The Argentine Government agreed to grant visas to Jewish refugees and to other immigrants who are willing to settle in cities other than Buenos Aires, the United Hias Service announced here today.
The announcement said that the United Hias representative in Buenos Aires is now obtaining visas for persons who have no relatives in Argentina as well as for those who have kin in that country. The initial new Argentinean visas were granted for a Jewish family who fled from Nasserism in Egypt. The family, composed of a young couple and their three children, were given permission to resettle in Mendoza, in West Argentina, near the Andes, where a well organized Jewish community exists, the United Hias report stated.
