I am representing Frank Trevino of
Pearsall, Texas. Your April 26th
issue on page 19 publishes the fol
lowing:
ROBSTOWN--Among the Raza Unida candi-
dates in the winner’s circle is
Juan Sandoval, 42, an employee of
Reynolds Metal Co. The successful
school board candidate was elected
under the banners of the Familias
Unidas organization. Mr. Sandoval’s
election is important in that it
marks the first time that a Raza Unida
candidate has won in Robstown.
An unassuming, jovial and family man,
Mr. Sandoval plans to work for a
better system of communication between
parents and school officials.
Mr. Sandoval realizes that many of
the things that he would like to change
will not come about because he is just
‘one voice on the school board but he

’’BOYCOTT PLANNED AGAINST WISHING
WELL CLUB OWNER IN PEARSALL....
Another Mexicano catching flak
from the Ciudadanos is Frank
Trevino, owner of the Wishing
Well Club, who is unwilling to
rent his place to the Ciudadanos
but quite eager to do a favor
for the FCBGL.”

Mr. Trevino takes exception to
this because it is not true. He
has at no time refused the use of
the Wishing Club to anyone except
when it hqs been previously booked.
In political campaigns his policy
has been to serve all sides equally
and to remain neutral. He has fol-
lowed these policies firmly for many
years and has thereby earned a sub-
stantial good will and your publi-
cation of the above false statement
has materially damaged same.
Request is made that you revoke
your said published statement and
explain same by publishing a copy of
the foregoing in your next issue.
Very truly yours,
Frank J. Alvarado
came from 28 cities and from as far
as Brownsville and Dallas. The big-
gest single group of students came
from the Edgewood School District.
Occuping 17 buses over 2,000 students
from Kennedy, Memorial and Edgewood
H.S. were bused to Austin. The
Crystal City delegation arrived in
four buses, but the majority of
the Raza Unida supporters made their
way by means of private transpor-
tation and in groups of five to ten.
Their presence gave the march a
state-wide representation.
After a 45 minute waiting period
where the main activity was the
corps of newsmen swarming over the
crowd and getting interviews
with the leaders of the
march, the procession rolled
forward. Leading the pa-
rade with a banner for PLEE
was Demetrio Rodriguez and
members of his family along
with other Edgewood Con-
cerned Parents members.
As the march wound it’s
way around the first turn
it became obvious that the
tail end of the procession
would never catch up with
the rest so a halt was
called to allow them time.
It was an impressive sight
as the line of marchers
seemed almost interminable.
But the real joy of the
marchers was yet to come.
Rounding the third cor-
ner of the march and into
the main street leading
to the Capitol*£ steps the
procession seemed to gain more

Robstown’s Most Happy Man
The long-time political power in
Robstown has been the Anglo controlled
Unity Party which has been scandal
ridden the last few months. The
recent upset by the Raza Unida party
according to Mr. Gonzalez is an indi-
cation that they can no longer
command the support of the community.

vows to ’’corregir muchas cosas malas.” ’ ■ ;
He plans to implement some pro-
grams that will benefit the community.
Mr. Sandoval will also be watching the
two court cases that are pending a-
gainst the Robstown school district.
One is seeking to reinstate a teacher
that was dismissed for being too in-
volved. Another is charging discri-
mination against Chicanos.
Mr. Juan Sandoval was the highest
vote-getter in the school elections.
He received 1,220 votes. His other
two stable mates, Raul Contreras and
Rudy Youngblood lost to Albino
Barrera and Abraham Enriquez. These
were heart breaking losses for el
Partido as Barrera won by 50 votes and
Enriquez by 24 votes.
For his victory Mr. Sandoval says
he is ’’encantado de la vida." Now
Mr. Sandoval is pledging his support
to the Raza Unida Party in the next
municipal elections in 1974. Their
will be three places up for election
and according to Sandoval ”nos las
vamos a llevar todas."
Mr. Cruz Gonzalez, a supporter of
Familias Unidas and prominent store-
owner in Robstown, credits Mr. Sandoval
for having a lot of guts. Running as
an independent two years ago Mr.
Sandoval with the support of the party
made-up a deficit of 600 votes to
win this time.
