Levin vs. Lousma
Continued from Page 19
replies, "but there wasn't
enough time." However,
this wasn't Lousma's first
trip to the Middle East. As
an astronaut, Lousma was
sent by the U.S. State De-
partment to five Arab coun-
tries in 1977. "I visited
Tunisia, Syria, the United
Arab Emirates, Oman, and
Saudi Arabia. And I've seen
the whole place from space
many times," he adds.
Has former Michigan
Governor George Romney's
kosher porkchop comment
this week stripped more
fuel from Lousma's orbit?
Romney told reporters
that a split-ticket vote cast
for Levin is as useless as a
porkchop at an Orthodox
Jewish picnic."
Romney later said that he
placed emphasis upon the
world Orthodox because
"Levin is not an Orthodox
Jew." But will Romney's
comment make any dif-
ference in the final week of
the campaign? Will Rom-
ney, having once sunk his
own Republican hopes by a
slip of the lip, now do the
same to Lousma?
"I hope not," said
Lousma. He (Romney)
didn't mean it as a particu-
lar slur. He's made the
same comment about Mor-
mons" (substituting whis-
key for porkchops — Mor-
mons do not drink liquor).
But does Lousma disasso-
ciate himself from Rom-
ney's remarks — much as
Democratic Presidential
candidate Walter Mondale
sought to do when con-
fronted with reaction to
Jesse Jackson's "Hymie"
comments?
"I don't think that (Rom-
ney's statement) was really
an ethnic remark," demur-
red Lousma, "and it cer-
tainly was not made to con-
vey any such feeling. It was
not at all like the thing with
Mondale and the black
community where out-
and-out slurs were made.
Romney's comment was an
observation — and was not
meant to be defamatory."
How strong is support for
Lousma within the Detroit
Jewish community? That's .
difficult to assess, espe-
cially given the sensitivity
of his challenging the first
Jew to hold a U.S. Senate
seat from Michigan, but
Lousma believes there are
areas of "quiet support" for
his candidacy among
Jewish businesspeople.
Lousma cites what he calls
Levin's poor record of sup-
port for business-related
legislation as a possible fac-
tor. The conservative Na-
tional Chamber of Com-
merce rates Levin 17.6 out
of a possible 100 on pro-
business votes in the Se-
nate. Lousma says "Jewish
people in the business sec-
tor recognize the need to
have a steady, albeit slow,
economic recovery" of the
type advocated by both
President Reagan and
Lousma.
Lousma also points to his
support on the state's col-
lege and university cam-
puses. He heralds the re-
turn of "colleges back to the
old traditional values" and
believes his candidacy is a
beneficiary of the recogni-
tion by students that "space
is the wave of the future and
provides an opportunity for
hope and vision based upon
a futuristic ideal."
As an astronaut, Lousma
orbited Earth 858 times and
walked in space twice dur-
ing the 59 1/2-day Skylab
space station mission in
1973: Nine years later, he
commanded the space shut-
tle Columbia during its his-
toric seven-day, 130-orbit
flight.
But does Lousma possess
enough of the "right stuff"
to become Michigan's junior
U.S. Senator? That's a
question the voters of
Michigan will have to an-
swer next Tuesday.
Naming of Spanish
envoy to Israel
reported near
Bonn (JTA) — A prominent
Spanish socialist politician,
Enrique Mugica-Herzog, is pre-
paring himself for the task of be-
coming his country's first Ambas-
sador to Israel, according to well
informed sources in Madrid. The
sources'said that Spain is taking
seriously warnings by West
European nations that failure to
establish diplomatic relations
with Israel could add to Spain's
difficulties in joining the Euro-
pean Economic Community
(EEC) at the beginning of 1985.
Madrid apparently wants to
appoint a "political" ambassador
rather than a professional dip-
lomat to what is considered to be
an extremely sensitive post.
While the Spanish Foreign
Ministry officialy maintains that
no new steps have been taken to
establish diplomatic relations
with Israel, it is, at the same time,
giving the impression that the
time is ripe for new initiatives.
This has been made clear in re-
cent reports by Spanish jour-
nalists who are close to the
Foreign Ministry.
