ybon ON THE BOARDWALK Is OPEN those of Levy to deprive Shamir of the convention's endorsement as leader of Herut. The portly Sharon, a Yom Kippur War hero and probably the most controversial politician in Israel, is the only Herut figure who managed to emerge from the stormy convention politically stregthened. The pandemonium had hard- ly died down when he astutely distanced himself from Levy, identified his camp as the "third force" in Herut and began a round of "shuttle diplomacy" between Shamir and Levy. Sha- mir called on his supporters to cease their war of words. Levy What took place at the convention was a naked struggle for power between insiders and outsiders. contributed to the cooling off when he declined to be inter- viewed on the main televion newscast. This was an act of restraint since Levy is the only one of the principles not to ap- pear on television since the con- vention broke up. Sharon, building on the at- mosphere of relative civility, assumed the role of mediator with a formula to heal the lacerated Herut. His proposal is a three-way division of power. Shamir would be elected chair- man of Herut. evy would become chairman of the party's Execu- tive. Sharon would assume the chairmanship of its Central Committee. The arrangement, if agreed upon by all concerned, would be put before the conven- tion which would reconvene, possibly in a week or so, for no more than a half day. Sharon's plan got a cold shower from the Shamir camp. The Foreign Minister was not about to accept the largely honorary title of chairman while foregoing the key position of chairman of the Executive. It was pointed out that Menachem Begin, Herut's founder, always held both chairmanships, the former giving him prestige and the latter .effectiye control of the movement: Levy, too, according to his aides, was Unlikely to accept the thiee-way pn*ei-sharing scheme. Levy supporters are convinced that if the convention is resum- ed, their man can defeat Shamir. However, they concede they Would need the backing of the Sharon camp. ; Sharon, is estimated to Om- mand 10 to ,15„pereerit of the 2,000 convention delegates. Levy's strenglit is estimated at least 35 percent.,The balanCe are Shamir piipiiinters, But Sharon's political stock has risen. At the convention, he overwhelmingly defeated Binyamin Begin, son of the former Prime Minister, for chairman of the important cre- dentials committee. That suc- cess provided him with clout far out of proportion to his numer- ical strength. Sharon's troika strategy*, ac- cording to political observers, is to establish himself as the equal of Shamir and Levy at the par- ty's summit. His strategy is aid- ed by growing fears in Herut that Labor is eager to exploit the party's disarray. The Labor Party opens its convention on April. Unless Herut has put its house in order by then, it will be open to ridicule as a party un- able go govern itself, much less the nation. At risk is the rotation of power agreement whereby Prime Minister Shimon Peres must hand over his office to Shamir next October 13. The agreement which is the basis of the Labor-Likud coalition, was reached between Peres and Shamir on a personal basis. Peres is not required to relin- quish his office to any other Likud leader. The Prime Minister has prom- ised to carry out his part of the. bargain. But Peres is under pressure from within the Labor Party to renege on grounds that Herut has demonstrated its in- ability to run the country.
