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.

Jackson hits U.S. for not aiding Palestinians
RAMALLAH, Israeli-Occupied West Bank — The Rev. 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. ”

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.

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.

PALERMO, Sicily — Two gun
men shot and killed one of Italy’s
most prominent anti-Mafia judges
and his police bodyguard Tuesday,
officers said.
Cesare Terranova, 58, was killed
by a burst of gunfire as he and his
bodyguard, Lenin Mancuso, got
into their car to go to work, police
said. Mancuso, 56, died after being
rushed to a nearby hospital.
Terranova, a Communist member
of Parliament, was on the Chamber
of Deputies’ anti-Mafia commission
and considered one of Italy’s
foremost experts in fighting or-
