PURPOSE: To recommend the White Huse be advised of Q ,~ '15 information received indicating the Chairman of the Kern County, California, Board of Supervisors has protested the consideration oi Chavez for Federal appointment in a telegram to U. S, Senators and Representatives from California. '

BACKGROUND' - At the re Quest of the White House a special inquiry concerning Chavez was initiated on September 15, 1966. Chavez, aged 39, is President of the National Farm Workers Association and has been active for some time in the Delano, California, area organizing agricultural workers. He is being considered for a White House staff position.

1 ' On June 27, 1966, in response to a name check I request, the White House was furnished a memorandum advising that Chavez has been characterized as a controversial i individual andhas openly been called a communist at Delano, 1 l California, City Council meetings. Although this has not been corroborated by Bureau sources, he reportedly associates with "left-wing" type individuals and allegedly has been distributing copies of the "People's World," a west coast communist newspaper, free of charge from his office. ,

By letter dated September 22, 1966, the White House was advised that Chavez volunteered he is not aware of any appointment for which he may be under consideration and does not intend to accept work outside the Delano, California, area.

J At long last a large section of the American people has begun 1

to realize the extent and depth of the oppression of the Mexican Am-

erican people in the Southwest. This realization -- a very much belated one -- comes as a dir-

ect result of the dramatic demonstrations in recent months by a large ! 1 number among the 5 million persons of Mexican descent who live in

the five south west states. _. It can be said that a sizeable section of the Mexican Americqaq people areliterally onthe march. 11-.- In Dqdano, California and in the Rio Grende Valley in Texas sQ{& ___pickets p*sdealong backwoodsroads and. liar on theUS-Mexico -border the most widely supported agricultural labor strike in the history

of our country.

Demonstrations around the anti-poverty program have shaken

Denver, Colorado, Los Angeles and thenSan Francisco bay area.

And in March in Albuquerque, New Mexico the dramatic short walk

by some fifty prominent leaders of Mexican American organizations out of the conference called by the federal government to discuss equgI7 oppdrtunities, has had its reverberations not only through-

out the Mexican American communities, but also in the White House.

From all indications these struggles represent the beginning of a new era in the life or the southwest. Stimulated by the civil

rights struggle in the nation, inspired by the revolutionary tradi-

tion of their homeland., Mexico, and witnessing and supporting in an unpredented manner the heroic strike or the most oppressed of all 0 Me:icanAmer1cans, the farm workers, a new mood of struggle appeared _ to have taken hold. p _ __=;_ i In_these states where one sixth or the nation lives, we find

one out of every four poor persons in the United States according to CongressmanHenry Gonzalez of Texas. The Poor,almost all of them Mexican Americans, the cnngrcosman said "live in an enormous belt of poverty beginning in east Texas, sweep1ng down through

AC South Texas andRio GrandeValley, and stretching west into New Mexico Arizona,Colorado, andSouthern California."APPT°PT1at°1U enough it has been described as a'thousand milesof P°VePtY- - Struggle is no stranger to the Mexican American De0D1e o£_the::; Southwest. History is replete with numerous ;heroic, and all too 0

Mexican Americanst~~2 Qften futile, attempts to better tP;ir let. And in this largely agrarian area they have been subjected to terror and intimidation in the land which was long part of the nation of their fore- fathers--Mexico-and where many still seek the fulfilment or the

terms of the Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo.

But the present day struggles differ from former ones.

