TEL AVIV (JTA) - Premier Yitzhak Shamir will present his own coonterproposala to the American peace plan when he meets with Reagan admiBiatnticn vffidala fai Washington next weak. But thqr will not carry the Israeli govarametit's stamp, of approval. Shamir said Tutoaday that he will put hia ideas to the Inner Cabinet Wednesday, but will not allow a vote. The Inner Cabinet, the govonunant'a top poUcymaking body, cwosista of fiva Labor and five Likud aanior miniatars, Shamir apparaoUy tsars a vote at this time would result in stalemate, which could force him to cancel Us Washington trip. He couM hardly argue parauaaively with the Americans for lirdpoAals over which his own govwnmeni is daadlockad. But Housing Minlatar David Levy, a powerful
voice in the Hanitfactionof Likud, told Israel Radio Tuesday that he will demand a vote whep the Inner Cabinet convenes. He said there was no point in the premier going to WashingUm without a full and direct mandate from the government. Shamir's aides, nevertheless, were busy putting the finishing touchiBS on the proposals that Shamir iih tends to present in Washington as altaniatives to the American paaca plan he recaivad fitm Sacntary of SUte George ShuIU last Friday. ShulU adced that Israel give a "clear respdnse" to the plan by March 15. Shamir will be in Waahington beginning March 14 and is aehadutad to meat with Prtaident Raagan on March 16. The ShulU plan calls for a greatly accelerated 0metable for Arab-Israeli peace negotiations, to be prtoaded as early aa nait month by the openiitg of an intama-
tional conference undar United Nations auspicaa. Implicit in the plan is the principle of trading territory for peace. Shamir and his Likud faction are on record as rejecting that concept, as well aa the idea of convening an in* temational conference. It ia: not known what altama^' tivea Shamir intmida to <tf> j fer.
