UMT Program Hurdles Slow Start Despite Approval
Senate action clears the way for the universal military training plan but delays its start. Five UMT commissioners must be named, a detailed operating plan approved, and funding secured. The program’s scope, duration, and draft linkage depend on Congress, with costs estimated up to 4.0 billion annually and a seven and a half year liability window for participants.

California Has New Crop Of Wetbacks
California harvests a new crop in the Imperial Valley as Mexican border jumpers, called wetbacks, arrive with little more than wet clothes. AFL unions push for higher wages and have begun detaining workers and contacting immigration authorities. The labor dispute, coupled with a likely 10 year felony for employing illegal aliens, draws national political attention as border patrols increase activity in the region.

Hasiwar presses for union control amid border labor strife
The farm union leader Hasiwar seeks recognition as bargaining agent for striking workers in the valley. About 300 workers have been sent back to the patrol eye and other migrants face wage demands and deportation. Talk centers on raising wages to a dollar an hour plus 25 cents per crate, with 60 cents hourly base in the interim. Border control, charter flights, and cross-border labor movements loom large as U.S. and Mexico negotiate contract worker terms.
