The Camp David summit conferees weighed proposals on the future of Israeli-occupied land on the West Bank of the Jordan River. Word of the Begin-Carter meet ing — their first since Sunday — was first relayed by conference sources and confirmed by officials Wednesday morning only after they were confronted by reporters. There was no explanation for the official secrecy about the Carter- Begin meeting, which took place on the eighth day of the summit at this secluded mountaintop retreat. There was no indication that a meeting among Carter, Begin and Egyptian President Anwar Sadat was in the offing Wednesday. £ CO* I 9: I An ^ I Old Friend I has a L ^New Address. re g< rentui covei tructk >lane iter fl 1.00 p it’s Ik sepsi essa The major problem remaining in the way of more direct negoti ations is Sadat’s insistence that the Israelis commit themselves to an eventual withdrawal from the occupied West Bank territories formerly governed by Jordan. Summit sources said the major problem remaining in the way of more direct negotiations is Sadat’s insistence that the Israelis commit themselves to an eventual with drawal from the occupied West Bank territories, formerly governed by Jordan. A White House spokesman, Jer- rold Schecter, eventually acknow ledged that the unannounced, pri vate meeting was held in Carter’s Aspen Lodge residence. Carter met Tuesday morning with Sadat for an hour and 35 minutes. Since Sunday’s Carter-Begin meeting, the bulk of the discussions have involved the Americans and the Egyptians as Carter apparently sought to refine and clarify areas of agreement. As a kind of holding pattern de velops with each side reviewing proposals, conference officials say the final outcome of the summit re mains in the hands of Sadat. Officials now consider it likely the conference will end by today at the earliest. The first meetings of the principals began a week ago.

Another twenty percent, just plain hungry. And yet, in the face of starvation, they have hope. Hope that the rains will return to the African Plain. Hope that the Asian rice crop will be bigger this year. Hope that someone, anyone, with anything to offer will come to help them fight the battle for life. Someone in the Peace Corps. They’d like to stand up for themselves, these prisoners of fate, but they’re just too weak to stand up. But with the Peace Corps a flame begins to flicker. They’ve seen others like you before. Seen the changes you can bring. Two thousand wells on the parched earth of Sahel. Seen how their knowledge helped reduce the grain losses. Who are they? They’re people pretty much like you. (join cil A Public Service of This Newspaper & The Advertising Council People with commitment and skills who’ve assessed their lives and decided there must be more than just having a job. They looked into themselves and Imew it was time for the talk to end and the work to begin. They’re very special people, these people. Totally prepared to give everything they’ve got. And getting back even more than they give. That’s the beauty of the Peace Corps. The work is hard and the pay is lousy, and the progress comes a drop at a time. But the rewards are infinite.

Robert B. Alexander, vice president of Ford’s technical group, said that the No. 2 auto company is “not satisfied with the high level of recalls’ and re cent investigations of alleged defects in Ford cars and trucks. Speaking to reporters at Ford’s 1979-model pre view, Alexander said that although most product defects can he avoided, some “unscheduled maintenance” of automobiles is inevitable, even with stringent quality control during assembly. “But proper quality control must begin at the de sign stage, long before the assembly process even begins,” he said. Alexander said Ford’s massive redesign propis] which will cost the auto firm $20 billion byl "will put us in the best position in our history-S assure that quality is designed and built intoii'j products. ” Ford has been hit recently by a rash of recaSw^ safety-related investigations resulting fronYWv defects in some models. The firm is engaged in a voluntary recalla'i million Ford Pinto and Mercury Bobcat sut© 1 pacts to modify fuel tanks that federal safetyoHI say are dangerously susceptible to explosion anils J in rear-end collisions.
