Israel West By ARTHUR MAX Associated Press Writer JERUSALEM (AP) Prime Minister Menachem Begin'g government adopted a plan yesterday for altering Israel's 14- year military rule of occupied Arab terri tories by bringing in civilians and even tually Palestinians. Cabinet Secretary Arieh Naor de scribed the move to reorganize rule of the West Bank and Gaza Strip as a "confidence-building measure," appar ently to encourage Palestinians to join U.S.-mediated negotiations between Egypt and Israel for autonomy in the occupied areas. The plan is an administrative matter that does not need legislative approval. Although few details of the plan were disclosed, Naor said that beginning Dec. 1, Israeli civilians will handle such func tlons as education, health and agricultu ral development. Later, Palestinians will assume senior positions in managing these affairs, he said. "It is not correct to say that civilians will replace the military government," Naor said.

If the civilians were not under military authority, Naor said, "the implications would be very far-reaching." The nationalist Palestinian leadership in the West Bank condemned the plan. "I think it is another step in establish ing complete Israeli control," said Ibra him Tawil, mayor of El Birch. Zafer al-Masri, deputy mayor of Nab lus, said in a telephone interview, "it doesn't matter if the occupier is in uni form or a suit. He is still on my land." Sponsored by Defense Minister Ariel Sharon, the plan is the first reorganiza tion Israel has carried out in its military government since it captured the territo ries in the 1967 Arab-Israeli war. Army officers have been in complete charge of military and civilian affairs, although elected Arab mayors run urban affairs at the municipal level. Naor said the civilian administrators will remain under the authority of the military governor, who is "the sovereign authority under international law and the Camp David accords." He also said the changes would include giving some of the military govern ment's authority to the regular army. The original plan, published in brief by the Defense Ministry, said the civilians would come under Sharon's direct au thority, bypassing the military govern ment. The change apparently was aimed at avoiding the impression that Israel was taking a step toward formal annexa tion. The Arab mayors, elected in 1976 in a wave of support for the Palestine Liber ation Organization, flatly refuse to par ticipate in negotiations for autonomy, calling it another guise of occupation. They demand full independence and say only the PLO has the authority to negotiate for the Palestinians. Lately, Israeli occupation authorities have sought to undercut the mayors by banning pro-PLO statements and the influx of PLO funds into the West Bank. But at the same time, they are provid ing area villages with financial aid and development of electricity, roads and running water calculating that the rural population which makes up 70 per cent of the West Bank's 750,000 Arabs will carry decisive weight in the elections envisaged in the autonomy plan. Saudis would share information with U.S. JIDDA, Saudi Arabia (AP) Saudi Arabia said Saturday it would share information gathered by AWACS spy planes with the United States. But the Saudis apparently vetoed having American crews in the craft, saying they oppose any "partnership." A statement carried by the official Saudi news agency summarized the country's position on the projected deal to buy the sophisticated U.S.-built radar planes: • The kingdom agrees to adhere to the customary conditions acted upon normally in the letters of presentation and acceptance. • The kingdom is keen for security and safety of the equipment and wel comes understanding and cooperation in this respect (this appeared to mean the Saudis would accept American help in maintenance of the planes). • The kingdom promises to use the AWACS planes within its own regional borders. o The kingdom has no objection to exchanging information that is of in terest to the security of the two con tracting countries. The agency quoted a Foreign Min istry spokesman as saying the Saudi foreign minister, Prince Saud al-Fai sal, "clarified" that the kingdom "does not accept any partnership as regards these planes" when he met Prime Minister Menachem Begin agreed to a plan for altering Israel's 14-year military rule of the West Bank and Gaza Strip in an apparent easing of a declaration made in the spring, pictured above, to never give up any occupied territories as long as he is leader of Israel, Cuban exodus possible, analyst says " By BARTON REPPERT Associated Press Writer WASHINGTON (AP) A CIA analyst says serious economic problems and internal discontent may prompt Cuban President Fidel Castro to encourage "a new large-scale exodus" of refugees from the Communist-ruled island nation. The forecast came in a compendium of papers on Western hemisphere countries released yesterday by the congressional Joint Economic Committee. Analyst Russell Swanson of the ClA's National Foreign Assessment Center wrote that in coming years, "the Castro government faces its most serious economic challenge since the transition from capitalism to socialism in the early 19605." Despite improvements in areas such as health and education, Cubans have seen a decline since the mid-1960s in per capita supplies of clothing and key staples such as sugar, rice, beef and coffee while "the housing shortage has gone from bad to worse," he•said. "Revolutionary fervor among both the young and the old is on the wane because of continuing consumer austerity," Swanson said., "At the same time, the prospects for dynamic economic development are bleak for at least the next decade." In the face of deep-rooted economic problems, he wrote, "Havana could again seek to defuse internal discontent through large-scale emigration a tactic employed successfully on three previous occasions in the past 22 years." German rally sparks controversy By SUSANNE M. SCHAFER Associated Press Writer HONN, West Germany (AP) Contro versy over a peace rally, which sponsors hope and will be the largest in post-war German history, is isolating Chancellor Helmut Schmidt from his party and threatening Bonn's support for NATO defense policies. The various religious, union, environ mental and anti-war groups organizing the Oct. 10 rally say they expect 100,000 to 150,000 marchers to converge on the West German capital. Schmidt has been quoted in the West German press as telling his closest advis ers the rally is a "direct challenge" to his government, and may incite violence. But former Chancellor Willy Brandt, as chairman of Schmidt's Social