XL, ll strained GERBER'S 4T llc fn JERUSALEM (AP) Israel decided Sunday to ask Egypt to clarify its offer to open the Suez Canal in return for a partial withdrawal of Israeli troops.

At a Cabinet meeting, the government also agreed to have Premier Golda Meir issue a "political statement" in the Knesset (parliament) on Tuesday. This was interpreted as heralding an official response to the Egyptian offer, made Thurs-dav by President Anwar Sadat. Informants said that although Ttiot ministers consider fhe Cairo proposal serious, they feel Israel should not close the door on any possibilities it might represent. The sources said Isreal would seek a clarification of what the Egyptians mean by "partial withdrawal." Cairo would be asked if this means reduction of Israeli troops on the east bank of the Suez Canal or a rollback to a new line somewhere east of the Suez Canal in the Sinai Desert. The request for amplification from Cairo would be made through Dr.

Gunnar V. Jarring the U.N. Middle East envoy conducting indirect negotiations among Israel, Egypt and Jordan in New York. REVIEWS SITUATION A government statement said Foreign Minister Abba Eban reviewed political developments at the Cabinet meeting, including an analysis of the Sadat announcement. Sadat's position included an extension of the Mideast ceasefire until March 7 and called for oartial withdrawal of Israeli forces bv that date as a first stane of comolete evacuation from war-won Arab lands.

He said Egypt would be prepared to onen the canal to international shipping after Jerusalem met this condition, but he did not say if Israeli vessels could use the waterway, some thing Israel demands. In Cairo, Mashour Ahmed Mashour, head of the Suez Ca Belfast, where at least five persons were slain in weekend street battles. Unconfirmed reports said as many as five more IRA snipers were killed in Belfast and their bodies smuggled away by their comrades. TROOPS STONED The fierce renewal of the British province's political and religious feuds brought British army reinforcements to take up riot-control duties. weapons, soldiers and military materiel.

"They have established in that part of the Laotian territory vast military and logistic bases in order to wage me war of aggression against the Republic of Vietnam," Thieu stated. "If this situation is allowed to continue, the North Vietnamese Communists will stubbornly go on with their war of aggression against the Republic of Vietnam, Laos and the Khmer Republic," he said. nal Authority, said the canal can be reopened for international navigation within four months. In an interview published on the front page of Al Ahram, Mashhour said the waterway, with the exception of a few sunken objects, had suffered little damage as a result of 3 years of military operations. Silt, which normally accures as a result of ship traffic, also had been minimal, he added.

Although all administrative buildings in the Suez Canal zone have been damaged or destroyed, Mashhour said this would not hamper resumption of navigation as such work as guidance of ships can proceed by wireless communication. DOWNGRADES Mrs. Meir, in an interview with the National Broadcasting Co. Saturday, said there was "nothing revolutionary" about the offer. "He didn't even say that the canal would be open and that there would be peace with Israel," she commented.

"What he wants is for us to begin to pull back without even a peace agreement." Informants said Mrs. Meir's remarks would form the guidelines for her address to parliament Tuesday. The Israeli policy is that no troops will be withdrawn from the cease-fire lines until there is a binding peace agreement with the Arab states. Israel Galili, a close adviser of Mrs. Meir, said on behalf of his political movement, Achdut Haavodah, that.

Sadat's agreement to extend the Suez Canal cease-fire by only 30 days "means that the danger of a new conflagration looms over the horizon." But the statement added significantly that the likelihood of war depended on the "Egyptian initiative." The Israeli press dealt at length with Sadat's proposal but viewed it with much skepticism. "Management must rid itself of the illusion that it can go on indefinitely running a business in conditions that don't pay-unions must rid themselves of the illusion that they can go on indefinitely demanding higher wages without any concern for the effect on the firm or the industry." In the city of Derby, site of the Rolls-Royce headquarters plant employing 27,000 men, special prayers were said and church services were held for the future of the worried employes and the company. Osyka Man Gets Bronze Star DUC PHO, Vietnam (AHTXC) Army Sergeant First Class James Montgomery, son of Mrs. Julia Burch, route 1, Osyka, recently received the Bronze Star Medal near Due Pho, Vietnam. He was presented the Bronze Star Medal for distinguishing himself through meritorious service in connection with mili tary operatons against hostile forces in Vietnam.

He entered the army in 1951, completed basic training at Ft Hood, and was last stationed in Italy.

The rioters, most under 15 years old, hijacked two buses and set them afire before troops intervened. They then tore down a fence and attacked a police post with gasoline bombs and stones, but were repulsed. Authorities reported four explosions near the border between the two Irelands.

