Israel 0K Palestinian Autonomy Link in Pact By UNITED PRESS INTERNATIONAL Israel Tuesday accepted a compromise linking a Middle East peace settlement to future Palestinian autonomy on the West Bank and the Gaza Strip but rejected Egypt's demands for a timetable for It. Egyptian President Anwar Sadat, said by official sources to be "disappointed" by Israel's rejection of the timetable, responded by ordering the head of the Egyptian delegation to the Washington peace talks home for consultations. But a senior Egyptian government source said he expected that the talks would still continue. An Egyptian government spokesman said Lt. Gen.

Kamal Hassan All, the head of the Egyptian delegation at the Washington talks, was being recalled to Cairo. However, an Egyptian spokesman stressed that the rest of the Egyptian delegation would remain in Washington and that All's recall "does not mean that the talks broke down." He said that Egypt still "Insists upon a timetable" for autonomy in the West Bank and the Gaza Strip and that All was being called home for talks because situation requires further study and consultation" In light of the Israeli decisions. He did not elaborate. But earlier a high Egyptian source described Sadat as disappointed over the Israeli cabinet's rejection of a timetable linking Palestinian autonomy on the West Bank and the Gaza Strip to the Egyp-tian-IsraelPpeace treaty being negotiated In Washington. The Israeli decision was welcomed by the United States Tuesday shortly after Prime Minister Menachem Begin telephoned President Carter to Inform him of the cabinet's action.

They, talked for about 20 minutes. "We welcome the decision of the Israeli government today to accept all but one element of the treaty package we presented to them," said State Department official George Sherman, who has been acting as spokesman for the peace talks. "We will now be in touch with the Egyptian government about Its position and will be consulting with both governments about further steps in the negotiating process." Sherman declined to speculate on when or how the negotiations would resume. "I just can't predict what Is going to happen because we have to get the reaction of the Egyptians," he said." The high Egyptian source, who could not be identified, said he expected Cairo would go on negotiating, despite Israel's rejection of the Egypt-proposed timetable liking the treaty to the establishment of Arab autonomy in the West Bank and Gaza. The source, however, did not exclude the possibility of a "stock-taking pause" or recess In the negotiations, which opened In Washington more than five weeks ago.

Before the Israeli cabinet decision, Sadat met with Egyptian Prime Minister Mustafa Khali! and Vice President Hosnl Mobarak who returned from Washington Monday, and agreed on "future steps" in the deadlocked negotiations. Khalil refused to say what the agreed steps were but diplomatic sources said they apparently covered Cairo's moves in the event of an Israeli rejection of the Egyptian proposal The Israeli compromise came on a 15-2 decision by the cabinet to approve a U.S. draft treaty first presented Oct. 25. It includes a phrase linking the pact to the future of the occupied West Bank of Jordan and the Gaza Strip but not setting any timetable for achieving it as Egypt had demanded.

The cabinet previously rejected that draft but, after Its latest six-hour session, Begin said Israel was ready to sign a treaty with Egypt based on the American proposals of Oct. 25. Begin said both sides could negotiate a timetable after the signing of a treaty and Its ratification by parliament. But, Begin told reporters "the latest proposals of the government' of Egypt are Inconsistent with the Camp David agreements and unacceptable to Israel." Israel has argued it will not accept Sadat's timetable demand because it would go beyond the agreements The Muncie Star VOL 102-NO. 236 NOVEMBER 22, 1978 PHONE Son Says Cult Is Finished Jones, Was 'El, Paranoid, Drugged9 None a President Now BSU Presidential Field to Be Cut to Five Soon By JAN POWELL The Slar i Education Writer All 10 of the final candidates for the Ball State University presidency have now visited the campus and all are "still interested" In the position, according to Ball State trustee and search committee chairman Will Parker.

Asked to give a profile of the final 10 candidates, Parker commented that none are currently university presidents, but that most are academic affairs vice presidents or provosts, as they are called at some other institutions. There are no women or minorities among the final presidential aspirants, according to Parker. The search chairman pronounced all of the final 10 "good candidates" and said that a number of them are from universities larger than Ball State. He said that all of the final candidates appeared to be people who would be undaunted by challenge. He said that none of them had brought up officially or asked questions of him personally, concerning the events of the last year on the Ball State campus.

