WISCONSIN STATE JOURNAL, SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 25, 1978 or nGcgofidfion ndd 1 on Mideast, Vance says I 1 ft m. ft, ivr. CP i From wire services WASHINGTON Secretary of State Cyrus Vance said Friday that Israel's acceptance of the draft Egyptian-Israeli peace treaty text was insufficient to conclude the negotiations because it did not meet Kgypt's insistence on some timetable for giving autonomy to the Palestinians of the West Bank and Gaza Strip. In an interview with The New York Times, Vance differed with Foreign Minister Moshe Dayan of Israel, who said that there was no need for further negotiations and that Kgypt should accept the draft treaty text on a "take it or leave it" basis. "We think the issue is not determined yet," Vance said.

"It is still an open issue because the parties have not reached an agreement on it." Vance is hoping that the Egyptians and Israelis will in the end agree on an American compromise proposal which Dayan himself accepted on Nov. 11 commiting Egypt and Israel to make a "good faith" effort to hold elections for Palestinian self-authority councils by the end of next year. The United States believes this proposal, which the Israelis have not formally rejected, stands a chance because it meets Sadat's criteria for a timetable, while being so loosely worded as to fall short of becoming a legally binding document. It is understood that the American proposal, in the form of a page and a half "side letter" to the treaty text, calls on the Egyptians and Israelis "to negotiate in good faith and continu- "41 Church destroyed Flames engulf the Sacre Coeur Roman Catholic church in Ottawa, Canada, as firemen attempt to bring the blaze under con trol.

Egypt will decide its final position on the U.S.-sponsored draft of an Egyptian-Israeli peace treaty today, Cairo's semi-official Al Ahram newspaper reported. It said in its Saturday edition that Egypt's "technical commission for peace negotiations" would meet under Vice-President Hosni Mubarak to prepare an official memorandum dealing with the American proposal.

Egyptian President Anwar Sadat will review the memorandum before sending it to President Carter, Al Ahram said. Man who forced way onto plane not charged yet A 27-year-old man who is accused of forcing his way onto a North Central airliner Thursday night at the Dane County Regional Airport said at a bail hearing Friday that he will represent himself. John R. Prindle Jr. told Reserve Judge William Sachtjen, "I feel safer in jail than I have on the streets for the last few months." Sachtjen set bail at $2,000, and Prindle was taken back to jail.

He was not formally charged with the crime, however. Police Lt. Ted Balistreri said no formal complaint had yet been written before Prindle was taken before Sachtjen, leaving it up to the judge to decide what to do about bail. Sachtjen set bail after being told a formal charge would be filed Monday. Under Wisconsin law, a judge can order a person placed under bail restrictions if a police officer says a charge will be filed, even if the charge is not specified.

Prindle was subdued about 8:30 p.m. Thanksgiving by Madison police and Dane County Sheriff's Department officers who forced their way into the DC-9 cockpit where he had barricaded himself. Police said Prindle, armed with a knife, boarded Flight 468 after ramming his car through a seven-foot chain-link fence to get to the plane's loading ramp. He said he had a bomb in a plastic bag he was carrying, according to witnesses. He released the four crew members and the passengers before locking himself in the cockpit.

Police said the plastic bag contained clothes. Airport Director Robert Skuldt spoke with Prindle after the arrest. Prindle said he had some problems and "no one would listen to him." Sheriff's Detective William Ludwig said the 19 passengers re-boarded the plane after the incident and the flight to Milwaukee left 45 minutes late. describes death rite Nicaraguans reject U.S. plan for peace MANAGUA, Nicaragua (UPI) -l'resident Anastasio Somoza's Liberal Party and his major opposition Friday night both rejected a U.S.

plan for heading off civil war and Costa Rica mobilized hundreds of fresh civil guardsmen along the Nicaraguan frontier. Diplomats worked against the clock to prevent civil war threatened by the guerrilla opponents of Somoza, but diplomatic and opposition sources said the prospects for peace were dim. The U.S. plan, presented to Somoza and the opposition Tuesday night, called for a national plebiscite to decide if Somoza should stay in power or step down as his foes wish. According to the plan widely known as the Washington plan Somoza and his family would have had to leave the country if the vote went against him.

