happy about his own or country's name being dragged around in this issue." He said the Wiesenthal Center officials have the sense that the Lithuanian leader wants to resolve the issue soon. Mr. Landsbergis has pledged to vote for a repeal of the 1975 U.N. resolution denigrating Zionism as racism when it comes before the General Assembly, David Harris, executive vice president of the AJCom- mittee, announced at the luncheon. But as to the extent of Mr. Landsbergis' remarks, Mr. Harris said, "clearly there is still a good deal more work to be done in Lithuania. There are still definitional questions and procedural questions that remain am- biguous. "But what we heard to- day," he said, "was an im- port ant step toward recognizing that a serious problem remains that needs to be addressed." Not everyone attending the luncheon was satisfied with what Mr. Landsbergis said. "What was unequivocally missing was a statement of apology and regret that the people of Lithuania took part in the killing of Jews," said Abraham Bayer, direc- tor of international concerns for the National Jewish Community Relations Ad- visory Council. "There were pogroms (by Lithuanians) before the Nazis entered Vilnius," he said, "and there has never been a full- fledged apology to the Jewish people." Unemployment Soars In Israel Tel Aviv (JTA) — Israel's unemployment rate soared by an average of 15 percent in October compared to previous months, according to figures released last week by the Labor Exchange. The increase was described as unprecedented for a sin- gle month. About 145,000 jobless peo- ple registered for work last month. The hardest hit loca- tions were Mitzpe Ramon in the Negev, where unemployment rose by 16.3 percent, and Or Akiva, north of Tel Aviv, which recorded a 13 percent rise. The National Insurance Institute, which pays out unemployment benefits, re- ported a 17 percent rise in the number of people receiv- ing the compensation.
