He cites daily cross-border workers, Bracero remnants, and low wages 25 to 40 cents, noting green card holders’ limits during strikes and a Kern County deportation spike. He stresses union resolve and wage gains on nonunion farms.

Lawmakers clash over spending bill and veto prospects
At the Rules Committee hearing Rep. H Allen Smith warned the Senate may not pass the Appropriations Committee bill and questioned President approval. Rep. George Mahon said a Senate pass with limits and a signing by the President are likely due to emergency financing needs. Mahon noted opposition from administration centers on a 5 percent cut in executive branch jobs aimed at saving about 900 million dollars. He cautioned the overall budget reductions could total 3 to 3.5 billion if the Senate agrees. Separately the House Armed Services Committee backed a three stage military pay raise estimated at 400 million dollars for the first year, potentially reaching 2.7 billion later.

The pace is described as slow and sporty by American officials, with many hamlets easier to handle but risk of future Viet Cong countermeasures warning of tougher villages ahead.
