The Argentine Government has agreed to admit 1,000 Jewish refugee children from Nazi-occupied European countries, it was disclosed here today by the D.A.I.A., the central organization of Jewish groups in Argentina, which had petitioned the government for such an order. The Jewish organizations here will guarantee to provide transportation and maintenance for the young refugees. Since Argentina still maintains diplomatic relations with Germany, it is possible that the Nazis would be willing to allow the children to proceed here.
