Police also raided the
headquarters of the illegal
Nationalist Revolutionary
Youth(JNR) and arrested 10
members, including the
leader of the movement,

_Juan Rubio Gomez, 18.

The .JNR is believed to
have between 200 and 300
members in Madrid. About

in Barcelona, the Spanish

Throughout Spain, members
of neo-Nazi groups are es-

of Spain's ultra-right,. says
his New Force patty, which
won one seat in the 354-
member lower house of
parliament “has never had
anything to do with those
Nazis or any other. group that
uses violence.” |

But the JNR appears to

Rubio Gomez,' the JNR
leader, said his’ group's
charter is a copy of that of

now is legal, and therefore
“the government will have to
recognize us” as a legitimate
political party.

Government officials say
there is no chance of that,
but they will net explain why

The film, by director
Diane Letourneau, 36, gives
the viewer a peak into the
lives of the sisters whose

dedicated to the service ‘of

place in March 1978 and
there was a special avani-
premiere for the sisters last
fall. They all loved the film.

Finally, what remains for
the viewer is the remarkable
simplicity and happiness of
the nuns, something which
Ms. Letourneau herself says
she found disturbing.

“It's troubling because
they’re not unhappy. They're
“very charming and very
warm.’ '

The film closes on a sad
