2 MIDEAST Carter of NY News leads: "Meir and Sadat both thanked HAK and, thru him, RN for helping them reach an agreement they both wanted but couldn't reach on their own. [Meir] was more openly emotional, but [Sadat] was also effusive. 11 Asserting it's now up to Arabs-Israelis to "capitalize on the diplomatic victories both have achieved, 11 Inquirer also suggests "no one will cavil at extending congratulations to RN himself" re: his role. "For if RN must take the responsibility when things go wrong in his Admin, he's surely entitled to praise when things go right. 11 Knight's McCartney suggests M-E agreement is "perhaps the most hopeful sign to date that sanity, rather than blind hatred, may yet prevail in that tinderbox of the world. 11 He asserts "Israelis made the key concessions, 11 and Egyptian army presence on east bank of Suez is a "victory psychologically impt to the Arab world. 11 But "there's much left to be done, 11 and tho "the astonishing HAK seems to have gotten something started there's still a long way to go before peace can be assured. 11 Trib hopes "optimistic estimates" of the agreement prevail and notes "any disposition of this confrontation is better than none. " But, it warns, "cessation of hostilities is no more stable than that achieved in Korea or VN, where an end to active fighting has been tentative at best. We can only hope for the best. 11 Fried of NY News reports 1 Israeli soldier "said he hoped the agreement would mean his 5-year-old son would never have to fight the Egyptians. A buddy advised him not to count on that. A 3rd Israeli soldier said, 'if there's a next time, it'll probably lead to WWIII. 111 Sun notes "agreement doesn't fulfill any unrealistic US hopes of a political settlement this winter. 11 And given 25 years of "unremitting hostility, it wouldn't be unreasonable for belligerents to use the entire period to test each other's good intentions. 11 Pointing out a "long, hard road of negotiations lies ahead, " NY News hopes since Israel- Egypt have found they "can settle differences thru negotiations, 11 their "future discussions will fulfill the present promise. 11 Sun notes Assad will have to decide whether Syria joins Egypt in a "zone of disengagement" or joins a "catch-bag 'Arab rejection front. 111 While "past postures would favor rejection, 11 logic of its joining Egypt in Oct war "would dictate disengagement. 11
