Soviet Ambassador Zaroubin has ignored a letter sent him last July by the Jewish Labor Committee challenging anti-Jewish statements made by Nikita Khrushchev in an interview with an Egyptian newspaper, the committee reported today. It said Zaroubin had failed to acknowledge the letter signed by Adolph Held, committee president, challenging statements by Khrushchev and asking for clarification of others. The interview quoted the Soviet official as having declared, among other things, that “we have already expelled them (the Jews) from our country.”