Nowadays widespread support is coming from the civil rights move-

ment, sections of organized labor, the militant youth, and, an r ever incmasing section of religious leaders, especially the e Catholic Church. It is no longer a relatively simple matter forq 1 the opprefsors e of the Mexican Americans to cut into shreds at the; IF *

.-->__rirst si.1s of rebellion against semi-colonial oppression. K And young unafraid leaders, perhaps best symbolized by Cesar Chavez of the grape strike and Rudolph "Corky" Gonzalez who is leading the fight against police brutality and the inequities of the

anti-poverty program in Colorado, are coming to the fore as new heroes of this oppressed people. I

In the course of these struggles there are some indications

that major handicaps.of the past may be overcome. The prominent and outstqding role of women leaders in the grape strike and in antf'poverty protests is being widely discussed among Mexican American women in the Southwest and gives hope that the largely

latent power of Mexican American women, relegated to the home for

the most part, will be merged into the stream or struggle. Strike publications such as E1 Malcriado, published in Spanish

and English editions, has had an immense increase in circulation among Spanish speaking workers and gives rise to the possibility AL of more publications in Spanish to till this great need for . _, - communications in this language. '

Significantly these above mentioned struggles, and many more,

have become the concern of virtually all mass organizations in the

Span1Hh I1-nnlnng m-921mmnH'1-rh. '1'l~-1-o-11----ran-1*-B. have 1.nt¢-rooted on

each other, helping to galvanize into action some of the most

conservative ones. This has made the role of these Organizations, 92 and work within them by all forces, more important than ever before. The greater urbanization of the Mexican American population

has brought with it increased political organization in Mexican Americans.-5» 3 s:-1'1-ties" ="eh as the Politics ssocistion of Spanish Speaking Organizations PASSO!in Texas and the Mexican American Political Associations MAPA! in California and Arizona. And these movements reflect increased, and Justifiable, demands for po_itical representation. The dominant political establishents have not 92 reacted with sensitivity and understanding to these feelings. As a result the political organizations of the Mexican American people have become in many instances increasingly critical or their former Q allies. - ' Ewen;President Johnson, whose political allies in Texashavuiik I played anefarious role in respect ' to the Spanish Speaking peopln Uni S 'L -u-.. has begun to sing a new kind of tune as a result of the Albuquerd3§' walkout. In a recent meeting with four Mexican American political leaders Johnson indicated a greater receptivity to their demands

than ever before. If the California primaries are a true indication of the mood of the Spanish Speaking it will take more than a few promises to

once again corral the votes of the Mexican Americans. The demand for reprpentation is a deep one, and the criticism of the so-called lipgralrofrice holders in some states is widespread. This was re-

flected at the California polls. The Mexican Americans demand more

political representation such as was won in Crystal City.

The new developments in the southwest present a great opportunit,_rmd challenge to organized labor. Labor*s support for struggles such as the grape strike are very welcome while endorse-

ment of anglo candidates in predominantly Mexican-American areas

by labor is justifiably presented. ' _ Probably more than ever before a coalition or the Mexican4' Americans, Negroes, organized labor and liberal is a possibility. With the tremendous overwhelmingly working class character or the Mexican nmerdeen people in the Southwest such a coalition would '

surely be based in the working class. It could truly form an

anti-monopoly coalition of imposing proportions. It could Challeng

the corporate structure which all ton GUmp1otn1y minfh 1arg@ sections of the five state area. Unfortunately it cannot be said that our Party has thus far played a key role in all of these developments. It has played a modest one, and its contributions have been significant. Howeve _ _ 1 I-iexicen .~mcricar'921;92-- 4 ' W be ii the challenge of the immediate future 1;".-L be met it will require much more. It means, c..~,,-;.r.iaati-nu".-ally, e c~.or..-.....t~ia.r

of our work in the five state area on a regular basis with much

needed exchange oi experiences and information. 4 Also the increasing opportunities to rally the larger

community in support of the Mexican American demands can represent

an important link with more militant activists. And proposals

for united action emanating from the Mexican American organiza-

tions should rind a ready response from Communists and others. Much is changing in the course of these struggles. Pattern : .* ~.~:a! of thoht are undergoing rapid transformations and the role Q. --- Commmsts, and the C.P. can play should not be underestimatedmhr As in much oi the nation, the Southwest has begun to move. It '

provides a major challenge and opportunity for the Communists.
