Haig sends peace
proposals to British
BUENOS AIRES, Argentina
Secretary of State Alexander
Haig, warning that time “is in
deed running out” in the Bri
tish-Argentine conflict over the
Falkland Islands, sent peace
proposals to Britain Monday
and left here for Washington
The British government, in a
surprisingly swift response to
Haig's proposals, said "at first
sight they do not meet the
requirements strongly ex
pressed by Parliament,
particularly on the need to
regard as paramount the wishes
of the islanders "
It called the proposals worked
out by Haig during four days of
talks with Argentine leaders
"complex and difficult "
Virtually all of the 1,800 re
sidents of the Falklands are of
British descent and opposed to
Argentina, which seized the
British colony April 2
A 40-ship British war fleet is
approaching the Falklands, 250
miles off the Argentine coast
The British Defense Ministry has
refused to give its location, but
unofficial estimates are that
advance units could be within
striking distance of the islands
sometime late this weekend
In Washington, a spokesman
for the Organization of Amer
ican states said the OAS
permanent council would meet
Tuesday at Argentina's request
Most Latin American countries
back Argentina, and the OAS
could theoretically establish a
multilateral defense force
against the British
Israeli soldiers
remove squatters
YAMIT, Occupied Sinai
Israeli troops removed 23
families from a Sinai settle
ment Monday, starting a large
scale evacuation of ultra-na
tionalists opposed to the
Israeli withdrawal from the
desert peninsula
Israel is to hand the last sec
tor of Sinai to Egypt on Sunday.
While soldiers finally began
tackling the Sinai squatters, top
Egyptian and American di
plomats conferred with Prime
Minister Menachem Begin s
government in Jerusalem about
problems between Israel and
Egypt
The army clamped down on
reporters in Yamit, the main
settlement in sand-dune
country on the Mediterranean
coast But reports on the squat
ters’ two-way radios indicated
that a handful of families were
evicted from other settlements
as soldiers removed the 23
squatter families from Talmei
Yosef, five miles east of Yamit
“There was some weeping
and everybody is in depression,
both us and the army," Mena
chem Granit, who was evicted
from Talmei Yosef, told AP
correspondent Marcus Eliason
by walkie-talkie
The soldiers were unarmed
and behaved gently, and there
was virtually no violence, the
Israeli said
In Yamit, upwards of 2,000
squatters tensely awaited the
army Much attention focused
on a dozen extremists who
threaten to commit suicide if
troops try to remove them from
the fortress-like air raid shelter
where they have barricaded
themselves
