The accord represented a foreign policy achievement for the Ford ad- the following: The Israelis, yielding to the main Egyptian demands of last March, have agreed to withdraw their forces from the lengths of the mountain passes of Mitla andGidi and to return the Abu Rudeis oil fields to Egyptian administration. Israel will share a road to the area of the oil fields with the Egyptians. The Egyptians and Israelis pledge Mideast continued on page 4A douh Salem. The agreement was the second such limited accord on Sinai between Egypt and Israel.

The first was signed in January 1974. The first attempt by Kissinger to bring about a second-stage agreement failed last March. Virtually all the major details of the package had been made known in recent weeks through information divulged by the Israelis. Among the critical elements were cord, took part in both ceremonies, flying to Alexandria from Jerusalem. After the 19-member Israeli cabinet approved the agreement with one abstention after seven hours of debate, it was initialed first in Jerusalem by Avraham Kidron, director general of the Foreign Ministry, and Gen.

Mordechal Gur, the chief of staff. In Alexandria, the Egyptian chief of staff, Gen. Mohammed Ali Fah- my, and Ahmed Osman, Egyptian representative at the UN offices in Geneva, initialed the same part of the agreement. A key part of the accord calls for the operation of early warning systems in Sinai by up to 200 American civilians who will be allowed to carry small arms. That part of the agreement which must be approved by Congress was signed in Israel by Kissinger with Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin and in Egypt by Kissinger with Premier Mam- ministration, which had intensely sought this interim agreement.

However, as the language of the agreement says, it is not a peace accord but one step along the way to a possible diplomatic settlement in the Middle East. In separate ceremonies in Jerusalem and a few hours later in Alexandria, Israeli and Egyptian leaders called the latest measures a hopeful sign for the future.

As she has often done in her long career, the former premier appeared to be giving voice to the consensus of Israel in her assessment of the interim agreement between Israel and Egypt that was initialed last night. Free to speak her mind now that she is out of office, Mrs.

Meir expressed her view of the agreement more openly than her former colleagues in government. The comments of scores of military and defense officials of Premier Yitzhak Rabin's entourage who attended the initialing ceremony in the premier's office were as sparkling as the champagne that was served for the occasion. Privately, the views expressed were not so optimistic. The consensus matched Mrs. Meir's assessment.

But for the record, all officials interviewed during the farewell reception for Secretary of State Henry A. Kissinger emphasized the aspects of the agreement deemed most positive. "It was the best we could get under the circumstances," one ranking official said, and in similar words this assessment recurred.

role called gain for Sadat By Henry Tanner New York Times Service Alexandria, Egypt For President Anwar Sadat of Egypt the most important single aspect of the new disengagement agreement with Israel is the direct involvement of the United States in the Middle East. (Sinai pact may widen rift among Arabs. Page 10B.) Egyptian officials point out that Washington will no longer be merely a mediator but will become a party to the interim settlement by virtue of the presence of American technicians in the Sinai and of the contractual pledges of U.S. financial aid to both sides. To the Egyptians, this means, in the words of one of.

them, that "America is no longer Israel's unconditional supporter." Sadat, is gambling that this new American "even-handedness" will bring further Israeli withdrawal on the Syrian front and the west bank of the Jordan. Significantly, Egyptian officials have been insisting that the stationing of U.S. technicians in the no-man's land was not Israel's idea but Egypt's. Sadat, they said, proposed it to get around the Israelis' argument that they needed the ai passes to detect any Egyptian preparations for attack. "Why don't you act as their lookout?"

That stigma long has been bestowed by environmentalists on another city along Lake Superior's far-wandering shoreline Silver Bay, Minn. But they contend that Thunder Bay, if events develop as expected, bids well to succeed the home of Reserve Mining Co. in the annals of environmental harm.

The council also decided that since the high school is outside the city limits that it, along with the elementary school, which also is outside town, should pay rates three times those paid by residents.

"Our sewage lagoons are rapidly filling up," said Bruns.

At least 12 people were killed and nearly 100 wounded in street fighting and sniping during the coup attempt, which began before dawn. Rodriguez, who had fled to Riob-amba 100 miles south of Quito when the fighting erupted, returned to the capital in triumph at the head of an armored.column in late afternoon. The general immediately ordered a curfew for Quito starting at 6 p.m. and one for Guayaquil beginning at 8 p.m.

The short-lived revolt was led by Gen. Raul Gonzalez Alvear, army chief of staff, with the backing of about 100 soldiers and several tanks. They succeeded in capturing the presidential palace, but surrendered when elements of a loyal regiment encircled the palace and prepared to attack. It was reported that Gonzalez Alvear and other rebel leaders were being detained in a theater. Rodriguez later said "irresponsible politicians" had taken advantage of some officers.

Gonzalez Alvear, during his brief occupation 6f the palace, told reporters the revolt was to restore constitutional government but he was unable to "consolidate" his position.

It is in Branch, a city incorporated 14 years ago that completely surrounds North Branch. Long-time residents of the area say that the two Chisago County communities have been squabbling for years and that the high water and sewer charges are another chapter in a continuing story.

In addition, the school will be charged three times the water and sewer rates paid by North Branch residents, making it the city's biggest customer. Officials of the school board have not taken the financial impact lightly and have hinted broadly at possible court action. 1 Minnesota North Branch Branch "I Twin Cities.
