Begin attacks Egypt’s‘chutzpah’ JERUSALEM (AP) — Prime Minister Menahem Begin lashed out at Egypt Thursday for “chutzpah” — brazenness — in its demands and unreasonableness in its peace talks. But he said Israel stands ready to resume the negotiations. Speaking to a group of French Jews, Begin also said it was “inconceivable” that the United States would pressure him to make concessions to Egypt. Secretary of State Cyrus Vance, trying to revive the negotiations, later conferred with Begin and is to fly to Cairo on Friday to meet with President Anwar Sadat. Begin told a joint news conference after their talks that Vance would “try to convince President Sadat that the negotia tions ... should be renewed. We wish him Godspeed and good success. ’ Vance said he would report to Begin after his meeting with Sadat “and then we shall determine how to proceed from there.” In Cairo, Sadat heard a report from Foreign Minister Mohammed Kamel, the chief negotiator he summoned home ab ruptly Wednesday from Jerusalem after only two days of what were supposed to have been comprehensive talks on political aspects of a peace settlement. Sadat, considering his next move in the fast-developing situation, rescheduled an emergency session of the Egyptian Parlia ment from Saturday morning to Saturday evening. "If the Egyptian government should at any day decide to renew or resume the talks, the government of Israel will be pre pared to do so as well,” Begin said in his speech to the French audience in the Israeli Parliament building. "We hope the talks will be resumed. It is up to Egypt.” Though Begin said the next step is Egypt’s, the Egyptians have said Israel must change its position if the Jerusalem conference is to resume. Begin gave no indication whether he would accept Sadat’s proposal that the separate military negotiations in Cairo be reopened Saturday. Those talks focus on an Israeli withdrawal from the Sinai Penin sula. The Egyptians have said Begin s tough public pronouncements while the talks were under way were one reason for Sadat's abrupt suspension of the negotia tions. The Israeli’s speech Thursday of fered no hint of apology for his previous remarks, however. ,-World at a glance From Associated Prsss reports Last Beetle rolls off line EMDEN, West Germany — The last Volkswagen Beetle sedan, Nazi dictator Adolf Hitler's legacy that helped West Ger mans beef up their post-war economy, rolled off a German as sembly line Thursday. Since Daimler Benz made the first 30 prototype Beetles designed by Ferdinand Porsche 40 years ago, Volkswagen built 19.2 million Beetles to surpass the previous production record of 15,007,034 set by Henry Ford’s Model T in the late 1920s. The Beetle continues to be produced in Mexico, Brazil, South Africa and Nigeria. Models sold in Germany from now on will bear a “made in Mexico" tag.

The plane, with 60 passengers and six crew members, was hijacked 20 minutes after leaving Quito Wednesday. Squatters dismantle homes CAPE TOWN, South Africa — Black squatters racing to stay ahead of government bulldozers hurriedly dismantled their flimsy homes at the Unibell shantytown Thursday. The camp that housed 20,000 blacks just a week ago was expected to be flat tened by the weekend. Before the demolition of the illegal camp began Monday, defiant squatters had vowed to stay in their shacks even when the bulldozers arrived. But on Thursday they were working with makeshift crowbars to pry apart the corrugated iron, cardboard and wooden structures. Economy grows at slower rate WASHINGTON — The nation’s economy grew at its slowest rate of the year in the fourth quarter, the government reported Thursday, but Commerce Department officials termed the full year’s pace strong and likely to continue so.
