Israel and Egypt clashed Tuesday over the future of
Jerusalem and the Palestinians in their first public
disagreement since President Carter's visit to iron out
final obstacles to a peace treaty.
But Egyptian Prime Minister Mustafa Khalil said he

Prime Minister Menachem Begin told Parliament in
Jerusalem that Israel would never allow a Palestinian
state in the occupied West Bank of the Jordan River or
the Gaza Strip or return East Jerusalem to the Arabs.
"It will not happen," Begin told the Knesset, opening
debate on the treaty. "We won't agree to it, we won't
allow it, we won't make it possible."
Begin said he was replying to a statement by Khalil
that Israel would have to withdraw to the borders that
existed before the 1967 Arab-Israeli war, surrender
Arab Jerusalem and accept Palestinian statehood.
"My dear, honorable Dr. Khalil," said Begin, "write
this down: Jerusalem, the one Jerusalem, is Israel's
eternal capital, n win never oe divided again."
In Cairo, Khalil said Begin's statement "spoils the
atmosphere" of the treaty and said it was 4'an unsuccessful
beginning to a period in which we had hoped
that all parties would work...for a just and lasting
peace and a comprehensive settlement in the Middle
East."

announced today the appointment of Paul J. Curran, a
New York lawyer, as a special counsel to investigate
bank loans made to President Carter's family peanut
business by the National Bank of Georgia.

Carter family loan transactions "did not resolve all
factual and legal issues."
"Therefore, the department has carefully considered
available courses of action to pursue the
inquiry," he said. "It is in the best interest of the administration
of justice and the public's perception of
the fairness and impartiality of justice that an independent
special counsel be appointed."
Policy has its price
WASHINGTON ? day-long meeting with his top
advisers at Camp David left President Carter convinced
that any decision he makes to cope with energy
shortages will exact a political price, his spokesman
says.
Although the meeting Monday produced no apparent
or sudden policy shifts, the president was reported to
have promised a response to the latest energy
developments within about 10 days and his spokesman
said it was correct to assume action would be taken,
j Asked upon his return to the White House late
Monday whether any decisions were reached, Carter
said with a grin: "We'll let you know later."

Trial change denied
A circuit judge has refused to change the location of
the trial of two Richland County men charged with
killing the manager of a Columbia loan company.
Circuit Judge Paul Moore refused Monday to grant a
defense request that the trial be moved because of a
climate of "fear and hostility" in Richland County.
Moye and Hall are accused of the Jan. 16 shooting
death of TranSouth Financial Corp. manager Larry M.
Whitmire, 30. They are also charged with armed
robbery.
Injunction criticized
State Agriculture Commissioner G. Bryan Patrick
Jr. said today a temporary injunction against an increase
in the minimum wholesale price of milk will
hurt consumers and processors in the long run.
Patrick said he wasn't surprised by the injunction,
issued Monday by Circuit Judge Paul M. Moore, that
blocked enforcement of a state Dairy Commission
pricing order.
"We may have lower prices of milk temporarily,"
Patrick said, "but it has been proven that in the long
run we will have higher prices" because of an unstable
market.

was arrested Monday afternoon at a roadblock. He was
