Representative, 16th Congressional District. GARCIA, former state organizer for PASO, aceording to the folders he gave LANBIN on PASO, holds no office in the organization. Although he previously identified himself as PASO's national organizer. He showed a bill for $217 which he had incurred while working as PASO organizer. Labor, he said, had left him holding the bag (with the bill). Labor had been paying part of his salary. He is bitterly opposed te Atty. OSCAR MAUZY, lecal labor attorney. He believed that HAUZY has been trying to get rid of him for years, 1954-1955. At one time, when Bees, WILLIAM CALLEJO, was active in the forum. The FBI, GILBERT Said, on HAUZY's request, had investigated the ferum. irs. CALLEJO, he added, had gone to Washington in connection with the investigation. He did not elaborate on what Mrs. CALLEJG did in Washington. He believes labor is trying to stop the Latin-A4mericans from organi- ging. He and JOB LANDIN agreed that in spite of what inadequacies J. G. GARCIA has he should be supported. The idea was to make the Latins more politically conscious. He informed JOE that BILLIE SOL ESTES had donated $150,000 to BON YARBOROUGH for his campaign. The’ check had not been cashed, it had been stopped (stopped payment) in time. This information, he added, may or may not make the press. Informant determined that after GARCIA left IDA MORBNO contacted JOE LANDIN. She told LANDIN that she used to respect and admire both GILBERT GARCIA and forum founder, Dr. HECTOR P. GARCIA, but that after the PASO Convention, she was ashamed of both of them. Dr. GARCIA had, with his prestige, influenced the PASO delegates to endorse PRICE DANIEL. The best candidate for Governor, she said, was BON YARBOROUGH and she was veting for him. At the convention, she continued, they had been railroaded into supporting PRICE DANIEL and that is why the MSO Chapter in Dallas has been reluctant to work for DANIEL. Informant had no additional information. DoclId: 323273141 Page 3 7 a i
