City do not officially represent the Church, although he said they went to Rio Grande City with the "permission" of Archbishop LUCEY. Both the Political Association of Spanish-Speaking Organizations (PASO) and the Teamsters Union have expressed interest in helping the strikers. It should be noted that PASO is an organization formed in about 1960 which has chapters throughout the State of Texas. Its primary purpose is political education of individuals of Latin American descent and is not tied to either the Republican or Democratic Party. me een oe ee wre re . oo. te eran . oe se we TY Ti ta Ste OE PD ae re Ee a we On Le ta Pie mate ne: tw 4 A PRN, “ Ma eter ~ a? =. 4, Os Te Mert vee a» wes oe ~s aS aie? ae NN Sat SEN i et Rs Leto eee TON ee et
