Little guy with chili
quite a swath
The little guy with the
accent and an eye for a well-turned
tinkle was known ns one of the charac
ters around the state capital.
He dressed well, spoke with convic
tion and made a strong case for the
migrant workers flooding into Oregon
from Mexico and points south. For a
time, lie was the darling of the Oregon
State Department of Labor.
; He managed to distress a lot of
farmers because he accused them of all
kinds of skulduggery In the use of
migrant labor. Some of the legislation
ho suggested, reviewed by the State
Labor Commission and Individual legis
lators, became law. Some of it was even
worthwhile.
He became a somewhat contra
rersial figure and suddenly his star
faded. He was cased out of his job in
tlic Department of Labor, much to the
I'ellef of Oregon's farmers, and he drop

Now be has turned up again. But

Of Labor. Now he is Marcantonia Diaz

ican revolutionary plan.
It has also become known that
Infante has a substantial police record
of years standing in the United States,
among other things.
Little wonder then that there are
some red faces in Oregon's capital.

Humor from others
One day, on the street floor of a
New York office building, comedian
Fred Allen was in a crowded elevator,
vailing to go up.
A middle-aged couple approached

reau Federation, an organization which
violently opposed Infante's early
migrant labor studies, wonder, in a sort
of "I told you so" manner, who hired
this self-styled revolutionist."
State Labor Commissioner Norman
O. Nilsen, who was Infante's boss, pass
ed the buck to the State Civil Service
Commission. He also said that Infante
had been a good employe. The Civil
Service people are groping around try
ing to find out why Infante was hired
too.
Gov. Mark Hatfield, who wasn't
governor when Infante was employed,
has asked that Civil Service hiring pro
cedures bo reviewed. It is pretty ob
vious that the affair hasn't ended yet.
Nilsen and Civil Service officials have
been managing to play a pretty good
game of "you take him, I don't want
him" this past week.
It turns out that one of the reasons
Infante was eased out of his job with
the Labor Department was because he
went underground in an attempt to
become a labor broker, furnishing con
tract Mexican labor to Oregon's sugar
beet growers. There were probably
other reasons.
The best story we've read concerns
the Portland newsman, who spent about
$1,(X)0 of his own money partying with
Infante on t he supposition that the
newsman would get $1150,000 from Fidel
Castro to use flacking for Castro's

WASHINGTON - Shades of
Sherman Adams must be hover
ing over the Federal Communi
cations Commission. The big Re
publican news combine in Boston,
'.lie Herald and Traveler, is about
to get from the Democrats what
it couldn't get f.'om the Elsen
hawer administration TV Chan
nel 5, valued at around $20,000,-000.
It was the attention of Die Har
ris Committee, focused first on
lobbying by publisher Bob Choate
of the Boston Herald and Travel
er, which led to further disclo
sures of Sherman Adams' wire
pulling for Bernard Goldfine.
What happened was that when
a career FCC examiner, Col.
James Cunningham, recommend
ed against any TV outlet for the
Herald and Traveler, publisher
Choate hotfooted It down to Wash
ington to buttonhole such stanch
and powerful Republicans as Sec
retary of Commerce Sinclair
Weeks, Sen. Leverett Saltonstall
of Boston and Lon Hall, chairman
of tlie Republican National Com
mittee. Suddenly the FCC reversed its
examiner, handed the choice TV
channel to the big GOP news
combine, which already had a ra
dio station and is dominated by
the First National Bank of Boston
and United Shoe Machinery.
Later it was revealed that
Choate had threatened to use the
new TV channel to drive its com
petitor. The Bosten Globe, out of
business. Davis Taylor of the
Globe swore in an affidavit that
Choate had tried to buy the Globe,
and when Taylor refused had
threatened "to use his newspaper,
radio slat ion, and television sta
tion to injure the Globe.
"If I cet Channel S I may drive
I vou out of business," Choate
threatened Globe treasurer John
Tavlor, according to another affi
davit. The Glolie's advertising direc
tor. John F. Reid. told of still
another conversation with Choate
at a Clover Club reception at
which Choate asked: "When are
you coming to work for the Her
ald Traveler?"
When Reid said he was satis
fied with his job. Choate retort
ed: "Wait until we get our TV
station and see what happens."
U.S. Court Reveries
The wire pulling of publisher
Choate plus his monopoly intent
were so flagrant that the U.S.
Court of Appeals set aside the
FCC award to the Herald and
Traveler on the grounds that U
was obtained through wire-pulling.
And the Harris Committee, hav
ing dug Into one phase of New
England lobbying, was then fore-1
cd to dig into the Sherman
Adams operations.
Today the question of Channel
5 Is bark with the Federal Com
munications Commission. And be
lieve it or not. the FCC is about
to repeat itself and hand this
choice communications plum right
back to the same Herald and Tra
veler. Chairman Minow is vigor
ously opposed, and Commission
el's Bartley and Craven are ab
staining.
But the following commission
ers are reported lining up for the
Republican big business monop
oly: Rosel Hyde, who is about to
retire; Robert E. Lee. the old
friend of Son. Joe McCarthy:
Frederick Ford, Eisenhower's for
mer chairman: John Cross, Con
gressman Harris's appointee to
the commission.
This is a day when the nation
is more and more concerned
about the trend toward newspa
per monopolies, and when the
Herald and Traveler is still dom
inated hy the First National Bank
and United Shoe Machinery.
But that seems to make no dif
ference to the FCC. though it's
charged with protecting Uie pub
lic's freedom of communications.

Gromyko ends
talks with Tito
BELGRADE, Yugoslavia (UPD
Russia and Yugoslavia issued a
joint communique today saying
they agreed on basic international
policy, including the need for
peaceful coexistence between East
and West.
The communique was issued
while Soviet Foreign Minister An
drei Gromyko flew back to Mos
cow to report to Premier Nikita
Khrushchev on his five-day visit
and talks with President Tito and
other Yugoslav leaders.
According to the official Yugo
slav news agency Tanjug, the
communique issued jointly by Gro
myko and Yugoslav Foreign Min
ister Koca Popovic said: "In dis
cussing the International situation,
the identity or similarity of views
on fundamental International ques
tions has been reaffirmed.
The common conviction also
has been reaffirmed that the con
sistent policy of peaceful coexis
tence and of the settlement of in
ternational problems through ne
gotiations is the surest way for
the relaxing and overcoming of
international tension and for the
stabilization of the world peace."
Gromyko was the first major
Soviet official to visit Yugoslavia
in recent years. Tito broke with
the Kremlin in 1948 because of
his brand of "national commu
nism." (In London, observers said the
communique was significant be
cause of tho solidarity it showed j
in Moscow's and Belgrade's public
views which have contrasted with
those of the Communist Chinese
who oppose Moscow's "soft" ide
ological peaceful coexistence pol
icy with the West.)
