Vance to try to break
deadlock in Mideast
United Press International
I WASHINGTON — Secretary of
J State Cyrus Vance will fly to the
Middle East next week in an at
tempt to break the deadlock in the
jEgyptian-Israeli negotiations, dip-
|lomatic sources said Tuesday.
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.

‘Boat people’
saga continues
United Press International
Eighty-six of 120 Vietnamese ref
ugees fleeing by boat to Taiwan died
of thirst and hunger, ignored by
passing vessels. 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.”
