...reluctant to appropriate funds for South Vietnam, the Ford administration has increased its efforts to get international aid for Saigon. In an attempt to channel money from the World Bank, U.S. representatives met with representatives of 15 other member nations two weeks ago in Paris. Although Japan was the sole supporter of the American proposals, the administration seems intent upon getting increased international aid for Saigon...
Again, his use of data is very misleading. Mr. Ferrara mentions only farm corporations, but USDA figures indicate that in 1968 40 per cent of all farm tax returns over $500,000 were filed by sole proprietorships. In addition, USDA definitions of "farm corporation" include only those corporations where farm products account for the largest part of business receipts.

It is estimated that the 1 per cent of farm corporations that Mr. Ferrara refers...

This agreement was devised to intimidate and silence the great majority of farmworkers that Chavez and the growers had forced into the UFW against their will...
Claim to Legitimacy. The P.L.O.'s claim to sole legitimacy as spokesman for the Palestinians is vigorously backed by radical Arab states. The organization's status was strengthened last week, when the United Nations General Assembly voted overwhelmingly to invite the P.L.O. to sit as "representative of the Palestinian people" in a U.N. debate on the Palestinian question, probably to be held next month. There were 105 yes votes and 20 abstentions. Only Israel, the U.S., Bolivia and the Dominican Republic voted...
