Migrant Leader Tells UMOS to Aid Social Justice Obituaries Companies Called Complementary injustice is much more of a menace to the migrant worker than the Jesus Salas told the board of directors of the United Migrant Opportunity Service, Inc. (UMOS) Wednesday night. Salas, a leader in an independent farm workers organization known a Obreros Unidos, explained his criticisms of UMOS to the board at its headquarters at 150 South Waukesha. He said it was not his intention to destroy UMOS, but to build it through helping the directors learn through their mistakes of the past. UMOS could be influential in aiding in the three primary concerns of the migrant worker today, Salas said.

These concerns are better housing, a minimum wage, and workman's compensation. He cited several of the injustices workers in Waukeshara county had suffered this spring at the hands of growers who employed them. He said the growers needed more mattresses for the workers to sleep on. and scrounged them from a city dump. One residence was without water for two weeks, Tax Hike May Get New Boost WASHINGTON UR The Treasury plan to borrow $15 billion in new cash during the six- month period which ends in December is expected to boost interest rates.

It also could give a sense of urgency to President proposal for a six percent surcharge on individual and corporate income taxes which thus far has gotten a cool reception in Congress. One reason for the surcharge would be to hold down interest rates and help stem inflation. Some officials are convinced that without increased taxes the nation will suffer serious inflation late this year and early next year. Treasury officials conceded Wednesday their plans for borrowing new money would represent an substantial on the money market. But Frederick L.

Deming, undersecretary of he Treasury for monetary affairs. told a news conference the borrowing have a tremendous impact on interest rates, which already have increased substantially in recent months. He said the money market had anticipated sn even higher figure. The assessment of new cash needs, Deming said, was based on estimates of spending and tax receipts. It indicated a slightly higher level of spending than Johnson proposed in his budget for the fiscal year which began July 1, and slightly lower tax collections as previously reported by Treasury officials.

The new money would supplement regular tax collections and would be designed to make ends meet. and in another the sink drains weie so clogged showers had to be taken in ankle deep water. The migrant service should expand its activities outside the educational field, Salas said. Within the field of education, more effort could be expended in advance planning. Several hundreds of workers in the Waushara county area are deeply in debt to their companies now because the crop was so late this year.

Since the workers were already here, they had to borrow money from the companies until there was employment for them. This would have been the time for UMOS to step in with its education program. This program pays a worker while he is learning a trade, so he can concentrate on his education and still have a small source of income. An effort by UMOS to launch a stipended adult education program during the period of unemployment collapsed when the Office of Economic Opportunity said only half a stipend could be paid at the time. The other half could be paid in the fall to workers who then enroll in the full-time 20 week stipended program which is the main feature of the UMOS program.

Salas said the attempt to offer a stipend program this summer came too late to the Waushara county area. He told the directors it was essential that they build a credibility of their organization among the workers. into the he urged. He said the growers may not want to see the workers educated, but could not refuse UMOS personnel the right to enter the camp if the migrant wanted to see them. Above all, he said, UMOS should not become identified with the power structure that has created the low conditions in which migrants live.

Fr. John Maurice, president of UMOS, said the organization in no position to become a part to union But he said lack of involvement in day to day problems raise a serious question of how we crate credibility with the migrant Theron supervisor of Wautoma opportunity center, said it has been his to deal with all problems in (migrant) but that he was personally unaware of some of the problems Salas mentioned, He said these may have taken place in several camps where farm owners exclude UMOS staff members. Legislature Back, 1st Is Safety Bill MADISON (AP) The Wisconsin Legislature returned today to wrap up its work with a sudden-death showdown decision on traffic safety. The compromise version of Warren P. mended safety measure was set for its first test in the Senate as the upper house ended its four-week boycott of the Capitol.

The Assembly also planned to revive and approve proposal for a new department of local affairs and development, originally sent to the sidelines for the summer. The Lawmakers are aiming for an end to the initial 1967 session either tonight or Friday. The legislature will return for a second session in the fall. Republican leaders were considering moving the tentative starting date of Oct. 3 back by one or two weeks, possibly to Oct.

17. The Assembly was due to resume today three hours later than the Senate, which had been idle since the legislature fell apart in its stalemate over traffic safety at the end of June. The Assembly returned twice during the Senate lull. A Senate-Assembly compromise ended the impasse last week by settling on a rebuilt safety bill after sacking proposal for a statewide minimum age of 21 for drinking beer. The compromise calls for an increase in the present minimum age from 18 to 19, with communities keeping the local option to raise it to 21 It also includes required intoxication tests for drunken driving suspects, annual vehicle inspections, higher license fees, stiffer traffic fines, and a 50-man increase in the state highway patrol.

Under the rules of the legislature, the package is subject to a simple, sudden- death vote in each house and cannot be altered on the floor. The Assembly was slated to take action on the local affairs agency today while waiting on the Senate debate. The Senate also planned to pass the $844 million budget for highways, conservation and other special funds before going home. Passage of traffic safety, local affairs and the special budget would give the GOP governor and the Republican controlled legislature a perfect record on approval of top-priority proposals in the initial 1967 session. The lawmakers have passed the Kellett Bill to streamline state government, a $1.1 billion mam budget balanced without a new tax hike, an expanded presidential primary, and an air pollution control program.

Key Republicans in the Assembly pieced together a retouched i on of local affairs proposal Wednesday evening and readied it for approval today. The Department of Local affairs and Development is already outlined under the Kellett Bill, but the separate proposal provides the details and the money. Otto Hackbarth, Golf Pro Otto G. A.

There was no apparent connection between the robbery at the suburban Bank of Greenfield and a holdup at the First Wisconsin National Badger office within the city limits earlier in the day. The masked bandits who held up the Badger branch were described as Negroes. The bearded men, who also wore facial makeup, were described as white. In still another robbery, a bandit escaped with $183 from a branch office of the Seaboard Finance Co. The bearded men entered the Greenfield bank through a side door that is normally locked, a bank official said.

The entrance was kept open for the convenience of electricians working in the new building, he explained. The robbers, three of whom were armed, escaped in a white and silver 1959 Ford after stuffing their loot into pillowcases, authorities said. Six employes and a salesman were in the bank during the holdup which took about three minutes. One of the bandits kicked Theodore T. Buckley, a bank vice president, in the ribs.

Gerard Senk, 30, the salesman, was struck in the face and knocked to the floor. Mrs. Diane K. Rapp, 30. a teller, was slapped.

Shields formerly lived at 127 S. Grand Waukesha. His father, Clyde Shields, was principal of south campus high school until his death in 1959. Federal Judge John W. Reynolds denied two motions for dismissal, then found Shields guilty of the charge.

The dismissal motions were by the defense attorney, David Loeffler. One motion asked the case to be dismissed and sent back to the draft board.
