The 19 schools which have respond- ed to date as host schools in \Oper- ation Hospitality\ — a Chicago arch- diocesan program to reduce the racial isolation of school children — Include 13 which had no Negro pupils last school year and six with only a few Negro children.

The cost of transporting the chil- dren from their home school and back each day will be paid from a special fund.

Farm Unionist Cites Violence Stops Picketing Coachella, Calif. — (NC) — Cesar Chavez, director of the United Farm Workers Organizing Committee, AFL- CIO, has withdrawn pickets from grape ranches in the Coachella Val- ley because of increasing violence connected with his farm workers' strike against the grape growers. The farm workers' strike against the 12 major grape ranches in the valley some 125 miles east of Los Angeles began June IB at the peak of the harvest season. The strikers are demanding union recognition. Announcing withdrawal of the pickets, Chavez said that the action was taken with full knowledge that it might look like a defeat for the union. He said that the union's \com- mitment to non-violence left it no other choice.\ Chavez charged that there have been many incidents of violence by non-strikers against the union pickets and that the local law enforcement office has been unable to provide protection. He said that William Richardson, a seminarian at Notre Dame Univer- sity and a summer volunteer with the union, was severely beaten (July 2) and underwent surgery at Bakersfield Hospital for a broken nose. The union leader said that the with- drawn pickets may be sent East to promote the California boycott of grapes produced by. non-union growers. SIBLEY'S DOWNTOWN OPBN TUESDAY AND THURSDAY 'TIL 9 P.
