SA PAUL Dw SJODAL that he does not believe C Z is a communist
_y:, and: agreeg with CHAVEZ! ideals in helping the underprivileged
*'. migrant {grm workers, although he does not feel CHAVEZ has
“ used progBr means to attain this goal. In particular, yon
_ — stated that in April, 1966, CHAVEZ was instrumental in
° org: zing & march of members of the former NFWA and thers
from Delano to Sacramento, California. ‘He said the Delano .
City Ordinance requires a parade permit for such activity
in Delano, and that CHAVEZ and the NFWA sought no such permit,
put formed the march and paraded from downtown Delano toward
Sacramento. said he felt CHAVEZ wanted lew
: enforcement offic g to attempt to break up the parade or
“> march, possibly using force, which would be recorded by
newsmen and photographers from a wide area, thereby giving
CHAVEZ and the NFWA needed publicity.
. eae **s‘<: the people of Delano generally
feel that outsiders who were either recruited or appeared
in Delano voluntarily to assist CHAVEZ have hindered CHAVEZ"
goals, especially the “long-haired, bearded, beatnik” types
who appeared and who had never had any experience as farm
we workers. He said these types of people, most of whom were e.
from the University of California, Berkeley, gave the impression
nn Yo TT
of being an “unstable reactionary" type.
A CHAVEZ and his assistant, DELORES HUERTA,
have creav’ alse picture of living conditions of migrant
farm workers in the Delano area and have rendered a dis-
service to the people of the area. He said these people have
a better standard of living than migrant workers in other
f parts of the country. .
j wee: CHAVEZ must have at least average
é ability @ p qualities or else he could not have
i created the following he now enjoys. He said CHAVEZ is a very
controversial figure in the Delano area and is not wel] liked
by citizens generally and grape growers in particular, since -
he ordered a strike against the growers in the Fall, 1965.
