The Italian Communist Party, through Theoretician Giorgio Amendola, did its best to explain the workers' failure to support student power. Reproving the students' "anarchism" and "old barricade spirit," Amendola urged young rebels to channel their energy toward the workers and noted that Lenin himself had warned "not to play with insurrection...

...movement-"la Causa'' to its members-has been unexpectedly successful in its attack on the grapes-of-wrath misery to which pickers, mostly migrant workers, have been subjected for generations. Thus far, nine of the valley's largest growers-most notably, Schenley Industries, Di Giorgio Corp., the Gallo Winery and Christian Brothers-have signed contracts with the N.F.W.A., elevating a laborer's average pay from $1.10 an hour to a minimum of $1.75.
