WHEN YOU LOOK INSIDE EDITORIALS, FEATURES Page 2 Report Draws Fire Agriculture Leaders Probe Farm 'Solution' Orange County farm leaders Monday expressed little joy over the findings of a UCLA farm labor report but indicated it would require further study before a decision is made on its validity. Meanwhile, other farm groups in Southern California denounced the report as a "deceitful blueprint for disaster for California agriculture." The report was based on a survey which indicated nearly half of the unemployed interviewed in Los Angeles would be willing to take farm jobs now held by Mexican nationals under the bracero program, which expires the end of this year. Miller said the report "totally ignores the fact that California farmers already pay the highest wages in the nation; that our farmers are in competition with growers in other states paying lower wages; that Mexican-grown fruits and vegetables are pushing our products out of the markets because of their low wage costs." The UCLA study said other areas which do not use Mexican braceros pay as high or higher wages to farm workers, and quoted a farm growers' maga- A $300000 fund drive to erect new therapy building in Orange County for the Orange County Society for Crippled Children is more than half-way along, officials reported Monday. If the goal is reached the society will be able to handle a greater portion of the 30,000 appled children and adults in the county. The organization presently operates a therapeutic pool at the headquarters located at 585 Beech and occupational therapy Tustin Ave. Hearing, Beech and occupational therapy is conducted in an old farmhouse. More than 760 children and adults are being helped despite the limited facilities. Dr. Howard E. Fradkin, executive director, said that once the new addition opens in May June this figure can be increased gradually to 5,000. The society raises its operating funds through the sale ofaster Seals, and is the only health agency providing direct therapy services. It also hands out hundreds of referral cases from other agencies such as muscular dystrophy, multipleclerosis and others, Fradkin added. Patients coming directly to the society must be referred by their physicians but no one is turned away because of race, creed, or color, Fradkin said. The society also provides some group therapy for parents of crippled children which is a vital part of recovery for any patient, Fradkin stated. "We basically try to progress from the bed, to wheelchairs, to crutches, to braces, to walking. Some, of course, will never make it to the finish but at least we take them as far as they will go," Fradkin explained. PRIVATE MATTER BRISTOL, England (UPI) — Two professional bouncers responded to an advertisement put in the Bristol University student union by 20-year-old Celia Moss. Miss Moss refused full time background screening in southern California denounced the report as a "deceitful blueprint for disaster for California agriculture." The report was based on a survey which indicated nearly half of the unemployed interviewed in Los Angeles would be willing to take farm jobs now held by Mexican nationals under the bracero program, which expires the end of this year. Little Hope Held Cecil Marks, of the County Farm Bureau in Orange, said he still had to study the report but held out little hope that it would provide a source of adequate labor when the bracero program is terminated. "Many folks think they can do this work (stoop labor) and they don't really know until they try some of it," said Marks. A similar view was expressed by Gene Winn of Sunkist Growers Inc. Winn said he still had not seen the controversial report but claimed that many items in it "have been misrepresented." Endorsed By Labor The UCLA study was endorsed over the weekend by union and church leaders as "thorough and constructive." W. J. Bassett, head of the Los Angeles, County Labor Federation said that it demonstrated conclusively what "we have charged — that the growers' program to recruit replacements for braceros has been a sham." J. J. Miller, head of the Southern California Agricultural Producers Labor Committee, said if California farmers are forced to follow the recommendations contained in the report, large be wiped out. segments of agriculture would be wiped out. Shock Waves Predicted "The economic shock waves of such a disaster would knock out many affiliated industries," Miller said. Paul Bullock was director of the project which resulted in the extensive report. It was written by Fred M. Schmidt, research specialist for UCLA's Institute of Industrial Relations, at the request of the State Department of Employment farmers are in competition with growers in other states paying lower wages; that Mexican-grown fruits and vegetables are pushing our products out of the markets because of their low wage costs." The UCLA study said other areas which do not use Mexican braceros pay as high or higher wages to farm workers, and quoted a farm growers' magazine to that effect. Miller said the report. "without supporting facts." declares California farmers can afford to pay higher wages. To raise farm wages in California, without corresponding increases in wages and prices in competing states, would price our farmers out of the markets," he added. What Mr. Bullock proposes amounts to unilateral disarmament. It is tantamount to saying to our competitors: 'We surrender the market places to you.'' The report suggests that farm workers should be covered by state unemployment insurance, that federal manpower training programs be used to help in the farm labor recruitment program, and that training centers provided to serve sfarmlabru gram, and that training centers be provided to serve as farm labor supply centers. Percentage Against Vandals "About 90 per cent of all school vandals are caught," said Sgt. Andrew Quinn of the Orange Police Juvenile Division today while commenting on the recent wave of school vandalism that has hit Orange. Quinn warned that it is the parents who really suffer when their children vandalize schools. "The parents are forced to pay full restitution on all school damage," he said.
