Israelis hand Sinai
over to Egyptians
RAF AH, Egypt
Israel returned the eastern Sinai
Desert to Egypt Sunday, ending
nearly 15 years of occupation m
emotion-charged ceremonies
that brought cheers tears, hots
and vows of eternal peace
Shouts of "Allah Akbar" —
"God is Great" — went up from a
throng of 2.000 Arabs watching
as a huge red. white and black
Egyptian flag was unfurled over
the new Sinai border checkpoint
outside Rafah
Trumpets blared, drums
boomed, fireworks puffed m the
sky. 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

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
