Mideast
proposal

Israelis
By UPI
Israel was stunned yesterday but
Arab nations applauded President
Carter's proposal that Israel with
draw from all territories seized
during the 1967 Mideast war.
"This was not expected and we are
astonished," said a high-ranking
Israeli source of Carter's latest
peace initiative.
However, Egypt called the change
in U.S, policy "pro-Arab" and Jordan
hailed it as "a positive new step."
Stale Department spokesman
Hodding Carter 111 outlined the
proposals Monday and said they were
based on U.N. resolutions passed
after the 1967 Arab-Israeli War and
the 1973 Yom Kippur War.
He said the Carter administration,
which is pressing for a Middle East
peace conference this year, in
terprets the resolutions to mean that
Israel should withdraw "on an three
fronts of the Middle East that is
Sinai, Golan, West Bank and Gaza.

Dayan rejected what he said was an
implication of Israeli intransigence in
the new peace initiative.
In a statement, Dayan said: "There
is no foundation to the assumption
implied in the U.S. statement that
Israel excludes any territory from the
framework of future negotiations
with the Arab states."
Other Israeli officials said the U.S.
proposals were likely to encourage
extreme Arab demands.
The State Department's action was
given front-page treatment in
Egyption newspapers. A headline in
the newspaper Al Akhbar said "An
American warning to Israel."
The Middle East News Agency said
the American position was "very
strong and should be considered as an
emphatic message to Israeli Premier
Menahen Begin."
The agency said the proposals were
"pro-Arab" since they did not
mention "the Israeli demand for
establishing diplomatic and trade
relations with Arab states" as part of
an overall settlement.
Arab and Israeli officials agreed
That the most controversial aspect of
Carter's plan concerned the volatile
West Bank of Jordan.
Israel has an emotional and
historical claim to the territory going
back to Biblical times. However, the
Carter administration has suggested

Palestinian homeland linked to
Jordan.
Israeli officials also said the timing
of the new proposals was unfortunate,

Anti-quota proposal defeated
WASHINGTON (UPI) . The Senate
yesterday rejected a proposal that
prohibited the federal government from
requiring fedetally-funded contractors
or institutions to give special con
sideration to minorities in hiring and
admissions.
Sen. S. I. Hayakawa, R-Calif.,
proposed the amendment to a $60.7
appropriations bill for the departments
of Labor; and Health, Education and
Welfare. It was rejected by a vote of 63 to
31.
A similar amendment was adopted in
the House version of the same bill, so the
matter must be settled in House-Senate
conference.
Later in the day the Senate was to
debate issues raised in the bill involving
funds for abortions and school busing.

"We met all our test objectives and we

"However, we have several problems
which have to be looked at before we can
schedule it for Friday."

Hiyakawa's amendment would have
prohibited HEW from requiring any
"timetable, goal, ratio, quota or other
numerical requirement" relating to
minorities as a condition of receiving
federal funds.
HEW says it does not require quotas.
But Hayakawa said the difference
between quotas and other "affirmative
action" requirements is that between "a
gloved fist and bare knuckles."
Sen. Edward Brooke, R-Mass., said
Hayakawa's amendment would have
"set us back 25 years." He said af
firmative action programs so far have
not significantly increased participation
of minorities in higher education; black
Americans are only 1 per cent of those
annually receiving doctoral degrees.

"All the evidence points to all of our
ancestries being traced to Africa, whites
included," he said.
"It doesn't matter who built the
pyramids maybe it was brown people.
But it wasn't whites. What I'm saying is
we should all relax and not take race so
seriously."
Donald IC. Johanson, curator of
physical anthropology at the Cleveland
Museum of Natural Histroy, said his
research backs Cobb's conclusions.
Johanson is best known for his discovery
in Ethiopia of human fossils that placed
the age of mankind at more than 3
million years.
"We can demonstrate with the
evidence now in hand . . . that we may
trace ourselves back to a single area of
the world and to a single human
species," he said.
"Knowing that we are related to one
another can break down a tremendous
number of barriers."
blings" from President Carter, debated
how it might whittle the bill down to size.
In its initial actions, the Senate:
— Rejected a proposal by Sen.
William Proxmire, D-Wis., to roll all
increases in individual programs con
tained in the bill back to levels proposed
by Carter, a total cut of $l.B billion.
Cut $65 million from grants to
school systems for the education of
disadvantaged children.
--: Cut. $32.5 million from federal
"impact" aid to school systems with
many children of federal employees.
Carter had-proposed a $344 million cut in
that program. ,
The Senate ran into a classic budget

vantaged children.

