![["Blind people have special expenses that seeing people do not have, such as the need for guides, clerical services, house repairs, transportation, and groceries. The Social Security Act should be amended to include an insurance plan for blind individuals to help cover these extra costs and provide support for those who lose their sight. The insurance payments should be structured to encourage rehabilitation and increased earning power."]](https://jones-2.s3.amazonaws.com/George%20B.%20Schwabe%20Collection%20/CAC_CC_047_1_0000_0000_0000-79th%20Congress,%201945-1947/CAC_CC_047_1_7_5_0000-Social%20Security,%201945-1946/CAC_CC_047_1_7_5_0000-Thumbnails/CAC_CC_047_1_7_5_0010_thumbnail.jpg "Understanding the Extra Financial Burden of Blindness: A Call for Insurance Amendment")

![["The Republican members of the Ways and Means Committee are in favor of extending the Trade Agreement law for another year, as long as section 2 is eliminated. They believe that bilateral trade agreements should be genuinely reciprocal in order to stimulate foreign trade and maintain price and wage levels. They are against the Doughton bill, which would give the State Department too much power in lowering tariff rates. They argue that allowing too many imports could harm American industries and workers. They believe that America should prioritize its own interests first and not give away the American market."]](https://jones-2.s3.amazonaws.com/George%20B.%20Schwabe%20Collection%20/CAC_CC_047_1_0000_0000_0000-79th%20Congress,%201945-1947/CAC_CC_047_1_7_7_0000-Tariff,%201945-1946/CAC_CC_047_1_7_7_0000-Thumbnails/CAC_CC_047_1_7_7_0010_thumbnail.jpg "Republican Members of the Ways and Means Committee Express Concerns Over Potential Tariff Reductions")
