'eagan and Sadat conclude talks in Washington ,
By TEItENCE HUNT
Associated Press Writer
WASHINGTON (AP) President Reagan and
Egyptian President Anwar Sadat concluded two
days of talks yesterday with expressions of good
will but clearly at odds over bringing the Pales-
tine Liberation Organization to the Middle East
negotiating table.
Emerging from their final meeting, the two
leaders made no mention of Sadat's call for the
United States to change policy and expand peace
talks to include the PLO, which Reagan has
branded a terrorist group.
However, within two hours of Sadat's departure
the White House reaffirmed what Secretary of
State Alexander M. Haig Jr. had said the previous
night the United States will not recognize or
negotiate with the PLO as long as it refuses to
recognize Israel's right to exist and does not
accept United Nations resolutions calling for
secure and recognized borders for Israel.
"The U.S. position remains clear," said spokes
man David Gergen. "It is the.same position that
has been enunciated before."
For their part. Reagan and Sadat ignored their
differences as they made farewell statements
standing under the White House north portico.
Reagan called the talks valuable, particularly
what he had learned from Sadat "about the
complexities of the problems that we all face in
seeking a just and lasting peace in the Middle
East."
On this subject, Reagan said, "To be complete
ly candid, I was a willing listener."
He pointed out that he will be hearing other
Middle East viewpoints in the coming months.
Israeli Prime Minister Menachem Begin is the
next visitor, who is scheduled to come to Washing
ton on Sept. 9 and 10. He will be followed by
Jordan's King Hussein and Saudi Crown Prince
Fand before year's end.
In Israel yesterday, Begin rejected Sadat's call
for a PLO role in the negotiations. The Israeli
leader told Israel Radio that the PLO was "not a
liberation organizatioq, but a bloody, murderous

Competitors scramble as Star folds
By MIKE FEINSILBER
Associated Press Writer
WASHINGTON (AP) As the Wash
ington Star prints its final edition today,
papers ranging from , the tiny Manassas
(Va.) Journal-Messenger to the mighty
New York Times are scrambling to make
subscribers of the Star's 322,000 soon-to
be paperless readers.
Neighboiing newspapers have been
hesitant about appearing to dance on a
,not-yet-filled grave, but, the Star's read
ership constitutes a big market, and
many papers are laying claim to a piece
.of it.
The New York Times, which already
sells 22,000 copies a day in the Washing
ton area, has been running ads on the
radio, in the Star and also adding more
street vending machines.
The New York Post sends 1,000 copies
of what a Post executive calls its "coun
:try edition" to the capital.
The Richmond (Va.) News Leader has
increased its circulation upstate toward
Washington in Charlottesville, Way
nesboro, Stanton, Harrisonburg, Win
chester and Culpepper and is trying to
lease or buy old Star newsracks.
- "We hope to pick up several thousand
readers who want a good conservative
newspaper," said General Manger John
C. Goode.
Sometimes a bit of sleight of hand is
involved. He's not saying how, but Ron
.Bieberich, circulation director of the
_Annapolis (Md.) Evening Capital, got
hold of the Star's subscription list in
Anne Arundel County, Md., and put a
,crew to work telephoning Star subscrib
ers.
"We called 58 Star customers . and
found 54 were already taking the Capi
tal." Bieberich said. "We signed up one
of the four who weren't."
He adds: "If we don't move quickly,
Star readers are going to just disappear,
or start taking the Washington Post, or
slide over to the Evening Sun (of Balti
more). We want to get our share; we've
picked up 700 subscribers since July 25."
The Evening Sun has been most ag
gressive in the circulation battle. Reach
ing out from once-insular Baltimore, The
Evening Sun has beefed up coverage of
such topics as the Washington Redskins
and run television and newspaper adver
tisements which proclaim: "You're not
losing a Star, you're gaining a Sun."
terrorist organization in the most brutal sense of
the term."
Reagan, in his remarks to Sadat, said, "We will
work closely with Egypt as full partners in our
search for peace and stability in the Middle
East."
We are both anxious to insure that the negotiat
ing process stemming from the Camp David
agreements will resume and succeed," he said.
Sadat praised Reagan as "a great leader of a
great nation" and vowed, "I shall never let you
down."
Later yesterday, Sadat urged U.S. support for
"mutual and simultaneous recognition" of the
PLO and Israel for each other as the next step in
Middle East peace efforts.
After spelling out his proposal to the Senate
Foreign Relations Committee, Sadat told report
ers that he realizes the Reagan administration
and Congress must study the idea before accept
ing or rejecting it.
Sadat called the Reagan administration's at
tainment of the July 24 cease-fire between Israel
and PLO forces in Lebanon "an outstanding
achievement" and continued:
"My idea is this: why not build on this success
and continue in the next step of the mutual and
simultaneous recognition?"
Sadat added, "I'm not putting a question and
needing an immediate answer. No, not at all.
They have to study before they give their idea."
Sadat later presented his proposal to a group of
House members and declared, "We must give the
peace forces a new.momentum."
Majority Leader Jim Wright, D-Texas, presid
ing at the House meeting, lauded Sadat as "a man
of vision, a man of faith, of peace, of brother
hood."
On at least two occasions during his visit Sadat
urged Reagan to begin talking with the PLO as a
step in negotiations toward self-rule for the 1.2
million Palestinians living in the Israeli-occupied
West Bank and Gaza Strip. .

