in the occupled
territories.

HOLD INFORMAL TALKS |

Vance, Dayan ‘and. Kamel
held brief informal talks
Monday night at the castle,
72 kilometres southeast of
here. Substantive
discussions begin this
morming, with Vance
planning to meet with the
Israeli and Egyptian both
separately and together.

Dayan, first to arrive in
London, told reporters;

“There is plenty of room for

discussion on both sides.”
Israel and Egypt have
publicly declared each
other's overall proposals for
a settlement to be unac-
ceptable. .- _
But Dayan, before a
helicopter took him to the
castle, said: ‘There are
some meeting points in the
two plans.”
. Troops in full battle dress,
backed up by tanks and troop
carriers,.guarded Heathrow
airport's perimeter for the
arrival of. Dayan and then
Kamel :

Vance flew in to an RAF
base in southeast England
from Bonn, West Germany,
where he altended a seven-
country economic summit
meeting. He arrived at
Leeds Castle within minutes
of Kamel ina large U.S. Air
Force helicopter gunship
with another as escort.

British officials in Bonn
said British Prime Minister
James Callaghan decided to
shift the site of the talks, first
scheduled for a central
London hotel, to the 13th:

century, moat-ringed castle .

because of concern about
possible disruption by Arab
extremists who oppose any
accommodation with Israel.

These officials insisted,
however, that no specific in-
telligence information
reached the British or U.S.
governments about any

nned terrorist attacks.

Leaders study
economic ills

BONN (CP) — Leaders of
the seven major industrial
countries were reported tc
have reached agreement
today on what U.S. Treasury
Secretary Michael
Blumenthal described as a
“concrete and concerted
action program" to deal with
world economic problems.

A communique, to be
issued after a final session
later today, is expected to
include specific targets for
economic growth, em-

‘ployment, and inflation in

each of the seven par-
ticlpsting countries, in-
cluding Canada.

Conference sources, who
asked not to be identified,
said West Germany would
promise td take action ta
increase its gross national
product—value of goods and
services produced— by one
percentage point beyond its
anticipated increase. But the
West German increase will
still be significantly lower
than the  four-per-cent
growth forecast for the
United States. However,
Weat German growth may
increase markets for North
American products.

President Carter told
reporters Sunday night,
after the first round of

meetings, that “the final
results of the deliberations
will be good."

West German Chanceller
Helmut Schmidt said a
separate statement to be
issued today would include
an agreement on new ap-
proaches to terrorism. He
offered no details,

Sources in key delegations
said the statement would list
anti-hijack measures, in-
cluding the banning of

commercial flights to
countries harboring
hijackers,

Blumenthal told reporters
summit agreements were
reached on economic
growth, inflation, em-
ployment, energy and in.
ternational monetary:
problems.

While the United States
was under pressure at the
summit to pledge
meaningful erergy con-
servation, West Germany
and Japan in particular were
presced by Carter to expand
their domestic economies
and create larger markets
for American exports.

Blumenthal said the
Germans and Japanese are
prepared to take substantia!
measures,. if necessary, to
satisfy Carter on that point.
