The Egyptian president rose quickly to support the idea. Nine hours earlier, they had signed a treaty ending 30 years of hostlity bet- ween their two nations, a treaty nur- tured by President Carter. Responding to the suggestion, Carter, at least partially serious, declared; ' \If the next nine months of negotiations (on implementing the treaty) are completely harmonious, ... then I might consider'accepting their nomination. But otherwise, they've made (heir toasts in vain.\ All members of the Senate and the House were invited to question Begin and Sadat at separate sessions in Capitol Hill office buildings today. Congress will be asked to authorize' the $4-8 billion package of grants and loans Carter is proposing for Israel and Egypt, ih furtherance of the treaty. Immediately after the treaty signing, which Carter hailed with the cry, \Peace has cOmb\ t he conferred with more than a score of Democratic and Republican congressional leaders on the aid proposals. Throughout a day of. celebration, however, Carter md not minimize the hurdles facing full implementation of the accord. ' , As if to underscore Carter's statement that \differences still separate the signatories,\ both Begin and Sadat touched on their, conflicting viewpoints in public utterances. „ At the signing, Begin recalled his joy at the seizure of East Jerusalem by Israeli paratroopers in 1967 — a seizure Egypt and the Arab world still challenge. And-Sadat, in his toast at the dinner, spoke of Palestinians soon being able to \take the first step on the road of self- determination and statehood.\ Begin and his government firmly oppose a Palestinian state. ; Carter, in his toast, seemed intent on urging that all parties, perhaps in- cluding the .Palestine Liberation Organization, join thoiearch for a com- prehensive Mideast settlement. He de'clared: \ •„.' \I welcome and invitethose who have so far held back — for whatever motive they might honor -^ to join us. The way is long and the way is hard {-*• but peace is the way.\ Shunning topcoats in chilly if sunny weather, Carter, Begin and Sadat r- parthers in 15 months of negotiations -- quoted from the Bible and the Koran in solemnizing the treaty. \Let there be no more bloodsheds between Arabs and Israelis,\ Sadat' declared, '•__''.' \No more war,\ agreed Begin, \No more bloodshed. Peace Unto you. Shalom, salaam, forever,\ • The Hebrew \shalom\ and the Arabic \salaam\ mean ''peace,\ The sound of celebratory bells at St. John's Church, a block away from, the ceremony on the front lawn of the White House, mingled with the chants of 2,000 protesters shouting \Long live Palestine!\ Carter's mediation efforts, climaxed 13 days earlier at meetings wifli iBegiib, and Sadat\ in Jerusaleni and Cairo, continued almost until the moment of the ceremony,' ''\' ,'} .o;:'v'-'\\ Ms guests at a presigjung luncheon, Carter appended a note to the official record of the agreement: \I have been informed that the expression 'West Bank' is understood by the government of Israel to mean' Judea and Samaria.'\\ In addition, he promised Sadat and Begin he would take steps to ensure deployment of a \multinational force\ in the Sinai Peninsula if the U.N. Se- curity Council fails to station a force there? PUMPKIN stretches and blinks at the photographer who disturbed his catnap in the window of the Charley Green Market in Saranac Lake, (Odato Photo) GENEVA, Switzerland (AP) — The Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries voted today to raise the base price of crude oil by 9 percent as of next Sunday, to $14.54 a barrel. That would increase American pump prices for gasoline by about two cents a gallon. Libya and Venezuela im- mediately announced sur- charges on the new price. The new base price; ap- parently was a victory for the socalled Arab moderates such as Saudi Arabia and Abu Dhabi over more militant members such as Algeria, Iran, Libya and Iraq. The militants apparently settled for the smaller hv_ crease in the base price in exchange for the surcharges, analysts said. The new base price is the price, the oil cartel originally had set for next October in its quarterly increase schedua$ An OPEC announcement said the oil ministers authorized unlimited Sur- charges over the base price, depending on market PEF wins ~ ALBANYrtW. (AB^TnV state's highest court ruled to- day that ah fledgling union won the right to represent 45,000 white collar state employees away from the giant Civil Service Employees Association. In a unanimous decision, the Court of Appeals upheld last fall's election victory of the Public Employees Federation to represent the Professional, Scientific And Technical Unit Of state 'Workers. The Public Employment Relations Board had declared PEF won the balloting among workers in that unit, but the CSEA claimed there were cards authorizing, the elec- tion. *.':'*. The appellate, division of state Supreme Court ruled PERB had not sufficiently checked for /forgeries. However, ih its Opinion, the Court of Appeals said, \The method ^selected by the director of IPgRB was reasonably designed to detect the only type of forgery which was alleged to have occurred in this ease.\ Athough the PEP was formed by two AFL-CIO unions, the picture became complicated after the victory, when ' the longtime in- dependdent CSEA finally affiliated with the AFLCIO. demand. Earlier, Qatar oil minister Abdul Aziz Khalifa alThani incorrectly said a $4- perbarrel limit had been put on surcharges., Today's base-price increase is roughly equal to sur- charges announced earlier by many OPEC members and supersedes those surcharges. However Libya announced.it would raise prices $1.66 a •barrel over the new base price. Venezuela announced a $1.20 increase. Iran, Which had lobbied for a whopping 29 percent in- crease in the base price, said it had no current plans for a surcharge. OPEC says surcharges are it's response to what it calls profiteering by ^companies «ho- taW*adystntage Of the current shortage by charging high priee&on the short-term, or \spot\ market. Prices there have reached $20 a barrel recently. , The price increases were voted ope day after Egypt and Israel signed a_ peace treaty but there was no im- mediate indication that the signing, which infuriated most Arab nations, was related to the increase, The current price for Arabian light crude oil, the so-called benchmark of the industry, is $13.35 for a 42- gallon barrel. A 5 percent increase in OPEC prices usually increases the American price of gasoline about a penny a gallon. - Analysts here estimated the new base price will add about $13.5 billion to OPEC coffers this year from in- dustrialized Western nations.

