NFWA! also joined this strike, which then brought the Mexican

strike was supposedly to increase the wages of the grape
pickers. Actually, there are very few farm workers on .
strike at this time and, in fact, even with the strike,
more grapes have been shipped from Kern and Tulare Counties
this year than in 1963. At the peak of the strike, during
the end of September, 1965, he estimated that only about 800
farm workers at most, out of about 5000 workers, were actually
on strike in the immediate Delano and adjoining Tulare
County area. At the beginning of the strike, persons on

the picket lines were local farm workers, however, at this
time most of the individuals on picket lines are persons
from outside of Kern and Tulare Counties, and are carrying
on the picket for higher wages for the farm workers even
though they are not themselves farm workers.
The only disturbance of importance occurred on
9/25/65 at which time approximately 20 to 30 young Filipinos
went to the Missakian Ranch, MacFarland, California, ordered
a crew from a grape field, assaulted the foreman, assaulted
several Filipino workers, and tipped over boxes of grapes
on the ground. The group responsible for this act were
Filipino hoodlums from san Francisco, California, but
they were never criminally charged because of the lack of
identification by witnesses.
NFWA is a local independent union, which has only
reportedly been affiliated with the AFLPCIO since September,
1965. This affiliation is allegedly only for the purpose
of supporting the present Delano-Tulare County strike.
NFWA was formed possibly five years ago and at least sinceJanuary, 1963, and its actual purp3;eis not known to him.
- gssan E}/CHAVEZ, a male Mexican, born 1/31/27,
possibly a Delano, 5/3", 135 pounds, straight black hair,
brown eyes, dark complexion, is the founder and Directorof NFW§, with headguarters at 102 Albany street, Delano,telephone dumber 8 61. CHAVEZ resides at 1221 Kensington
street, Delano, and also can be contacted at his brother's
home, RICHARD,CHAVEZ, a building inspector in_Tulare County,
California, who resides at 630 Belmont, Delano, telephone
number 3036, The NFUA is active in Delano and Tulare
County, but he has no idea of their membership total.
. C%AVEZ spent about lk years in San Jose, California,
prior to 19 3, as a recruiter for the Community Service
Organizatio CSO! at San Jose. CSO is a "war on poverty"type organigation. Prior to his lh years with CSO, CHAVEZ
was with the same organization in Los Angeles and San
Diego, California. Since January, 1963, CHAVEZ has resided
in Delano. J

CHAVEZ refuses to answer any questionnaires directed
to him by Credit Bureaus or similar organizations. He has
openly been called a communist at Delano City Councilmeetings; however, oes not possess any
definite informatio s rgard. He does believe
that CHAVEZ associates with "left wing" type individuals
and is known to distribute the "People's world" from his
office at Delano, free of charge. "CHAVEZ publishes and _
sells a paper called "El Malcriado", described as the '
voice of the farm worker, and the official voice of the
NFHA. This paper sells for 10¢ a copy. subscriptions to
this paper can be mailed to P.O. Box 894, Delano. The
front page or the "People's World" during the week of
1Q/3-9/65 carried a reprint of a photograph appearing in
issue Number 21 or the "El Malcriado", which photograph is
of DOLORES HUERTA who will be discussed further! holdinga sign that spates, "Huelga" spanish word for strike!.
SANKUSHNER of the "People's world", residence
lhh South Bonnie Brae, Los Angeles, was in Delano during
the week of 1Q/3-9/65 for approximately three days, and
spent a considerable amount of time with NFWA officials.
Numerous outsiders from san Francisco, California, Berkeley,
California, and Dos Angeles, who are alleged members of
the Student Non-Violating Coordinating Committee and the
congress on Racial Equality have periodically appeared

is involved in this strike at Delano as an agitator, is
only out to make money for himself, and is not fighting fer
any particular cause. MANUEL is also known to be "anti-

be used as salaries and training 31 indigent migrant farm
workers or Mexican-American ancestry for 60 days so that
these trainees could teach other indigent farm workers
citizenship, money management, the functions of governmental
agencies and how to deal with these agencies. In addition,
two of these 31 trainees would suppo sedly be further trained
by being sent to an out-of-state college. when this grant

During May and June, 1965, he became interested
in DAVID WARD HAVENS and CESAR CHAVEZ because he had heard
that these two individuals, and others, were attempting to
instigate a farm workers strike in Arvin, California, while
these two persons were actually residing in Delano. The
proposed strike in Arvin was not successful. He was mainly
interested in whether or not CHAVEZ and HAVENS were suspected
of being associated with any subversive organizations or '
individuals. He does not know of any actual subversive