In the fall of last year, university president John J. Pruis received a "no-confidence" vote from the university senate, and subsequently resigned from the Ball State helm. Parker said that a major concern of the final 10 presidential applicants seems to be the future of Ball State. They have all been interested In knowing about long-range programming, he noted. Parker, who was named to head the search and screening group when It was formed last spring, said the list of candidates will be narrowed to five by Dec.

8. These names will be presented to the board of trustees, but will not be released to the public because of embarrassment it might cause the candidates in their current positions, according to Parker. In addition to Inviting the final 10 candidates to Ball State, members of the search committee have also visited the campuses and communities of these 10 still in the running for the post. Those visits to other campuses are still underway, according to trustee Parker. The search committee which ended up a rather diverse group following compromise between the trustees and the faculty on who would be appointed has "gotten along fine," according to chairman Parker.

He Indicated that, in many cases, search committee members of totally different philosophical persuasions had found themselves voting for the same candidates. "We've had a good consensus," Parker claimed. Parker said that the new BSU president would probably be brought aboard around July 1, which would be the beginning of the fiscal year for the university. He indicated that there is no big hurry because the committee is "more interested in finding the right person than in meeting a deadline." He also commented, "We're not looking for a person who would give two weeks notice, anyway." Another reason for the lack of a sense of urgency Is because acting president Richard Burkhardt, who assumed the responsibility Sept. 1, is "doing a great job," according to Parker.

reached during the 13-day Maryland summit two months ago. There was no reference to a timetable In the Camp David accords. Israeli government sources said if Egypt reacted favorably to the cabinet decision, Foreign Minister Moshe Dayan and Defense Minister Ezer Weizman would return to Washington by the end of the week. "The government of Israel Is prepared to sign the peace treaty with Egypt that was presented to it for consideration by the Israeli delegation to the peace talks if the government of Egypt Is ready to act likewise," Begin said. The cabinet reversed Itself by accepting the Oct.

25 draft presented by the United States. The words "on the basis," which appear in the preamble, link the treaty to the future of. the West Bank and Gaza, sponsible for the lay-offs.

Jim Jones, was ill, paranoid and drugged when he ordered the mass suicide by cyanide of more than 400 of his American followers in their isolated jungle commune. The California-based religious cult, the Peoples Temple, "is finished," the younger Jones said.

1 U.S. Air Force helicopters flew to Port Kaituma 150 miles west of here to begin disposal of the 409 victims most of whom died by drinking cyanide-laced Kool-Aid lying bloated under tropical sun. Officials said they may have to be buried on the spot. U.S. Army grave registration experts were collaborating in the grim identification task, helped by surviving members of the cult.

Guyana troops and police searched for hundreds of survivors who fled the death scene into swampy jungle and piranha-infested rivers when cult guards apparently began shooting commune members who refused the plastic cups of poison. Ten Air Force C-141 jet transports loaded with medical and sanitary gear were dispatched from Fort Bragg, N.C., with doctors and paramedics to treat survivors and help in the cleanup. The Pentagon said that 100 U.S. military personnel have arrived in Guyana with another 225 due to arrive shortly along with four Medevac and three "Jolly Green Giant" rescue helicopters to aid in the search for Americans still missing after they fled Into the jungle. A Pentagon spokesman said that the helicopters were equipped with loudspeakers to broadcast instructions to survivors and would aid Guyanese troops in the search.

A flag-draped coffin bearing the body of Rep. Leo Ryan, D-Calif whose murder and that of four other Americans touched off the mass deaths, was flown back to San Francisco. Steven Jones, at a police-conducted news conference, said his father was sick and his action had destroyed the cult, in which young Jones believed. "I hated him.

He became a Fascist He destroyed everything we lived and worked for," Jones said. "He was not well. He was paranoiac and he had been taking drugs I don't know what kind quite a bit lately. He was not as sensible as he used to be." Jones said his father believed he had, heart disease and imbalanced sugar content in the blood. Jones said, "The Peoples Temple is finished.

I see no way It can go on. My only concern is to find the missing and help them start a new life elsewhere. We are deeply grieved and we apologize to the very loving people of Guyana for this blight on the country. There is no way we can apologize enough." There was doubt as to the number of survivors. Original reports said the commune totaled some 1,100 persons but officials reported finding only 800 passports.

Guyana officials said there were seven survivors but the State Department reported 31 persons had turned up. The several hundred others were presumed lost or fugitive in the bush or dead. Sect leader Jones was found shot at the open air temple of the commune, one bullet through his head. His wife, Marceline, and two sons by other women were also dead.
