mlw lvionaaie says 0 sraeiis a gree to resume talks United Press International JERUSALEM Vice President Walter Mondale said yesterday Israel has accepted a US proposal to resume the stalled Mideast peace talks with Egypt under the auspices of Secretary of State Cyrus Vance. "It is fair to say the Israelis have agreed to attend the London conference," Mondale said after talks with Israeli Cabinet members and Prime Minister Menachem Begin. He said Vance has been in touch with Egypt about returning to the the absence of peace have provided i sense of security. "Without eventual withdrawal on all fronts. there can be no lasting peace," Mondale said.

He said the Israeli offer to give up most of the Sinai in exchange for security guarantees could be applied to the West Bank and Gaza Strip, areas that Begin sees as inseparable parts of the land of Israel. Mondale began a busy day by meeting Israeli President Yitzhak Navon, whom he presented with a copy of the first Hebrew Bible printed in America. He then placed a wreath on the grave of David Ben-Gurion, Israel's first prime minister, and later unveiled a plaque at the Hubert H. Humphrey Center of Social Ecology. twt a V.

Begin said the foreign ministers of Israel and Egypt may meet with Vance in London in two weeks for talks that could be called a "resumption of negotiations." Mondale is scheduled to fly to Egypt today for a meeting with President Anwar Sadat. In his remarks, Begin at first appeared to be tentative on whether Israel would attend the proposed London meeting.

"First we should get the proposals promised by Egypt and we want to read it, to study it, to analyze it, and then we shall decide about the meeting, which will of course take place after we had the time to look into the proposal," he said. But Israeli and American officials said later Foreign Minister Moshe Day-an has been authorized to take part in the US sponsored London meeting with Egyptian Foreign Minister Mohammed Ibrahim Kamel. The officiais said Vance expects the discussions to start around July 20 and last a few days. Mondale and Begin met with reporters on the stairs outside the prime minister's office. They had to speak up to be heard over the chants of demonstrators shouting, "Mondale, go home!" "The people of Israel confront painful decisions," Mondale said.

Police and hospital officials said 57 Lebanese were killed and 90 wounded during eight hours of fighting. The Syrians did not issue a casualty report for their units. It was the second straight day of battles between the Syrians and right-wing Christian militiamen in east Beirut. A five-hour artillery barrage Saturday by the Syrians killed at least 22 persons and wounded more than 80 others in the embattled Ein Rummaneh Christian quarter, Christian sources said.

Reports that as many as 35 Lebanese were killed Saturday could not be verified independently. Observers in Beirut believe the Syrians, who make up the bulk of a Arab League peacekeeping force LEBANON, Page 12 by the Legislature before Wednesday, a spokesman for the workers responded, "If it is passed, the state workers will be quite happy." John Harvey, spokesman for the Alliance, an organization combining the American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees (AFSCME) and the Service Employees International Union, said the decision to go to the State House was approved by some 100 representatives yesterday at a meeting in Boston. Harvey said the vote was unanimous at the end of the two-hour emergency meeting at the Boston Park Plaza Hotel. The spokesman said among those who will not work Wednesday are members of the Public and Mental Health Departments, the Division of Employment Security, the Division of Environmental Management, corrections offices and clerks and secretaries in all departments. The stoppage is expected to have a serious effect on persons across the state, including inmates in prisons (no visitors), welfare recipients (a slowdown in the handling of food vouchers), and vendors dealing with the state.

Joseph M. Bonavita, executive director of AFSCME Council 93, said, "All By Paul Feeney Globe Staff Faced with threats of going without pay because no new state budget has been passed, some 30,000 state employees plan to hold a one-day statewide work stoppage Wednesday in order to "visit the Legislature" in Boston. The workers, from all parts of the state, plan to go to the State House to impress upon legislators that the lawmakers must "get off dead center" and approve a budget for fiscal year 1979 so that the employees will continue to be paid. Asked if the work stoppage would be conducted if the budget was passed we are getting is the music. The Legislature's answer to the payless payday was to take today (Sunday) off." The Legislature will meet again tomorrow at 2 p.m.

