WASHINGTON (AP) The nation's Jobless rate rose to 4.3 per cent last month, the highest point in two years, the Labor Department said today. Commissioner Arthur M. Ross of the Bureau of Labor Statistics declined to say whether the rise in unemployment indicated an economic lag, but he said a smaller-than-usual increase in employment and a slight drop in the average work week in October "were certainly disappointing." The unemployment rate was up two-tenths of one per cent from September and up five-tenths from August for the biggest two-month rise in seven years. In actual numbers there were about 56,000 more unemployed In October than September, boosting the total to 2,951,000.

Total employment rose some 550,000, about the usual expected number for the month, to 181,000. Working Hours Shrink The average work week was down slightly to 38.1 hOurs in October. This was more than half an hour less than a year ago. The bureau said much of the rise in the unemployment rate was 'due to a larger-than-usual increase in the civilian labor force, which rose about 600,000 to a total' of 78,132,000 in October. The main rise in jobless workers was among men and teenagers while the employment situation for women remained virtually unchanged.

The total number of unemployed was 500,000 higher. than October 1966, the bureau said.

The votes, taken at special town meetings here, in Montgomery, Russell, Worthington and Middlefield, make the region the first in the immediate Western Massachusetts area to expand a six-grade regional system to include both elementary and secondary grades.

An ultimate K-12 setup for the Wahconah Regional school -district was recommended last year by former Supt. Thomas H. White and his associate superintendents. However, that plan has been effectively killed, at least for the present, by a Dalton decision to solve school crowding problems by building its own elementary school, rather than Joining in a regional junior high school.

The Votes Votes by towns on the expansion were: Huntington, 114-66; Montgomery, 63-0; Russell, 63- 36; Worthington, 75-31, and Middlefield, 33-24. UNITED NATIONS, N.Y.
