They said Sadat would announce that Egypt does not plan to renew hostilities until diplomatic efforts to achieve peace are exhausted, but would not reject the idea that military action may be the only way to reach a solution.

The sources said this limited acceptance of a de facto truce would allow time for further international efforts to uns get Israel to change it policies, but would leave Egypt the option to fight if the quest for peace failed. Voices fears Egypt has frequently voiced fears that a continued cease-fire without accompanying peace progress would strengthen Israel's occupation of Arab lands cap tured in the 1967 war. The return of these lands forms the basis of Egypt's negotiating position. The Israeli cabinet will meet in a regular session Sunday to discuss Thant's message and other aspects of that of Chairman Wilbur D. Mills, of the House Ways and Means Committee.

Se' cretary General Thant's call for "military restraint." Israel made clear it accepted Thant's call for an extended cease-fire. But it denounced a report by Thant on the Middle East situation because it urged Israel to withdraw from all occupied territory. "The secretary general has clearly violated in his report last night the ground rules of quiet diplomacy," said a commentator for Israel's government-run radio.

Report clashes The commentary followed announcement by military spokesmen that Israeli troops fought two overnight clashes with Arab guerrillas, one in the occupied Golan Heights of Syria and the other along the Jordan River. They said three guerrillas were killed, and there were no Israeli losses.

Usery Jr. said in an interveiw after talks between the UTU and the nation's rail carriers recessed. that does not eliminate the possibility of selective strikes," Usery said, adding that it would be up to carriers to halt walkouts by seeking temporary restraining orders in court. "We would not view selective strikes as a national emergency, at least initially," Usery said, but added he hopes such action can be averted.

Chief UTU negotiator Clyde Lane said any decision on labor action would have to come from the Cleveland office of union president Charles Luna. rrp No appefife Sepone in Laos SAIGON (UPI)-South Vietnamese troops supported by U.S. bombers swept into the Ho Chi Minh Trail center of Se: pone Saturday to achieve the big objective of their Laos offensive.

air raids. Commanders counted 283 Communist bodies, most killed by air and artillery attack, and took 13 North Vietnamese prisoners. South Vietnamese losses in the capture of Sepone were described as light and there was no sign of the tank force and antiaircraft missiles which North Vietnamese commanders were reported to have massed in the defense of the town where a huge cache of Communist food, weapons and ammunition was found, Luster dimmer Some of the luster of South Vietnam's victory at Sepone was dimmed by reports that two Americans had been killed in a Communist artillery attack on the U.S. support base for the Laos offensive at Khe Sanh, that four more American helicopters had been shot down in Laos and that the U.S. support base at Quang Tri 40 miles from the Laos frontier was shelled.
