CIVIL WAR page 5
points out, there was a large
Jewish involvement in money
and blood in the Civil War. We
had our own share of Jewish
American heroes on both sides.
Many books, catalogs and pe-
riodicals discuss the skirmish-
es, issues of the times and other
Civil War-related material.
Thousands of men and women
spend millions of dollars on au-
thentic uniforms and equip-
ment — not to mention time
away from work and families —
to re-enact battles. The conflict,
the times, the politics all con-
tinue to fascinate and teach us.
What's tragic, though, is that
there are still some who never
take off the uniform of hate and
prejudice. That uniform isn't
necessarily gray, nor is it blue.
And for them, the Civil War will
never end.
Stereotypic white southern-
ers don't own the franchise on
hate. Now, black and Jewish
differences are at the forefront,
exactly the spot where our com-
mon enemies want to see them,
exactly where the people who
put the sign up by the swim-
ming pool want to see them.
There were black Civil War
heroes, there were Jewish ones.
What we need now is more
heroes from both sides, or the
message that almost destroyed
this nation only 130 years ago
isn't learned.
We don't need a trip to Vir-
ginia to photograph profiles in
courage. We can start right here
in Southfield, Oak Park, West
Bloomfield, Farmington Hills
and in other communities.
It wasn't just a message of
sabre-wielding officers leading
their lines into battle. It was a
message of racial equality, eco-
nomic justice and one nation un-
der God. It makes for a great
movie. But it's even better when
it's lived.

Investigators Of MIAs
Promised Cooperation
Jerusalem (JTA) — The
American congressional
team investigating the fate
of missing Israeli ser-
vicemen has told the
soldiers' families that they
were promised full coopera-
tion by both Syrian and
Lebanese authorities and
hoped to see results of their
investigation in the coming
weeks.
The team left the area
after their visits to Syria and
Lebanon and meetings with
Israel Defense Force officers
and the soldiers' families.
Afterward, the father of
one of the missing men said
he was optimistic about the
chance that at least some of
the soldiers could be alive.
He also said it was possible
that the team, which con-
tinued on to an unrelated
meeting in Greece, would
return to Syria "depending
on how fast things move."
The team, led by Michael
van Dusen, chief of staff of
the House Foreign Affairs
Committee, was able to
search the area of the 1982
battle near Sultan Yakub in
eastern Lebanon, in which
three of the soldiers disap-
peared.
It was the first such visit to
the area by American offi-
cials and made possible only
following Syrian promises to
aide the U.S. humanitarian
effort.
The investigators, escorted
by Syrian and Lebanese
troops, took soil samples
from gravesites and inter-
viewed villagers at length,
according to wire service
reports.
The father of Sgt. Zachary
Baumel, Yona, missing since
the Sultan Yakub battle,
told Israel Radio "there was
nothing of substance" he
was able to report.
But he did say the coopera-
tion shown by the Syrians
and Lebanese was a good in-
dication that a solution
would be found soon.
Yona Baumel also said he
was optimistic that the
"boys are alive," although
he cautioned against expec-
ting any immediate
breakthroughs.
"We've learned not to
stand with a stopwatch," he
said. "Things have to be
done well, not necessarily
quickly, and our impression
is this American team is do-
ing things very well."
Meanwhile, Hezbollah
leader Sheik Habil Kaouk is
reported to have said his
group had come under no
pressure from Syria to meet
or cooperate with the
visiting team despite the re-
cent visit to Damascus by
the Hezbollah's secretary-
general, Sheik Hassan
Nasrallah.