He is not aware of any subversive activities on
the part of GINES, ITLIONG, MANUEL, TANSI or HUERTA.
NFWA is lead by CHAVEZ, and the purpose of this L//I
organization is 5UppO~SEdlY to improve the wages and living
conditions of the migrant farm worker in Kern and Tulare
Counties. NFWA claims they are an independent organization
with offices at 102 Albany Street, Delano. He has no
idea of the total membership of this organization. CHAVEZ
rents the building at 102 Albany and also sells automobile
tires and oil under the name Farm workers Co-op, at this
address. CHAVEZ has recently been cited for not having a
business license, and is due to appear in the Delano Justice
Court in the near future to show cause why he should not
be penalized for operating a business without having a city
license.
CHKVEZ has reportedly stated that he desires to
open general stores in the San Joaquin Valley to sell "all
commodities" to farm workers at discount prices and to,
therefore, create a boycott of local businesses. At this
point, CHAVEZ has only the tire.and oil store mentioned
above. CHAVEZ has also mentioned starting a Credit Union
for farm workers who are members of the NFHA, however, he
could furnish no additional information concerning this
Credit Union or concerning the NFWA.
His own opinion is the. CHAVEZ is not altogether
sincere in his desire to assist migrant workers, but is
solely interested in making a name for himself and to gain
financially. The $267,887.00 grant approved by OED for
NFHA by the Federal Government has arroused considerable
public opinion against making such
is that CHAVEZ is not qualified to

The following information was obtained from sources
who have furnished reliable information in the past, unless
otherwise indicated:
The October 2, 1965, "People's World" PW! news- V
paper, page 1, contains an article captioned, "Eyewitness
Account of Big Farm Strike," and contains a photograph of
Dolores Huerta of the Farm Workers Association FHA! holding
a sign, "Huelga," which according to the caption, means strikein Spanish. The photograph is identified as a Harvey Richards //
photo. The article states that the strike in the vineyards of
the Delano-Earlimart area started September 8 with pay raise
demands by the AFL-CIO, Agricultural Workers Organizing Commit-
tee, who were Joined ten days later by the National Farm
Workers Association. The article quoted &nFWA organizer as
stating, "Cesar Chavez leader of the FHA! was roughed up by
some farmers while the police stood by and watched and only
moved in when they knocked him to the ground..-." This
article identifies Larry Itliong as the Director of the
Agricultural Workers Organizing Comittee AWOC! and states
Itliong said that union recognition was the biggest block to
settlement.
The PW is a West Coast communist newspaper.
The October 9, 1965, PW, pages l and H, contained

that FWA Director Cesar Chavez stated that the AHOC and
FHA are demanding that the growers sign an agreement to
recognize the unions as the organizations representing
the workers.
Another article datelined Delano and captioned,
"Labor Rallies to Farm Strike," reflected ihat the strikers
were receiving food and money from other labor organizations.
This article also stated labor support ass not the only support
being received and that "high priority was given the civil
rights workers from San Francisco and Los Angeles who have come
to this city, and surrounding area, to assist the strikers.
In the hall, one could see persons wearing Student Non-Violent
Coordination Committee SNCC! and Congress of Racial Equality
CORE! buttons. They were he1ping'to provide the manpowerto keep the strike machinery going. The ri e strike hasbecome a focal point of concentration for gmoting democratic
rights in the state."
A second source advised in October, 1965, that Sam
Kushner, Los Angeles editor of the PW newspaper, stated that
he had given 100 papers and $50 to the FWA strike. Kushner
indicated that the big story in Los Angeles is the Delano
strike, and he said that he got some pictures there which were
to be used in the PW. According to Kushner, in the coming
week, one Cesar was going to take him out on the picket line
and spend the morning with him. This source advised that on
October ?, 1965, Kushner attempted to get in touch with Cesar
Chavez of Delano.
A fourth source advised on August 27, 1955, that
the sixth annual State Convention of the Mexican-AmericanPolitical Association éuara! was held at Fresno, California,
July 23, 2H and 25, 19 5, and that the FHA picketed the con-

