Frankie was pinched trying to organize the pea pickers of the Imperial Valley. Frankie was pinched for unlawful assembly in Los Angeles. He was in jail the night before Reggie bore him a baby, Timothy. His ostensible employment was that of an ice man. With that other, ever-loyal functionary, Willie Schneiderman,* he tried to organize the waterfront, and began to attract the attention of party headquarters in New York.

But private business and the bureaus are not doing even an acceptable job in these fields. So it is up to the Government--which is already socialistically entrenched in the Columbia Valley--to do its work better through the medium of an independent agency like the CVA. If the Eighty-First Congress manages to break through the power-lobby smokescreen to pass the CVA bill, it will have something, at least, to be proud of, regardless of the rest of its legislative...
