Budapest (JTA) — The
Jewish leadership here is
critical of the Compensation
Law adopted by the
Hungarian Parliament last
week because its application
to Jews is limited.
Leslie Keller, head of the
Hungarian office of the
World Jewish Congress, told
the Jewish Telegraphic
Agency that the law will be
on the agenda of a con-
ference to be held in
Budapest this year where
the entire issue of compensa-
tion to Central European
Jewry will be discussed.
The WJC is organizing the
conference and will an-
nounce its date shortly, Ms.
Keller said.
The latest Compensation
Law, the third to be adopted
by Parliament, applies to
"people deported on racial,
religious or political grounds
during the Second World
War and also to resident
Hungarian citizens who
were oppressed outside the
country."
The law covers the 50
years from March 11, 1939
to Oct. 23, 1989.
According to its provisions,
the new Hungarian regime

will pay compensation for
Jews who were deported
from Hungary but not those
thrown into the Danube anti
drowned or killed in local
ghettoes and concentration
camps.
At least 600,000
Hungarian Jews perished in
the Holocaust and many of
them were killed inside
Hungary by the Nazis.
The first anti-Jewish laws
in Hungary date from May
28, 1938. The second were
passed in 1939. The purpose
of both was to eliminate
Jews from the commercials
and social life of the country.
But the new law ignores the
1938 decree.
Tamas Raj, a rabbi and a
member of Parliament for
the opposition liberal Free-
Democrat Party, was sharp-
ly critical of the law in it
draft stages. He proposed_
dozens of amendments but
few were accepted.
Hungarian Jews say the
issue is not the small
amount of the monetary
compensation but the gap in
the moral compensation for
which surviving Hungari
Jewry has waited for 50
years.

China Denies
Supplying Nukes

Tel Aviv (JTA) — Visibly
disconcerted by the sharp
questioning of reporters,
China's ambassador to
Israel, Lin Then, angrily de-
nied that his country has
ever supplied nuclear
weapons to countries in the
Middle East.
"Nonsense. China has
never supplied any nuclear
weapons to any country," he
retorted angrily when jour-
nalists pressed the question.
Mr. Lin was on a
ceremonial visit to Haifa to
sign a twin pact between
Israel's largest seaport city
and the port city of
Shanghai. It was the envoy's
first public appearance since
he presented his credentials
to President Chaim Herzog
two weeks ago, becoming
China's first ambassador to
the Jewish state.
But he was clearly not
used to the persistence and
blunt manners of Western
journalists.
He was especially irritated
at being asked repeatedly if
China supplied or was sup-
plying weapons to Iran and
possibly Syria, and whether

China planned to replace the'
former Soviet Union as an
arms supplier.
Mr. Lin turned to his host,
Haifa Mayor Arye Gurel,
saying, "I thought I was in -•
vited here to a reception, and
not a press interrogation."
But he replied, "We are
not doing many things in
this field, and I don't think it
will upset the balance in this
region. We aim toward peace
and security in this area."

Miniwar On
In Lebanon

Tel Aviv (JTA) — The
miniwar continued in—
southern Lebanon last week.
Israeli air force jets at- -
tacked Hezbollah targets in
the Jebel Tsafi area, north of
the security zone, and in
Nabatiyeh, in the general
area of Iqlim Toufah.
The sorties were in swift
response to a Hezbollah at- •
tack on positions of the
Israel Defense Force and its
allied South Lebanon Army
in the central section of the
southern Lebanon security
zone.