Demo crat Party, has refused to forbid mem bers from attending. Brandt, a Nobel Peace Prize winner, wants to ensure that the SPD does not lose its youth vote. He has said the peace movement expresses members' views Friday with U.S. Secretary of State Alexander M. Haig Jr. in New York City. The U.S. Embassy said its staff, translated the Arabic text as saying "the kingdom does not accept any sharing as regards these planes," in stead of "any partnership." But em bassy officials said they did not know exactly what the Saudis had in mind. In Washington, where the deal needs approval from a deeply divided Con gress, the State Department had an nounced after the New York meeting that "firm agreements" had been reached with the Saudis on areas of operation of the Airborne Warning and Control Systems advanced radar planes. Spokesman Dean Fischer said they would be "consummated as specific agreements as we implement the pro gram." Undersecretary of State James L. Buckley earlier told a congressional committee that various "understand ings" with the Saudis included this point: "Only carefully screened Saudi and U.S. nationals will be permitted to be involved with these aircraft. Given the shortage of Saudi aircrews and technicians, this means that there will be an American presence in the air craft and on the ground well into the 19905." that the party must take into account. Many West Germans, especially the young, interpret NATO plans to base 572 U.S.-made nuclear missiles in Western Europe as a sign that the United States values military superiority over disar mament. They cite the U.S. refusal to ratify its SALT II arms limitation treaty with the Soviets as support for this view. The rally comes on the heels of the largest anti-American demonstration ever held in West Berlin during the Sept. 13 visit by Secretary of State Alex ander M. Haig Jr. and terrorist at tacks against Americans or U.S. military installations in Heidelberg, Ramstein, Frankfurt and Wiesbaden. It occurs at a particularly inopportune time for Schmidt, who is facing opposi tion to the NATO missile plans, growing public dissatisfaction with his party and a strained relationship with his coalition partner, the Free Democrats. The rally's organizers contend it is not anti-American, but a plea for detente and disarmament in both the East and West. The proposal for joint Saudi-Ameri can crews was made to overcome congressional objections based on fears the Saudi monarchy might ulti mately collapse and the planes would fall into revolutionary hands, as hap pened with U.S.-made equipment sold to Iran. President Reagan has said he would not allow Saudi Arabia to become "an Iran," implying the United States would protect the Saudi throne from internal as well as external enemies. "I have proposed this sale because it significantly enhances our own vital national security interests in the Mid dle East," Reagan told a White House news conference last week. Fischer said Haig and Saud dis cussed overall security for the Mideast during their hour-long session, but that Haig neither sought nor received addi- Last year, more than 120,000 Cubans fled to the United States in a massive boatlift sanctioned by the Castro regime. The exodus swamped U.S. immigration facilities and led to friction in some areas where refugee resettlement camps were located. "Castro would probably prefer to negotiate .a long-term, orderly departure for some 1 to 2 million Cubans on the periphery of the revolution, but he is not above threatening a new large-scale exodus to achieve his goal," Swanson said. "In addition, growing numbers of Cubans could take it upon themselves to leave illegally and thus escalate bilateral ten sions." U.S.-Cuban relations have been strained recently over 0) charges voiced by Castro on July 26 that the CIA may have caused an epidemic of Dengue fever which has killed more than 100 Cubans and caused another 273,000 to become ill, according to Cuban officials. In response, the State Department called Castro's allegation "totally without foundation". In August the Reagan administration declared that a Soviet military buildup in Cuba has far surpassed the island's defense needs. Late last month, administration officials said the United States would set up a new "Radio Marti," patterned after Radio Free Europe, to beam Spanish-language broadcasts into , Cuba in an effort to challenge Havana's powerful propaganda apparatus. AWACS radar plane tional guarantees regarding the use of AWACS. The Saudis did not comment follow ing the meeting. If the $8.5 billion arms package passes Congress, delivery of the five planes is scheduled for 1985. Haig is to testify again before the Senate Foreign Relations Committee today. In response to the Saudi statement, Israel said yesterday that Saudi Ara bia's apparent refusal to accept Amer ican crews on the AWACS spy planes shows an intention to use the aircraft against Israel. The Cabinet of Prime Minister Men achem Begin said in a statement that Saudi opposition to any "partnership" with the United States was "additional proof, if any were needed," that the arms sale would be "a grave danger to the security of Israel." Monday, Oct. 5 8 The opposition Christian Democrats counter that the demonstration hints of a "dangerous one-sidedness". 4) To Schmidt's embarrassment, 48 of the SPD's 218 members of Parliament have signed a statement saying they support ed the rally and would attend. Although Schmidt's coalition won a landslide victory a year ago this month, a lagging economy and his party's factio- y) nalism have aroused speculation he won't be able to complete the four-year term.

(AP) Heavy casualties were reported Saturday in a Soviet-backed government offen sive to cut off insurgent arms supply routes to Afgha nastan from neighboring Pakistan. A source in Kabul, Afghanistan said fierce battles had been raging for the past week to 10 days near four towns in the southern province of Logar, in villages around the eastern city of Jalalabad and in Kunar province. The source, who has been accurate in the past, reported hundreds of casualties.

Radio Kabul called Sadat a "butcher" Saturday, in a broadcast monitored in Islamabad, Pakistan. "We ask the world public whether Sadat's disclosure doesn't amount to an undeclared war against the Democratic Republic of Afghanistan," the radio said. "The black hand of imperialism should stop interfer ence in our internal affairs." The Kabul source said Russian helicopter gunships shelled Kabul's suburban districts, Shiwaki Benihisar and Hoodkel, for three consecutive days last week, flattening hundreds of homes and killing an unknown number of civilians.
