Carter warns aginst failure to meet treaty deadline
Washington-President Carter warned
the leaders of Egypt and Israel Thursday
that failure to meet the Dec. 17 deadline
on negotiating a Middle East peace treaty
would be "a very serious matter."
Failure to meet that deadline, set at
the Camp David summit in September,
"would cast doubt on whether the Egypt
ians and the Israelis would carry out the
difficult terms of the upcoming peace
treaty," Carter said.
Speaking with reporters at a White
House breakfast meeting, the president
said if negotiations are not concluded by
Dec. 17, "it would set a precedent that
would have far-reaching, adverse effects."
Shortly after Carter made the announce
ment, the White House disclosed that
Israeli ambassador Simcha Dinitz was to
meet with Carter Thursday.
The peace talks are stalled over a time
table for establishing autonomy on the
West Bank of the Jordan River and in the
Gaza Strip.

The other sticking point involves
whether Egypt would give priority to a
treaty with Israel over existing treaties with
other Arab states.

ister Menachcm Begin and Egyptian
President Anwar Sadat. Carter said the
mission was organized to overcome
obstacles blocking settlement before Dec.
17.
The Egyptians and Israelis have been
negotiating through deputies shuttling be
tweeii Washington and their respective
capit tls.
Carter said he would consider any
future construction of Israeli settlements in
the occupied territory on the West Bank
and Gaza Strip to be a violation of the
Camp David accords.
"I think any violation of the Camp
David accords woud set a very bad prece
dent and would cast doubt on the present
treaty," he said.
"We also would like to see the Camp
David accords carried out. . . enthusiastic
ally in the same spirit we saw typified at
the White House" when the pacts were
signed.
Carter said this has not been the case.
"There have been a rnimber of delays,
quibbling over relatively insignificant
language differences and excessive public
statements on both sides."
The president's comments reflected a
continuing irritation with publicity
surrounding the negotiations. The Camp
David sessions were conducted under a
nearly complete news blackout.
Monopoly allegations
Washington Money paid in first-class
mail rates goes to subsidize the handling of
other types of mail, a representative of
eight states said TJiursday in urging a court
ordered rollback.
"We contend first-class mail-users pay
rates five and sometimes 10 times as high
as some other types of mail that-at least
some of the time-receive identical treat
ment," Michael B. Meyer, lawyer for the
states, told a three-judge panel of the U.S.
Court of Appeals.
"We request that the first-class rate
increase be suspended," Meyer said, refer
ring to last May's hike from 13 to 15 cents
for first -class letters.
The case was brought by the attorneys
general of Maine, Rhode Island, Florida,
Washington, Indiana, Arkansas, Massa
chusetts and Connecticut.
There have been many allegations that
the Postal Service charges an elevated
rate for first-class mail because it has a
monopoly on that type of mail. Mean
while, the Postal Service holds down prices
for types of mail for which it has compet
ition, according to these allegations.
Postmaster General William F. Bolger
and other postal officials have repeatedly
denied such charges, noting the major role
that a separate agency, the Postal Rate
Commission, has in setting rates. The
commission, after extensive hearings, has
endorsed the rate structure that is in
effect.
Overdue meeting
Brussels, Belgium-British Foreign Sec
retary David5wen told NATO foreign
ministers Thursday that they should meet
with their Soviet-led Warsaw Pact counter
parts to create a "political dialogue" in
the interest of detente.
The ministers opened the meeting with
out Secretary of State Cyrus R. Vance,
who is in the Mideast trying to break the
deadlock in the peace talks, and with the
Europeans chiding the Carter admini
stration because it is having second
thoughts about promises to join them in
increasing defense spending.
Owen said it is still "impossible to en
visage" a meeting of military officials of
the opposing blocs. But he said, "I believe
a dialogue between foreign ministers is
overdue."
