The Week in California Plan To Organize Farm Help Slows; Ho Funds By United Press International Preliminary plans to organ ize farm workers in southern California curtailed because of a lack of funds in the na tional AFL-CIO treasury, a California farm labor leader reported. Norman Smith, director of the AFL-CIO Agricultural Workers Organizing commit tee, revealed shortly before testifying at a State Senate committee hearing that na tional AFL-CIO officials had cut funds he planned to use this winter. 'They think we have four feet of snow out here," Smith said. "But I still have 50 per cent more money, than I had last winter." He did not dis close the size of the cut. Smith claimed, however, that he would have enough funds for his continuing main drive in the Central vally. He said the cut was made to be sure there would be' enough money for next summer's or ganizing activities. Will Hurt Plans Smith said the reduction would hurt his plans to send organizers into farming areas around Ventura and Oxnard and into the Imperial valley this winter, but he added the setback would not be serious. The director said the AWOC still had $150,000 for the year, compared to $100, 000 last year. He said AWOC worked this summer during the peak harvest "at the rate of $400,000 to $500,000." "We made far more head way this year at less suffering to the people we represent than has ever been done be-, fore," Smith said. 'He said the AFL-CIO cuts were caused by presidential pnsls that were higher than expected "we thought we'd win in a landslide" and by current unemployment throughout the nation and an accompanying drop in union revenue. Funds this year came from a two-cents per month assessment on all union worn- ers during the first six months 35 Christmas fatalities and 24 of the year. Less Men Smith said he still planned to send advance men into Southern California, but on a limited basis. Later, Smith told the Sen ate committee on Labor and Welfare that farmers were guilty of "closing all normal channels of settling differ ences" with farm workers. He said "strikes play a very small part of mature labor-management relations" but were nec essary because farmers re fused to negotiate. Thomas: Baritone John Charles Thomas, a onetime medical . student who became one of the world's best known opera stars, died of cancer at his home in Apple valley. He was 69. At his bedside was his wife, Dorothy. The death was not altogether unexpected since the powerful-voiced op era star had been ill for two years 'with cancer.
