PAGE FIFTEEN-, Vance meeting with Dayan on peace talk 'conditions' EVENING HERALD OF SHENANDOAH ASHLAND MAHANOY CITY TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 27, 1977 of President Carter's plan to admit Palestinians at Geneva Middle East peace talks, stalled since 1973. Earlier Monday, Vance was unusually frank in telling reporters that Israel "has added conditions that do not accurately reflect our views," but he did not specify the differences. But Vance's spokesman, Hod-ding Carter, said the secretary of state "continues to hope there will be a Geneva conference before the end of the year." Dayan also refused to tell reporters about the U.S.-Israeli split, saying only, "That's what we discussed, the differences. We talked about how to go about convening the Geneva conference. We're just trying to work it out." Though the Israeli cabinet Sunday endorsed Carter's plan to include Palestinians in a pan-Arab delegation to Geneva, it demanded that none of the Palestinians be members of the Palestine Liberation Organization and that the pan-Arab delegation break up into Egyptian, Syrian and Jordanian working groups after a ceremonial opening session.

The Carter plan made no mention of the PLO. But if left -open the possibility the PLO would be accepted at Geneva if it agreed to recognize Israel's right to exist as a Jewish state. Egyptian Foreign Minister Ismael Fahmi, who is expected to meet Vance Thursday night, told reporters, "There are differences" over the Palestinian issue "and we believe they should be discussed. Vance flies back to Washington Wednesday to meet Syrian Foreign Minister Abdul Khalid Khaddam, and then returns to New York for the meeting with Fahmi. UNITED NATIONS (UPI) -Secretary of State Cyrus Vance has met Israeli Foreign Minister Moshe Dayan to discuss "conditions" the Jewish state has attached to allowing Palestinians to attend Geneva peace talks.

Vance's schedule today called for separate meetings with the foreign ministers of Finland, Belgium, Portugal, Turkey, Great Britain, Mexico, Venezuela, Peru, Holland and Guatemala. Vance, in New York to attend the 1977 U.N. General Assembly session also was lining up a series of meetings with Middle Eastern foreign ministers to resolve their differences over Palestinian representation at a resumed Geneva peace conference.

American and Israeli officials also said the cease-fire ending 10 months of fighting that had intensified in the past 10 days had taken hold except for a Palestinian salvo of Soviet-made rockets that wounded eight persons in two Israeli towns. An Israeli military spokesman said Israel pulled back all its troops that had crossed into Lebanon, but a Lebanese reporter in the area said some Israelis remained in a few hill positions just inside Lebanon When the dust-covered Israeli soldiers clanked back across the border in U.S.-built armored vehicles, a Christian commander put his arm around an Israeli officer and said: "We have the assurance the Palestinians will respect the cease-fire if not, we have the assurance that the Israeli army will interfere and fight." A Lebanese reporter in the south said only scattered rocket, shell, and machine-gun exchanges had marred the cease-fire Monday, and that the rocky farmland seemed to be at peace again. BEIRUT, Lebanon (UPI) The battlefields of south Lebanon lapsed back into farmland today under a U.S.-mediated cease-fire that a senior Western diplomat called a "crucial test for Mideast peace." But in northern Israel, a salvo of rockets fired from Palestinian positions in south Lebanon screamed early today into the border settlement of Rosh Hanikra near the Mediterranean coast, causing no injuries or damages. An army spokesman said Israeli artillery gunners in the area observed the cease-fire and did not pound the suspected sources of the rockets, and the rest of the border region also was quiet.

Lebanese rightists backed by Israeli troops and tanks inside Lebanon and joint Palestinian-Lebanese leftist forces ceased most firing at 10 a.m. Monday (4 a.m. EDT), though some scattered exchanges occurred after the deadline. "It will take at least 36 to 48 hours to see whether it (the cease-fire) is for keeps," the Western diplomat said in Beirut. "This is a crucial test for Mideast peace.

"It's a test for the Carter administration, for the Pales The plan, due to have begun taking hold in mid-August, was undermined by a sharp escalation of the fighting in the south that culminated in a major Israeli-rightistoffensivell days ago. Under the plan, up to 1,200 Lebanese army regulars will enter Palestinian and rightist positions and all but some 300 Palestinians will pull back from the border to allow creation of ademilitarized zone, diplomatic sources said. The radical Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine has repeatedly rejected any Palestinian pullback and said Monday, "We will not withdraw one inch from our present positions." With the Front estimated to comprise less than one-fifth of the guerrilla forces, "the question is whether they can make their rejection stick," the Western diplomat said. the separatist organization "Basque Homeland and Liberty" (ETA) and three to the "Revolutionary Antifascist Patriotic Front" (FRAP) were executed for their participation in the killing of policemen. The executions sparked demonstrations in many European cities.

