The main issue is the tidelands oil battle, with Douglas supporting the Supreme Court ruling awarding the tidelands to the Federal Government, while Downey advocates for state ownership. Douglas is a progressive legislator known for her work in Congress and relationships with influential figures like F.D.R. She faces a tough battle against Downey, who has the support of big landowners and oilmen. The primary election will be held in June, and the campaign is expected to be heated, with Douglas facing accusations of being a socialist or communist by some Republicans.

![["Representative Helen Gahagan Douglas strongly endorses the Engle-Scudder bill to authorize the building of canals for irrigation in the Sacramento Valley. The project has widespread support from officials, farmers, and citizens in the affected area. The bill aims to bring water to irrigate a large section of land that is currently largely dry-farmed, with the potential to greatly increase productivity and address water supply issues. The project is part of the original State Central Valley Project and is estimated to have a favorable benefits-to-cost ratio.