At the same time, Costa Rica Friday mobilized 600 Civil Guardsmen to reinforce an estimated 400 men on the why the bodies were found face down and lying in layers in one area. He said the people were in scattered positions when he left. Rhodes said he didn't know if anyone else had escaped the poisoning and he saw no one else in the woods as he fled.

"He was telling people it wasn't painful and people had to die with dignity, that this was a way of protesting what was happening to people in the United States. He didn't seem excited.

He was sitting in a chair and seemed very calm," Rhodes said. Rhodes, a slender black man with a scar over his right eye, related the horror in a flat and almost dispassionate voice. He spoke, almost reluctantly, to a few reporters in the hallway of a hotel where he and a few survivors are staying. He taught crafts to camp children. He described the growing confusion that eventually helped him escape, and how some people were being forced to take the poison, administered in the settlement's meeting hall.

"It was mass confusion. People were standing in groups, saying goodbye to each other, walking around hugging old friends. All my thoughts were on how to get out of there." He said he walked to the edge of the crowd, which was surrounded by armed guards. When he got to the fringe, Rhodes said he saw "a girl named Julie Reynolds. She was about 13.

One of the women who supervised her, and one of the nurses were forcing her to take poison. "They forced her to take it. She was spitting it out, but they were forcing her to take Rhodes said he was near a fence at the crowd's edge when the camp doctor called for a stethoscope. Rhodes followed a nurse out to the medical area, where she had him check in the nurse's office while she went into the doctor's office. He said he slipped away and crawled under a building and hid until nearby guards were called to the center to take poison.

Then he stole from house to house and into the jungle. He said he followed the main road 8 miles to Port Kaituma, staying just inside the jungle's fringe. He said he reached the city and told a constable about the killings, but said he was told the force was understaffed nothing could be done. After staying overnight in Port Kaituma, he returned to Jonestown to see the children he once taught, he said. Rhodes said he could not explain Survivor Continued from Page 1 said.

"Babies and children went first. They would take the syringes and a nurse or someone else would put it into a person's mouth and the people would simply swallow it down "The first person who went up was a young mother, about 27 or so. She had a small baby, about She administered it to her own baby, then took her own. She walked over to a field and sat down. It was hard to believe," he said.

Jones tried to reassure his flock as the number of writhing, dying people increased, Rhodes said. He said it took 4-5 minutes for them to die. "Parents were talking with their children and a lot of the children were crying," he said. "He (Jones) was telling them not to tell the children they were dying, not to tell them it was 4 U.S. hijackers jailed in France PARIS (AP) Black Americans Melvin MacNair and George Brown were sentenced here Friday to five years in jail for the 1972 hijacking of a Delta Airlines DC-8 from Miami, to Algeria.

MacNair's wife, Jean, and Brown's companion, Joyce Tillerson, got terms of five years with two years suspended. Because all four spent about 2, years in jail here awaiting extradition proceedings, the women are expected to be released within days and the men in about six months. It was the first trial of U.S. hijackers before a French court MacNair, 30, is from Greensboro, N.C., Jean MacNair, 32, from Winston-Salem, N.C., Brown, 34, from Elizabeth, N.J., and Tillerson, 27, from Spartanburg, S.C. Beaver Dam man is killed hunting A Beaver Dam man accidentally was shot and killed by a companion while hunting Friday about 8 miles northeast of Westfield in Marquette County.

Lee G. Gruenwald, 20, was shot at 1:55 p.m. Friday and was pronounced dead on the scene by the Marquette County coroner. The body was taken to a Westfield funeral home for later transfer to Briese-Roedl-Weber Funeral Home in Beaver Dam. Cyrus Vance ously with the objective of holding elections not later than the end of 1979." In addition, the American proposal calls on the parties to begin negotiations for carrying out the West Bank-Gaza agreement within a month after the Egyptian-Israeli peace treaty is ratified.