Less than two weeks later, Generalissimo Francisco Franco suffered the first of a series of heart attacks that led to his death on Nov. 20, 1975. The slaying of Carretero was the latest in a series of acts of political violence apparently intended to unsettle Spain's frail new democracy. Last week, one person died and 15 were injured when right-wing extremists bombed the offices of a satirical magazine in Barcelona. Herguedas, 55, was shot in the head and body shortly after 7 a.m.

Police said the slaying occurred in the southwestern suburb of Carabanchel, less than two blocks from the place where some of the urban guerrillas executed two years ago had shot and killed a captain of the Civil Guards police force. a new flareup of political violence, gunmen today shot and killed a police captain on the second anniversary of the execution of five urban guerrillas, police said.

The award will be presented Wednesday to Garner's brother, Vancouver musician Linton Garner, in a ceremony at the Beverly Hilton.

The board of directors of the group, the American Society of Composers, Authors and Publishers, voted to honor Garner with the organization's sixth Pied Piper award, because of his "unique contributions which left a permanent mark on the world of music," an ASCAP spokesman said. By United Press International JUDGE IMMUNE MIDDLETOWN, Conn. (UPI) Author Norman Dacey's $1 million lawsuit against Superior Court Judge Henry J. Naruk has been thrown out of court because judges are protected from lawsuits. Dacey, author of "How to Avoid Probate," initially sued the Connecticut Bar Association in 1967 claiming a brochure circulated by the group libeled him.

He was awarded $60,000 in damages by a Superior Court jury in 1974, but the award later was overturned through an appeal by the bar association. Dacey filed the lawsuit against Naruk in August, charging the judge, a member of the bar, should not have presided over Dacey's libel case against the bar association because he might have had to pay some of the damages. Window: Baker on the griddle EDUCATION TODAY Stout grads always get jobs BENNY TO BURNS BEVERLY HILLS, Calif. (UPI) The March of Dimes is giving its Jack Benny Memorial Award to comedian George Burns. The award, named for the late comic because of his fund-raising efforts for the medical research group, will be presented at a dinner next Tuesday.

Bob Hope was scheduled to act as toastmaster with Frank Sinatra presenting the award. By STEVE GERSTEL WASHINGTON (UPI) The heat is on Senate Republican Leader Howard Baker and the coming winter will bring him no relief. Baker, an adroit politician, will need all his acumen and more than a little backwoods luck to escape the fight over the Panama Canal treaties without some scars. In fact, the Tennessean may is too important to make a snap judgment." Baker said he would decide, either during the course of the Foreign Relations Committee hearings which start near the end of the month, or when the debate begins next year. Once that decision is made, however, Baker plans to do more than just cast his vote and try and ride out whatever backlash may occur.

He plans to be out in front. how to get delegates to the convention. The alternative involves splitting with Ford who now represents the moderate wing of the party. Ford quickly endorsed the treaties but declined Carter's suggestion to go campaigning for them. The Ford wing and the more liberal segments of the party are not as rigid as the conservatives and would not, as the conservatives almost certainly would, write Baker off on the basis of one vote.

But there are other hazards there for Baker. A vote for the treaties would probably put Baker at odds with a majority of the Republican colleagues who elected him leader in January and conceivably could make his re-election chances more difficult. The mail from Tennessee is very, very heavy against the treaties. There is one saving factor in all this for Baker. Seeing there is no way for him to win politically on the issue, he can concentrate purely on the EVEL CHARGED LOS ANGELES (UPI) Daredevil Evel Knievel was formally charged Monday with assault with a deadly weapon for allegedly beating the author of a book about him with a baseball bat.

He was ordered to appear for arraignment in West Los Angeles Municipal Court Wednesday. Knievel is free on $1,000 bail following his arrest last week on charges he beat Sheldon Saltman with a baseball bat, breaking Saltman's wrist and arm. Knievel has called the book Saltman wrote "a filthy lie," saying it insults his mother, wife and other members of his family and portrays him as "an alcoholic, pill pusher, anti-Semite and immoral person," damaging the image he has tried to build. PIDGEON GOES HOME SANTA MONICA, Calif. (UPI) Actor Walter Pidgeon went home Monday after 53 days in St.

John's Hospital, where he had a brush with death from a blood clot, which eventually was dissolved by drugs. Pidgeon, 78, entered the hospital for surgery to remove a clot originally formed in his legs by a phlebitis conditition lodged in his brain area. The operation was a success, but as he was recovering several days later a second clot lodged in his lung, threatening his life. "When I make up my mind when I do that I will do my best to make my view prevail." And right about then, Baker's real problems will begin. The conservatives are already all over him.

Sen. Jesse Helms, a leading opponent of the treaties, told the Florida Conservative Union that Baker is "squirming like a worm on a hot brick" over the issue. Rep. Philip M. Crane, chairman of the American Conservative Union, told the same group "Howard has been be in a no-win situation.