The hay Q, 1952, issue of "Labor Action", then an c_fl "
-publication of the Workers Party WP!, carried an article which
reflected that the HP was formed in April l9k0, as a result
of a split within the leadership of the Socialist workers Party SW?!
The article stated that when the Hitler-Stalin Pact was signed and
Poland invaded, the minority group within the SUP, in proclaiming
the formation sf the WP, condemned the pact es being imperialietic
in nature and stated it would not support either imperialist camp.
The April 35, 1939, issue cg "Labor Action" contained
an account of the Fifth National Convention of the HP, held March
24-27, 19b9, in New York Gity, which reflected the change of name
of the organization from the WP to the Independent Socialist League
ISL! in order to emphasize the character of the group as a
propaganda group for the spreading of socialist ideas and not as a
full-fledged political party.
The July lll, 1958, issue of "Labor Action", an official
publication of the ISL, contained an article captioned "The ISL
Program in Brief." The article indicated: The ISL stands for
socialist democracy and against the two systems of exploitation
which now divide the world: capitalism and Stalinism. The ISL,
as a Marxist movement, looks to the working class and its ever-presen
struggle as the basic progressive force in society. The ISL is
organized to spread the ideas of socialism_ih the labor movement and
among all other sections of the people- qpoze can be no lasting and
genuine democracy without socialism and there can be no socialism
without democracy."
The September 22, 1958, issue of "Iabor Aztion" contained
an undated statement signed hy the Poliiical Committee of the ISL
which indicated that the ISL had been_dissolved. The statement
urged former ISL members to Join the Socialist Party - Social
Democratic Federation.
The SWP has been designated by Ci Attorney General
pursuant to Executive Order l0N50.
A source advised on May 21, 1958, that the San Francisco
Bay Area Branch, Independent Socialist League, was an adjunct of the
Rational Organization. The Bench had representation on the National
Committee of the Independent Socialist League; it participated in
the Campaigns Of the Independent Socialist League, and contributed
financially to the support or the Rational Organization.
The source advised on August ll, 1958, that the San
Francisco Bay Area Branch, Independent Socialist League, had
dissolved itself and the members had joined the Local Bench of the-
Socialist Party - Social Democratic Federation.

CONF IAL
COMMUNIST INFILTRATION OF THE

:1 _A DELANO; QlL;EORH¥A4*
A source advised as follows on January ll, 1966:
Since the October, 1965, mass arrests of pickets in
the Delano, California, area by the Kern County Sheriff's Office,
there have been no disturbances of importance.
On the average there are approximately 40 pickets
active in the Delano and adjoining Tulare County, California,
area at the present time, during working hours in the vicinity
of various farms in those areas. These pickets at time
appeared to be attempting to provoke the farm workers in
the fields through harassment into attacking them; however,
no incidents have occurred to date. Source does not feel that
the union organizers and pickets have the best interest
of the farm workers at heart, but are merely "dead beats" and
"trouble makers". Sixty three civic and church organizations
have protested the actions of the Hational Farm workers Asso-
ciation NFHA!, but NFWA seems to issue only ultimatums rather
than make any reasonable attempts to resolve the problems that
exist between the farm owners and the union, or to reach any
solution to the problem at hand. with this in mind, source
feels it is possible that fights could erupt between farm workersin the fields and pickets at any time in the future. ///
There appears to be no possibility of an end to the
strike in the near future, and no agreements are foreseeable
between RFHA and.the growers. The future will bring mass
picketing of all agricultural areas in the San Joaquin Valley
and other California farm locations, in the opinion of the
source. .

As of December l, 1965, Dolores Huerta, NFWA Vice
President, was in Los Angeles, California, attempting to
set up an HFWA office there. It is also believed that she
is,and will be in the future instrumental in organizing boy-
cotts of grapes, grape products, and labor recruiting in
California, and possibly other agricultural leealities in
nearby states. . -
./'On December 16 1965, Halter-P. Reuther, Head ofthe United Auto Workers um!, AFL-CIO, met with officials
of NFWA and the Agricultural Workers Organizing Committee
AWOC! at Delano, California, and spoke before a group of
approximately 500 farm workers. Reuther advised the growers
and workers to solve their dispute at the earliest possible
date. He said an injustice was being done the farm workers
in the grape vineyards, and pledged UAW support in the amount
of $5,000 per month for as 1Ong as it takes to assist the
farm workers in organizing, adding that $10,000 would be
donated for the month of December, 1965. with this support
he feels that the NFWA and AHOC will be able to continue the
Delano strike indefinitely.
~ ?i . 9 qhe two main leaders of the NFWA areWendy 0oepel,n:2oresides at Box 242, Three Rivers, California,
and James Lyn ,rake, a shite male, born December 25, 193?,who resides 6? 1549 West Olive, Porterville, California, and
who is supposedly a minister of the Congregational Church,
30663 Road 64, Visalia, California. Drake has been a member
of the Migrant Ministry since 1962, and assisted Cesan'Chavez,I
NFWA Director, in setting up the NWA. ,
Harvey-Richards, who resides at 10 Flood Circle,
Atherton, California, and who drives a 1965 Oldsmobile station
wagon, California license 875763, is reportedly a reporter for
the "feopleis world" FW!._ Richards appeared in Delano during J
the last part of September, 1965, or the first part of October, ,
J 1955» for approximately four days, taking photographs of the
Delano strikers, but has not been seen since._ Richards is the-
photographer who took the photograph of Dolores Huerta that , -
appeared in the October 2, 1965, issue of the PW. Source does not
know whether Richards came to Delano on specific request or
merely appeared there as s reporter.

