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.

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,
