Israeli leaders. Sadat said, have tried to wasle time in the negotiations by "slyly sowing doubts about my initiative" and hoping that world support for his peace effort would abate.

Assistant Secretary of State Alfred Atherton met Saturday night with Begin and Israeli Foreign Minister Moshe Dayan to report on Vance's unsuccessful attempt to quickly revive the stalemated peace talks.

CAIRO, Egypt (API President Anwar Sadat accused Israeli leaders Saturday of sabotaging peace negotiations and declared. "They are in the defendants' box before the court of world history." In a speech clearly aimed at arousing Israeli and U.S. public opinion against the administration of Prime Minister Menahem Begin. Sadat told the Egyptian parliament there is "hopelessness in our breasts" and that Israeli Intransigence resulted from U.S. arms sales to the Jewish state.

He also revealed he has asked President Carter for equality in military assistance. "I'm telling the U.S. people here is the result of the limitless arsenal that you gave, which makes a person like Begin say he does not need the recognition of Egypt," Sadat declared. The speech drew frequent applause from the lawmakers and officials not to put an embargo on us." Sadat said in the emotional, sometimes angry. The Egyptian leader said the American arms would be used "not to attack Israel'' but to strengthen Egypt defenses in the face of its other responsibilities in Africa.

The Egyptian president used the words "I warn" three times in urging Israeli leaders to change their position, especially concerning Israel's 20 Jewish settlements on the Sinai. Sadat said it "was a surprise" when Begin chose to make this a central issue. "They turned this side issue into a major issue domestically before the Israeli people," Sadat charged. Recalling the successful start of his peace drive, Sadat said he went to the Israeli capital "with an open mind and Marston New York A New York City taxi till stranded la a snowdrift Saturday on a snow-covered hill in Manhattan.

But it was something of an anti-climax because Sadat offered no new proposals for resuming the negotiations, broken off last Wednesday when he recalled his' foreign minister from Jerusalem. Sadat said Israeli leaders had deliberately undermined his peace initiative, begun in November when he visited Jerusalem. The only way to achieve peace, said, was for Israeli leaders to abandon "their expansionist aims" and stop negotiating with deceit. "I say the door to peace is still open," Sadat said, "but on one condition no treading on sovereignty or on land, here or there." "The world points a finger of tion at those in the defendants' box who are trying to kill the initiative of peace," he said.

"I hope the Israelis understand that in seeking to impose peace by armed force, they have chosen a battle doomed to failure." The Egyptian leader revealed that in preliminary talks with Israeli Defense Minister Ezer Weizman in December he had threatened war if Israel insisted on keeping 20 Jewish settlements in the Sinai Peninsula after it was returned to Egypt. "If you are serious about this," Sadat said he told Weizman, "please tell Begin that I will not allow a single settlement or give up a square inch of my land even if this requires that I fight you to the ends of the earth." During a meeting Friday with Secretary of State Cyrus R. Vance, Sadat said, he asked the United States to sell Egypt the same kinds and quantity of weapons that Israel is allowed to buy.

"It is going to be difficult to stem the national disgust."

"Bell has rewarded U.S. Attorney Marston's attack on corruption and abuse of power by firing him." National Republican Party Chairman Bill Brock called for a congressional investigation of the Marston firing.

In a telegram to leaders of both parties, Brock said, "It is clear that the administration has neither the courage nor the moral commitment to tell the truth to the American people." In a prepared statement Friday, Bell said criminal prosecution will not suffer as a result of the Marston dismissal. But he conceded that one of three Justice Department lawyers he sent to Philadelphia told him there would be a temporary loss of momentum in the investigation. Benjamin Civiletti, head of the Justice Department's criminal division, was scheduled to visit Philadelphia on Monday to state Bell's commitment to the investigation and urge chief assistants in Marston's office to remain in their jobs.

"We thought this storm would move nearer to the coast," he said. "Actually it moved about 20 miles east, in the ocean. That cut off the warm air and kept the precipitation snow. "It was a matter of 15 or 20 miles difference and that's considered a very fine line," he said. It was a bad week for the weather service: They forecast a major storm for the city on Tuesday.

