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.
Traffic: The California
Highway Patrol predicted
that Christmas and New Years
holiday traffic will kill more
persons this year than it did
last year. Patrolman estimat
ed that 82 persons would die
during the holiday weekends:
51 at Christmas and 31 New
Years. Last year, there were

ty juvenile facilities, said the

Segregation: Stanley H.
Hosk, Attorney General of
California, asked the presi
dent of Humboldt Slate col
lege for a report on charges
that Negro members of the
school's team were segregated
from the rest of the squad
while in Florida. The Lumber
jacks were defeated by Le-noir-Rhyne,
15-14, in the Holi
day Bowl at St. Petersburg on
Dec. 10. During the stay in the
Florida city, five Negro mem
bers of the squad stayed in
private homes while the rest
of Ihe team was quartered at
a hotel.
Arreit: The arrest of a
stocky grocery clerk complete
ly broke the kidnap ring that
abducted wealthy sportsman
businessman Anthony Alessio
last month, law officers said
in San Diego. Sixth suspect to
be arrested was Leroy Thom
as Gavigan, 26, of South Gate,
a suburb of Los Angeles. None
of the $17,485 saill missing
