Israeli Foreign Ministry sources said in Jerusalem it was possible that Egypt under Sadat would pursue a peaceful settlement of the Arab-Israeli conflict but that it was too soon to make anypredictions. “Considering that Sadat was closely identified with Nasser and that Nasser had a peace initiative in progress, Sadat could mate a serious move toward peaceif he wishes,” an Israeli Foreign Ministry source said. “The stageis set for him, the possibility exists, we hope it will work out that way. A lot will depend on the Russians. We have to wait and see.” The Russians were moving swiftly. Diplomatic sources in Moscow said the Soviet Union had named oneofits highest ranking diplomats, Deputy Foreign Minister Vladimir M. Vinogradov, to become ambassador to Egypt.

Vinogradov whoheld the job from 1967 until his death two months ago. The two men were notrelated. Diplomatic observers in Moscow said the selection of a man of Vinogradov’s rank and experience reflected the Kremlin’s concern over the future of Egypt without Nasser. Vinogradov is intimately familiar with Soviet-Egyptian relations. He accompanied Premier Alexei N. Kosygin to Nasser’s funeral iast week and sat in on talks with Sadat and other Egyptian leaders.

First Lady Praised For Journey WASHINGTON (UPI) —First Laay Pat Nixon found her nineday European trip grueling, but she never allowed fatigue to interfere with her schedule. Mrs. Nixon was praised by almost everyone she came in contact with during the 12,000mile, five-nation tour, and the plaudits continued when she returned home. Vice President Spiro T. Agnew, greeting the Nixons with ceremonial fanfare at Andrews AFB, saluted Mrs. Nixon as ‘“‘our gracious First Lady” who “went about her im, portant business in capitals abroad with warmth” and proper demeanor, The First Lady bowed and beamed proudly at the public praise. She was greeted at planeside by her daughters Tricia and Julie Eisenhower, and son-inlaw David Eisenhower. ‘The trip was demanding and Mrs, Nixon gaveit herall, She graciously accepted bouquets at every airport, shook hundreds of hands and waved to welcoming throngs in motorcade rides through Rome, * Belgrade, Madrid and through many towns and villages in Ireland. today as president, plunging Bolivia into political chaos. He said he was stepping deen to avert a civil war, but instead he touched off a new powerstruggle. The struggle against Ovando was led by Gen. Rogelio Miranda, 46, the commander of the Bolivian army, and informed sources said he would head a new government. But within minutes a new candidate for the presidency emerged. Leftist Gen. Juan Jose Torrez, former army chief of staff who was ousted earlier this year by Ovando under pressure by conservative army officers, was reported to have been proclaimedpresident by a group of 100 officers. They had gone to the palace to back ando only to discover Ovando had taken asylum in the Argentine Embassy. There were insistent rumors that groups of armed peasants were arriving at the palace to try to restore Ovando, but most of the political and other reports flooding La Paz could not be confirmed because the palace was ringed with army troops. Gen. Fernando Sattori, commander of the air force, said Miranda had not been proclaimed president, increasing speculation the military was still debating whether to make Miranda the head or to appoint a junta. There was further confusion because Miranda had not yet arrived at the nalace, The Argentine Embassy confirmed reports Ovando had taken asylum there, ending a rule that lasted 374 days since he himself ousted president Luis Adolfo Silas Salinas in another coup. The new goveinment would be the 182nd in the turbulentpolitical life of Bolivia since it won independence from Spain 155 years ago. Ovando started out with a leftist policy which nationalized the American-owned Gulf Oil company fields in Southern Bolivia, but later moved right under the pressure of conservative army officers. Ovando himself headed the armed forces when they crushed the guerrilla uprising led by Ernesto (Che) Guevara, whowas killed in the jungles of southeastern Bolivia in 1967.