Two inches, then rain fell instead. "Tuesday was also considered very close. We favored more snow and it just happened to backfire on us," the forecaster said. "If the storm had been 20 miles further east, we could have had two storms like Friday's, back to back." Saturday, the National Weather Service was saying snow and snow flurries could be expected to move northeastward from the Southwest reaching the New England coast early in the week, with a possibility of up to one or two inches of new snow. National Guard units were called out By The Associated Press Children played, parents shoveled and the Northeastern quarter of the nation took the weekend off to dig out from under the worst blizzard in nine years a that was not supposed to happen, according to the weathermen.

At least 25 persons died, many from heart attacks while shoveling snow. The snow, driven by winds of up to 50 mph, was dumped on the Northeast only hours after forecasters had said only a few inches would fall to be washed away by a following rain. Massachuetts recorded 21 inches during the blizzard. Rhode Island and Connecticut up to 17, New York and New Jersey had 12 to 14 inches, Pennsylvania, Maryland and West Virginiga had eight to 13 inches. Ohio, Illinois, Kentucky and Tennessee also were hit by up to eight inches of snow from the storm.

In New York City, which was stunned by an unexpected blanket of more than 13 inches of snow, weathermen sheepishly admitted they had been wrong. "We did a rotten job this time," said Michael Fayne, a supervisor at the PHILADELPHIA (AP) A Justice Department official planned (o come here Monday, the day U.S. Attorney David Marston leaves his post, to pledge the Carter administration's commitment to an investigation Marston began and to urge Marston's top assistants to stay on. State and national Republican leaders charged the administration with playing politics in the Justice Department by dismissing Marston, who won political corruption convictions against two powerful Democrats in the Legislature during his 18-month tenure. Marston, a 35-year-old Republican, also started an investigation of two Democratic congressmen from Pennsylvania in connection with a $65 million addition to Hahnemann Hospital here and what role, if any, they played in securing federal financing for the project.

An aide to Rep. Joshua Eilberg confirmed that Eilberg is one of the congressmen, and Justice Department sources say the other is Rep. Daniel J. Flood. Eugene Zack, Eilberg's administrative assistant, said Eilberg denies any wrongdoing.

President Carter has confirmed that he asked U.S. Attorney General Griffin Bell to speed up Marston's dismissal after he received a call from Eilberg. Carter spokesmen said the president did not know Eilberg was under investigation at the time. Bell, who has replaced most of the nation's 94 U.S.' attorneys with Democrats since he took office, said he decided last February to dismiss Marston and indicated the decision was based on political considerations. Later he said Marston lacked trial experience.

Marston said after a two-hour meeting with Bell on Friday that he would leave office Monday despite Bell's request that he stay on for three months, until a successor is found. "I don't want to be a lame duck," Marston said. "I've been crippled by the events of the last few weeks."

The weight of the snow caved in roofs of more than a dozen structures including the dome over the auditorium of C.W. Post College in New York.

In Maryland near the nation's capital, the tent erected for the Washington Boat Show collapsed under the weight of the snow. In Franklin, 80 families were forced to evacuate their apartments after part of the building's roof fell in. The storm closed airports, and resulted in the diversion of many flights including one carrying 330 persons from Cairo, Athens and Rome to New York. It ended up in Kansas City. For others, however, the storm had benefits.

Robert Washington, a waiter at the Sheraton Hotel in Nashville, said the snow storm brought more people to the hotel and fewer leaving it. "A tremendous amount of room service calls come in on mornings like this," Washington said Saturday. "The people are either snowed in or don't want to gwt out of bed because it's cold." "More people mean more tips," he added. And there were those who felt their local governments were not doing enough to clear away the snow and get things back to normal. A.

The disclosure came as representatives of West Germany, the United States, Britain, France and Italy met in Washington to discuss the growing Soviet-Cuban involvement in Ethiopia. Spokesmen said the meeting of the five Western allies also was called to search for possible ways to bring peace to the troubled Horn of Africa region, where Ethiopia is fighting Somali-backed secessionist rebels in the east and Eritrean secessionists in the north.

