The worker was questioned during the MurrowFriendly production concerning her children whom she said she had not left in a nursery because it would have cost her 85 cents and she did not have the money to pay for it. What the picture failed to note is that this workers husband has had a fulltime permanent job at the Okeelanta Sugar Refinery since 1956 and earns $83.50 a week as reported by the Tampa Tribune of December 7. 1960. Still another instance of inadequate reporting is brought to my attention in the MurrowFriendly production which referred to the regulation of transportation of produce and cattle. and then goes on to say thatOnly six States have laws providing for the safe transportation of migrants within their borders. Failure of the show to note that the existing regulations of the Interstate Commerce Commission relative to the transportation of workers by motor vehicle seems an inexcusable oversight. Legislation authorizing this has been in existence since 1956 and fairly comprehensive ICC regulations have been in effect for several years.
