I know a lot of people didn't care about what happened to me, and I think maybe I wouldn't have cared either, if it would have been someone else. "When it was all happening to me, it was hard for me to accept that there were so many people who didn't care. And yet if I take myself back to when I was 19, maybe I wouldn't have been much different from them.

I'm sure I would have taken notice of it and said, 'Yes, this happened." I don't know why this is on my mind, except I guess maybe I'm trying to figure out a way to see why people didn't care about me." Miss Hearst, 24, talked for two hours in a rolascd, She is prisoner No. 00077-181. Her story was played out in the unrelenting arena of America's collective curiosity. Now she is serving her term in the Federal Correctional Institution here. No one in the country was immune to her saga as it unfolded.

She became a catch phrase, an object to be taken for granted. During the time she was missing, we assumed we would never see her again. She is alive, though. Wearing a pink LaCoste shirt and brown corduroy jeans, she sat in a dining area of the prison and talked about what it has been like.

Close friends of Miss Hearst say that it is only recently that she has recaptured a semblance of self-confidence and that they are encouraged by this, reading it as a sign that she finally is coming out of the trauma caused by her kidnapping and trial.

"I think about putting all of this behind me," she said. "But that takes on such different meanings. I got a letter yesterday from a publisher. Now, I don't want to publish a book. But the publisher said that I should write a book 'to help put it all behind Patty, Page 4-A Bob Greene, a Chicago Tribune riter whose column appears in the Sentinel Star, recently interviewed Patty Hearst at the Federal Correctional Institution at Pleasan-Ion, Calif.

Just something that someone invented. I don't think it's me anymore. I'm someone else. And Patty well, Patty is just that person in the headlines." st Israel puts down call to give up land 1 -ir V. I Ji 4 4- '7 a if -J id 1 i i From Sentinel Siar Services JERUSALEM Israel Sunday rejected an Egyptian proposal that it unilaterally return Mount Sinai and the town of El Arish as a peace gesture, saying, "Nobody can get anything for nothing." Prime Minister Menachem Begin emerged from a six-hour Cabinet debute on the proposal and said his government would consider such a gesture only if it involved a reciprocal move by Egypt.

"No unilateial step is feasible by any country," Begin told reporters. "Nobody can get anything for nothing, and this is going to be the policy of Israel." Egyptian President Anwar Sadat made the proposal in a meeting with Israeli Defense Minister Ezer Weizman in Austria as a way of getting Middle East peace negotiations moving again. El Arish is one of the major towns of the Sinai Peninsula, which Israel captured from Egypt in the Middle East war. Mount Sinai is where Moses received the Ten Commandments. Although rejecting Sadat's proposal, Begin said he would support a resumption of direct peace negotiations between Israel and Egypt and said the talks could take place "at the choice and convenience of President Sadat." Begin said he expects another formal Mideast peace conference sometime after U.S.

Secretary of Slate Cyrus R. Vance's trip to the Middle East early next month. The S. -suggested conference would be at an American-staffed early-warning installation in the Sinai Desert and would include for the first time the foreign and defense ministers of both Egypt and Israel, Begin said. Sadat has said the Israelis have not responded adequately to his gesture of coming to Jerusalem last November, which angered much of the Arab world but launched the current Mideast peace efforts.

The Israeli Cabinet postponed an important debate on the state budget to devote nearly six hours to the Sadat peace proposal and last week's meeting of Vance and Egyptian and Israeli foreign ministers at Leeds Castle in England. Government sources said some members of the Cabinet favored a unilateral goodwill gesture by Israel, while others rejected the idea of making any concession that hasn't been negotiated. A Cabinet spokesman declined to reveal Sunday's vote.

T'-f hi Tin i i i i I Pulling iceberg to desert just tip of problem By JEFF WHEELWRIGHT Special to lh Stnlintl Star Sometime within the next 10 years a small fleet of tugboats and tankers will sail to the coast of Antarctica and surround an iceberg. The iceberg will be about a half-mile long, 400 yards wide, 250 yards thick. It will weigh in the neighborhood of 100 million tons. Approaching gingerly, the men on the ships will lasso the iceberg with steel cables.

They will tie it up in a special harness. Finally, they will drag their hulking catch home, perhaps to Australia, perhaps to California, perhaps to Saudi Arabia. The cost of this undertaking wi'l be around $70,000 for each day that the iceberg is in transit. If the destination is to be the Northern Hemisphere, the iceberg will be in transit for about a year. Its cruising speed will be about one knot.

Unlike most television dramas, this one has been played offscreen to tiny audiences. But with a little effort, a good filmmaker could turn "Channel 9" into an Emmy-award candidate for the best documentary of 1978.

The program would open with the camera panning on a stack of 50 large books containing thousands of pages of transcripts accumulated over the years in dozens of Federal Communications Commission proceedings, six hearings at the U.S. Court of Ap peals and five others at the U.S. Supreme Court. The cast would take several minutes to list, and only the most skillful screenwriter could lay out the complicated plot that began simply enough with a battle to obtain an FCC license to construct a tower and operate Channel 9. In 1953.

the license was awarded to Mid-Florida Television run by Joseph and Marion iBrechner. But four years later, the case was in court when it was found out that one of Mid-Florida's lawyers, unbeknown to the Brechners, had privately met with an FCC commissioner to make sure the corporation got the license. The case was sent back to the FCC, with Mid-Florida still allowed to compete. There were more legal battles challenging WFTV, Page 4-A Associated Prou International Ice Patrol Boat dwarfed by iceberg giant-sized ice cubes may become source of fresh water permanent microclimate.
