American makes request to be Demjanjuk’s lawyer by Gil Sedan and Hugh Orgel JERUSALEM (JTA)—The Jus tice Ministry is considering a re quest by an American attorney. Mark O'Connor, to represent al leged Nazi war criminal John Demjanjuk when he stands trial in an Israeli court. O'Connor, who came to Israel last week, submitted a formal re quest Friday to Meir Gabai. direc tor general of the Justice Ministry, and DenmsGouldman. head of the ministry's international depart ment. Justice Minister Moshe Nis- sim will consult with the National Council of the Chamber of Advo cates. The question is whether a foreign attorney not a member of the Israel Bar may argue a case in an Israeli court. If O'Connor's request is denied, an Israeli defense attorney will be appointed for Demjanjuk. But it appeared likely Sunday that the Justice Ministry will allow O’Con nor to plead. A West German attorney was permitted to defend Nazi war criminal Adolf Eich- mann at his trial in Jerusalem in 1961. O'Connor told reporters Friday that his defense of Demjanjuk will be based on evidence that the Ukrainian-born former U.S. citi zen who was extradited to Israel three weeks ago is not the Treb- linka death camp guard the in mates called “Ivan the Terrible" because of his relentless brutality. According to the American at torney, he has “solid evidence” to support Demjanjuk’s claim that he is a victim of mistaken identity. He said that once he is granted the right to appear for his client he will travel to Europe to secure further evidence.

Dem- janjuk's trial will pit the recent tes timony of Treblinka survivors w ho have positively identified Demjan juk from photographs, against tes timony taken from other survivors many years ago that the guard known as “Ivan the Terrible” was in fact killed during an inmate uprising at Treblinka in 1943. Evidence to that effect has sur faced in Israel since Demjanjuk was brought here. The latest in formation that may cast doubt on Demjanjuk’s identity is the testim ony given under oath by a Treb linka survivor, Elias Rosenberg, to the Jewish Historical Documenta tion Center in Vienna in 1947. Rosenberg appeared before Tuvia Friedman, who ran the cen ter on behalf of Hagana and later achieved prominence as a Nazi hunter from the documents a- massed at his Haifa-based ar chives. His testimony was wit- Dr. Kurt Weigel. According to Rosenberg, the sadistic guard who operated the Treblinka gas chambers was killed by Jews in August 1943. Friedman has a signed copy of Rosenberg’s five-page testimony, given in German. Earlier, a 20-year-old report was found in the Bar Ilan University archives. It contains the testimonv of another survivor, Abraham Goldfarb, given to a student re searcher employed by the Bar Ilan Holocaust Research Center which in the 1960s compiled an oral his tory of Holocaust events from sur vivors who witnessed them. According to Goldfarb. who died last year. “Ivan the Terrible" and another guard were killed by Jews who stormed the gas cham bers in 1943 and their bodies thrown into the crematorium fur nace. The Justice Ministry has re fused comment because the case is sub judice. But the Yad Vashem Holocaust Memorial archives dis missed the report as unreliable. O’Connor believes there is addi tional corroborating evidence. In reply to reporters who asked why Demjanjuk was stripped of his U.S. citizenship, the lawyer said the U.S. Justice Department suc ceeded in proving only that Dem janjuk did not obtain his citizen ship by legal means. It did not prove that he and “Ivan the Terri ble” were the same person, he said O’Connor visited Demjanjuk at Ayalon prison near Ramla where he is being held in isolation while the police examine evidence pre paratory to drafting the charges on nessed by Dr. Otto Schushny and which he will be tried. Peres supports U.S. on free passage right by Gil Sedan JERUSALEM (JTA) —The U.S. Navy's exercise of the right of free passage in the Gulf of Sidra was hailed by Israel Tuesday as the correct way to deal with Uibyan leader Muammar Qaddafi. Ameri can and Libyan forces clashed in the disputed waters Monday and again on Tuesday. Prime Minister Shimon Peres declared in an official statement T uesday that it was the right of the United States to defend maritime routes. Libya claims the entire gulf is its territorial waters. The U.S. and virtually every other country recognize only the 12-mile limit. Peres denounced Libya as the spearhead of international terror ism, a source of violence and a threat to its neighbors. Only action such as that initiated bv the U.S. can cope with such behavior, he said. The Foreign Ministry described the American challenge to Libya as an act ol self-defense. Political sources in Jerusalem said they were encouraged by the American approach. According to Zeev Schitl. a respected Israeli military Muammar Qaddafi analyst, the key question in the Gulf of Sidra action is the degree ot Soviet involvement there. Schiff noted Tuesday that So viet experts probably were present at the the SA-5 missile sites in Libya when they were fired at U.S. aircraft over the gulf. “It is hard to assume that the firing of the mis siles at American targets Monda> took place without the knowledge of the Soviets. The only question is whether the Soviets gave their ap proval to the attack,” he wrote.
