326 S. STATE
FRESNO, Calif (RP) - When
Sen. Edward Kennedy (D-
Mass.) hailed delegates to the
Democratic National Conven-
tion as "fellow lettuce boycot-
ters," it gave a big boost to the
Cesar Chavez - led boycott
against non-union head lettuce,
a United Farm Workers Union
official said yesterday.
However, an Associated Press
survey of supermarket chains
across the country indicated
the boycott thus far is having
little effect.
"When we plan a boycott, we
plan for a couple of years,"
said Marshall Ganz, director of
the farm workers international
boycott program.
"The success of the boycott
depends on reaching many,
many Americans and convinc-
ing them not to eat lettuce,"
that doesn't bear the UFW la-
bel, Ganz added. "Something
like this is tremendously help-
ful," he continued, referring to
Kennedy's salute.

"We're very pleased with it,"
said Ganz. "Most of the dele-
gations and many of the Dem-
ocratic state conventions en-
dorsed the boycott and urged
people not to buy lettuce."
"The Democratic party is the
largest political organization in
the United States," he added,
"and having that kind- of sup-
port and the fact that it's en-
dorsed right in the platform is
very helpful. We're waiting to
e what the Republicans are
going to do."
The boycott extends to all
lettuce which does not carry
the UFW's stamp, Ganz said.
About 15 per cent of the total
lettuce crop in Californiagand
Arizorna is harvested by grow-
ers which have contracts with
the UFW, he added. However,
many other growers have con-
tracts with the teamsters, which
has led to a jurisdictional dis-
pute between the two unions.
Ganz said the current cam-
paign is directed primarily at
the general public, asking peo-
ple to sign a pledge not to buy
non-UFW lettuce. Each pledge
that is signed, he added, costs a
grower about $15 a year in lost
sales.
Emil Ghio, Jr., president of
Golden West Packing Co., in
Chula Vista, Calif., predicted
that the publicity given the
UFW would hurt the Democra-
tic party.