"There should be a date to start the negotiations promptly after the ratification of the treaty," Vance said. "Then, I believe, it is also reasonable and wise to try and set a target date for holding of the elections." In the American view, it was necessary to set a target date to prevent Egypt from pulling out of the negotiations. The Egyptians have raised the question of "linkage" from the start of the negotiations on Oct. 12, at one point urging that there be a three-month timetable instead of the approximately one year proposed by Vance. The Egyptians have not yet responded officially to the Israeli Cabi- Nicaraguan frontier three days after a border clash.

Carlos Tunnerman, a political ally of the Sandinista National Liberation front guerrillas, said by telephone from San Jose, "If every last-minute plan fails, the other viable alternative left is armed struggle for the people of Nicaragua to topple the dictator Somoza."

"I have not succeeded in part because of conditions which had arisen before you or I took office, and in part because there have been deep differences between the ACTION administration and the Peace Corps." she said.

Sources said the dispute was over the type of Americans that the corps sends abroad. They said ACTION officials felt current volunteers were too theoretical and too sophisticated to work in underdeveloped countries. Sources said Brown had been pres- cult leader Jones. Officials also noted that of the 1,200 letters about the cult which the de-'partment received from private citizens between January and August, about 60 percent to 70 per cent were favorable. The officials conceded, however, that many pro-cult letters appeared to be part of an organized campaign.

One letter received by the department in May was signed by 57 "grief-stricken parents and friends" of cult members. The letter claimed that Jones had converted the commune into a "concentration camp." Jeweler's window broken; 2 arrested Two Milwaukee men were arrested at 3 a.m. Friday and charged with stealing five watches and a tray full of rings from the display window of Schwartz Jewelers, 440 State Street, according to police reports. Anthony Cistrunk, 20, and Dennis Ilendrix, 23, were being held pending a court appearance Monday. They were arrested at the Howard Johnson Motor Lodge, 585 W.

Johnson St. i eace Corps director resigns WASHINGTON (AP) Carolyn I 'ay ton yielded to pressure and resigned as director of the Peace Corps Friday, citing "deep differences" with the head of the corps' parent agency. "I deeply regret that I am required to offer you my resignation," she wrote President Carter, who appointed her to the post 13 months ago. Carter accepted the resignation and said: "I have come to the conclusion that there are unresolvable policy differences between the director of ACTION, Sam Brown, and the director of one of its major agencies, the Peace Corps, Dr. Carol Payton." Ms.

But on Thursday, Ms. Payton issued a statement saying: "I have not resigned nor do I wish to resign. I care much too much for the Peace Corps to abandon my respnsibilities." She conceded in Thursday's statement that "it is true that Sam Brown has differences with me over the direction of the Peace Corps should take, which have not been resolved."

Richard McCoy, the U.S. consular officer most familiar with the Jonestown cult, expressed total surprise at the mass deaths. Now based in Washington, McCoy said he conducted 75 interviews of cult members, based on reports from friends and relatives that abuse and brutality were widespread in the sect. To ensure privacy, McCoy conducted 40 to 50 of the interviews in an open-air field.

Mindful of charges that the cult members were forbidden under threat of death to leave the sect, McCoy gave the respondents a chance to escape in a waiting car al the edge of the encampment. During each trip to the encampment, a Guyanese official accompanied McCoy. According to officials, McCoy reported to the department that none of those interviewed ever complained about any abuse nor did any take McCoy up on his offer to escape. Department official John Bushnell said Friday that less than two weeks before the mass suicides and slayings, about 600 members of the sect signed a petition expressing solidarity with BrG8kfaSt Sunday Feature Before 1 1 :00 a.m. mwfi Two eggs, any style, with toast 3 Soup of the ay" Cup 50' Bowl 55' Luncheon (Delight Sunday Mam Steak 1 ZLQ on a tootted bun with peoch and cottage cheese tcrfod I ft 4m dinners Sundy Roast Turkey Breast fa with 10 drming whipped pototoet and gibtel gravy I im AJS Fomily DMng fpK low Prk Free coffee with any piece of pie 2-4 p.m.
