On September 8, 1965, the Agricultural Workers Organizing Committee AWOC!, AFL-CIO with headquarters in Washington D.

The purpose of the strike was supposedly to increase the wages of the grape pickers. Actually, there are very few farm workers on . strike at this time and, in fact, even with the strike, more grapes have been shipped from Kern and Tulare Counties this year than in 1963. At the peak of the strike, during the end of September, 1965, he estimated that only about 800 farm workers at most, out of about 5000 workers, were actually on strike in the immediate Delano and adjoining Tulare County area.

LA 100-67un9 the picket lines were local farm workers, however, at this time most of the individuals on picket lines are persons from outside of Kern and Tulare Counties, and are carrying on the picket for higher wages for the farm workers even though they are not themselves farm workers.

The only disturbance of importance occurred on 9/25/65 at which time approximately 20 to 30 young Filipinos went to the Missakian Ranch, MacFarland, California, ordered a crew from a grape field, assaulted the foreman, assaulted several Filipino workers, and tipped over boxes of grapes on the ground. The group responsible for this act were Filipino hoodlums from san Francisco, California, but they were never criminally charged because of the lack of identification by witnesses.

NFWA is a local independent union, which has only reportedly been affiliated with the AFLPCIO since September, 1965. This affiliation is allegedly only for the purpose of supporting the present Delano-Tulare County strike. January,NFWA was formed 1963, possiblyand itsactual five years purp3;eis ago andnot atknown leastto since him. - gssanE}/CHAVEZ, a maleMexican, 1/31/27,born possibly a Delano, 5/3", 135 pounds, straight black hair, brown eyes, dark complexion, is the founder and Director of NFW§,with headguartersat 102 Albany street,Delano, telephone dumber8 61.

He does believe that CHAVEZ associates with "left wing" type individuals and is known to distribute the "People'sworld" from his office at Delano, free of charge.

This paper sells for 10¢ a copy. subscriptions to this paper can be mailed to P.O. Box 894, Delano.

Frior to the present strike in Delano, MANUEI was active in encouraging Filipinos to strike in Kern and Tulare Counties, and at the present time he is a representative of the AWOC.

MANUEL is also known to be "anti- police".

HUERTA was the individual who recently travelled F1 to Washington, D C. to apply for a federal grant for the __ NFWA through the Office of Enonomic Opportunity OED!. HUEITA made this trip on behalf of CHAVEZ and NFWA. A grant of $266,887.00 was made to the h'F'.-IAby the ore to be used as salaries and training 31 indigent migrant farm workers or Mexican-American ancestry for 60 days so that these trainees could teach other indigent farm workers citizenship, money management, the functions of governmental agencies and how to deal with these agencies. In addition, two of these 31 trainees would suppo sedly be further trained by being sent to an out-of-state college. when this grant was made public, it created more concern on the part of the general public in the Delano and adjoining rulare County area other

The proposed strike in Arvin was not successful. He was mainly interested in whether or not CHAVEZ and HAVENS were suspected of being associated with any subversive organizations or ' individuals. He does not know of any actual subversive activities on the part of either of these two men.

He is not aware of any subversive activities on the part of GINES, ITLIONG, MANUEL, TANSI or HUERTA. NFWA leadis byCHAVEZ, theand purpose of this L//I organization is 5UppO~SEdlY to improve the wages and living conditions of the migrant farm worker in Kern and Tulare Counties. NFWA claims they are an independent organization with offices at 102 Albany Street, Delano. He has no idea of the total membership of this organization. CHAVEZ rents the building at 102 Albany and also sells automobile tires and oil under the name Farm workers Co-op, at this address. CHAVEZ has recently been cited for not having a business license, and is due to appear in the Delano Justice Court in the near future to show cause why he should not be penalized for operating a business without having a city license.

CHKVEZ has reportedly stated that he desires to open general stores in the San Joaquin Valley to sell "all commodities" to farm workers at discount prices and to, therefore, create a boycott of local businesses. At this point, CHAVEZ has only the tire.and oil store mentioned above. CHAVEZ has also mentioned starting a Credit Union for farm workers who are members of the NFHA, however, he could furnish no additional information concerning this Credit Union or concerning the NFWA.

His own opinion is the. CHAVEZ is not altogether sincere in his desire to assist migrant workers, but is solely interested in making a name for himself and to gain financially. The $267,887.00 grant approved by OED for NFHA by the Federal Government has arroused considerable public opinion against making such a grant. His opinion is that CHAVEZ is not qualified to manage this large a sum. He has heard that CHAVEZ has only a grammar school education.

This article also stated labor support ass not the only support being received and that "high priority was given the civil rights workers from San Francisco and Los Angeles who have come to this city, and surrounding area, to assist the strikers. In the hall, one could see persons wearing Student Non-Violent Coordination Committee SNCC! and Congress of Racial Equality CORE! buttons. They were he1ping'to providethe manpower to keepthe strikemachinery going.The ri e strikehas becomea focal point ofconcentration forgmoting democratic rights in the state." A second source advised in October, 1965, that Sam Kushner, Los Angeles editor of the PW newspaper, stated that he had given 100 papers and $50 to the FWA strike. Kushner indicated that the big story in Los Angeles is the Delano strike, and he said that he got some pictures there which were to be used in the PW.

