JOSE GUTIERREZ, founder and national chairman of the Chicano political movement. La Raza Unida, (people united) is shown as he delivered the keynote address for the "Chicano '73 in Iowa" conference at the University of Iowa, Iowa City. Gutierrez spoke of the past history of the Chicano people and urged them to continue to be aggressive and maintain their own individuality. In the lower photo is shown El Monumento De La Raza, a monument to La Raza, which represents to the Chicano people an ethnic solidarity and a sense of common destiny. The monument was part of the mesoamerican cultural display at the conference. The exhibit consisted of many large sculptured pieces all reproduced with authenticity by David Torrez and traced the development of the cultures that form the cultural base of the Chicano people today.

Varied speeches at labor meeting
   WASHINGTON (AP) -- President Nixon skirted economic issues, George Meany attacked Nixon administration economics, and Secretary of Labor Peter Brennan denied he had sold out the union movement—in speeches Monday before an AFL-CIO conference.
   Some 4,000 delegates to the annual legislative conference of the AFL-CIO Building Trades Department applauded Nixon when he thanked “hard hat” labor leaders for the support of his Vietnamese policies.
   “When the question was respect for the United States and strength for the United States, these men stood for the United States,” Nixon told the delegates from 17 AFL-CIO construction units.
   Nixon also defended Brennan from recent criticism by Meany that he had sold out the labor movement. “Pete Brennan never sells out on anything: he fights for what he believes, “Nixon said.
   AFL-CIO President Meany spoke after Nixon left, and issued a stinging rebuke of Nixon economics, asserting that administration efforts to curb inflation— Phase One through Phase Three--were “a complete miserable failure.” Meany said the only hope was for congressional action to roll back all prices, interest rates and rents, and curbing excessive profits by business.
   Later in the day, in an apparent victory for the administration, the House rejected proposals to freeze or roll back prices, and extended Nixon’s economic powers for another year.
   When he spoke to the labor delegates, Brennan also denied he had turned his back on the labor movement for supporting Nixon administration economic policies. He said the day he did sell out would be the day “I’m going to resign as secretary of labor and that’s a promise.”