The PW is a west Coast
communist nwspaper.
Attempted boycotts of grapes and grape products are
being made in various parts of California at the present time,
and in some instances have been successful. lhese boycotts
have also extended to other states as tar away as New York,
New York, Washington, D.C., and Chicago, Illinois. Some of
the organizations participating in boycott activity are the
Student Hon Violent Coordinating Committee, the Congress on?ggéa1 Equality, and the Students for a Democratic Society
In respect to SDS, it is noted that the
Preamble of the SDS Constitution states
"Students for a Democratic Society is an
association of young people on the left...;
one bringing together liberals and radi-
cals, activists and scholars, students and
faculty. It feels the urgency to put
forth a radical, dembcratic program coun-
terposed to authoritshm»movements both
of Commnism and the domestic Right."
During the 1965 National Convention of the
SDS, the Preamble of the Constitution was
amended to eliminate "counterposed to
authoritarian movements both of Communism
and the domestic Right." The SDS is
opposed to present American foreign policy
in Vietnam
Although Cesandghatez, NFWA Director, has stated that
grape production was down 30$ and that growers are looking
more and more for "scabs", the fact is that the 1965 grape
crop exceeded all past records, and was harvested without any
major labor problems. However, the "El Malcriado", official
publication of the NFWA, continued to claim during the harvest
season that grapes were turning to raisins on the vines. "

A source advised on March 25, 1955, that during
the period January through March, 1962, a series or formation
meetinns ta Qsfahliqh A "Qnni 1#n+ V +h no nivafinn " unq ------u v -=- w'---'--'--- i.e~.--.-...8-...-.--.- .9-is-.. g; Daloauqha in-wanj -u--iv
held in the Los Angeles area. LEONARD POTASH was acting
chairman in charge of the group and PAUL RCSENSTEIN and
FRANKLIN ALEXANEER were named to a provisional committee to
help organize the new group. On April 3, 1952, the group
officially selected the name of Los Angeles Youth for Peace
and Socialism, LAYFS!, and elected officers.
A second source advised that PCTASH, ROSENSTEIN,
and ALEXANDER as of 1963 were all members of the Southern
California District Communist Party senor!.
A third source advised on May 12, 196b, that the
LAYPS was organized with the full knowledge and assistance
cf DOROTHY HELEY, chairman of the SCDCP and that several
Communist Party CP! members had been approved by HEALEY to
teach Marxist theory to members of the LAYPS. This source
further advised that the LAYPS was to be a Marxist study and
action group and that the teachings of KARL MARX were to
be followed. Source also advised that although the alleged
purpose of the group was to promote "Socialism" in the United
States, the group considered themselves to be "Communist
Party Orientated" and were anxious to study the brand of
Marxism associated with the CPUSA.
The first source above further advised that in
June, 1963, L£YPS changed the name of the organization to
Youth Action Union YAU! for two reasons: The first being
that it was felt that LAYP§ had gained a bad reputation
because of its association with CP groups, the second because
it was felt the word "Socialism" in the title was driving
away possible recruits. '
The first elected chairman of the LAYPS and YAU
who continued in this position until early 196k, was MARVIN
TREIGER, who as of April, 196%, was chairman of the Youth
Commission, SCDCP. Since the organization's inception, key
officers have been members of the CP.