SARANAC LAKE - A proposal urging the village board to reject shopping center plans and suggesting that consultants and the community development officer be fired was read at thd village board meeting last night by Philip Gallos.

Leading Village On *'Mr. McGrath and Mr. Neese are leading us into the s a'm e b i g g e r - n e w e r developments which have wounded most of our great cities,\ Gallos said. \We in Saranac Laker are lucky. We are so far behind the times that we have been spared that Ugly and sometimes fatal: phase of commercial evolution,\ he said. He said Neese and McGrath had used tactics during public hearings to induce the public into believing the shopping center would 'be the best project for the investment of federal dollars. He said\ they had been remiss in failing to show, alternatives and had plans, details and sufficient answers concerning only the shopping Center project; r~> .i The village is planning to apply for a $L7 million Department of Housing and Urban Development grant. Some $1,140,000 would be spent to acquire 5.5 acres around Depot Street that would be. sold to ft developer from Montreal, About ^aojdoo wouidhe spent on the acquisition and development of three off-street, downtown parking areas. . Foreign Business \They want to bring a foreign business tq become the biggest landlords in town, They (the Montreal, developers) won't care one iota about Saranac Lake,, They just want profit,\ Gallos said. -> Deputy - Mayor John Pickerign, filling in for Mayor Charles ft. Keough who did not attend last night's meeting, called a public discussion on tne grant projects for the April 9 meeting, Pickreign indicated that a year ago 1,250 people'slgned a petition saying they wanted an 8-10 store shopping center of about 35,000 square feet, Nancy Pandolfo, a member of a citizen's committee which circulated the petition a year ago, laid recently she opposes the present 'plan, an expansion of the original proposal; '. \ Neese contends there will hot be more than 12 stores in the center, with other spaces ,taken up by tenants such as dentists , and . other professionals. The latest proposal for Depot Street, made by an architect working, for Immogaz Leaseholds, Inc. of Montreal, shows a development with, 63,200 square feet of leasing space for as many as 22 tenants. A food store and a drug store are proposed as the key stores. Referendum Recommended \Maybe thereare the same number who are against,\ Pickreign said, /'-Every meeting we have a different group that wants to go another way. I think the question should go to public referendum,\ he said, Gallos said McGrath.'who has assisted several village projects and Town of Harrietstown projects, should be repWcbd by a^eohsuitant who specializes in projects which stimulate the economies of small com- munities while preserving the physical integrity and spiritual identity of the community.\ , He said McGrath and Neese deserve, credit for other projects aceompUshed and said anyone wife a/UOnnal intelligence could have done as well or better, Both Henry Pamiss and Gallos indicated a market, study on the project, which had been done without charge, is inadequate. \The only similarity bet ween the project and the study is'the Site,\ Pama$s H \said Tfceystudy, doae hy Hie Technical Assistance Center at Plattsburgh.

The big question was how far Saudi Arabia, Egypt's chief financial backer, would agree to go. Iraq's ruling Baathist Party organized a big rally to kick off the Arab League' session,. Official Iraqi newspapers called i for \concrete measures against Sadat on political, economic, informational and mass mobilization levels.\ The meeting Of Arab foreign and economic , ministers was called to discuss application of 'resolutions adopted at an antiSadat summit conference in Baghdad last November. They call few —A boycott of any Egyp- tian party dr person that deals with Israel. —Suspension of Egypt's membership in the 22- member Arab League and transfer of tthe league's headquarter from Cairo to another Arab capital. —Creation of an annual $3 billion fund to help We Pales* tine Liberation Organization arid the \confrontation states\ around Israel- .— Jordan, Syria ahd;iraf^lif build up their military forces to fight (ha «%eaehmis peace/\ ,,- The key Issue was whether Saudi Arabia would reduce' or cutoff financial aid to Egypt of nearly H billion a year. SARANAC LAKE — All.four village trustees expressed , support last night for the federal prison project at Ray Brook and proposed .to make a resolution of endorsement Trustee Ralph \Pat\ Howardasked the board last night to take a vote on the project soon.