The hay Q, 1952, issue of "Labor Action", then an c_fl " -publication of the Workers Party WP!, carried an article which reflected that the HP was formed in April l9k0, as a result of a split within the leadership of the Socialist workers Party SW?! The article stated that when the Hitler-Stalin Pact was signed and Poland invaded, the minority group within the SUP, in proclaiming the formation sf the WP, condemned the pact es being imperialietic in nature and stated it would not support either imperialist camp.

The April 35, 1939, issue cg "Labor Action" contained an account of the Fifth National Convention of the HP, held March 24-27, 19b9, in New York Gity, which reflected the change of name of the organization from the WP to the Independent Socialist League ISL! in order to emphasize the character of the group as a propaganda group for the spreading of socialist ideas and not as a full-fledged political party. The July lll, 1958, issue of "Labor Action", an official publication of the ISL, contained an article captioned "The ISL Program in Brief." The article indicated: The ISL stands for socialist democracy and against the two systems of exploitation which now divide the world: capitalism and Stalinism. The ISL, as a Marxist movement, looks to the working class and its ever-presen struggle as the basic progressive force in society. The ISL is organized to spread the ideas of socialism_ih the labor movement and among all other sections of the people- qpoze can be no lasting and genuine democracy without socialism and there can be no socialism without democracy."

The September 22, 1958, issue of "Iabor Aztion" contained an undated statement signed hy the Poliiical Committee of the ISL which indicated that the ISL had been_dissolved. The statement urged former ISL members to Join the Socialist Party - Social Democratic Federation.

The SWP has been designated by Ci Attorney General pursuant to Executive Order l0N50. A source advised on May 21, 1958, that the San Francisco Bay Area Branch, Independent Socialist League, was an adjunct of the Rational Organization. The Bench had representation on the National Committee of the Independent Socialist League; it participated in the Campaigns Of the Independent Socialist League, and contributed financially to the support or the Rational Organization.

The source advised on August ll, 1958, that the San Francisco Bay Area Branch, Independent Socialist League, had dissolved itself and the members had joined the Local Bench of the- Socialist Party - Social Democratic Federation.

COMMUNIST INFILTRATION OF THE iTIOHAL FREE WORKERS AS30¬ITIO :1 _A DELANO; QlL;EORH¥A4* A source advised as follows on January ll, 1966: Since the October, 1965, mass arrests of pickets in the Delano, California, area by the Kern County Sheriff's Office, there have been no disturbances of importance. On the average there are approximately 40 pickets active in the Delano and adjoining Tulare County, California, area at the present time, during working hours in the vicinity of various farms in those areas. These pickets at time appeared to be attempting to provoke the farm workers in the fields through harassment into attacking them; however, no incidents have occurred to date. Source does not feel that the union organizers and pickets have the best interest of the farm workers at heart, but are merely "dead beats" and "trouble makers". Sixty three civic and church organizations have protested the actions of the Hational Farm workers Asso- ciation NFHA!, but NFWA seems to issue only ultimatums rather than make any reasonable attempts to resolve the problems that exist between the farm owners and the union, or to reach any solution to the problem at hand. with this in mind, source infeels it thefields is possible and pickets that fights anyat could time inerupt between thefuture. farm workers/// There appears to be no possibility of an end to the strike in the near future, and no agreements are foreseeable between RFHA and.the growers. The future will bring mass picketing of all agricultural areas in the San Joaquin Valley and other California farm locations, in the opinion of the source. . co IAL - C Exclu from automatic ' downg ng and deel- 1 cation COPI1-is n'!¥"I'R0v.=tn 3.'.-;FEB 91971_-FHCL um; _ . , ~- c pp / 'leLe-2. --- W _____1I l 5 Z_ r ___p -_,_-/ 7 _ '7, ______.._. __

It is also believed that she is,and will be in the future instrumental in organizing boy- cotts of grapes, grape products, and labor recruiting in California, and possibly other agricultural leealities in nearby states. . - ./' On December 16 1965, Halter-P. Reuther, Head of the UnitedAuto Workers um!, AFL-CIO,met withofficials of NFWA and the Agricultural Workers Organizing Committee AWOC! at Delano, California, and spoke before a group of approximately 500 farm workers. Reuther advised the growers and workers to solve their dispute at the earliest possible date. He said an injustice was being done the farm workers in the grape vineyards, and pledged UAW support in the amount of $5,000 per month for as 1Ong as it takes to assist the farm workers in organizing, adding that $10,000 would be donated for the month of December, 1965. with this support he feels that the NFWA and AHOC will be able to continue the Delano strike indefinitely.

