1978 Somber mood prevails for summit Carter stresses need for compromise at Camp David meeting CAMP DAVID, Md. (AP) -President Carter prepared a quiet welcome today for his partners in a Mideast summit conference, pressing for compromise but admitting the dangers in disagreement and making no predictions. We will do the best we can, Carter pledged, although he noted the summit issues are complex and the differences between his guests Prime Minister Menachem Begin of Israel and President Anwar Sadat of Egypt are deep. Sadat was arriving first, being formally greeted at an air base by Secretary of State Cyrus Vance before proceeding by helicopter to this presidential hide-away. Begin was not due at Camp David until late this afternoon, after getting a similar welcome by Mondale and Israeli occupation of land seized during the 1967 Mideast war and the fate of 1.1 million Palestinians living on the West Bank of the Jordan River and the Gaza Strip.

Having promised Sadat and Begin a secluded setting for private talks without a fixed time limit, the U.S. president said before boarding a helicopter for the 30-minute flight here: Compromises will be mandatory. Without them no progress can be expected. Flexibility will be the essence of our hopes. Although last months announcement of summit plans caught the world by surprise, Carter publicly discussed the possibility as long ago as last April.

Interviewed then by Trude B. Feldman, White House reporter for Jewish publications here Vance at Andrews Air Force Base, Md. Before leaving the White House Monday for Camp David, Carter said the summit comes at a time when the political consequences of failure might be very severe and when the prospects for complete success are very remote. Sadat sounded the same theme, saying before leaving for the summit, Failure at Camp David means an endless conflict. Carter said at a Baptist Sunday school session Sunday: Let every heart involved be cleansed of selfishness and personal pride.

Let us all turn to thee, God our father for true guidance, wisdom, forgiveness of others in the search for common ground. long debated and sometimes fought over include State Legislature ends year in state of frenetic confusion and abroad, Carter was asked if he would consider sponsoring a Begin-Sadat summit in the United States. He replied: Id love to see that happen. Id love for them to get together in a summit, yes. But it doesnt matter where they meet.

That decision is up to them. I have talked to both of them about getting together again. But I dont want to build up false hopes by insinuating to you that I can issue an order or even an invitation that both Prime Minister Begin and President Sadat would respond to. They are quite independent. And apparently each of them overestimates my influence on the other.

Having arranged the summit, Carter said Monday, There is no cause for excessive optimism but there also is no cause for despair. Heavy rains anticipated for county NORTH COUNTY Three to six inches of rain are predicted for inland county areas today because of Hurricane Norman, which is expected to blow ashore between Los Angeles and San Diego, according to a National Weather Service spokesman. A flash flood watch has been called for mountain and desert areas. Southfacing mountains, which abound in North County, are expected to be hardest hit. Heavy surf and small craft advisories have been issued.

Swells will reach three to six feet, and breakers of six to nine feet are expected, according to the spokesman. There is a possibility, the spokesman said, that breakers might go as high as 15 feet on some south-facing beaches. Southeasterly winds of 15 to 25 knots are expected to accompany the choppy seas. Its going to be hazardous for swimmers, but its the kind of surf surfers look for if theyre on a south-facing beach, said the NWS spokesman. The storm was reported to be about 250 miles southwest of San Diego this morning, but was moving toward the coast at about 15 knots per hour.

The main effect of this storm will be the rain, said the spokesman. This is our 16th tropical storm of the season, but the first 15 headed west toward Hawaii. This is the third year in a row, however, in which weve had a storm Please see A-6, Col. 5 Good Evening The eather Heavy rains and isolated thundershowers possible into Wednesday; todays ozone forecast, Mondays high-low, 94-66; ozone reading, .08.

Inside Today's T-A By BILL PACKER T-A Capitol Bureau SACRAMENTO The just-completed legislative session was the "most chaotic since he became a state lawmaker in 1968, according to Assembly Speaker Leo T. McCarthy, D-San Francisco. McCarthy said that the unusual logjam of bills in the last few weeks of the session was disastrous as 100 or more pieces of legislation died due to lack of time for floor votes. At the same time, Sen. John Stull, R-Escondido, said in an interview Friday: Starting out the final week of a (two-year) session with over 600 bills on file (agenda) and working to midnight every night is utter stupidity and taxpayers deserve better.

