And what about the "rural loan" provision which would give the poverty chief power to make $3.500. 15year loans to rural families which fail to qualify for other federal loans? Such authority could be a potent patronage weapon in any political campaign. One of OEOs most leftwing programs has been the SDSdominated migrant and seasonal farm worker system of grants which too often go to private. leftistdominated nonprofit groups. which have sought to unionize and politicize farm workers to their own brand of leftist politics. including the Atzlan philosophy of carrying out a new Chicano nation in the Southwest. This program. which has been delegated to the Department of Labor. would be made permanent under the HEW transfer bill. Furthermore. as elsewhere in the bill. language is included in the migrant section on which expansion of the legal services program. under diverse Authorities. would be advanced.