They said two IRA gunmen entered a North Irish customs post at Kil-lin, waved the officers out, and detonated explosives that severely damaged the building. In nearby Newry, blasts damaged a gas works building, a power station and an abandoned house. Police at Ballyhill in County antrim found the body of a young man shot in the head.

Mr. Chiles said the problem facing the industry is "acute and help is urgently needed." MOVE HAS BACKING Eastland said there is 'considerable support" for the move in the Senate. Expected to attend are a half dozen ranking Senators and representatives of the General Services Administration, the defense supply agency, and the Bureau of Federal Prisons.

G. Martin, District Director of Interal Revenue Service for Mississippi. He said.taxx returns received from Mississippi during January were down about 1.000 for this same time last year, but that -refunds are up three to cne.

Last year at this time the Center in Chamblee. Georgil had processed 1,457 refunds for Mississippi taxnavers; this year they have processed 3,990, The amount refunded, excluding interest, last year was $253, 143; for this year it is $798,174. Taxpayer erors still cause delays, however. Principal headaches; are missing taxpayer signatures; improper social security numbers, missing W-2 withholding statements, and use of the wrong tax table. Mistakes made on returns by taxpayers take time for IRS employees to make corrections, and thus delay refunds.

Mr. Martin urges Mississippi taxpayeyjo file well ahead of the April--15 deadline, use the label on the front of their tax returns, and double check i-lieir returns before mailing to the Service Center in Chamblee, Georgia. J. Davis, 19, of 1440 St. Ann; and Camille J.

District Court here on charges of conspiring to kidnap a presidential adviser and blow up heat'ng tunnels in the nation's capital. I The six, including three priests, a former priest and a Roman Catholic nun, have denied the charges. They contend the indictments handed down by a federal grand jury are part of a plot to destroy the peace movement. All were expected to plead innocent at their appearance before Judge R. Dixon Herman.

Seven others, including the Rev. Daniel Berrigan, Philip's brother, were named as coconspirators but were not charged. Philip Berrigan, 47, currently is serving a sentence in the federal prison at Danbury, Conn, for destroying draft records. The other defendants, all free on bail, are: Sister Elizabeth McAlister, 31, Upper Montclair, N.J.; The Revs. Neil McLaughlin 30, and Joseph Wen-derotb, 35, both of Baltimore; Anthony Scoblie, a former priest, of Baltimore; and Eqbal Ahmad, 40, a Pakistani graduate student at the University of Chicago.

Ahmad arrived here Friday, reportedly for a weekend meeting with others named by the grand jury. Father Berrigan was to be transported here by federal officers. The indictments said that Philip Berrigan masterminded the alleged plot to kidnap presidential aide Henry Kissinger while serving time in the federal prison at Lewisburg, 60 miles north of here in central Pennsylvania. Explosion Blacks Out Manhattan NEW YORK (AP) An explosion in a local power station Sunday night blacked out a wide section of Manhattan and knocked radio and television stations off the air. The cause of the explosion was not reported.

Service in two other of the cities' five boroughs, the Bronx and Queens, also was disrupted. But a spokesman for Consolidat-; ed Edison, the area's major util-! ity, said the failures there were 'not related to the explosion at the Waterside generating station on the East Side of Manhattan. Con Ed said about two hours after the power failure that it did not know how long it would take to restore service. He said the trouble affected "mid-Manhattan in a checkerboard fashion." Loss of power at the Empire State Building knocked out transmitters for broadcast programming in the metropolitan area. Spokesmen for the television networks, however, said network programming to other parts of the country was continuing.

Network shows are carried to local affiliates over leased telephone wires.

"By demonstrating at once that the government will take over the aero engine and marine and industrial gas turbine engines (sections of the company), we are ensuring the safety and efficiency of our armed services as well as those of 81 air forces and more than 200 airlines overseas, all operating with Rolls-Royce engines," Heath said. "One thing we have not been prepared to do is mount a general operation to bail out the company an operation which would have run into several hundreds of millions of pounds of the taxpayers' money," he told a national conference of young Conservatives. "There could have been no guarantee that even after such a further effort the company would have been viable in the years ahead." Rolls-Royce, the aristocrat of British industry, declared itself virtually bankrupt last week, Heath used the Rolls-Royce 1 collapse to strengthen his gov-' I ernmenfs argument for curbing I the strength of labor unions and said it underlined "that for too long much of our apparent prosperity has been based on! illusions.
