...other troubles, the U.F.W. finds its very existence under attack. In Arizona, Kansas and Idaho, laws have been passed that would cripple Chavez's organizing activities; they prohibit boycotts by farm workers, require farm-union elections before strikes can be called and hinder strikes at harvest time. Similar measures are included in an initiative that has been put on the California ballot by a combination of growers, shippers and the California Farm Bureau Federation. If a lettuce boycott can succeed under these circumstances, it may be that only Cesar Chavez can bring...

Both parents and teachers seem to approve: a 1970 Gallup poll reported that 62% of parents queried believed in modest use of physical punishment, and a 1969 National Education Association poll found that 65% of elementary teachers favored the "judicious use" of physical punishment in the classroom...
