Newspaper Page TextSadat and Begin win Nobel Prize MONDAY, OCTOBER 30, 1978 Leaders praised by countrymen THE FIGURE SALON ill United Press International OSLO, Norway — Egyptians and Israelis praised their national leaders for winning the 1978 Nobel Peace Prize, but the warm words were tinged with the tense reality of the stalled Washington peace confer ence. The citation of the Norwegian Nobel Committee itself said Presi dent Anwar Sadat of Egypt and Prime Minister Menachem Begin of Israel received the award, “not only to honor actions already performed, but also to encourage further efforts to work out practical solutions” to ward a Middle East peace. That sentiment was pointedly echoed by President Carter, who was nominated for the prize for his efforts at Camp David, but repor tedly lost out because nominations closed in February. “Time and again in the last year,” Carter said in his message to the leaders still technically at war with each other, “you have overcome the obstacles that stood in your way for you understood the importance of your goal. “I know that this award will be an occasion for you and for all of us to rededicate our efforts, for it makes clear how much the people of the world value your search. ” Though the committee could not award the prize to Carter, there was nothing to stop it from praising the president: “In the efforts to reach a realistic peace order, which could build bridges between former enemies and prevent conflicts of interests, also the positive initiative by U.S.A.’s President Jimmy Carter has played a great role,” the committee said. Despite grumblings from some Egyptians that Sadat shared the prize with Begin, Sadat said through his prime minister he was “very happy.” “Why should he be disap pointed?” Prime Minister Mustafa Khalil said. “The president is hon ored and this honor cannot be di minished if he shares it with some other person.” Khalil said Sadat will donate his share of the $172,000 prize money to ig contest tain. itti Simmons acul stat Difficult goals seen in executing job bill United Press International WASHINGTON — By signing the Humphrey-Hawkins “full employment” bill. President Car ter has set into law two very dif ficult goals for reducing both un employment and inflation. They are: —To cut the number of unem ployed by 2 percent by 1983. —To reduce inflation by 5 per cent by 1983 and to zero by 1988. The inflation rate is now 8 per cent, and the unemployment rate is 6 percent. At a signing ceremony Friday in the White House East Room, Carter said achieving the goals contained in the bill will be “very difficult” but “we will do our best to reach them. “It is filled with great and im portant substance,” Carter said. The legislation gives the re sponsibility of reaching 4 percent unemployment to the president and Congress. The first major tool in reaching the Humphrey-Hawkins goals also went into force Friday when Carter signed an $11 billion ex tension of Comprehensive Em ployment and Training Act job and training programs. It increases aid to training pro grams that prepare poor workers to hold private jobs. For the first time, the legislation links the number of public service jobs to the unemployment rate. Officials predict these jobs will decline from the present 725,000 to 625,000 at the end of this fiscal year. e dii More hunger, report says his native Nile Delta village of Mit Abul Kom, about 40 miles north of Cairo, thus “giving another proof of his loyalty to Egypt’s soil.” In Israel, Begin press spokesman Dan Pattir said the prime minister will call Sadat to congratulate him on the joint award. The prize announcement came after the start of the Jewish sabbath and Begin, as an Orthodox Jew, postponed any direct comment and scheduled a news conference after sunset Sunday. “All of us, all the people of Israel should be very proud and happy. I think the two statesmen — President Sadat and the prime minister of Is rael - more than any other people deserve this prize and I hope that their efforts and the appreciation they won will indeed lead to the sign ing of a peace treaty,” said Israeli Deputy Prime Minister Yigael Yadin. In Egypt, however, a quick sam pling showed many believed Sadat should have got the prize alone. “I cannot believe that Begin was awarded half the prize,” said Ali Hamdi El-Gammal, editor of the newspaper Al Ahram, “What has Begin done to earn this, apart from placing obstacles in the way of peace? “Sadat has launched the peace in itiative from A to Z, and Begin is making difficulties until this mo ment,” said El-Gammal. 10th Anniversary Sale OCTOBER MARKS OUR 10th ANNIVERSARY . ..
