erusalem — The resig-
nation of Brig. Gen.
Ephraim Sneh, head of
the Civil Administration in
Judea and Samaria, has
upset the tranquil image of
the administration, a body
operating far from the public
eye. Sneh, 44, also is expected
to leave the army.
He has not said why he
decided to resign, at the end
of September, after 27 months
in office. But reports say he
did so over policy disagree-
ment with Shmuel Goren —
the highest Israeli official in
charge of the territories.
Their conflict was over a con-
troversial water-drilling pro-
ject near Bethlehem, which
Sneh opposed and Goren
endorsed.
The Arab mayors in the
Bethlehem region have
argued that the drilling pro-
ject was intended to use
"Arab" waters for the Jewish
settlements. The water issue
floated high on the daily
agenda of the Arabs in the
territories, added to old com-
plaints that Israel was drain-
ing the waters in the West
Bank for its own use.
Goren, on the other hand,
contended that the driling
was an attempt to use waters
which otherwise would have
been wasted for the benefit of
the entire population — both
Jews and Arabs.
The project is still in
preparation. The actual drill-
ing is set to begin before next
year. But the controversy in-
side the civil administration
over the water issue seems to
reflect much deeper dif-

ferences about the degree of
Israeli control in the
territories.
Sneh has advocated
minimal Israeli control, with
delegation of as much
authority as possible to Arab
officials, in line with the pro-
posed Camp David autonomy
plan. Although this has also
been the declared policy of
Goren, who is considered "the
prime minister of the ter-
ritories," Goren has been on
record advocating a firm hand
in the territories.
As such, he backed the
strong measures adopted in
the past two years against na-
tionalist elements in the ter-
ritories, such as deportations,
administrative arrests and
closure of universities. In
brief, Goren stressed much
more than Sneh the need to
preserve Israeli interests
first.
Paradoxically, although the
West Bank is one of the hot-
test issues on the national
agenda, the running of the
civil administration — the
"government" of the West
Bank — has never been under
close public scrutiny.
The Knesget oversight of
the territories is through a
subcommittee of the Security
and Foreign Affairs Commit-
tee, whose proceedings are
usually classified. The state
comptroller oversees affairs in
the administration only as
part of the overall control of
the Defense Ministry.
Occasional reports of
mismanagement and miscon-
duct by civil administration
officials are usually treated
by administrative measures
inside the system.

Senate Approves
'Yarmulke Amendment'

New York (JTA) — The
passage of a Senate proposal
which would allow the wear-
ing of unobtrusive religious
headgear by members of the
military was hailed last Sun-
day by Rabbi David Saper---/
stein, co-director and counsel
of the Religious Action Center
of Reform Judaism. Sapers-
tein called the pas-sage of the
so-called "yarmulke amend-
ment" a "victory for religious
liberty and a demonstration
of effective cooperation by Or-
thodox, Conservative and
Reform Jewish groups."
Saperstein also praised Sen.

Frank Lautenberg (D. NJ),
who introduced the amend-
ment to the military pro-
grams bill that would permit
members of the armed forces
to wear yarmulkes, turbans
and other religious apparel.
The measure was prompted
by last year's Supreme Court
decision that upheld an Air
Force regulation barring a
captain from wearing his
yarmulke.
In 1986, the high court
refused the appeal of Rabbi
Simcha Goldman, an Air
Force psychologist, to be
allowed to wear a yarmulke
