Sadat and Begin win Nobel Prize
MONDAY, OCTOBER 30, 1978
Leaders praised by countrymen

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

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.

EARN OVER s 650A MONTH
RIGHT THROUGH YOUR
SENIOR YEAR.
If you’re a junior or a senior majoring in math, physics or
engineering, the Navy has a program you should know about.
It’s called the Nuclear Propulsion Officer Candidate-
Collegiate Program (NUPOC-C for short) and if you qualify,
you can earn as much as $650 a month right through your
senior year. Then after 16 weeks of Officer Candidate School,
you’ll receive an additional year of advanced technical
education. This would cost you thousands in a civilian school,
but in the Navy, we pay you. And at the end of the year of
training, you’ll receive a $3,000 cash bonus.
It isn’t easy. There are fewer than 400 openings and only
one of every six applicants will be selected. But if you make
it, you’ll have qualified for an elite engineering training
program. With unequaled hands-on responsibility, a $24,000
salary in four years, and gilt-edged qualifications for jobs
in private industry should you decide to leave the Navy
later. (But we don’t think you’ll want to.)
Ask your placement officer to set up an interview with a
Navy representative when he visits the campus on Nov. 14-16,
or contact your Navy representative at 713-224-5897 (collect).
If you prefer, send your resume to the Navy Nuclear Officer
Program, Code 312-B537, 4015 Wilson Blvd., ALrlington,
Va. 22203, and a Navy representative will contact you directly.

you finish college: it can lead to an exciting career opportunity.
