Who Went Free

Jerusalem (JTA) — Gregory
Londin, convicted by Israel of
spying on behalf of the Soviet
Union, has been released from
jail after serving nine years of a
13-year jail sentence.
Mr. Londin was freed from
prison, after one third of his sen-
tence was commuted for good be-
havior.
Mr. Londin was arrested in
1988, as part of a wave of disclo-
sures of other Soviet spies in Is-
rael.
The Israeli daily Ha'aretz re-
ported that his identity, as well
as other Soviet spies, was
apparently disclosed by Alexan-
der Lumov, a KGB agent who
defected to Israel in the same
year.

Quebec Official
Wore Swastika

Montreal (JTA) — The lieu-
tenant governor of Quebec has
resigned after disclosing that he
wore a swastika as a medical
student 54 years ago.
Jean-Louis Roux, 74, a former
actor recently appointed to the
largely ceremonial position of
lieutenant governor by Canadi-
an Prime Minister Jean Chre-
tien, faced a barrage of criticism
after making the disclosure in an
interview with the French-lan-
guage news magazine L'Actu-
alite.
He also admitted in the inter-
view that he participated in an
anti-draft demonstration in 1942
that degenerated into vandalism
of Jewish-owned shops.
Faced with criticism from
groups including the Canadian
Jewish Congress and B'nai Brith
Canada, which had called for a
full apology to the Quebec Jew-
ish community, Mr. Roux issued
a statement in which he ex-
pressed regret for "an error in my
youth."
He then submitted a one-sen-
tence letter of resignation to Mr.
Chretien.
Mr. Roux was the official rep-
resentative in Quebec of Cana-
da's head of state, Queen
Elizabeth II of Great Britain.
He is a staunch federalist who
opposes the secession of Quebec
from the rest of Canada.
Prior to his resignation, many
leading separatists had de-
manded Mr. Roux's dismissal.
Gilles Rheaume, a leader of
the Sovereign Movement of Que-
bec, sent a telegram to Queen
Elizabeth asking her to have Mr.
Roux removed from power.
The separatist Bloc Quebecois
had demanded that Mr. Roux be
recalled by Mr. Chretien "for
