~" LA 100~67449 He is not aware of any subversive activities on the part of GINES, ITLIONG, MANUEL, TANSI or HUERTA. NPWA 4s lead by CHAVEZ, and the purpose of this 1~ organization is suppo.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 041 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. CHAVEZ 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 NFWA, however, he could furnish no additional information concerning this Credit Union or concerning the NFWA. His own opinion is that CHAVEZ is not altogetner’ 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 OKO for NFWA by tne Federal Government has arroused considerable pudlic 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.
