does not is a communist§=-, and-agree� with CHAVEZ� ideals in helping the underprivileged�ii migrant.�iT@ workers, although he does not feel CHAVEZ has

used� go�r means toattain this goal. in particular,P"&#39;-&#39;; &#39;_ �stated that in __April,�Tl966,CHA�JEZ was instrumen al in&#39;"&#39; org zing a march of members pf the former NFWA andcthers -

from Delano to Sacramento, California. �He said the-Delano p_&#39;City Grdinance requires a parade permit for such activityin Delano, and that CHAVEZ and the NFWA sought no such permit,but formed the march and paraded from downtown Delano toward&#39; - Sacramento. Fsaid he felt CHAVEZ wanted law

- " enforcement o cials o attempt to break up the parade ort~~�-march, possibly using force, which would be recorded by

-s newsmen and photographnsfrom a wide area, thereby givingCHAVEZ and the NFWA needed publicity.

. Fstated the people of Delano generallyfeel that u s ers who were either recruited or appearedin Delano voluntarily to assist CHAVEZ have hindered CHAVEZ�goals, especially the �long-haired, bearded, beatnik" typeswho appeared and who had never had any experience as farm

&#39; workers. He said these types of people, most of whom werefrom the University of California? Berkeley, gave the impressionof being an "unstable reactionary� type.

_ an _ - _-_-____ - - - _ u L_ llE10 CHAVEZ. and his assistant, R115 nu:.ni¢-.,have creat also picture of living conditions of migrant

H; farm workers in the Delano area and have rendered a dis-� service to the people of the area. He said these people have

e a better standard of living than migrant workers in otherL� parts of the country. .

said CHAVEZ must have at least average2 ability a s p qualities or else he could not havecreated the following he now enjoys. He said CHAVEZ is a verycontroversial figure in the Delano area and is not well liked

- w by citizens generally and grape growers in particular, since�he ordered a strike against the growers in the Fall, 1965.

n intelligence, but he appears to have an excellentability to organize in the farm labor erea= isaidCHAVEZ seems to be conversant on only one subaect, thatis, the existing labor dispute and the plight of thefarm worker in California. said that, in his opinion,the ability of CHAVEZ stemsghis associates in theHF�-&#39;.&#39;A and not necessarily from his own knowledge. He saidCHAVEZ had made a very poor general impression with him,

- due to his inability to carry on an intelligentconversation on subjects other than farm labor matters.

asaid that C-1-IAVTIZ is a mercenary person andhe questions the sincerity of CHAVEZ in helping the farmworkers. He feels that the Delano strike is only a meansof livelihood and power for CHAVEZ.

Delano, has been under strong criticism for failure totake a definite stand in the dispute between the grapegrowers and the United Farm Workers Organizing Committee UFWOC!, headed by CESAR CHAVEZ, He said it was theAlliance&#39;s position to take a neutral stand, as they didnot feel the churches should inject themselves in a unio n

management dispute.

_said he has talked with cmvtzand DOLORES HUERTA on several occasions and is of theopinion that HUERTA is a reactionary and anti-capitalistwho has been evasive in discussing the aims of the

comment regarding his loyalty to the American fonm ofgovernment, but felt he probably ts not a comunist.He said he would not be able, on the basis of his knowledof CHAVEZ, to recommend or endorse him for a position oftrust in which the United States Government might have aninterest.

�,. .-. .- -- aMr. Johnson obviously is the victim of bad informa-

&#39; We agree with David Fairbairn, chairman of theKern� County Board of Supervisors, that this proposedappointment is an absurdity. _ .

But weiwould go further. _ &#39;We submit this is a cynical and cruel hoax that in

the long run can only undermine and make _a mockeryof the legitimate aspirations of our citizens of Mexicanancestry for the recognition by otficiolclorn to whichthey are entitled. .

While the specific nature of the appointment underconsideration has not been revealed up to now, it mustbeholted. - J

I .ln the interests of good government; in the inter-ests of citizens� confidence in their government and itsleaders, this appointment must be stopped.

&#39; Lyndon Johnson cannot build a Great Society byintroducing the New Left into the foundations of thestructure. if Mr. Chavez wants a Federal [ob he mustfirst renounce the New Left allies to whom his move-rnent_ owes so much. &#39; &#39; ~ -

If Mr. Chavez refuses to repudiate the New Left,the Johnson Administration will have no choice�if itis" to keep faith with itself and the people-it serves-�but to renounce Mr. Chavez. -

A source advised on May 8, 1963, that DiscussionUnlimited, Inc. actually was originated in Les Angeles,California, in May, 1962, and was composed largely of a numberof present and former Comunist Party members who_assist instaging panel forums and in promoting such events. Criginalcoordinator of the group was BERNARD LUSHER, who in 1961,was educational director of the Southern California DistrictCommunist Party.

This source was recontacted on April 9, 1965, andindicated that the basic concept of Discussion Unlimited, Inc.has not changed. It continues to present "left ideas" to atleast partially non-comitted audiences. It proposes todevelop special activities around various issues on an irregularbasis. It is not a membership organization, and does not holdregular meetings as such, but rather is strictly a forum-typeorganization.

On May 10, 1966, another source reported thatDiscussion Unlimited, Inc. continues to operate as a forum-type organization.
