Page 12 THE BATTALION WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 26, 1979 Israel returns more land to Egypt during short military ceremony United Press International TEL AVIV — Israel returned another 2,500 square miles of the Sinai desert to Egypt Tuesday under terms of their peace treaty, handing over the chunk of waste land in a brief military ceremony. Brig. Gen. Dov Sion gave over the area to Egyptian Brig. Gen. Saf- ery Abu Shnab in the third Israeli withdrawal from Sinai since May 25. The handover ceremony was con- ductd on the Atur-Abu Rodeis road. The area, in south-central Sinai, represents about 10 percent of the peninsula and includes the strategi cally important Firan Pass. About 3,000 Bedouin tribesmen live in the region. The territory, adjacent to a slice of Sinai returned July 25, includes a school for 120 children, a commer cial center and an experimental farm built by the Israelis. The next area to be given up will be the Mount Sinai region in November, three months before the scheduled date. Prime Minister Menachem Begin agreed to make the gesture to Egyptian President Anwar Sadat in their meeting in Haifa earlier this month.

Jesse Jackson toured a rundown Palestinian refugee camp Tuesday and accused the United States of injustice in giving more aid to Israel than to the refugees. “I understand this camp,” the American civil rights leader said as he walked through the Kalandia camp. “The stench, the open sewers — this is nothing new to me. This is a reminder.” Kalandia, with a population of 4,000 and 1,800 children in two schools on double shifts, is one of 20 such camps in the West Bank and Gaza Strio. “America is a party to an arrangement that gives $2 billion to 3 million people and gives $50 million to 2 million and by no arrange ment of arithmetic is that balanced or is it justice,” he said. Kurds attack Iranian radio station TEHRAN, Iran — Kurdish rebels attacked the radio station in Qasr el-Shirin near the border with Iraq and battled revolutionary guards for more than two hours, Kermanshah radio reported today. The attack came as Iranian army units were reported placed on alert at six points along the Iranian borders with Iraq and Turkey. Kurdish rebels, although driven by government forces from tbeir stronghold cities in western Iran during August, have burst into activ ity again in the past few days. Some 30 rebels, firing rocket grenades and Russian-made automa tic weapons, clashed for over two hours with Islamic revolutionary guardsmen Monday night around the station, the radio said. There were some wounded on the rebel side but the guards reported no casualties. Stringent security set for papal visit DUBLIN, Ireland — Irish policemen may be the only people to catch a close-up view of Pope John Paul II during his visit to Ireland at the end of this week. Rendered especially nervous by last month’s murder of Queen Elizabeth II’s cousin, Earl Mountbatten, and three other people, Irish police have devised unprecedented security measures at an estimated cost of some $3 million for the 50-hour papal visit begin ning Saturday. Both journalists and the Catholic Church hierarchy have protested the stringent security measures, the tightest in living memory, but police insist they are necessary. As one Dubliner summed it up, “The people will be lucky if they catch a glimpse of the pope’s helicopter, not to mind John Paul him self. ” Gruesome allegations face dethroned dictate COURTS UNIVERSITY SHOE SERVICE “Expert boot and shoe repair” 104 College Main Northgate 846-6785 (formerly Holiks) Gig 'em music box, as shown, plays "The Aggie War Hymn" @ $24.95 ea Gig 'em on solid wal nut base with name plate @ $9.95 ea.

College Bryan, Texas 822-1559 .leffonsnn sianoarn United Press International Dethroned Central African Em peror Jean-Bedel Bokassa has at last found a country willing to admit him, but together with exile in the Ivory Coast come gruesome allega tions of cannabalism at elaborately staged dinner parties. Another dictator, Francisco Macias, who was captured before he could make it to exile, is fighting for his life in a genocide trial in his former capital of Malabo in Equato rial Guinea. He has pleaded inno cent and has asked for clemency. Bokassa was accepted into the former French colony Tuesday, by President Felix Houphouet-Boigny as “an act of charity.” Unconfirmed reports from Bokas- sa’s former homeland said the man who once spent $25 million to be declared the “emperor” of Central Africa, may have eaten human flesh at dinner parties. The reports, which surfaced in the French news media, said several mutilated bodies were found in a freezer at one of Bokassa’s palaces in Central Africa. According to the re ports by some French journalists, many people in Central Africa said they knew Bokassa ate human flesh, but were afraid to say anything for fear they would be killed. Bokassa’s private plane — a gift from France in happier times — had remained at a military airport west of Paris for three days, while French authorities tried to find a nation that would accept him after he was ousted in a bloodless coup. “It is not for us to judge the acts of our unfortunate guest,’’ By Battali Houphouet-Boigny said after Bokas sa’s arrival. “God will take care of that.” The Ivory Coast leader indicated Bokassa would be safe from extradi tion to Central Africa, where his cousin, predecessor and successor, President David Dacko, apparently imposed a death sentence lifted it.

' ayer of the Doug Carr w Seek asylum in Switzerland 2 Soviet ice skaters defe< United Press International BERN, Switzerland — Two Soviet ice-skating stars, the fourth and fifth Russian artists to defect to the West in recent weeks, were in hiding and under police protection Tuesday. Swiss officials announced Monday Oleg Protopopov and Ludmila Be- jlousova, winners of two Olympic gold medals, asked Switzerland for political asylum. Protopopov, 47, and Belousova, 43, who first skated together in 1951 and married seven years later, will have to stay under cover “for several weeks” before a decision is made by the Swiss government, officials said. They disappeared Sept. 17, after performing with their own ice revue in the town of Zug, near Zurich. “They seemed very happy that evening, laughing and joking as al ways, before leaving our house,” said Kurt Soenning, a former Swiss skating champion and the couple’s host in Switzerland. The couple asked for Swiss asylum within a few weeks of similar requests in the United States by three ballet stars. On Aug. 22, Bolshoi Ballet dancer Alexander Godunov defected in New York. The ice skating stars were world champions from 1965 to 1968 and were Olympic pairs champions in 1964 and 1968. It appeared the defectionlil skating stars was well planne that the couple was receivin; from both Swiss and foreign dents.
