Mickey Leland. Mr. Tillem, an Orthodox Jew, was 32. Mr. Leland, a black Democrat interested in bridging the festering hostili- ty between black and Jewish communities, was 44. A lawyer, publisher and philanthropist, Mr. Tillem had been accompanying his friend, Mr. Leland, on a trip from Addis Ababa to an Ethiopian refugee camp. The plane carrying 16 passengers crashed into a mountain. It was found Sunday after it had been missing for nearly a week. There were no , survivors. Mr. Leland, chairman of the House Select Committee on Hunger, worked diligently for famine relief in Africa. He also was a strong supporter of Israel and an advocate for Ethiopian Jewry. "He was not only a link bet- ween the black and Jewish communities, but between all people," said Ellen Cohen, ex- ecutive director of the American Jewish Committee in Houston. Cohen sits on the board of the Leland. Kibbutz Intern- ship, a program Mr. Leland created 11 years ago to send poor black children from Houston to Israel. Each year, 10 high school juniors are selected from Mr. Leland's district to spend six weeks in Israel learning about Jewish culture and heritage. Mr. Leland also worked for Ethiopian Jewry, often bring- ing the issue before Ethiopian officials. Mr. Tillem was on the ad- visory board of the North American Conference for Ethiopian Jews. He had spoken of assisting the Ethio- pians by creating kibbutz- style cooperative farms in an effort to cope with that coun- try's food shortages. A native of New York and a graduate of Queens College and the Benjamin N. Cardozo School of Law at Yeshiva University, Mr. Tillem was an assistant professor of social science at Yeshiva's Stern Col- lege for Women. He was elected to Stern's board of trustees two years ago. He also was treasurer of Stern. This year, he became a director of Cardozo School. From 1980 to 1983, he was associate general counsel of the National Jewish Commis- sion on Law and Public Af- fairs, arguing several civil rights cases. In business, Mr. Tillem con- trolled the Pacific Group, a diversified industrial holding company that includes the Pacific Financial Corp. and the Pacific Press. He was editor and publisher of the Jewish Directory and Almanac. Louis Heideman Dr. Louis E. Heideman of Birmingham, a pediatrician who was affiliated with many professional and community organizations, died Aug. 14. He was 76. During his life, Dr. Heideman was a staff pediatrician for Jewish Fami- ly Service, a captain in the U.S. Army and an associate professor of pediatrics at Wayne State University medical school. He was a Dr. Heideman member of Congregation Shaarey Zedek, where he served on the youth and education committees. Among his involvements, Dr. Heideman served on the board of directors and on the family and child case commit- tee for the Jewish Family Ser- vice. He was the liaison to the Michigan State Medical Society for the Crippled Children's Commission before serving as president of the medical society. Dr. Heideman also served on many committees for the Mayor's Commission on Human Resources Develop- ment, including the health subcommittee. Dr. Heideman leaves his wife, Ethel; a son, Michael (Carol). of Cincinnati; a daughter, Rosalind (Louis) Rochkind of Huntington Woods; a brother, Theodore (Marian) of Louisville; a sister, Dorothy (Robert) Selik; and three grandchildren. .
