Dayan says Mideast talks
not hurt by Jordan settlers
Mnoni^u i \jr* [nr) — israefl foreign Minister
Moshe Dayan claimed "considerable progress"
Monday toward a peace treaty with Egypt
As far as we are concerned, 1 see no reason, no
obstacle for not reaching an agreement, ” Dayan sad
after a 90-minute session with Secretary of State
Cyrus Vance on a treaty text
With the negotiations apparently back on
course, Vance scheduled a separate meeting with
the Egyptian delegation headed by Defense Minister
Kama! Hassan Ali And American and Israeli legal
experts met to discuss treaty language.
In talking with reporters, Dayan defended
Israel’s decision to “thicken" Jewish settlements on
the West Bank of the Jordan River—a move that has
drawn sharp public criticism from the Carter ad
ministration.
"We don’t think the settlements are illegal,"
Dayan said. "We don’t think the settlements are an
obstacle to peace.
"And I myself think that whenever we see Jews
settling on the ground without driving away a single
Arab, bringing prosperity to the area, becoming far
mers, producing agricultural products, I think it is a
great blessing. "
Dayan said the settlements issue was discus
sea wnn me tgypoans ai a rwo-nour race-to-race
meeting on Sunday. But he said the issue was not
discussed with Vance and other U.S. officials.
Regarding the treaty. Dayan said. “On the realty
tough issues, 1 think we are about to solve them.”
But he tempered the optimistic forecast by say
ing he dfcl not know whether there would be an ag
reement soon. Dayan seemed to suggest it was up to
the Egyptians.
After festering to them very carefullv. and trying
to understand their position, 1 sti* think it is visible and
attainable, and that we can reach an agreement in a
short time,” he said.
Dayan said the tafc Sunday ranged over the
treaty text, for which both sides have proposed
amendments, and the future of the West Bar* of the
Jordan River and Gaza.
The principal issue m dispute is how clearly to
link a treaty between Egypt and Israel with negotia
tions on the status of the West Bank and Gaza and
their 1.1 mdlion Palestinian Arab residents.
Egypt wants a firm connection, thereby showing
the Arab world that it has not forsaken the Palesti
nians whtfe concluding peace with Israel.
Israel wants the weakest link possible, taking
the position that the two sets of negotiations and the
issues involved are different.
supreme uourt agrees to rule
on parents' consent for abortions
WASHINGTON (AP) — The
Supreme Court said Monday it wil
decide whether states may re
quire unwed females under 18 to
get the consent of parents or a
judge before undergoing an abor
tion.
The test case from Mas
sachusetts may provide a distinc
tion from a 1976 Supreme Court
ruling that banned laws giving
parents ' absolute'’ veto power
over young girts decisions to have
abortions.
In the abortion case, a three
judge federal court in Boston
struck down the Massachusetts
law after ruling that it unconstitu
tionaly infringed on the privacy
rights of "mature minors.”
Under the invalidated law. par
ents always had to be consulted
when an unwed minor wanted to
abort a fetus in any stage of her
pregnancy
If the parents refused to con
sent, a state judge could allow the
abortion if ruing that it was in the

minor’s best interests. If the par
ents and judge refused consent,
the abortion would not be allowed.
The Supreme Court in 1973
legalized abortions, basing its rul
ing on women’s right of privacy
The still-cootroversial decision
sad states may not interfere with
a woman's choice to have an
abortion during the first three
months of pregnancy.
States may play a role n pro
tecting the woman's health in the
pregnancy s second trimester and
may take steps to protect fetal life
in the final trimester, the court
said.
Two years ago. the justices
struck down a Missouri law that
gave parents of unwed mnors the
power, through denying consent
of disallowing abortions.
In a busy day on the bench, the
justices also:
• Agreed to decide whefter a
Louisiana woman fired by former
Rep. Otto Passman may sue her
ex-Ooss for alleged sexual bias
Lower courts ruled that Shirley
Davis was legally barred from
suing.
• Left intact a Chicago ordi
nance that forces car rental com
panies to pay for their customers'
parking tickets. Lawyers for Hertz
and Avis told the court that the
ordinance will cost their com
panies mifcons
• Said they will decide whether
minors accused of crimes may be
questioned by police after asking
to consult with their probation of
ficers. The California Supreme
Court ruled that the “Miranda'’
doctrine protecting criminal sus
pects extends to youths who want
help from probation officers.
•Agreed to decide in a case
from Texas what administrative
safeguards states must provide
for parents suspected of child
abuse.
