Tomatoes?
The embargo against Mexican tomatoes is ripe.
As a matter of fact it stinks so much that its damage
to international relations with Mexico will take several
years to mend. But the reason for it is nebulous. We
ask questions concerning the embargo. Who has the
answers?
if the Florida tomato growers are under subsidy
from the Federal Government, then why the embargo?
Are the Florida tomatoes coming all the way to
Arizona?
Are the tomatoes going to be so scarce later on
that the price for a pound of tomatoes is going to be
fixed by the demand, instead of the supply, or the sup-ply
will be such that the price will be controlled by the
growers? A sellers market?
Will the President appoint a committee to mend
the fences in Mexico?
How about subsidizing the Mexican tomato
growers too, as part of the mending program?
Why didn't the florida growers invoke the em-bargo
long ago?
Why did they wait until the tomatoes were at the
border and then refuse to let them in?
Aren't the Mexican growers worth advance notice?
Or, is it good to keep an ace in the hip pocket just in
case the Florida growers could not produce?
Why don't the tomato growers grow up and quit
playing games with our foreign relations?
Anyone having answers to these questions are
asked to write their Congressmen, Senators, President,
and anyone who will listen.
El Martes por la noche
arrivaron en el aeropuerto
municipal triunfalmente Los
Changuitos Feos y el Padre
Rourke.
Un tanto fatigados pero
satisfechos de haber cum-plido
su misión como emba-jadores
de Tucson al gran
desfile inaugural del Presi-dente
Nixon en Washington.
Para algunos miembros
del grupo, este viaje fue
otro viaje más; pero para
otros como los niños Galle-gos
y Félix, quienes fuera
su primera experiencia fue
algo inolvidable en sus
vidas.
Gran emoción había en
todas las madres y familias
cuando el enorme avión de
American Airlines llegaba al
lugar de desembarco. Y
roucha satisfacción para el
incansable Padre Rourke ha-ber
tenido esta gran opor-tunidad.

Public hearings will be
held by the President's Com-mission
on Income Main-tenance
on Friday, Jan. 24,
1969 at Pio Decimo Neigh-borhood
Center, 822 5. 7th
Avenue.
The public in general is
invited to attend and parti-cipate
but more importantly,
it is inherent upon all of us
to see to it that those pov-erty-
stricken neighbors and
friends of ours are also rep-resented
at these hearings.
City, county and state of-ficials
will attend, as well as
three of the 22 commission-ers
that are conducting the
ower-all p'' grrn.
Tucson has been selected
as a hearing site because it
became apparent in making
these selections that Tucson
represented ethnic groups
that are greatly affected,
aside from the fact that all
sf the problems that the
commission is seeking to
study are present in our
community.
The format established
for the hearing includes a
general tour of the area by
Commissioners and visits to
the homes of poor people.
These visits provide a more
personal contact than is pos-sible
in the essentially for-mal
hearing itself. The hear-ing
is the next day at which
persons other than those
seen at home testify regard-ing
their economic needs and

The President's Commis-sion
on Income Maintenance
Programs was appointed on
January 2, 1968. The com-mission
was directed to ex-amine
existing public wel-fare
and income maintenance
programs, to propose neces-sary
reforms, and to report
to the President within two
years.
The President gave to the
commission the following
broad and comprehensive
mandate: (1) to assess ex-isting
welfare and related
programs; (2) to recom-mend
improvements wher-ever
indicated; (3) to exam-ine
alternative programs,

who staffs the office
