The Negro has a tangible cause segregation. He can demonstrate against it and seek help in courts. The Mexican American, ac cording to Fuentes, is not seg regated.

The cannery workers are not only 100 per cent Latin; they al so are the best-paid workers in ' town, according to Fuentes. And, since they work under outside contract, they cannot be int'mi dated. Fuentes and his boss, Albert Pena Jr., 43, live in San Antonio, 120 miles to the northeast. Pena is a lawyer, a commissioner in Bexar county (San Antonio) and state chairman of PASO. Fuentes and Pena, the father of PASO, see their Crystal City victory as the beginning. Hicy already are organizing an as sault on the county government in Zavala county in next year's primaries. j Seek Negro Aid They also think that PASO can work itself into a coalition with Texas Negroes, union members of all races, and ultra-liberal members of the Democratic par ty. Pena. in an interview, cited these figures: In 1960, there were 900,000 Latins and 850,000 Negroes of voting age in Texas. Pena and Fuentes think Latins and Negroes by themselves could determine who is elected Sim n Jfn next year to state office in Texas and which presidMtici candidate carries Texas if: The Texas poll tax is cut from $1.75 to 25 cents in a spe cial election Nov. 9. Enough conservative Demo crats vote Republican in Texas next year. Pena and Fuentes deny that their aim is to elect Latins to of fice Thev sav thev and PASO support candidates, regardless ot race, wno recognize i u c l.aiin's nroblems and try to do something about them. They noted instances in which they supported Anglos over La tmc IVhiln PASO is not wedded to the Democratic party.

(UPI) Everybody's an Expert West, New York Rabbi Cast Actors In Principal Parts of New Novel Washington -(UPI)- While I thumbing through my files just J I unexpected thrill. I made the acquaintance ot i Anmn neroen iarr, a hew lorn raooi now I came upon a copy of an!who has a nove) i oia speecn oy Under Secre I tary of Agricul ture Charles S. Murphy. Not to seem boastful about it, but I have one of the largest cullec i o n 8 of old speeches by un der secretaries in the western West of agriculture Hemisphere. What attracted me lo Mur- phys speech was his bold as-1 "The Conversion of Chaplain Cohen," And he invited me to help him cast his book. "The main female character is a girl who hates men," Tarr said "I think I'll cast that one myself." "Good," I said. "Whom do you see In the part?" "Elizabeth Taylor," Tarr said. 1 must have had a funny look on my face because Tarr im mediately went jin the defen sive, which is a fatal flaw in a casting director. You will have to admit it sertion that there are two fields I would be a challenging role for I in which virtually all Amerl cans are experts. He listed them as quarterbneking a football team and folving the farm prob lem. , Actually, of course, there are three fields. Murphy neglected to mention that most of us also are expert casting directors. I estimate that I spend ap proximately 25 per cent of my waking hours casting movies and plays. When 1 am asleep, the percentage is even higher. Unexpected Thrill I never read a novel without visualizing certain actors play ing the parts of the main char acters. And this week 1 got an her." he said. "It certainly would,' "And whom were you thinking of for the role of Chaplain Co hen: Pat '"'irien?" Tarr led his fingers. "Wondcrf-.." he exclaimed. "I hadn't thought of him. I had been thinking more in terms of Frank Sinatra." Having settled on the major characters, we buckled down to casting the supporting roles and bit parts. It went harmon iously until we came to the fat girl who in the book attempts to seduce the rabbi. I wan'ed to assign the part to Tuesday Weld, provided she could make the weight but Tarr held out for Imogene Coca. If he insists on being stub born about it, we may have to I said.

Another reason is that, by coincidence, a new lady buyer from his firm will be in France then too. Coinci dental, ever since she began working at the place, my hus band has had numerous "busi ness conferences" at night. In 25 years previously, he never had any. Drew Y. What can I do with a woman whose imagina tion runs wild? Our organiza tion, a dairy business, is start ing to import cheeses. I make two or three trips a year ami this is just a routine flyer. I'd love to take Vi to Europe, but she won't see anything on this run she should wait until I can combine a marketing junk et with my vacation. The whole idea springs from her jealousy. The Council: It's plain that Violet doesn't want to enjoy Kuropc. Her aim is to be sure Drew doesn't do so at least during k business trip. Her in terest is not in touring but in trailing . . . Our advice is that she separate the two urges. Cer tainly she won't do much sight seeing if all she's looking at is Drew. And just as certainly, if he and Career Girl have an as signation on the agenda, they'll I manage It somehow, If not un der Violet s nose then behind i her back. So her first problem boils down to trust. That's some thing to be hashed out on this sitfe ot tie Atlantic.