Mitterrand urges French citizens to leave
PARIS (AP) President Francois Mitterrand recalled his ambassador to Iran for
consultations Wednesday and issued a communique urging all French citizens in Iran
to leave the country because of possible danger.
Tehran Radio monitored in London said, however, the French ambassador had
been asked to leave Iran within three days because of France's failure to "respond
positively to Iran's demand for the extradition" of former Iranian President
Abolhassan Bani-Sadr.
Angry crowds demonstrated outside the French Embassy in Tehran for two' days
last week after Bani-Sadr arrived in France and received political asylum. The
Iranian government immediately lodged a demand for his extradition.
"The continuation (of demonstrations in Tehran) could give birth to uncontrollable
actions that would endanger French citizens living there," a communique from the
presidential Elysee Palace said.
"The president of the republic has therefore asked all French citizens (in Iran) to
return as soon as possible to France, and he has called our ambassador to Tehran
home for consultations," the communique said.
"In his absence the operation of our embassy will be conducted by a reduced staff.
Iranian officials have been informed of this decision by a representative of the French
government."
A Foreign Ministry spokesman said last week there were 100 French citizens in
Iran, including 15 diplomats at the embassy.

No plans to change sign ordinance
By CAROL ANDREWS
Daily Collegian Staff Writer
State College has no immediate plans to amend its
sign ordinance despite the discontent of some local
businessmen.
Although the Community Appearance and Design
Review Board is reviewing the ordinance, the changes
being considered are for purposes of clarification, and
no drastic revisions are being discussed, said William
McHale, chairman of the board.
"At this stage; we are having disCussions about the
wording of the ordinance concerning window displays,"
McHale said. "It is more a matter of clarifying the
wording of a section of the ordinance rather than
amending the entire ordinance itself."
And if any changes are made, they will not be in the
immediate future, McHale said.
Some downtown merchants, however, are questioning
whether the municipality has the right to restrict the
number of signs businessmen use.
Several businessmen have recently received citations
from the municipality for violating the sign ordinance.
Danks Department Store, 148 S. Allen St., received a
written citation on July 28, which called for the removal
of two signs in 24 hours or payment of a fine, George
Morgan, manager of Danks, said.
"The borough objected because we have five exits and
we had a sign on each exit," Morgan said.
The ordinance states that on a corner property, such
as Danks, a maximum of three signs is permitted,
Morgan said.
"We are restricted in the number and the size of our
signs," Morgan said. "It is an invasion of our business
rights and limits our ability to advertise."
Danks removed the two signs and charges were

dropped, Morgan said.
The Music Mart, 224 E. College Ave., received a
similar citation for signs advertising an anniversary
sale during the 15th annual Central Pennsylvania Festi
val of the Arts, said Chip Ward, owner of the store.
According to the ordinance, there were too many
signs in the window for the number of square feet in the
building, Ward said.
"I'm not an expert on ordinances, I'm in the music
business," Ward said. "But as long as my signs didn't
offend any of my neighbors I don't see why it should be a
matter of concern to the borough."
The charges against Ward were dismissed after he
removed the signs.
"The signs were not erroneous or offensive and they
were professionally done," Ward said. "I didn't make
them in my basement or have a kindergarten class
draw them."
In addition to the concern with the number of signs,
othpr businessmen are dissatisfied with the ordinance's
definition of a sign itself.
Last month, three citations were issued to Chris
Papadopoulos, owner of Mr. C's, 112 W. College Ave.,
and fill Klaban, owner of Tubbies Water Works, 2231 E.
College Ave., for parking a hot tub in front of Mr. C's,
Papadopoulas said. •
According to the sign ordinance, the tub was consid
ered a sign advertising a beach party at Mr. C's.
Papadopoulos and Klabart said that the hot, tub was
legally parked and parts were being taken from it to
build another hot tub inside Mr. C's.
"They charged us with violating the ordinance by
holding a demonstration or exhibit in front of Mr. C's,
when all we were doing was taking parts off of a legally
parked hot tub," Klaban said. "There was no water in

the hot tub and it was not even hooked up."
Papadopoulas and Klaban are fighting the citations
and are scheduled for a hearing before District Magis
trate Clifford H. Yorks on Aug. 13.
"We are fighting the charges because the borough is
coming down so hard on a lot of businessmen," Klaban
said. "The sign ordinance is so broadly written that
anything made by God or man can be considered a
sign."
Local politicians, however, think the sign ordinance is
needed to limit the amount of signs in State College.
"I think the sign ordinance is effective," State College
Mayor Arnold Addison said. "It tends to control sign
pollution in the borough."
Planning Commission member Donna Queeney said
State College's sign ordinance is similar to such ordi
nances in other communities.
"Ours is not an unusual ordinance," Queeney said.
"In fact, a borough near Harridburg has modeled one
specifically after ours, which must mean it's pretty
effective."
The sign ordinance was designed to protect State
College as a community, but the municipality must be
careful not to be overzealous in enforcement of it,
Queeney said.
"I also question the definition of a sign, but it has to be
written broadly in order to protect the community from
an onslaught of signs," she said.
Most members of the State College Municipal Council
are pleased with the sign ordinance as a whole, Council
President Mary Ann Haas said.
"We as a council have been pretty happy with the
ordinance because it has saved our community from
humongous McDonald's golden arches and humongous
Elby's signs," Haas said.