Having to take a position and voting on the twin treaties is not a joyous prospect for most senators. It is a political torment for many. The exceptions are the conservatives Republicans and Democrats to whom ceding the Panama Canal to Panamanians under any circumstances and in any year is wrong. Even the smattering of liberals who have endorsed the treaties and pledged their support to President Carter know they are bucking public sentiment as of Baker, however, is in a singular position among his colleagues. He harbors barely disguised ambitions for the 1980 presidential nomination and, as the Senate's GOP leader, could hold the key in a close showdown when the vote comes "What we offer," he said, "is not just a formal education but education with a skill.

"Thecompany president may say he wants a man who has been educated for promotion and who can be trained for a specific job. "But ask the plant foreman who has to do the training. He wants a man who can do the job now. We offer them an employee who can do the job and who is ready for additional responsibility." Students majoring in hotel and restaurant management and in other food-related subjects operate a restaurant, open to the public. Although training to be managers, the practical experience in the kitchen and dining room enables the students to be more effective bosses in the restaurant industry.

Industrial education students build an airplane as part of their course work. Youths preparing to be industrial managers run their own manufacturing facility on campus. They hire employees, do marketing and production development, as well as run an actual assembly line. They have manufactured such things as steel filing cabinets for the school and bicycle racks. Some students also get credit for working off campus to fill "This is not a vocational education college," Swanson said.

"Our offerings include those which help students understand the context in which they will perform their work. Liberal arts subjects including history, psychology, the social sciences, for example. "We have rejected the narrow view of vocationalism skilling which provides only a set of job credentials." The courses are grouped in six areas: Industrial Arts, Technology (computer to assembly line management) Home Economics (family life, hotel and restaurant management) Applied Art (industrial and interior design); Helping Professions (guidance and vocational rehabilitation); Education (teachers of industrial arts and home economics only). For example, the hotel and restaurant management major was added as a result of career opportunities jobs in Wisconsin. Tourism became a major industry.

"It's a well-built porch, if I must say so," he said, eyes By PATRICIA MC CORMACK UPI Education Editor Probably no college can match the record of the University of Wisconsin-Stout when it comes to jobs for new graduates. It is a special mission school in the state's university system. Of the 1,100 who graduated in June from Stout in Menomonie, 95 per cent are employed. Starting salaries range from $9,000 to $18,000.

So what's the secret at Stout in this era when more than a few with plain old bachelor's degrees in the class of '77 across the nation drive cabs, sell books or hold menial jobs. Stout's job record for new grads is due to a turn-of-the-century education idea that works as well today as it did then. Stout was founded in 1893 by State Sen. James H. Stout.

His idea: prepare people for the world of work, while offering them also a liberal arts education. The "special mission" at Stout: a sheepskin plus a salable skill. Chancellor Robert S. Swan-son, in an interview said he got hands-on training as a carpenter when going to the unusual school.

And, of course, the titular leader of the anti-treaties forces is Ronald Reagan. He scored a lot of points campaigning against the treaties last year when he battled President Gerald Ford for the nomination. If Baker splits with the Reagan right, he can almost surely forget about their support in 1980 or thereafter. And as the conservatives proved last year, they know lengthy applause to veteran rock music star Cliff Richard when he made his comeback on the German concert stage here recently.

In the near sold out Congress Center, Richard displayed great routine, that particular feeling for his brand of music and two dozen fine pop songs. in January or February. Baker's position at the moment which at least gives him some breathing room is that he has not made a decision. He said recently, "I have decided not to decide on that issue for the moment because it course requirements. twinkling.

si I a WASHINGTON (UPI) An Army panel studying West Point policies today voiced concern over hazing of new cadets and said there should be a lesser punishment than dismissal for such "trivial" lies as hiding liquor in a hair tonic bottle. The panel, formed in the aftermath of last year's cheating scandal, recommended naming of an advisory committee including for the first time civilian members to help formulate policy for the military academy. An announcement, which accompanied release of the panel's report, said the Army sent it to the academy superintendent for action "as he deems appropriate." Somerecommendations, such as substituting letter grades for the numerical average that established the "goat" system of having a lust man in each class, are already going into effect. Noting that under a recent Borman Commission recommendation there can now be a lesser penalty than dismissal for an honor code infraction, the study group said lying should be redefined to no longer include such things as hiding whiskey in hair tonic bottles or covering a. window with a blanket while studying after lights out.

The code states "A cadet will not lie, cheat or steal nor tolerate those who do," and until recently any violation brought expulsion from West Point. On the subject of hazing of freshmen! the panel voiced concern over "total and pervasive authority over plebes" by upperclassmen and said the system's possibilities for abuse "represent the greatest potential for future public embarrassment of the Military Academy." It avoided specific recommendations, but said it views the entire system with "much ambivalence." A total of 176 members of the class of 1977 were implicated in cheating on a take-home electronics examination. More than 150 left the academy but most have now been readmitted as a result of Borman Commission findings. Thestudy group said "disillusionment and lack of faith have been engendered by bizarre cases" in which not enough flexibility was shown in application of the Honor Code in "trivial or totally unintentional offenses."