Two of the major obstacles to the passage of the $5 billion state budget are local aid how to distribute an additional $250 million to $315 million to the state's 351 cities and towns and antiabortion language. The language, attached to a $700 million Medicaid appropriation and to three items dealing with medical insurance for state employees and retirees, prohibits the use of state funds for EMPLOYEES, Page 4 Grappling with growing pains back on the stump By Marguerite Del Giudice Globe Staff THE BOOM IN SOUTHERN NEW HAMPSHIRE 2 P.J 4 I JT I rr RAYMOND, N.H. Just around the bend from the weathered sign welcoming motorists to the southern New Hampshire town of Raymond is a collection of boxy abodes of blue and yellow and white, with leashed pets, driveways and potted plants out front. Were it not for the 92 aluminum mailboxes propped up on a wooden fence nearby, the entrance to Leisure Village Estates could be mistaken for the gateway to an exclusive condominium or housing complex, rather than to a mobile home development. There aren't too many exclusive neighborhoods in Raymond.

In fact, 700 of the town's 1600 dwellings are mobile homes like those at Leisure Village almost all of them valued at less than $20,000. "All of a sudden we turned around and there were all these people here," says Delmar Anderson, former chairman of a growth committee in Ray- Mailboxes crowded close together in Raymond (Globe photo by Joseph Dennehy) mond. "You find yourself dealing with newcomers all the time. You walk down the street and see lots of people you don't know. Nobody was prepared to plan for it." New Hampshire never has been the kind of place where state government meddled in town affairs.

Such interference would be anathema to the dominant Yankee attitude that what the towns want to do is their business. It still is their business, but times and life-styles are changing in New NEW HAMPSHIRE, Page 4 He tells US to back up tough talk with Soviets By Timothy Dwyer Globe Correspondent HYDEN. Ky. Former President Richard M. Nixon, making his first public speech since his resignation in August 1974, yesterday called on US leaders to use less rhetoric and more action in foreign policy, particularly with the Soviet Union.

Nixon, tanned and looking rested, spoke before about 4000 persons in the Richard M. Nixon Recreation Center, which was dedicated to him yesterday afternoon in this small, eastern Kentucky coal-mining town. "I can tell you one thing for sure," Nixon said, clenching his fist for emphasis, "tough talk, when it isn't backed up. is as strong as an empty cannon." Nixon spoke in a relaxed tone that became forceful when he wished to get a political point across, such as his theory on revenue sharing. He came here as a friend and was received as one.

When he emphasized a phrase with a clenched fist or gesturing arm, he received loud applause. When he turned to lighter subjects, such as his basketball days at Whfttier College, the audience laughed and whooped it up. Nixon played several roles: the confiding friend, bringing news from the rest of his family: the politician, talking about local aid from the federal government, and the elder statesman, saying how tough the Russians are to negotiate with. He did nol any names in his speech. Nixon, who spent two days here, spoke for 42 minut-p" and was soaked with sweat at the end of '-i i speech.

It was not to watch Luis Tiant throw a ball 60 feet that glued people to their TV sets during the fourth game of the 1975 World Series. It was to see if cunning and bravery would overcome brawn. By David Mehegan Globe Staff These pages have seen much sneering at sports lately, mostly by writers who apparently think it only significant enough to disparage. The sportswriters are too polite to reply, so let a dilettante have his say. The commonest criticism of sports is that it doesn't amount to anything, that it has no substantial result.

The players are paid huge fortunes to work their hearts out for half a year, but for Mere fame? A column of numbers ov the sports page and in the record book? But this criticism devaluates form. There is no substantial result of any kind of art, painting, music or ballet. Is in shopping the ad of these dictatorships it will be surrounded "ioitile nations." xhe 65-year-old Nixon was dressed in a light blue suit with blue shirt and striped tie. His speech at one point, "hr ho ialked about how the youth of the country must work to maintain world peace, became emotional and Nixon seemed on the verge of tears. Before he delivered his address, he received a two-minute standing ovation, and another five-minute ovation at Mikhail Baryshnikov's work therefore inferior to that of a man who stamps out razor blades? Sport is an art, and, like all art forms, it strives for an ideal state through a concert of virtue and talent.

The pitchers with great native ability who never make it in the big leagues are common; less common but more appealing are those with undoubted talent who actually succeed through labor, courage, discipline, constancy and maturity. These are qualities people need in daily life, of course, and the art the end of his spee'-S NIXON, Page DEFENSE, Page 8.