In my 12 years (in the Legislature) this is the worst example without doubt of complete and utter nonsense. Stull, who is retiring this year, and others interviewed, complained that in the last minute rush many lawmakers were voting on bills that they had no idea what was in them. The just-completed session technically ended Thursday at midnight when many bills died without the floor vote because of the massive logjam. However, the Legislatures leadership decided to extend the session for Philps resigning, leaving questions Tomcat drops turkey label Pilots winging it with F-14 worked well, but you cant allow 24 days to deal with the myriad of bills pending final action following the Legislatures summer recess. Lawmakers generally begin work the first of the year, taking time out for the holidays.

Also, they take a month-long summer recess in July. When they return in August, (this year they returned the second week in August), the pace is always hectic until the end of the session. But according to those interviewed, this was the worst ever. including Senate President Pro Tern James R. Mills, D-San Diego, contributed the unusual chaos to time spent after the June election developing legislation to implement Proposition 13 and aid local governments.

Others noted that this is an election year, which added to the frenzy as well as renewed voter awareness as perceived by most legislators after passage of Prop. 13. Assemblyman Daniel Boatwright, D-Concord, is chairman of the Ways and Means Committee and he attributed the logjam in part this year to an "irresponsible number of bills that some lawmakers introduced in the last two years. Boatwright said some legislators in-Please see A-6, Col. 4 But in March of this year, luck was not with the two crewmen whose F-14 plowed into a truck driving north on Interstate 15 as the plane was on its landing approach to Miramar.

A crewman died, and the pilot was injured. In 1976, two F-14s crashed in almost the same location at Miramar in less than 24 hours. One of the accidents was determined to be the fault of pilot error, the other of mechanical failure. Despite these and the other seven accidents about which San Diego County residents have read and heard through the local media, Navy statistics do show the F-14 as being one of the safest planes flying. In comparison to the first 150,000 flight hours of both the F-14 and the F-4 Phantom, the F-14 had 23 losses compared to the F-4s 72, said Capt.

Lee Ermis, wing operations officer. Ermis said the figures break down to 1.52 accidents for every 10,000 hours flown by the F-14, whereas the F-4 Please see A-6, Col. 1 the nations land but own half the uranium reserves, 16 percent of the coal areas and 4 percent of the natural gas and oil fields, plus acres of forests and mineral deposits. Theyre energy-rich, says Gabriel. Youre talking about 250,000 people owning billions and billions of tons of coal, billions of tons of uranium, and 4 percent of the oil and gas.

Gabriel puts the worth of Indian land definitely in the billions and says it could greatly improve the Indians living standards. Indians represented by the tribal energy council now earn about $1,400 per capita annually, and Peter McDonald, the Navajo who is chair urgency bills through Friday. At a Capitol news conference, McCarthy said basic reforms are needed to prevent such a frenetic pace. McCarthy, considered the second most powerful elected official in California next to the governor, said he will be meeting with leaders of both parties in each house to consider reforms including limiting the number of bills each legislator can carry to 25 a year. An irony of the frenetic pace here was that it occurred at the conclusion of a Legislators carry bills from the first year to the second two-year session.

In 1972, California voters approved a Constitutional amendment requiring that the sessions be two years instead of one in duration. The argument in favor of the change was that it would ease the chaos and congestion common at the end of the annual sessions. Stull said that under the two-year session, legislators just carry bills from the first to the second year, and therefore the legislation piles up all the more. McCarthy said that the change has lowes, commander of the Fighter Airborne Early Warning Wing, Pacific Fleet. We (Naval aviators) had nine times greater chance of having an accident in the mid-fifties with the aircraft we had then than we do today.

But a former military pilot now working as a congressional aide in Washington, D.C., questioned whether the F-14 is too advanced. Theres no question about it being Analysis the worlds best aircraft, he said, not wanting to be identified. But its just too much airplane for some pilots it is not a very forgiving plane, for it leaves little room for error. In July, an F-14 was involved in a midair collision southwest of San Diego, which sent an A-4-D Skyhawk into the sea. The Tomcat landed safely at North Island with only a damaged wing.

All three Navy fliers were safe. cases they drive such a hard bargain they drive themselves out of the market. Ed Gabriel, executive director of the Council of Energy Resource Tribes, said of the Indians bargaining stance: In all cases that I know of, theyre going competitive in the bidding and theyre going very rough on the negotiations. Im very proud of them. The energy council, formed in 1975 by 25 tribes representing almost one-third of the nations Indians, provides a voice in Washington and gives technical help in managing Indian energy resources.

