Prominent Argentineans jammed the premiere last night of the motion picture “Ashes in the Wind,” which pleads the cause of the Jewish refugees and openly condemns the exclusionist policy of the Castillo Government and the toleration of fifth columnism by the Argentine authorities.

The producer of the film, Eduardo Bedoya, publisher of the liberal daily, “Critics,” stated today that he had made the film ? that a brotherly message could reach the Americas from the real Argentina which has the strongest feelings for the United Nations and feels profoundly the plight of the flagless refugees.”
