UFW payback
PARK RIDGE, 711. - December
8, 1981... United Farm Workers
leader Cesar Chavez has been
ordered to pay back nearly a half
million dollars to the federal
treasury for sums disallowed from
1978 grants made to UFW agencies
from the Community Services
Administration.
The grants were made to assist
the union’s Farm Workers Service
Center build a microwave com
munications system, and subsidize
UFW’s credit union, and were
challenged by Farm Bureau and a
group of farmers and farmworkers
in a lawsuit against the granting
agencies CSA and the Depart
ment of Labor/CETA. The
plaintiffs charged the funds .were
illegally appropriated to help UFW
organize farm workers.
The suit was settled a month ago
on the determination that the
agencies would themselves seek
the return of substantial sums of
the grants on the basis of a
government audit called for by
Rep. Henry Hyde (R-IL)' The
audit report challenged some
$750,000 ins pending by UFW
agencies.

When he joined the faculty in

with the school’s ambulatory care
unit, and later with the field ser-
Gov’t orders
American Farm Bureau
Federation president Robert
Delano said he saw the govern
ment order to return the funds as
“a major victory for taxpayers
and an important precedent for the
principle of holding government
spending to responsible ac
countability.” He said he saw the
grovernment order as the
culmination of months of activity
by Farm Bureau attorneys
working on behalf of farm workers
as well as grower challenges.
CSA’s order to return $427,000 of
its grant funding of $805,000 came
in a letter of December 1, to UFW
agencies from Robert L.
Trachtenberg, acting director of
the Office of Community Services,
Department of Health & Human
Services, successor representative
to the now-defunct Community
Services Administration.
Representatives of CETA are
expected to make additional
demands for the return of monies
granted UFW agencies in 1978 to
operate an educational program at
UFW headquarters in LaPaz,
California.
