...most symbolically important contest had yet to be decided. Chavez and his supporters have been boycotting the wines of the E. & J. Gallo Winery -California's largest producer-since 1973, when Gallo officials declined to renew their contract with the U.F.W. and instead signed with the Teamsters. At that time, workers did not vote their own preference for which union would represent them. The growers negotiated directly with the union heads. Last week 233 Gallo grape pickers voted to stick with the Teamsters, while 131 chose the U.F.W. But both unions challenged 198 ballots-throwing the outcome in doubt...

It would also allow Israeli cargoes through the Suez Canal, soften its anti-Israel propaganda, pledge not to support efforts by other Arab states to oust Israel from the U.N., and temper its current economic boycott of firms doing business with Israel. Sadat, of course, has already reopened the Suez Canal and twice extended the mandate of the U.N. buffer force. Under the same unpublished codicil, Israel would apparently accept the principle...
...Israeli border. Israel, which controls the passes, has offered to pull back to their eastern end, where it maintains electronic listening equipment to monitor Egyptian troop movements. Egypt's Sadat, on the other hand, demands that Israel pull out of both passes completely. He has threatened not to renew the mandate of the United Nations peace-keeping forces, presently wedged between the two opposing armies in the Sinai. The latest mandate is due to expire in two weeks...
