The facts: On Sept. 20 President Nixon announced his intention to nominate as treasurer of the United States a successful food processor and bank board chairman of Latin extraction. Mrs. Romana Banuelos of the Los Angeles area. On Oct. 6 federal agents descended on one of Mrs. Banuelos plants. a tortilla factory in Gardens. Calif.. and carried off 36 employes. mostly miniskirted Mexican girls and women. claimed to have entered the country illegally and to have gotten work wrongfully. Conclusion: Therefore Mrs. Banuelos had connived to circumvent the immigration laws by exploiting Mexicans who had insinuated themselves across the border. She should not be confirmed by the Senate as treasurer of the United States. So far so good.