Alaskan oil pipeline
fee cuts necessary
W4SHINGTIN (UPI) 'The Inter
state Commerce Commission yesterday
unanimously rejected high trans
portation rates proposed by the owners
of the Alaska pipeline, ordering the oil
companies that own the pipeline to cut
their fees by some 20 per cent.
The commission said it turned down
the proposed fees because the com
panies wanted to charge twice for in
terest they are paying on money
borrowed to construct most of the $9.7
billion pipeline.
ICC chairman Daniel O'Neal
predicted the ,companies will challenge
the commission's ruling in court.
O'Neal said the ICC has ample power
to ,force the companies to pump oil
through the 800-mile pipeline if they try
to refuse to do so under the / lower rates,
as some of the representatives hinted
Monday they might.
The eight companies that own the line
Amerada Hess, Atlantic Richfield,
British Petroleum, Exxon, Mobil,
Phillips, Sohio and Union had
proposed rates ranging from $6.04 to
$6.44 a barrel to take effect starting
tomorrow.
The commission rejected the proposals
from all but Phillips, ordering them to
submit new proposals ranging no higher
than $4.68 to $5.10 per barrel. It did not
act on the Phillips' proposal because
that company's rate is not scheduled to
go into effect until July 20.
The nine members of the commission
Monday heard oil company arguments
in favor of the proposal and challenges
from the Justice Department, the state
of Alaska, the Arctic Slope Regional
Corp., representing Alaskan natives and
the ICC staff, all of whom claimed the
Warren Magnuson, D-Wash., said there
were "rumblings" of a veto unless the
bill were cut.
Eagleton offered, "with a heavy
heart," an amendment cutting $165
million for education of disadvantaged
children.
Sen. Edward Brooke, R-Mass., said he
agreed there should be cuts "but not for
disadvantaged children."
"If not here, where?" demanded
Eagleton.
The Senate finally compromised on a
cut of $65 million for the children,
bringing the Senate bill down to that of
the House on that item.
Proxmire charged that the bill is
based on "misleading" arithmetic.
company proposals were illegal and
excessive.
Commission members studied and
debated their possible courses of action
in closed session for more than five
hours yesterday before their unanimous
vote.
O'Neal said a key factor in rejecting
the company requests was that they
would have provided an 8 per cent return
on the value of the pipeline while double
counting the huge amount of interest on
borrowed money in arriving at that
value.
He said the commission set as its
maximum a 10 per cent return on the
pipeline's value with the interest
counted only once.
In using that formula the ICC said the
maximum fees it would approve are
$4.85 per barrel for Hess, a $1.59 cut;
$4.91 per barrel for Arco, a $1.13 cut;
$4.68 per barrel for BP, a $1.67 cut; $5.10
per barrel for Exxon, a $1.17 cut; $4.84
per barrel for Mobil, a $1.47 cut, $4.70 per
barrel for Sohio, a $1.46 cut; and $4.98 per
barrel for Union, a $1.20 cut.
The reductions will mean little to
consumers in the lower 48 states, who
will pay about the world price for
Alaskan oil under rules set by the
Federal Energy Administration.
It will, however, add millions to the
state treasury in Alaska and - to money
the Eskimos have for schools, roads and
hospitals.
Alaskan officials have estimated
every penny reduction in the tran
sportation fees will mean $1 million a
year for the state. That is because
transportation fees are subtracted from
Ihe selling price before the state's 12.5
per cent royalty on each barrel of oil is
calculated.
