Flood of Strikebreakers Let In By Immigration
An urgent appeal by Coachella Valley farm workers calls for food funds and public pressure as 1500 domestic workers walk out in a dispute with 16 major grape ranchers. Cesar Chavez accuses the U S Immigration Service of allowing mostly Mexican nationals to break the strike. New York City will halt California grape purchases pending resolver of the dispute. Local column items follow with Life In Dogs and driving attitudes in a filler section.
