The proposal would re quire about 200 transport planes to keep new mobile missiles airborne, plus an es timated 100 space airplanes. The missile carrying air craft could be scattered among thousands of existing U.S. airports, said the offi cial, who declined to be named. The air transport is the alternative to the "shell game approach" in which about 200 missiles would be mounted on trucks and fre quently moved among 2,000 to 4,000 widely separated launching holes. Technical experts esti mate each plan would cost between $20 billion and $30 billion to develop and put into effect. Administration officials believe the present force of 1,000 Minutemen land based missiles, sitting in fixed underground silos, will become vulnerable to sur prise Soviet attack by 1983 or 1984. Reaction Tel Aviv-The Israel Egyptian peace drive was shaken Thursday when Is rael announced it is streng thening existing Jewish settlements in the West Bank in apparent vexation at the United States, and Egypt said it may recall its Washington peace negotia tors for consultations. Secretary of State Cyrus Vance issued a statement in Washington saying the Car ter administration was "deeply disturbed" by the Israeli move, which he called a "very serious matter." Israeli Foreign Minister Moshe Dayan acknowledged that the settlement deci sions "make it more diffi cult" to reach final agree ment with Egypt in a peace treaty. Israeli government offi cials said the decision to ex pand Jewish settlements on the West Dank of the Jor dan River was made in angry reaction to statements made privately by Assistant Secretary of State Harold Saunders over the future of the Palestinean populated zone.
