Secretary of State Cyrus R. Vance, staking out the middle ground, said the common goal of Egypt, Israel and the United States "and those absent today" Jordan, Syria, and the Soviet Union is a just, lasting and comprehensive settlement.

The strongly worded statement by Egyptian Foreign Minister Mohammed Kamel contrasted with the Israeli call for compromise, highlighting sharp differences between them, the legacy of the 30-year dispute.

i Angry judge clips Evel's wings good-will gesture, had arranged for his he was trying to straighten out personal MIAMI (AP) Members of a conservative coalition launched a national campaign against the Panama Canal treaty Tuesday, urging voters here to put pressure on Florida's two senators to vote against the pact when it comes up for ratification. About 200 persons gathered near the Miami airport to hear the Committee to Save the Panama Canal. In reply to questions, Sen. Paul Laxalt, urged listeners to put pressure on Florida Sens. Lawton Chiles and Richard Stone, both Democrats who are uncommitted on the treaty, in hopes of getting the 34 votes needed to block ratification.

The treaty would gradually turn over control of the Canal Zone and its waterway to Panama by the year 2000. Laxalt and about a dozen other senators, congressmen and ex-military leaders flew here from Washington on the first leg of a campaign to counter Carter administration support for the treaty. The committee continued on to St. Louis, eliminating scheduled stops in Covington, and Cincinnati because of snow conditions there. Other stops scheduled so far are Denver and Portland, Ore.

The committee, which has proclaimed itself the "truth squad," is being financed through $100,000 in contributions from eight organizations.

Knievel showed no reaction as the judge stared at him across the courtroom and excoriated him for his Sept.

21 attack on his former manager, Sheldon Saltman. The judge said Knievel, who pleaded guilty, had sought to portray this attack "as the act of a heroic avenger." "The act that resulted in your being placed in County Jail was an act of extreme cowardice," the judge told Knievel, "as much as you may persist in the delusion it was an act of rightful retribution." Laxalt Sen. Paul SANTA MONICA, Calif. (AP) Berating Evel Knievel as a man guilty of "extreme cowardice," an angry judge ordered the stunt man Tuesday to spend his entire six-month jail sentence behind bars with no chance of early parole. "This condition that has brought you here is about as low as you'll ever fall," Superior Court Judge Edward Rafeedie told Knievel.

The district attorney's office had asked that Knievel's probation be revoked because he was five hours late in returning to jail from a work-release furlough Jan. 7. Knievel, who was sentenced to six months in jail and three years probation Nov. 14 for attacking his former manager with a baseball bat, had sought immediate parole. Knievel had said he was late because problems resulting trom wnai ne sam was a television commmentator's inaccurate report that he was seeing a woman other than his wife during his furloughs.

The judge, declaring he was tired of reading about "show business stunts" Knievel performed while a prisoner, said the daredevil had done "irreparable harm" to a system that allows prisoners to work at jobs by day and to return to jail at night. "Some of the show-business stunts and PR pipe dreams like lining up limousines in front of the jail serve to inflame the public and to discredit a program in which thousands of men have served with dignity," Rafeedie complained. Knievel, in what he said was a holiday Senate hinges on possible amendments. "That is the unanswered question, but as far as we're concerned, there is no amendment that would be acceptable, short of one that keeps U.S. jurisdiction over the canal," Laxalt said.

Both Majority Leader Robert C. Byrd, and Minority Leader Howard Baker, say numerous other amendments also are sure to be offered. tttttttttttttf" illIHMMWW Saudis would 'buy' state for Palestinians It quoted Fahd as saying he was glad of Saudi-American relations" has de-' veloped. The publication said the Saudis insist on total Israeli withdrawal from all occupied Arab lands, including the Arab sector of Jerusalem. It also said the Saudis feel Palestinian nationhood should be gained in stages "but not in a generation." The Saudi leaders used "harsh words" to describe Egyptian President Anwar Sadat during a meeting with John West, America's ambassador to Saudi Arabia, the report said.

Israel conquered both regions in the 1967 Arab-Israeli war. The publication attributed its report to reliable travellers it said arrived from Saudi Arabia on Monday. It did not name them. The report also said American and Saudi positions contrast so sharply on the current approach to a Mideast settlement that the "worst crisis in the history Sadat "did not consult us Deiore ins journey to Jerusalem last Novemeber.

It quoted Khaled and Fahd as telling Carter: "You try to solve the Palestinian problem and we are ready to give you all the oil you want." The publication, a usually well-informed daily digest of Arab affairs, said the Saudis offered to raise their oil production to "any possibly feasible level" to establish a Palestinian state.
