Mideastem leaders may meet
RABAT, Morocco (AP) — King Hassan II on
Tuesday said he would not meet Israeli Prime
Minister Shimon Peres for peace talks until Israel
is willing to discuss giving up occupied ter
ritories and granting Palestinians self
determination.
The king's latest statement came after Peres
on Tuesday welcomed flassan's apparent offer to
hold Middle Kast peace talks and declared, "We
will meet."
In a television interview Monday. Hassan
had said that Peres had asked to he invited to
Morocco to talk with the king, who is chairman of
the 21-nation Arab League and acted as in
termediary in the Kgypt-lsrael negotiations.
The king said he would meet Peres "with
grout pleasure” if the Israeli leader had a "serious
proposal."
But on Tuesday. Hassan told French
reporters at the palace his comments should not
have been interpreted as an invitation for face-to
face discussions, but was only a general offer to
demonstrate the Arab side was "open" to
discussions.
"If Mr. Purus has something concrete to pro
pose, ho can put it in an envelope addressed to
the secretary-general of the IJ.N.." ilassan told
the reporters.
Also on Tuesday in Tel Aviv, Peres welcom
ed the king's apparent offer to meet and had said:
"We will meet." Such a meeting would represent
a breakthrough in efforts to expand Arab-lsraeli
peacemaking.
liassan said any eventual talks with Labor
Party leaders in the Israeli government would be
predicated on the "liberation of the territories oc
cupied by force" by Israel and the "recognition of
the Palestinian peoples' right to self
determination."
liassan said that he "expected much from the
Labor Party" in Israel, and added that he hoped
the Soviet Union would also be allowed to par
ticipate in the search for Middle East peace.
He noted that the coming to power of Soviet
leader Mikhail Gorbachev “could make things
evolve."
Outlook bleak for nation’s homeless
By The Associated Press
For tens of thousands of
homeless Americans.

out by charity workers and
seasoned by the bitter contrast
between cozy holiday images
and their own grim prospects as
winter sets in.
And with the numbers of
homeless on the rise in many
cities, shelter workers are wor
ried about how they will accom
modate them, particularly if the
winter is very cold.
In New York, the city is hous

during the coldest part of last
winter, said Suzanne Trazoff.

and women, and there an? 3.959
families in hotels and other tem
porary housing, she said.
i.ast year at this time, the city
had 0,781 individuals in 10
shelters and 3.270 families in
temporary housing, she said,
and at winter's worst, there
were 7.BOO people in shelters.
"1 would say In the past few
years there has been a signifi

Chicago Department of Human
Services, which coordinates
about 40 shelters. "The term
'new poor' is not a figment of
someone's imagination A lot of

Those who work with the
homeless cite a number of
reasons for the increase, in
cluding a shortage of low-cost
housing, deinstitutionalization
of the mentally ill and high
unemployment among many
groups. They also note that they
are seeing more and more single

In San Francisco, when; the
number of homeless appears to

in the number of women and
children seeking refuge or a hot

175 cartoonists devote
strips to hunger themes
NKW YORK (AP) — The superheroes, talking animals
and harried heroines of the nation's comic pages will put
aside their imaginary concerns Thanksgiving Day os 175
leading cartoonists devote their strips to the issue of hunger.
The "Comic Relief" project — conceived by
“Doonesbury’s'" Carry Trudeau and co-sponsored by Charles
Schulz ("Peanuts") and Milton Caniff ("Steve Canyon”) — is
to raise awareness and money to feed the world's hungry.
In addition to broaching the subject of hunger in each of
their strips, the cartoonists have asked newspapers to give
over some space on the comic pages for ads soliciting dona
tions for USA for Africa.
"The comics page has always been something of a public
utility; it is simply there, day in ami day out for HO years, a
totally dependable part of our national culture." the reclusive
Trudeau said in a statement.
"VVluit better way to reach people than through
characters they've known all their lives? On Thanksgiving
Day. 9t) million comics readers won’t be able to avoid a
troubling but hopeful message that world hunger persists,
but there's something we can do about it."
Said Caniff: "We do not expect to save civilization, but
we hope to be credited with an assist."
David Stanford, who edits Trudeau's and Schulz's books
at Holt Rinehart A Winston and helped coordinate the pro
ject. said it now includes almost every major cartoonist, each
dealing with the subject in his or her own way.
"Doonesbury” serves up a dinner for the homeless in
front of the White House. The title character of "Nancy" says
she is starving, but "relatively speaking." Snoopy of
"Peanuts" alludes to his empty supper dish.
There are. of course, numerous gags of the sort in which
a child offers to make the supreme sacrifice and send his
broccoli to foreign children.
