U.S. Labor Secretary Raymond Donovan toured the ORT
School of Engineering in Jerusalem during his recent visit
to Israel. He examined ORT's programs in computers,
robotics and lasers. In Israel, 20 percent of the labor force is
involved in high technology, compared to 14 percent in the
U.S.

Archbishop John O'Connor

BY MARC TANENBAUM

During the early days of
Vatican Council II, a
number of Italian Jewish
leaders in Rome were so
moved by the humanity and
friendship of the late Pope
John Paul XXIII, that they
often used to tell me, "This
Pope John is the best Pope
the Jews ever had."

I felt something of that
same spirit of appreciation
for the person of Archbishop
John J. O'Connor when I
attended with other Jewish
leaders his recent installa-
tion at St. Patrick's Cathed-
ral. It's no secret that the
Archbishop came to New
York in a cloud of con-
troversy, triggered by his
unfortunate comparison of
abortion with the Nazi
Holocaust. While with

Missing soldier
reported captive
of terror group

Tel Aviv (JTA) — Secu-
rity sources confirmed a re-
port from Damascus last
week that an Israeli Druze
soldier, reported missing a
yealt ago, is a captive of the
Democratic Front for the
Liberation of Palestine,
(DFLP), a Damascus-based
terrorist group headed by
Nayef Hawatmeh.
The soldier was identified
as Samir Assad who lived in
a Druze village in Galilee.
The DFLP disclosed that it
was holding Assad only last
month. Until then his
whereabouts had been un-
known. The announcement
gave his rank as sergeant
and his army serial number.
It also contained a state-
ment from the soldiers say-
ing he was well.
Druze leaders. in Israel
have appealed for his re-
lease. He has not yet been
visited by a representative
of the International Red
Cross.

many others I share with
Archbishop O'Connor his
profound reverence for life, I
found his analogy intellec-
tually inaccurate and mor-
ally troubling.
The Nazis' systematic
campaign to destroy the
entire Jewish people was an
altogether different mag-
nitude of demonic evil than
the serious moral issues in-
volved in individual women
making personal choices.
Nevertheless, it is to the
credit of Archbishop O'Con-
nor and a sign of his honesty
and openness, that he lis-
tened seriously to his cri-
tics. In his wonderful mov-
ing homily, he reaffirmed
his important comm4ment
to the value of life, without
any demeaning compari-
sons.
This Archbishop came
through to me as an ex-
traordinary human being —
highly intelligent, widely
educated, direct, no phony
pretense, and with a knock-
out sense of humor. He has a
profound sense that reli-
gious leaders exist to serve,
not to be served.
Beyond that, his years of
leadership as a Navy chap-
lain have clearly made reli-
gious pluralism — respect
for Jews and for other
Christians — a basic part of
his vision.
Archbishop O'Connor is a
gift to the moral leadership
of this city, and I bet it will
not be too long before people
will be saying, "This man is
the best Archbishop the
Jews and New York ever
had."
