In New Orleans auxiliary bishop Patrick F. Flores urged the church to address Mexican American poverty and injustices or risk losing adherents. He proposed education for non Spanish clergy, lay leadership, job retraining for farm workers, support for La Raza and Padres, a national Mexican American seminary, studies center, and voter registration drives. In Gallup, Joe Tanner offered 1000 reward for stolen jewelry worth 20000 to 30000 from his Indian Arts shop.
