T Arab self-rule likely permanent United Press International TEL AVIV — Foreign Minister Moshe Dayan told a raucous session of the Knesset (parliament) that Is rael’s proposal granting limited self-rule to Arabs in the occupied lands was “likely to become perma nent’’ even after a five-year test. The parliament, after a six-hour debate punctuated by heckling, voted along party lines Monday night to approve the Cabinet’s re sponse to U.S. demands that Israel explain its plans for the occupied West Bank and Gaza Strip. In essence, the vaguely phrased, three-paragraph statement said Is rael was willing to negotiate the fu ture of the occupied territories after five years of limited autonomy by the area’s 1.1 million Palestinian Arabs. The autonomy plan, put forth last December in response to Egyptian President Anwar Sadat’s peace in itiative, called for dismantling the military government and expanding the role of locally elected represen tatives, while keeping the Israeli army in place. The United States had asked Is rael whether it would make a deci sion about the permanent status of the occupied areas after the five years, and, if so, in what manner would the local Arabs be allowed to express their preferences. But Dayan told parliament Monday: “This is not a short, tem porary period that ends automati cally five years after it starts. “We see administrative autonomy as an arrangement likely to become permanent, complete with its inter nal structure, which makes possible not only review but handling of the most central subject — sover eignty.” This was a reference to the gov ernment’s declaration it would ref rain from annexing the territories outright because of Jordan’s conflict ing claim and was seen as a reitera tion of Israeli policy to bar a sepa rate Palestinian state on land the Begin government insists belongs to Israel by biblical right. Egypt rejected the statement as “continued intransigence’ and U.S. officials in Washington voiced unof ficial misgivings. State Department spokesman Hodding Carter said the United States has repeatedly stepped into the negotiations and might submit a plan of its own. He also said a Mid dle East visit by Secretary of State Cyrus Vance or U.S. mediator Alfred Atherton was “quite con ceivable.” The parliament’s 59-37 vote of approval was generally along party lines. $ EXTRA CASH? $ H/s story will have you singing, laughing, crying, cheering and stomping your feet. 2:40 THE ’ 3 9:50 BUDDY HOLLY STORY |PGk&> Columbia IN STEREO Skyway Twin 822-3300 EAST THE GREAT SMOKEY ROADBLOCK PLUS DIXIE DYNAMITE WEST GO TELL THE SPARTANS PLUS KING KONG Campus M6 - 6512 COLLEGE STATION Skateboard donate blood PLASMA at PUSMA PRODUCTS, INC. 313 COLLEGE MAIN COLLEGE STATION HEIAf BONUS PROGRAM RECEIVE UP TO $64/mo. Help Self $ Help Others £ 846-4611 V K | Farms report expense^ higher than incomes £ United Press International WASHINGTON — More than a fourth of American farms had gross sales last year of less than $1,000 but those same farms re ported expenses that averaged $4,228 per farm, the Agriculture Department said Tuesday. An annual report by the de partment’s Crop Reporting Board indicated that those farm ers whose expenses averaged four times greater than gross sales comprised 27 percent of farms, but spent only 3.1 percent of the nation’s farm production expenditures last year. The report said that total farm production expenditures during 1977 were $97.9 billion, 9.7 per cent more than a year earlier. The average expenditure per farm increased to $36,238, com pared with $32,165 a year ear lier. In 1977 farmers spent 14.8 percent of their expenditures for feed, down from 15.8 percent the year before, and 10.4 percent for livestock, poultry and related expenses, up from 8 percent a year earlier. They spent less for rent, fer tilizer, lime and farm machinery and more for building and fenc ing and interest. In 1976 interest payments took up 5.3 percent of farm expenditures and in 1977 they rose to 6.2 percent. The report contained no analysis of the kind of farmer who grossed less than $1,000, hut some of them likely held down other jobs to support the deficits in their farming operations. Farmers with gross sales be tween $1,000 and $4,999 made up 21.8 percent of the total number of farmers. They spent an average of $6,016 for ex penses, also outspendingtli income and made 3.5 percent all farm expenditures.

Bell to push for completm of police brutality study United Press International WASHINGTON — Attorney General Griffin Bell promised Tuesday evening to push for com pletion of Justice Department inves tigations into more than 200 cases of alleged police brutality against Hispanic-Amerieans, including 50 such complaints in Texas. Bell told members of the congres sional Hispanic Caucus that the de partment “will give renewed effort and priority to eliminating police brutality against Hispanic- Amerieans,” a spokesman said. Spokesman Terrence Adamson said Bell pledged that the depart ment would emphasize training of police officers, “developing sensitiv ity to race problems and vigorous investigation and prosecution where indicated.” Rep. Edward Roybal, D-Calif., chairman of the five-member caucus, said Bell adopted five rec ommendations the group pres ented, including a pledge to speed up review and prosecution of pend ing brutality cases under federal civil rights laws. Until last February, the depart ment’s policy was to leave such cases to the states for prosecution, and only a handful of federal cases were pending involving brutality against Hispanics. But Bell ordered a federal grand jury investigation into the 1975 kill ing of a Mexican-American by the poice chief of Castroville, Texas, ABI sn’t t f It di 'cause enoug Betimi Slin .lied 1 Adventures of the mind & spirit...
