ponsibility.
The HebreW daily Haaretz and
the English-language Jerusalem
Post said it will be widely believed
that the decision by Prime Minis-
ter Levi Eshkol was aimed at De-
fense Minister Moshe Dayan, al-
though Gen. Dayan apparently con-
curred in it. They said the move
was evidence of "political jockey-
ing" in the struggle for leadership
inside the dominant Israel j..abor
Party.
Gen. Dayan, whose ministry is
directly concerned with the opera-
tions of the military governments,
has been making personal calls on
Arab dignitaries in the occupied
territories in recent days and is
credited with having eased ten-
libns there.
Haaretz commented that Minis-
ter of Interior Moshe Shapiro, for
example, might not have had the
same influence on the Arab leaders
in Nablus as Gen. Dayan "who
soothed a dangerous mood in that
town two days ago." -
The paper suggestea that even if
Shapiro used the same words and
same approach as Gen Dayan, "the

cupied Arab territories from mili-
tary to civilian control. According
to an announcement following Sun-
day's cabinet meeting, all civilian
matters in the occupied territories
will in the future be handled by
the ministries concerned, just as
inside Israel proper. A ministerial
committee headed by Prime Minis--
ter Levi Eshkol will coordinate
over-all policies. Security matters
'will remain the responsibility of
the military government, the an-
nouncement said. But future con-
tacts with the he -ads of local Arab
communities will be made directly
through the ministries rather than
through the military government
as heretofore.
All public announcements con-
cerning residents of the occupied
areas will also be made by the
ministries concerned.
In dealing with the occupied ter-
ritories, each ministry will act
within the framework of its bud-
