COACHEI A\, Calif., (Reuter)-
Cesar Chavez's United Farm
Workers Union and the rival
Teamsters Union clashed openly"
yesterday as Chavez called a
strike in 15 vineyards signed by
the Teamsters Sunday.
Chavez's Union immediately
threw up picket lines around the
vineyards to try to dissuade im-
ported Mexican laborers and lo-
cal Chicanos from going to work
there.
The pickets urged w orkers to
cone out of the fields where they
were thinning vines in preparation
for May's harvest. Only a few

The strike opened a new threat
of an international boycott of Cali-

which Chavez won jurisdiction for

years ago.

of the state's harvest, one group
of table grape growers announced
Sunday they wcrc signing with the

Another group said they had
signe'd again with Chavez's union.
In a news conference Monday,
Chavez called a boycott against
"scab - picked" grapes, even
though the crop won't be picked
until next month.
He said the boycott w ould last
"just as long as it takes" to win
over the growers who have signed
with the Teamsters.

OAKLAND MAYORAL ELECTION:
Seale tops candidates
OAKLAND, Calif. () - Black! "The New Left and its cynical
Panther Bobby Seale is a leading allies have made a shambles of
contender to unseat Oakland's Re- Berkeley's government and are
publican mayor, and leftist-radi- driving business and payrolls out
cals could take control of Berke- of Berkeley. It must not happen
ley's City Council as voters ballot here."
today in the neighbor cities. In Berkeley, home of the Uni-
Clerks predicted a record voter versity of California, voters must
turnout in both Oakland and the choose between left-leaning liber-
university town of Berkeley, which als and further-left-leaning radi-
line the bay shores across from
San Francisco.
"The people are going to make
history in Oakland. I'm going to
win in a landslide," Seale said in
an interview yesterday.
Seale and Otho Green, a black
businessman, are posing a for-I
midable challenge to Oakland's
conservative Mayor John Read-
ing. If no one gets more than 50
per cent of the total vote, the top
two will face each other in a run-
off election May 15.
Reading himself calls Seale the
leading contender. The white in-
cumbent told a campaign luncheon
last week that Seale "has run an
admirable campaign and is a
worthy opponent."
Seale, who was organizing the
Black Panthers when Reading first
took office in 1966, is counting on
support from Oakland's black and
Chicano voters, who together are
55 per cent of the total.
Since announcing his candidacy
a year ago, Seale claims his 200
Panther registrars have signed up
more than 30,000 new voters in the
poorer neighborhoods of this- in-
dustrial city of 361,500 population.
City Clerk Robert Jacobson ex-
pects a 65 per cent voter turnout
because of the hot mayor's race.
Turnouts for city elections in past
years have averaged only 48 per
cent, he says.
Green, a mustachioed Democrat,
has attacked Reading as a "do
nothing" mayor who lacks leader-
ship and pecks away at Seale say-
ing he- andthe Panthers have "op-I
enly preached violence and defi-
ance of the law."
Reading hammered at the theme
of not turning Oakland into what
he calls "another Berkeley." He
says Oakland has had "no ma-
jor riots or demonstrations here
while they were occurring in 167
other U. S. cities." A newspaper
ad for Reading said:

cals running for four seats on the
nine-member City Council.
Because there already are three
council members who call them-i
selves "radicals," the radicalsI
need to win only two of the four
seats for a voting majority.c
The radical slate, which calls it-
self the "April Coalition" is run-'
ning against a "liberal-moderate"I
slate called the "Berkeley Four."r
The Berkeley Four says it rep-.<
resents everything "nonradical"?
and hopes to appeal to the city's
conservatives as the lesser of two
evils.
Voters in this' campus city of
117,000 also face ballot measures
that would require police to get
approval at the council's weekly
meeting before arresting mari-
juana smokers.