Attempted boycotts of grapes and grape products are being made in various parts of California at the present time, and in some instances have been successful. lhese boycotts have also extended to other states as tar away as New York, New York, Washington, D.C., and Chicago, Illinois. Some of the organizations participating in boycott activity are the ?ggéa1Student Hon ViolentEquality, andCoordinating the Students Committee,a Democraticfor the CongressSociety on

In respect to SDS, it is noted that the Preamble of the SDS Constitution states "Students for a Democratic Society is an association of young people on the left...; one bringing together liberals and radi- cals, activists and scholars, students and faculty. It feels the urgency to put forth a radical, dembcratic program coun- terposed to authoritshm»movements both of Commnism and the domestic Right." During the 1965 National Convention of the SDS, the Preamble of the Constitution was amended to eliminate "counterposed to authoritarian movements both of Communism and the domestic Right." The SDS is opposed to present American foreign policy in Vietnam Although Cesandghatez,NFWA Director,has statedthat grape production was down 30$ and that growers are looking more and more for "scabs", the fact is that the 1965 grape crop exceeded all past records, and was harvested without any major labor problems. However, the "El Malcriado", official publication of the NFWA, continued to claim during the harvest season that grapes were turning to raisins on the vines. "

CENTRAl.IDS ANGELES DU B013 ¢LUB formerly known as the Youth Action Union and Los Angeles Youth for _, Peace and Sozialiam Z A source advised on March 25, 1955, that during the period January through March, 1962, a series or formation meetinns------u ta v Qsfahliqh -=- w'---'--'--- A "Qnnii.e~.--.-...8-...-.--.- 1#n+ V .9-is-..+h g; no Daloauqha nivafinn in-wanj " unq -u--iv held in the Los Angeles area. LEONARD POTASH was acting chairman in charge of the group and PAUL RCSENSTEIN and FRANKLIN ALEXANEER were named to a provisional committee to help organize the new group. On April 3, 1952, the group officially selected the name of Los Angeles Youth for Peace and Socialism, LAYFS!, and elected officers.

A second source advised that PCTASH, ROSENSTEIN, and ALEXANDER as of 1963 were all members of the Southern California District Communist Party senor!.

A third source advised on May 12, 196b, that the LAYPS was organized with the full knowledge and assistance cf DOROTHY HELEY, chairman of the SCDCP and that several Communist Party CP! members had been approved by HEALEY to teach Marxist theory to members of the LAYPS. This source further advised that the LAYPS was to be a Marxist study and action group and that the teachings of KARL MARX were to be followed. Source also advised that although the alleged purpose of the group was to promote "Socialism" in the United States, the group considered themselves to be "Communist Party Orientated" and were anxious to study the brand of Marxism associated with the CPUSA.

The first source above further advised that in June, 1963, L£YPS changed the name of the organization to Youth Action Union YAU! for two reasons: The first being that it was felt that LAYP§ had gained a bad reputation because of its association with CP groups, the second because it was felt the word "Socialism" in the title was driving away possible recruits. '

The first elected chairman of the LAYPS and YAU who continued in this position until early 196k, was MARVIN TREIGER, who as of April, 196%, was chairman of the Youth Commission, SCDCP. Since the organization's inception, key officers have been members of the CP.

W. E. B. DU BOIS CLO OF SAN FRANCISCO aka Du Bols Youth Group, San Francisco Du Bois Club, San Francisco Du Bois _¥9uth Group, S§ud§n§;L§§9r_Alliance_ A source advised that on January 31, 1963. the W. E. B. Du Bois Club of San Francisco held its first general meeting at~California Hall, Polk and Turk Streets, San Francisco, Californiat The aims of the Club-were put forth as follows: - ! alleviate the Negro problem in the U.S. J!2! promotepeaceful co-existencebetweenU.S. the . and Russia ! promote and encourage Marxist doctrines and to bring about a socialistic government in the U.S.

This organization publishes a newsletter entitled, "San Francisco News & World Report". In its first issue, dated March 3, 1963, there was set forth a "Proposed Statement of Principles in which the aforementioned aims were elaborated UPQR -

In this same issue of the "San Francisco News & World Report, the lead editorial in part describes the H. E. B. Du Bois Club of San Francisco as "...a group of young people who are convinced that Socialism is the only answer to the many problems of our time and so find philosophical rapport with the life and thought of Dr. Du Bois, nevertheless we are weighted with humility in comparing our goals and ambitions with the genius of his life and work. As a source is inspiration the figure of W. E. B. Du Bois is unequaled in American history, but as a standard and example, we seem miserably lost in his shadow We can only resolve that we do his name no dishonor, and whatever we may accomplish should be recognized as a supplement to his life work."

The November 25, 1961, issue of the "People'sWorld", a west coast communist newspaper published weekly in San Francisco, California, contains an article on page 12 reflecting that N. E. B. Du Bois Joined the Communist Party after applying for admission on October 1, 1961.
