Bedouin men on carnets cheered and Bedouin women trilled m high-pitched ululation — their traditional tongue-warbling outpouring of deep feeling A few hours before the evacuation, about 70 Jewish na tionalists opposed to the with drawal came out of the obliterated Israeli town of Yamit They wept, kissed the ground and rent their garments in Jewish funeral tradi tion Anti-withdrawal activists claimed some of their people were still inside the Egyptian-ruled area and would try to stay there, As sociated Press correspondent Larry Thorson reported Fifteen minutes before the withdrawal deadline two Israeli Kfir jetfighters screamed over Rafah and headed southeast along the new 130-mtle border A scorching dust storm gave way to light rain that failed to dampen the joy of the throng of camel-mounted Bedouins and Rafah Arabs who came on foot to watch the changeover On the other side of the check point. Israeli troops fired tear gas and shots in the air to repel Palestinians who began lobbing rocks when the army put a border of barbed wire across the main street of Rafah Associated Press photographer Max Nash report ed Explosion, fire kill 34 at art exhibition TODI, Italy An explosion and flash fire ripped through an antiques ex hibition Sunday killing at least 34 people and injuring dozens of others, police said Many jumped from the roof of the four-story building onto mattresses piled up below There was a tremendous ex plosion which shook the entire area." said Paolo Pianigiani, a reporter at a radio station across the street from the 15th century building housing the exhibition "For a minute we thought it was an earthquake, then we saw smoke, fire and there were people screaming, screaming." he said "Fire spread quickly and the heat was so intense I saw a bronze statue literally melt " Authorities said about 200 people were inside when the blast occurred They said dozens of people leaped to safety by jump ing onto the mattresses, which townspeople piled on a flatbed truck. People fled to the roof in panic because the windows were blocked by anti-burglar bars Firefighters said they were still searching tor victims m the rubble and that the death toll could go as high as 45 The dead and injured were all believed to be Italians The Italian news agency ANSA, m an unconfirmed report, said at least 60 people were injured Pokce officials said the fire was caused by an explosion, possibly a gas leak at a bar on the third floor Thirty of the injured were taken to hospitals m Perugia and at least eight others were flown by police helicopter to a burn treatment center in Rome, fire officials reported Reagan, Congress haggle over budget WASHINGTON Negotiators for the White House and Congress met for more than two hours Sunday but made little progress toward agreement on a budget com promise officials said Several sources, who asked not to be identified by name, said participants were still moving in the general direction of setting targets for $83 billion to $87 billion m spending cuts and tax increases to reduce the deficit, but shying away from making specific recommendations This approach means defer rmg the major decisions that need to be made to the House and Senate where major clashes can be expected one official said But even this scaled-down compromise effort has produced difficulties at the bargaining table Sources say the White House is demanding that House Democrats in considering legis lation to raise taxes agree in ad vance not to even consider repeal of the 10 percent income tax cut scheduled for July 1983 Sources said Democrats laid out their objections to this demand at the talks on Sunday The next session s scheduled for Tuesday Democrats insist that any com promise budget include steps to change Reagan's tax policy, which they say treats the wealthy better than the low and middle income taxpayers Meanwhile, sources said that whatever the outcome of the talks, there is unlikely to be an agreement on a plan to reduce and delay the 7 4 percent cost of-living increase that Social Security recipients are due to receive on July 1 Archbishop meets with Polish head WARSAW, Poland Martial law ruler Gen Wojciech Jaruzelski met with Archbishop Jozef Glemp on Sunday, the eve of the Roman Catholic pnmate s departure for the Vatican, the Polish news agency PAP report ed PAP gave no details of the un expected meeting — the second between church and state leaders since the Dec 13 imposition erf martial law The agency said the meeting took place in the same govern ment housing complex where Glemp and Premier Jaruzelski met with Solidarity leader Lech Walesa last November to discuss a possible accord between the communist government and the now-suspended independent labor movement No agreement was reached, and Jaruzelski de clared martial law a month later and suspended Solidarity Jaruzelski and Glemp last met on Jan 9 but church sources said no progress was made dunng the brief session The archbishop, returning to his residence Sunday after the two-hour meeting, refused to comment on the talks and said an official communique would be released He was asked if he was op timistic and he replied. "I am al ways optimistic " In another development, the government released a speech by Jaruzelski claiming the West is only hurting itself by imposing economic sanctions on Poland that could force it to default on its massive foreign debt If the capitalist countries and their financial and economic fac tors want us to pay back our debts, to fulfill our committments, they should not — in their own interest — block our import pos sibilities for much longer because the result could be limiting our growth of production and ex port, he said CHIVERAITY THEATRE PRESENTS « A WORLD PREMIERE DRAMA* BENJAMIN DIZZY Ajrtl 23,24.28, 29.30 1 8 00 p * Uniooraitj of Oregon Pookot PlajfaouM Tor ticket* and information call tk« University Tkaatro box office 666-4191
