world that has repealed capital punishment by a public vote.

WASHINGTON — Twenty airlines ended a week-long vigil
outside the Civil Aeronautics Board Wednesday and filed claim
for hundreds of routes in the Great Air Rush of 1978.
The routes were ufPfor grabs on a first-come, first-served
basis under a provision in the airline deregulation bill signed
Tuesday by President Carter.
The markets being sought are those not served now by any
airline or those which airlines hold authority for but are not using.
Most of the nation’s major cities are involved.
The jet-age version of a frontier land rush began last Thurs
day when a United official started the line outside the CAB to
assure that carrier first choice once Carter signed the bill. That
surprised the other carriers, but they quickly rushed representa
tives to the queue.
Beirut fighting flares,
straining cease-fire
BEIRUT, Lebanon (AP) —
Syrian troops and Christian
militiamen traded gunfire and rock
ets during the night, killing four
civilians and wounding nine and
further straining the Beirut truce.
Police declared all main gate
ways between Beirut’s Moslem
and Christian sectors closed for
traffic as Syrians and Christians
again accused each other of start
ing the clashes.
The shelling flared in the
northeastern Beirut suburbs of
Dikwaneh, Sinn el Fil and Haz
mieh. Sniping centered along the
“green line’’ that divides Beirut
into Moslem and Christian halves.
“Militiamen are expanding the
area of their sniping at Arab De
terrant Forces in and around
Beirut,” the command of the pre
dominantly Syrian ADF said.
“ADF retaliation has so far been
localized to avoid jeopardizing the
cease-fire ...which militia gun
men have been violating for three
weeks almost daily.”
The Christian Voice of Lebanon
radio said Dikwaneh was the
target of several “unprovoked”
shelling attacks by Syrian forces
during the night.
The Syrians ended Lebanon’s
civil war 23 months ago, saved the
Christians from defeat by an al
liance of Moslems and Pales
tinians and prevented establish
ment of a radical regime on their
doorstep.

Cabinet asks for revisions
Israel votes pact approval
JERUSALEM (AP) - Israel gave qualified ap
proval to a draft peace agreement with Egypt Wed
nesday, but instructed its delegation to the peace
conference in Washington to seek important revi
sions in the final text.
Prime Minister Menachem Begin said after a
marathon Cabinet discussion that 15 deputies voted
for the treaty and the amendments he proposed, and
two ministers abstained.
Foreign Minister Moshe Dayan and Defense
Minister Ezer Weizman will leave for Washington
Thursday, the government announced. The U S.
State Department said the talks probably would re
sume Thursday or Friday and that Secretary of State
Cyrus Vance planned to meet with the Egyptian dele
gation Wednesday afternoon.
Egypt has said it also wants to amend the
10-page draft treaty and informed sources estimated
the negotiations may continue for several more
weeks.
“The government of Israel approves in principle
the draft peace treaty between Egypt and Israel,”
Begin said after a 17-hour Cabinet debate that
stretched over three days.
“The Cabinet approves the amendments pro
posed by the prime minister to the draft peace treaty,
has given appropriate guidelines to the delegation
and has authorized its members to continue the
negotiations,” Begin said in a brief prepared state
ment.
He said the final text would require approval by
the Cabinet and would be brought before Parliament
for ratification before the treaty is signed. He waved
aside questions and returned to his office for a meet
ing with members of his Likud Bloc.
Israel radio said Begin would draft a message to
President Carter outlining Israel’s proposed changes
in the draft. The radio also reported that Begin cabled
Israel's objections to a message Carter sent to King
Hussein of Jordan.
Hussein had asked for clarifications of U.S. pol
icy on the future of the West Bank, the Palestinians
and Jerusalem. Begin was briefed on the American
reply by Undersecretary of State Harold Saunders,
who aroused Israeli anger by holding talks with
Palestinian leaders and with Hussein on issues the
Israelis said were still open to negotiation.
Justice Minister Shmuel Tamir, who also pro
posed “a string of suggestions” that were adopted,
refused to disclose the nature of the amendments.
But he hinted to reporters that the proposals would
seriously alter the text.
He said the Cabinet would not have invested so
much discussion “had it not been serious and had it
not gone into important, meritorious issues. But there
was a lot in the agreement when it was brought to us
which got the approval of the whole government.’’
Tamir said the proposed amendments were
vital’’ to Israel, but he added, “I believe Egypt can
accept them.’’
In Cairo, President Anwar Sadat told members
of his National Democratic Party that he was confi
dent a treaty would be signed.
Carter plans more SALT talks
WASHINGTON (AP) — Pres.
Carter, unwilling to give up hopes
of completing a strategic arms
limitation treaty by the end of the
year, is planning to send Secre
tary of State Cyrus Vance to
Geneva next month for talks with
Soviet Foreign Minister Andrei
Gromyko.
It will be the ninth round of
negotiations between Vance and
Gromyko in less than two years in
the thus far faltering effort to com
plete the SALT pact limiting the
deployment of new long-range
bombers and inter-continental bal
listic missiles until 1985.
Vance and Paul Wamke, the
chief U.S. arms negotiator, re
ported to Carter at the white
House on Tuesday night im
mediately after returning from
Moscow where they were unable
to complete the treaty despite the
direct intervention of Soviet Presi
dent Leonid Brezhnew.
It was tentatively decidea at the
meeting with Carter to arrange
another round between U.S. and
Soviet delegations headed by
Vance and Gromyko in Geneva in
about three weeks, according to a
qualified source.
r
The U.S. official, asking not to
be identified, said an announce
ment about the Vance-Gromyko
meeting would be made here
early next week.
The treaty would be signed at a
summit meeting, probably in
Washington, by Carter and
Brezhnev. It would be a mile
stone in arms control and could
serve to improve relations be
tween the two superpowers.
