APW19980209.1461 NEWS NEWSWIRE Emilie Schindler, whose late husband, Oskar, was credited with saving the lives of 1,300 Polish Jews during World War II, will receive a monthly subsidy to ease her economic hardship, the Argentine government announced Monday. An order signed by President Carlos Menem stipulates that Mrs. Schindler, 90, receive 1,000 pesos, equivalent to dlrs 1,000, a month until her financial condition improves. The Schindlers moved to Argentina in 1949. Eight years later, Schindler left his wife penniless and with mounting debt, and returned to Germany. Schindler, who saved Polish Jews from Nazi concentration camps by putting them to work in his arms factories, was the basis of Steven Spielberg's film, ``Schindler's List.'' Mrs. Schindler, who published her memoirs two years ago, has said the success of the Oscar award-winning movie had done little to financially benefit her. Though her husband was widely seen as a hero, Mrs. Schindler rarely concealed her disdain for him. She accused him of being adulterous and once called him ``a man with no virtue.''
