I doubt if I could tell you anything that you do not already know about this Mexican Mafia. CesarChavez has been fy a thorn in the flesh around Lodi, which is the Tokay grape center of [. ae ‘ U.S. Ar” ih. Last spring, little Cesar descended on Stockton with his troupe of _ radicals. I was told that he sent a couple of organizers to several growers. If one would say he did not wish to join up, these hoods would say, "well jt would be too bad if your barn would burn down or your kid get run over." / Well, I saw two large barns burn last March. No one knows how they started , in such wet weather but it certainly was not spontaneous combustion. Y Perhaps this assassination hue and cry is partly a plea for public sympathy for Cesar is losing ground in this state. His first Lt., Harry Itilong, quit him. His publicity agent, Senor Campos, quit him and started lecturing to the effect that Chavez said he was working for the Mexican people but he was really working on them, U3 REG KLE Ko fe Last year I mailed ns books "Bitter Harvest" to many prominent people in U.S. and had them run in installments in Farm weeklies but not with my name to be used for any publicity for my son ay It is hard enuf to stayin business these days without a vengeful Cesar after one. ¥ FEC 2 Gass I asked my friend, if he thot it weuld do.any good to mail a book to each of the U.S. Bupreme Court judges for they had declared a Boycott on grapes & lettuce for Chavez. He said the Court was there for life and might not take time to read but that Attorney Gen. Mitchell was a very nice person and might read the book. I sent one. I honestly believe that any- one who read "Bitter Harvest'"' would have no sympathy for Cesar Chavez. . a en ‘CB