Those resources are considerable. Indian tribes occupy only 4 percent of designed to function in earth not porous enough for septic tanks. Many of these units, called evapotran-spiration systems, did not work, forcing Philp to declare a moratorium on permit approvals for them. It also was reported that one individual associated with a company manufacturing these systems received fees from developers of $10,000 in some cases to obtain what were termed routine permit approvals for the system from health department officials. The San Diego office of the Federal Bureau of Investigation has conducted an inquiry into the granting of these permits, but has issued no comments beyond that.

Philp, who did pot cover this situation in his statement, has had no reported connection with it except to issue the moratorium and to express an opinion that this type of system can work. Philp also found himself at loggerheads with county supervisors this year when he said their effort to assess the level of paraquat in marijuana legally sold here would be a waste of time. By THOMAS J. MORROW T-A Staff Writer MIRAMAR NAVAL AIR STATION -This is meant to be a simple story about the worlds most complex fighter aircraft. Since being introduced to the fleet, the Navys F-14 Tomcat has unfairly earned a reputation in some circles as a costly, unsafe flying turkey.

Costly? Yes. A turkey? They dont fly; the F-14 does. Unsafe? Statistics just dont bear this out. The Tomcat has not been without its problems. Since 1975, no less than 23 of the swing-winged jets have crashed or been involved in some sort of accident.

Of the 23 accidents, 10 have involved F-14s flying out of Miramar Naval Air Station. Navy officials maintain the reason that so much negative publicity jias been generated when a mishap occurs is the 21 million price tag on each plane. This is the safest plane we have flying today, said Rear Adm. F.G. Fel- By STEVE LA RUE T-A Staff Writer SAN DIEGO Dr.

John Philp has resigned his $49,000 per year post as director of public health for San Diego County after 2 Vi years on the job. The resignation was accompanied by a terse 4-paragraph statement that left unanswered questions. Philps resignation is effective Sept. 29, but he has indicated he will not return to his office before then in order to use accumulated vacation time. He was reportedly already on vacation this morning and was not available for comment.

Philp said in the statement that he is reluctant to leave because persons trained in medicine and public health administration are in demand. Philp, 59, indicated in the statement that he will continue with his medical career, though probably not as a public servant elsewhere. A more immediate issue at the county health department than grant approvals has been the granting of permits between November and April of more than 140 home sewage treatment units Indians. The Indians do not view all past agreements unfavorably. In cases where the Indians see past wrongs, they are using the law to try to right them.

They are trying to renegotiate more favorable deals on many BIA-signed contracts and have had a measure of success. McDonald recently led a successful fight for renegotiation of his Arizona tribes coal lease with El Paso Natural Gas and Conolidation Coal. The lease, signed in the mid-1960s, gave the Navajos a royalty of 15 cents a ton, included few environmental safeguards and did not mention who would reclaim land destroyed by strip-mining.

Unless we manage our resources properly now, we will not have them in 20 or 30 years, he said. I think it will mean our survival and a future for our children. The Indians blame the government for some past business problems. Gabriel says, for example: The government, acting as a trustee through the Bureau of Indian Affairs, has done a pretty sloppy job. BIA officials admit that bad judgment or poor advice soured many leases and say they now scrutinize leases more carefully while turning over more of the responsibility to the Court busing order asked SAN FRANCISCO (UPI) The California Supreme Court today was asked for an emergency order overturning a lower court decision stopping mandatory busing in the Los Angeles school bus controversy.

I have every reason to believe the court understands the urgency of the case and will act promptly, said Fred Orkand, legal director for the ACLU in Southern California. Orkand sought a mandate ordering the Court of Appeals to set aside its Friday ruling that the busing plan, which has been in the works for 15 years, may do more harm than good and that more hearings are needed, By MARK POTTS NEW YORK (AP) The Indians who own half the U.S. uranium reserves and billion of dollars in other energy resources are becoming vastly better businessmen than their forbears the Manhattans who lost their island home for just $24 in trinkets. Though a source of pride to the Indians, their new financial approach is seen differently by businesses that deal with them. Theyre afraid theyre going to get beaten, so they drive the hardest bargain they can, said John LaGrange of Bear Creek Mining Co.
