There was a possibility the meeting would have to turn over its unsolved problems to a full-scale Arab summit conference.

Iraq has already proposed an Arab economic summit and political sources said the idea was favored by most of the Arab countries, including such moderate oil states as Bahrain. In Egypt, where Friday is the Moslem sabbath, millions of faithful througout the nation knelt in special prayers for peace as they awaited the return Saturday of President Anwar Sadat: "Bring peace to our land, Lord," imams intoned. "Amen," congregations responded. Arches of triumph were erected along the 11 miles Sadat will travel Saturday from the airport into Cairo to welcome him home from the historic ceremony in Washington where he signed a peace treaty with Begin. Sadat has been in Germany the past few days where we won promises of economic aid to help pay for peace.

Tens of thousands of Egyptians were pouring into the city to welcome him United Press International Prime Minister Me-nachem Begin Friday warned the hardline Arab nations meeting in Baghdad that if they attack Israel, the Jewish nation will counterattack and carry the war to their soil. Israel was keeping a wary eye on its border with Jordan and Syria in expectation of stepped up Palestinian guerrilla attacks. Egypt was keeping a wary eye on its border with a hostile Libya with whom it warred in 1977 although Cairo military analysts said it would be "sheer madness" if Libya attacked. In Baghdad, Arab ministers gathered Friday in a final effort to agree on sanctions against Egypt and avert the collapse of Arab solidarity. But there was such a wide difference between moderates and radicals a final solution seemed impossible.

Iraqi Foreign Minister Saadoun Hammadi billed Friday's session of the Arab foreign and economy ministers conference as "final and decisive" and said it would decide "whether diplomatic, political and economic ties with Egypt should be severed." Both Western and Arab analysts believed that failure to adopt a common plan of action would deal a shattering blow to, and possibly lead to the collapse of, the delicate structure of Arab solidarity. After three days of deliberations, it was clear that a wide divergence in views ex Soviets find undersea ruins LISBON, Portugal (AP) Soviet ocean explorers are highly optimistic that further photographic tests will show they have found the fabled lost continent of Atlantis on the ocean floor west of Portugal, a Portuguese government official said Friday. A Soviet oceanographic team earlier this month reported it had taken eight photographs of the remains of walls and great stairways at the bottom of the sea 200 miles to 300 miles off the Portuguese coast, midway between the mainland and the Portuguese island of Madeira. The Soviets met with officials of Portugal's National Institute for Fishing Research to discuss possible exploitation of ocean resources. The institute's director, Dr.

Marcello Vasconcelos, told a reporter Friday the Soviets appear confident they may have found the large sunken island of legend referred to in the writings of the Greek philosopher Plato. "It is undeniable that they think they've found something," he said. Quebec plane crash kills 16 QUEBEC CITY (AP) A prominent Montreal lawyer and 15 other persons were killed when a Quebecair passenger plane crashed into a hillside, split in three parts and burst into a ball of flames, officials said Friday. Eight others were injured, some seriously, when the twinengine turboprop F-27 bound for Montreal with 24 aboard went down at 6:50 p.m. Thursday shortly after takeoff.

Officials said the pilot had trouble with his right engine and turned in preparation for an emergency landing but couldn't make it back to the Quebec City airport. They said among the dead was lawyer Robert Jodoin and the pilot, copilot and stewardess. The other victims were not identified pending notification of relatives. Eiffel Tower 90 years old today PARIS (UPI) What's big and brown, looks like a clothespin, has appeared in hundreds of films and paintings, weighs 7,000 tons and turns 90 years old Saturday? It only could be the Eiffel Tower, one of the world's most visited tourist sights. Since its opening at the Paris Exhibition of 1889, more than 70 million people have visited the tower, sometimes referred to as the worlds tallest lamp post.

Each year, Gustave Eiffel's engineering wonder has more than 3 million visitors, who take away 1.9 miniature copies of the tower and send 1.5 million postcard pictures of it to the folks back home. 3:00 p.m. Friday (City) 704 N. 27th St. House fire.

One day I "saw myself" when I opened a door and faced a full-length mirror unprepared. I joined Weight Watchers where I learned I was not abnormal, crazy or ALONE. The first and most impor-. tant step is to realize there is only one person in the world to whom your weight and size really matter and that is YOU! If you are unhappy because of it YOU are the only one who can do something about the problem. After losing 78 pounds and enjoying three years of normal weight and three years of experience as a Weight Watcher lecturer, I can honestly say I've never seen a person who could not lose weight on a sensible, controlled food program.

Please tell your readers not to be ashamed to admit to THEMSELVES that they need help. There are weight-control groups everywhere and the group therapy is an important aspect of losing the excess pounds. But most important is to begin caring enough to help yourself. Believe me, it's worth it! At age 40 I am a happy woman and no longer hiding under the bed eating peanuts! M.L.G., Omaha Dear Omaha: Thanks for letting us know how it is with someone who has made it. Other excellent self-help groups for weight loss are The Diet Work Shop, Over-eaters Anonymous and TOPS.

Key Club station had variance The Key Stop gas station at the corner of First Avenue South and 36th Street that was featured in Thursday's Gazette was built after consultation with Fire Department officials, according to Richard Walters of Walters the company that owns the station. Although the station did not meet existing fire codes, a variance was granted because retail sales would not be handled, Walters said. State officials are considering changing the fire code to permit construction of such stations without variances.

Wholesale customers have keys to the gas pumps and do not require assistance from an attendant, although employees at the Walters bulk plant across the street check the station twice a day, according to Walters. not so much ANN LANDERS as a "Hello" or "How are you?" -I love these children and don't want to write them off.
