The sources said Vance will leave |Washington Friday, deliver a major Ifemgn poYxcy speech in London ■ Saturday, and then fly to Egypt and Israel. An official announcement on the trip was to be made later Tuesday, the sources said. J , Th e trip is an attempt to break the [ deadlock on two major issues that have stalled the talks for over three weeks. The Israelis and the Egyptians disagree over the question of linking their peace treaty to the wider ques tion of a comprehensive Middle East settlement. The two sides are also in sharp disagreement on how tYie treaty will affect Egypt’s treaty obligations to her Arab allies. An American formula for com promise on these two issues, dip lomatic sources said, will consist of separate letters from both sides that will be part of the treaty package. rs Ciwiyf/ C Cidl> 4103 S.

Another refugee boat capsized off the coast of Thai land, killing 48 passengers, au thorities said Tuesday. In Malaysia, where 47,300 Vietnamese have already sought refuge, villagers stoned the latest arrivals. The saga of the “boat people” — the largest exodus of refugees since the end of the Vietnam war three years ago — spilled over into three Asian nations Tuesday. Malaysian authorities relaxed their tough stand against refugee landings and permitted 600 to land in five boats Monday. But a U.N. refugee officer said occupants of at least two boats al lowed to land were stoned by vil lagers in Kuala Trengganu. None of the refugees was seriously hurt but a policeman guarding them was knocked unconscious. Malaysian police and troops had been chasing the boats away until three sank in the last two weeks, drowning at least 165 refugees with 185 listed as missing. Malaysia began turning the boats back to sea after the freighter Hai Hong arrived in September with 2,500 Vietnamese. A U.S. pledge to accept all the Hai Hong refugees not taken by France, Canada, or West Germany resulted in the easing of Malaysia’s rigid stand. There are 47,300 refugees in Malaysia. Thai authorities said Tuesday a boat carrying Vietnamese refugees capsized off Thailand Sunday, kill ing 48. Thai authorities took the 278 known survivors to a refugee camp near the Malaysian-Thai border, al ready housing nearly 2,000 “boat people.” SELL YOUR BOOKS at UNIVERSITY BOOKSTORE NORTHGATE CULPEPPER PLAZA * * * * * * * * * * Ac Ac Ac At Ac THE FLYING AGGIES PRESENT A FLYING FILM FESTIVAL WEDNESDAY, DEC. 6 7:30 P.M.