The United States has rejected Somali appeals for military aid despite the accelerating communist support for Ethiopia's embattled Marxist regime. Marie Schlei, West German minister for economic cooperation, told a German radio interviewer the loan would be made by the government's Frankfurt-based aid bank under an agreement signed here Jan. 12. In reply to a question, she confirmed that the loan was granted with no strings attached. Asked whether this means Somalia could use the money for arms purchases, a spokesman for Mrs.

Schlei said, "That is correct." West Germany's usual policy is to specify the kind of purchases that can be made with foreign-aid loans. The spokesman said the policy was not followed in this case because "Somalia's foreign currency situation is so unfavorable that it needs this kind of assistance to cover its needs as soon as possible." Last Oct. 18, the Somali government allowed German commandos to raid a Lufthansa jet being held by Arab hijackers at the airport in the Somali capital of Mogadishu. The commandos freed 85 hostages and killed three of four terrorists. plications.

They flew to the island Friday night and planned to return to Washington on Monday night.

WASHINGTON (AP) President Carter sent Congress an economy-boosting $25 billion tax cut plan Saturday but warned that proposed reductions would have to be cut back sharply if Congress fails to adopt companion tax law revisions. In a special message, Carter said $34 billion in tax cuts would be partially offset by $9 billion in extra revenues that would stem from a broad range of tax law changes. The proposed revisions, although scaled down from Carter's original intent to submit "comprehensive tax reforms," are certain to stir controversy because of their impact on varied interest groups. "The full cuts in personal and corporate tax rates which I recommend would not be desirable' in the absence of significant reform," the president said.

Labeling his tax package "a central part of the administration's overall economic strategy," Carter contended it would mark "a major step towards sustaining our economic recovery and plants and equipment would be liberalized. However, the president called for a new crackdown on tax shelters that benefit the rich and restrictive new rules governing business expense deductions. "The privileged few are being subsidized by the rest of the taxpaying public when they routinely deduct the cost of country club dues, hunting lodges, elegant meals, theater and sports tickets and night club shows," he said. "But the average worker's rare 'night on the town' is paid for out of his own pocket with after-tax dollars." Carter urged that all such business deductions be forbidden, as well as any for first-class air travel. Another major change affecting many American corporations would make their foreign earnings fully subject to U.S.

taxes after 1980. Carter said the present system of levying taxes only after earnings are brought home "provides an incentive for investing abroad rather than in the United States, thereby having the effect of reducing job opportunities for simpler." He painted a rather gloomy picture of a sagging economy later this year if Congress does not accept his tax blueprint. The Carter proposals emerged with the following net reductions envisioned: $17 billion for individuals and $6 billion for corporations, plus a $2 billion revenue loss from repeal of the federal excise tax on telephone service and a reduction in business payroll taxes for unemployment compensation. For individuals', tax cuts to take effect Oct. 1 would benefit everyone with an income of less than $100,000 a year, Carter said.

"Over 94 percent of the net individual tax relief will be provided to individuals and families earning less than $30,000 per he added. "Under my proposals, the typical family of four that earns $15,000 a year will save almost $260, a 19 percent tax reduction." The present top corporate tax rate of 48 percent would drop to 45 percent on Oct. 1 and to 44 percent on Jan. 1, 1980. Credits for business investment in new Wage earners would feel the impact of the proposed reductions on Oct.

1, when lower withholding rates would take effect. Said Carter: "The tax reductions will more than offset the recent increase in Social Security taxes and will provide the consumer purchasing power and business investment strength we need to keep our economy growing strongly and unemployment moving down." He contended the tax package, together with budget proposals being submitted Monday, "should assure that our economy will grow at a 4 Vz to 5 percent pace through 1979, with unemployment declining to between 5Vfe and 6 percent by the end of 1979." However, he said, should Congress reject his proposals, "economic growth would slow markedly toward the end of 1978 and fall to about 3V2 percent in 1979," with unemployment apt to crease. Individual tax rates, which now range from 14 to 70 percent, would be reduced across the board by two percentage points. making our tax system fairer and ..9 rt.
