Israel's Begin Arrives For Talks with Carter WASHINGTON (AP) Israeli Prime Minister Menahem Begin, arriving at the White House today for talks with President Carter, said Israel "yearns for peace, prays for peace and will do everything humanly possible.

a real peace." But Begin signaled Israel's continuing refusal to withdraw from the occupied West Bank of the Jordan by warning that "in certain life of every man, woman and child" In Israel could be "di- rectlythrcatenedandputinjeopardy." These are the precise words Begin uses in arguing Israel's case for keeping the West Bank under Israeli control. Israeli sources said the prime minister brought several maps for Carter, one showing tiny Israel surrounded by the vast Arab world and another snowing how Arab guns would be in firing range of Israeli cities if Arabs occupied the West Bank. In the South Lawn welcoming ceremonies, Carter praised Begin for his "willingness to suffer for superlative 'personal courage in face of trial, challenge and disappointment. Carter also commended Begin's "deep and unswerving religious commitments." Referring 'briefly to the Middle East conflict, Carter said he was "encouraged" by Begin's assurances that "all points are negotiable." The President said he hoped for success in settline the Middle East conflict Begin arrived in sweltering heat to a 19-gun salute. The onetime guerrilla rleidW'steod" ramrod stiff as the U.S.

and Israeli anthems were played. Begin opened his remarks in Hebrew and reminded Carter of the World War II Nazi holocaust in which the Jews "were thrown into the abyss," later to win statehood "in an unequal fight of the few against the many, the weak against the strong, right against might. Begin said "peace is inseparable from national security." The Jews had "experience of physical annhilation and spiritual redemption" which had taught them that national security meant "the lives of every man, woman and child," he said. Begin 63, making his first journey abroad as prime minister, is carrying what he has called "a complete peace plan," plus a request for more than $2 billion in economic and military aid, according to Israeli sources. While U.S.

and Israeli officials both were eager for the sessions, scheduled for two days, to go smoothly, it seemed unlikely Carter and Begin would be able to gloss over some of the sharp differences between their approaches to such issues as the future of Israeli-held Arab land and the Palestinians. Begin has kept his peace plan secret, saying that "out of courtesy" he wants Carter to be the first to see it. The Israeli leader also is a firm believer in top-secret diplomacy, and in his spring election campaign he attacked the then-ruling Israeli Labor Party for publicly offering to trade away captured land. The peace plan is understood to suggest territorial concessions on the Syrian Golan Heights and Egyptian Sinai Desert, but not on the West Bank oi the Jordan River, previously ruled by Jordan and now earmarked by the Carter administration as a futun Palestinian entity. The main thrust of Begin's argument is that all the existing Mideast peace proposals, even those entailing massive Israeli withdrawals, have failed, and that only by negotiating directly without preconditions can the Arabs and Israelis settle their decades-old dispute.

He will express willingness to attend a Mideast peace conference with Syria, Egypt and Jordan October at which all sides can make their demands and compromise's can be reached. The thorniest issue is ttie West Bank which Israel has ruled since 1967. Begin, a religious man, regards the zone as part of the biblical promised and'the platform on which he was elected on May 17 vows that the West Bank "will not be surrendered to foreign rule." Begin may suggest that the West Bank's 700,000 Arabs receive greater autonomy and financial programs to stimulate their agrarian economy. The possibility of a territorial compromise is not ruled out entirely. Some officials of Begin's, government, including Foreign Minister Moshe Dayan, have hinted, that if the Arabs make a sufficiently enticing offer of peace lor real estate, it might be too good for Israel to reject.

But'such an offer would have to include full peace, diplomatic ties and open borders.

(AP Wirephoto) KOREA INFLUENCE-BUYING Bell Expects Prosecutions in Probe WASHINGTON (AP) Atty. Gen. Griffin Bell says he expects prosecutions to result from the Justice Department investigation of the South Korean influence-buying scandal on Capitol Hill.

Bell made the statement Monday after President Carter turned down Republican requests for appointment of a special prosecutor, patterned after the Watergate special prosecutor, to pursue the Korean scandal. Asked what the Justice Department investigations might produce, Bell said, "We expect there'll be prosecutions." The attorney general said the investigation is being han- dled no differently from other cases, except that it is perhaps being conducted at a faster pace because "it touches the public interest." Meanwhile, Speaker of the House Thomas O'Neill said he would take personal charge of the troubled House ethics committee investigation of the Korean scandal. O'Neill said he wants quick appointment of a new chief investigator to replace Philip A. Lacovara, the former deputy Watergate prosecutor who resigned last week in a dispute with Rep. John J.

Flynt, chairman of the ethics panel. Lacvara said mutual trust needed to complete his investigation did not exist. O'Neill said a new investigator will be able to bypass the ethics committee and take his complaints straight to the speaker's office. O'Neill said Flynt offered to turn the Korean investigation over to some other House committee. The speaker scheduled further meetings to determine whether any more action Is needed.

More than 50 House members of both parties had joined in calling for Carter to name a special prosecutor, but the President said in a letter to Republican leaders: "1 have decided that appointment of a special prosecutor would be inappropriate and unwarranted, and would probably impede the (Justice Department) investigation." He made the comment in a letter to House Republican Leader John J. Rhodes and Senate Republican Leader Howard Baker, who had held a news conference to urge the President to name a special prosecutor. Baker said the Democrats should investigate the Korean scandal as vigorously as they did the Watergate scandal. He was not deterred Monday by Carter's refusal. He suggested Lacovara "would make a great special prosecutor." While telling reporters he would save the House investigation.

O'Neill also denied an ABC report that said he and Democratic Leader Jim Wright might be involved in the scandal. Wright said if there is a source for that story he would "tell him to his face he is a categorical liar." Flynt said he knows of no such evidence and also said that if he heard someone make such an allegation "I would denounce him as a liar."

"If there is any indication that progress is not being made, revocation is one of the possibilities," Charles Miriani, Chicago district director of the IRS, told a House subcommittee. However, assistant IRS commissioner Elvin D. Lurie noted the agency is "satisfied that good progress is being made" in correcting abuses. The fund lost its tax exempt status on June 25,1976.

In a letter to the fund explaining its decision, the IRS said the fund was "not operated for the exclusive benefit of the beneficiaries."