/
ISource 1, it was E opinion that CORE would support
such a project, bu ou ed if the organization would
actually organize and direct the march as CORE did not
' feel the Negro people were too involved in such a project
since most of the farm workers and grapevineyard tenders
were either Mexican-American or Orientals. , .92
I
Source 2 advised a meeting of
Southern California District
was in Los Angeles on the evenin ofr the meeting, a
Soythern r
rie y discussed
the fact that'plans were under consideration for a march
from Delano, California, to Sacramento, California, a .
distance of some 300 miles, in support of the Delano grapestrike. H pointed out that the "Kennedy Senate Committee" U. S. Se ate ubcommittee on Migratory Farm Labor chaired by
Senator Harrison A. Williams, Jr., and including Senators
Robert Kennedy, Edward Kenned and George Murphy! will hold: hearings in Delano on March 16, 1966. According to Q - it was suggested the march be held after the Senate o. tee _
hearings and to possibl be ' on Sunday, April 3 1966 or9- Monday, April .11, 1966. g suggested the march could be _
started any time after pri , 19 6, which was the start
of the Easter vacation, and, in this way CORE, the Student
Non-Violent Coordinating Committee SNCC , and all the
students could Join in the march. noted the real
question facing the proposed march e fact that Governor
Edmond G. "Pat Brown, Governor of State of California, was
attempting to put pressure on the "Kennedy Senate Committee"
hearings not to go to Delano because it might be conducive
to starting a riot, and if the "Kennedy Senate Committee"
did go to Delano, it would hurt the Governor's chances duringthe California State Primary on June 7, 1966. mtat'ed
Brown was against the march and was making every et to
,muster his forces to stop the march since he felt it wasiplanned for a very poor time. g reported that James _r;Hoffa_would possibly be in the geles area and effortsI , wodld be made to have Hoffa participate in the march in some

Sources did not know whether Richards came to the Delano area, to cover the
strike at the specic request of individuals connected with the National Farm
Workers Association or merely was their as a reporter.
It was reported in November, 1965, t.hat a member
oi the Central Du Bois Club of Los Angeles, had been in the elano, California,
area in connection with obtaining aid for the striking farmers. She wasaccompanied by W who has also been identied as a member of
the Central Du B015 ub o os Angeles. This Club reportedly has made a.
concerted effort to collect food and clothing for the striking farm workers.
It is apparent that there is considerable communist interest in this iarm
workers strike, but it appears that, at present, the actual communist inuence

numbers of students to Delano during the summer of 1966 to assist
,the NFHA in their cause.
In respect to SDS, it is noted that the Preamble
of the SDS Constitution states "Students for a
Democratic Society is an association of young
people on the left...; one bringing together
liberals and radicals, activists and scholars
to put forth a radical, democratic program
counterposed to authoritarian movements both
of Communism and the domestic Right."

W. E. B. DU BOIS CLO OF SAN FRANCISCO
aka Du Bols Youth Group, San Francisco
Du Bois Club, San Francisco Du Bois
_¥9uth Group, S§ud§n§;L§§9r_Alliance_
A source advised that on January 31, 1963. the
W. E. B. Du Bois Club of San Francisco held its first general
meeting at~California Hall, Polk and Turk Streets, San Francisco,
Californiat The aims of the Club-were put forth as follows:
- ! alleviate the Negro problem in the U.S.
J!2! promote peaceful co-existence between the U.S.
. and Russia
! promote and encourage Marxist doctrines and to
bring about a socialistic government in the U.S.
This organization publishes a newsletter entitled,
"San Francisco News & World Report". In its first issue, dated
March 3, 1963, there was set forth a "Proposed Statement of
Principles in which the aforementioned aims were elaborated
UPQR -
In this same issue of the "San Francisco News & World
Report, the lead editorial in part describes the H. E. B. Du
Bois Club of San Francisco as "...a group of young people who
are convinced that Socialism is the only answer to the many
problems of our time and so find philosophical rapport with
the life and thought of Dr. Du Bois, nevertheless we are
weighted with humility in comparing our goals and ambitions
with the genius of his life and work. As a source is inspiration
the figure of W. E. B. Du Bois is unequaled in American history,
but as a standard and example, we seem miserably lost in his shadow
We can only resolve that we do his name no dishonor, and whatever
we may accomplish should be recognized as a supplement to his
life work."
The November 25, 1961, issue of the "People's World",
a west coast communist newspaper published weekly in San Francisco,
California, contains an article on page 12 reflecting that
N. E. B. Du Bois Joined the Communist Party after applying for
admission on October 1, 1961.
