Mexican - American Movement Growing
EDITOR’S NOTE — While Negro demonstrations occur in other states, a Latin-American movement for political and economic advancement gathers strength in Texas. It is PASO, the Political Association of Spanish-Speaking Organizations. PASO has directed the takeover of one city’s government in Texas. It looks on this as a start. PASO (First Os Two) By PRESTON MCGRAW United Press International CRYSTAL CITY, Tex. '(UPI) — The way Albert Fuentes Jr. sees it, the Mexican-American is worse off than the Negro in Texas and other southwestern states. The Negro has a tangible cause — segregation. He can demonstrate against it and seek help in courts. The Mexican-American, according to Fuentes, is not segregated. He can go anywhere, and everywhere he finds himself tolerated but not accepted. Tolerance, but not acceptance, crushes the spirit as much as outright segregation, Fuentes feels. Fuentes, 33, is state executive secretary of the Political Association of Spanish-Speaking Organizations (PASO). PASO is growing rapidly. Fuentes said it is organized in more than 50 Texas counties, part of which have more Mexican-Ameri-cans of voting age than Americans of other extraction. The battle cry of PASO is political and economic equality. But its leaders, already Successful men, appear to be driven as well by a burning desire for more than tolerance. Win One Election Crystal City is Paso’s showpiece. Last April a slate of five Mexican-Americans took over the city government from a city council that other Americans always had dominated. Crystal City has 9,500 residentes — 85 per cent of whom are Mexican-American, 14-5 per cent of whom are not Mexican and .5 per cent of whom are Negro. The 14.5 per cent white nonMexicans pay 65 per cent of the taxes. Those whose heritage is not Mexican (called “Anglos”) in Crystal City do not like this new government. They are trying to do something about it. M. Dale Barker, editor and publisher of the weekly Zavala County Sentinel, summed up the Anglo attitude as follows: “We have no objection to officeholders of Spanish extraction, but we -do object to outside interests coming in, directing things and putting puppets in office.” • By “outside interests,” Barker Jneant PASO and a local of JTames Hoffa’s Teamster’s Union, iwhich provided the backbone in

Crystal City for the Latin victory. Represents Cannery Workers “If they would just let us alone we would have something real nice here,” Mayor Juan Cornejo said. Cornejo (pronounced cor-nay-ho) is the local agent of the Teamsters’ Union, and his Anglo constituents call him “Mayor Ccrney-Joe.” The Teamsters Union got into Crystal City politics because it represents approximately 300 workers in the California Packing Co. canning plant in Crystal City. The cannery workers are not only 100 per cent Latin; they also are the best-paid workers in town, according to Fuentes. And, since they work under outside contract, they cannot be intimidated. 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. They already are organizing an assault on the county government in Zavala County in next year’s primaries. 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 party. 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 next year to state office in Texas and which presidential candidate carries Texas if: — The Texas poll tax is cut from $1.75 to 25 cents in a special election Nov. 9. —Enough conservative Democrats vote Republican in Texas next year. Pena and Fuentes deny that their aim is to elect Latins to office. They say they and PASO support candidates, regardless of face, who recognize the Latin’s problems and try to do something about them. They noted instances in which they supported Anglos over Latins. While PASO is not wedded tc the Deniocratic party, Pena and Fuentes said its most sensible course appears to be whatever extends and enlarges President Kennedy’s New Frontier.
Reminds Employers On Employing Youth
CHICAGO — Aproach of the fall school term brought a reminder to employers today the fair labor standards act (federal Wage-hour law) sets minimum ages for the employment of young workers. In issuing the reminder, regional director Earl F. Halverson of the U. S. labor department’s wage and hour and public contracts divisions expressed the hope that employers will encourage young people to return to the classrooms this fall “because of the rising importance of education in an era when a high school diploma has become a minimum requirement for most employment.” For those who may work, Halverson pointed out that the fair labor standards act applies to employment in interstate , commerce or the production of goods for commerce and in certain large enterprises engaging in or producing for such commerce. The act Sets a 16-year age minimum for general employment, but permits 14- and 15-year-olds to work in a variety of jobs, such as

He served as pastor of the Lima, Ohio, Missionary church and thereafter as pastor of Baptist churches in Haviland, Van Wert and Mercer, in Ohio. Since 1927, for 35 years he pastored the First Baptist church of Evans City, Pa. For many years he served as moderator of the Association of Regular Baptists of Western Pennsylvania. Also during this time he traveled widely as evangelist and conference speaker throughout the eastern and central states, and served for one year as missionary pastor in Bridgetown, Barbados, an island in the Caribbean. He made two missionary tours in South America, visiting missionary stations in various countries where former members of his church and two of his daughters were serving as missionaries.

These younger workers are limited to three hours of employment on a school day and 18 hours during a school week, and may not work before 7 a.m. or after 7 p.m. An 18-year age minimum applies to occupations which have been declared hazardous by the secretary of labor. These include such jobs as driver or driver’s helper on a motor vehicle, elevator operator, logger or sawmiller, operator of certain power-driven machinery and some excavation work. Halverson said that employers can protect themselves against unintentional violations of the minimum age provisions by obtaining and keeping on file an age certificate for each minor employed, showing the minor to be the legal age for the occupation in which he is working. State labor and school officials will provide information about the State child-labor laws. Halverson said that the higher standards should be observed if Federal and State laws difer. Additional information about the child-labor provision? of the Act may be obtained from the nearest office of the U.S. Labor Department’s Wage and Hour and Public Contracts Divisions, located at Room 423, U.S. Post Office & Courthouse, Indianapolis 4, Ind.

Sunny Skies Prevail At Indiana Fair INDIANAPOLIS (UPI) — The weather improved today as the Indiana State Fair got down to business after attracting nearly 35,000 visitors in its first weekend.

Check Brilish Film Studios In Robbery LONDON (UPI) — Police were reported today checking British film studios for information on five suspects in the $7.3 million train robbery who may have worked as movie stunt men. Irish national police were scouring the Irish countryside for three robbery suspects believed to have fled there, and detectives also were alerted in Spain and the seacoast areas of Italy and France. The London Daily Express said British police believe five men wanted in connection with the Aug. 8 robbery worked as stunt men or extras at the Elstree and Shepperton studios outside London. * A Scotland Yard spokesman said he knew reports of detectives searching for members of the robbery gang at the studio, however. Studio representatives were not immediately available for comment. The Express said Roy (The Weasel) James, a 28-year-old racing driver being sought in connection with the robbery, had worked as a film extra. James was one of three wanted men reported Sunday to have been sighted in Ireland, where he has raced and is known to have friends. Two other suspects, antique dealer Bruce Richard Reynolds, 41, and case owner James E. White, 43, also were reported seen in Ireland. • As the search went into its 19th day, police had arrested three men on charges of taking part in the daring holdup and five other persons including three woman on charges of receiving part of the record cash loot.
