advised
does not is a communist
§=-, and-agree with CHAVEZ ideals in helping the underprivileged
ii migrant.iT@ workers, although he does not feel CHAVEZ hasused gor means toattain this goal. in particular,P"'-'; '_ stated that in __April,Tl966,CHAJEZ was instrumen al in'"' org zing a march of members pf the former NFWA andcthers -
from Delano to Sacramento, California. He said the-Delano p_'
City Grdinance requires a parade permit for such activityin Delano, and that CHAVEZ and the NFWA sought no such permit,
but formed the march and paraded from downtown Delano toward' - Sacramento. Fsaid he felt CHAVEZ wanted law
- " enforcement o cials o attempt to break up the parade or
t~~-march, possibly using force, which would be recorded by
-s newsmen and photographnsfrom a wide area, thereby giving
CHAVEZ and the NFWA needed publicity.
. Fstated the people of Delano generally
feel that u s ers who were either recruited or appeared
in Delano voluntarily to assist CHAVEZ have hindered CHAVEZ
goals, especially the long-haired, bearded, beatnik" types
who appeared and who had never had any experience as farm
' workers. He said these types of people, most of whom were
from the University of California? Berkeley, gave the impression
of being an "unstable reactionary type.
_ an _ - _-_-____ - - - _ u L_ llE10 CHAVEZ. and his assistant, R115 nu:.ni¢-.,
have creat also picture of living conditions of migrant
H; farm workers in the Delano area and have rendered a dis-
service to the people of the area. He said these people have
e a better standard of living than migrant workers in other
L parts of the country. .
said CHAVEZ must have at least average2 ability a s p qualities or else he could not have
created the following he now enjoys. He said CHAVEZ is a very
controversial figure in the Delano area and is not well liked
- w by citizens generally and grape growers in particular, sincehe ordered a strike against the growers in the Fall, 1965.

June 30, 196 , by the Sheriff's Office, San Diego,
California, for which no disposition is shown, it is to
be noted that an article appeared in the "Los AngelesTimes", a newspapeg6published at Los Angeles, California,on September 8, 19 , which disclosed that CESAR CHAVEZ
and two ministers were fined $526.00 each and placed on
two years probation for treapassing on the Diiorgio
Corporation property at Borrego Springs, California.
article pointed out that Justice Court Judge WILL L.
STALNAKER suspended $250.00 of the fines for CHAVEZ, who
is head of the HFWA and the ministers, Rever WAYNE
HARTHIBE of Los Angeles, and_RevegsgglVIC@9§,SALANDI§I of. Esco_n_¢_i_ido,_California. The -article pointed o¬£ that the
three had been convicted of trespassing on the property
on June 29, 1966, and that eight laborers who were
co-defendants were acquitted. The article stated the
trespass had followed a DiGiorgio Corporation representation
election in which the Teamsters Union had won out over

While the specific nature of the appointment under

Discussion ,UN'I..I1~aiirID,_ INCL-_
Records of the Division of Corporations, California
State Department of Investments, Los Angeles, California,
indicate that Discussion Unlimited filed its Articles of
Incorporation as a nonprofit corporation, with the Secretary
of State, Sacramento, California, on or about June 4, 1963,
noting its principal site of office as Los Angeles County,
California. The aims and purposes of the organization, aslisted in the Articles of Incorporation, are "...to promote
full and open discussion on our society and problems.
A source advised on May 8, 1963, that Discussion
Unlimited, Inc. actually was originated in Les Angeles,
California, in May, 1962, and was composed largely of a number
of present and former Comunist Party members who_assist in
staging panel forums and in promoting such events. Criginal
coordinator of the group was BERNARD LUSHER, who in 1961,
was educational director of the Southern California District
Communist Party.
This source was recontacted on April 9, 1965, and
indicated that the basic concept of Discussion Unlimited, Inc.
has not changed. It continues to present "left ideas" to at
least partially non-comitted audiences. It proposes to
develop special activities around various issues on an irregular
basis. It is not a membership organization, and does not hold
regular meetings as such, but rather is strictly a forum-type
organization.
On May 10, 1966, another source reported that
Discussion Unlimited, Inc. continues to operate as a forum-
type organization.

On April 23, l96H, a source advised that the W.E.B.
Du Bois Club of West Los Angeles, was organized by RUTHGEEENBAUM with the assistance of MARVIN TREIGER in February,

of April, 1964, RUTH GREENBAUM was a member of the Southern
California District Comunist Party SCDCP! and that MARVIN
TREIGER was chairman of the Youth Commission, SCDCP.
_- The first source above stated that the Du Bois
Club was organized mainly to meet the needs of Marxist-
adentated students at the University of California at Los
Angeles UCLA!, but that the club eventually hoped to spread
its influence into other areas in West Los Angeles.
A third source advised on March 12, 196%, that at '
a Communist Party cs! meeting held in Los Angeles, in February,
1964, BEN DOBBS, Executive Secretary of the SCDCP, spoke on
' the CP youth movement and stated that the Du Bois Club was
one of two youth groups operating in the Los Angeles area,
both groups were Marxistorientated and that members con-
sidered themselves Marxist.
A fourth source advised on March 25, 1965, that
since its inception, the activities of the Du Bois Club
have been mainly limited to participation in protests against
alleged racial discrimination, participation in Marxist classes,
participation in conferences which led to the creation of the
9 H.E.B. Du Bois Clubs of America in the summer of 196# and parti-
cipation in demonstrations protesting U.S. intervention in Viet Nam
This source advised that the W,E.B. Du Bois Club of West Los
Angeles is now affiliated with the W.E.B. Du Bois Clubs of
America and is operating as a chapter of that organization.O.
