![["The Presbyterian Synod expresses alarm at efforts to repeal the 160-acre water limitation in California, stating that it would harm small farmers and benefit large landowners. The report highlights the moral problem involved in repealing the limitation and discusses the potential coercion in acreage limitation provisions. The report also addresses the potential benefits of maintaining the limitation for farmers in the Central Valley Project."]](https://jones-2.s3.amazonaws.com/Helen%20Gahagan%20Douglas%20Collection/CAC_CC_014_5_171_3_0000-Statements%20in%20Congress,%20speeches,%20and%20press%20releases%20of%20Helen%20Gahagan%20Douglas/Thumbnails/CAC_CC_014_5_171_3_0035_thumbnail.jpg "Expanding Social Security: The ABC's of the New Law")
![["The document compares the voting records of Helin Gahagan Douglas and Richard Hixon in the 80th Congress of 1947-48 on various issues. Douglas was generally in favor of limiting Presidents to two terms, citing individuals for contempt, cutting the budget, and passing certain bills. Hixon, on the other hand, was in favor of certain budget cuts, barring portal to portal pay, and extending power to bring in farm labor. Both individuals had differing votes on various bills related to taxation, foreign aid, loyalty tests, and social security. Overall, Douglas and Hixon had contrasting stances on many important issues during this Congress."]](https://jones-2.s3.amazonaws.com/Helen%20Gahagan%20Douglas%20Collection/CAC_CC_014_5_172_2_0000-1950%20Campaign%20Helen%20Douglas-Richard%20Nixon%20Voting%20Record/Thumbnails/CAC_CC_014_5_172_2_0010_thumbnail.jpg "Congressional Attendance Record: Helen Gahagan Douglas")
![["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. Douglas urges the Senate Committee on Interior & Insular Affairs to approve the project's early authorization and construction."]](https://jones-2.s3.amazonaws.com/Helen%20Gahagan%20Douglas%20Collection/CAC_CC_014_5_172_9_0000-1950%20Campaign%20Helen%20Gahagan%20Douglas's%20Speeches/Thumbnails/CAC_CC_014_5_172_9_0030_thumbnail.jpg "Preserving Liberty: Congresswoman Douglas Opposes Mundt-Nixon Bill")
![["Representative Richard M. Nixon is campaigning for the United States Senate, emphasizing the need for the Republican Party to stand for a \"better life\" and oppose the socialist program of the Administration. He plans to focus on issues such as the Taft-Hartley Act, the Brannan Farm plan, and compulsory health insurance. Nixon also criticizes the Democrats' handling of money, arguing that the average manufacturing wage earner has not seen significant benefits. He is determined to fight against what he sees as a trend towards \"British socialism.\""]](https://jones-2.s3.amazonaws.com/Helen%20Gahagan%20Douglas%20Collection/CAC_CC_014_5_173_10_0000-Nixon-Clippings/Thumbnails/CAC_CC_014_5_173_10_0001_thumbnail.jpg "The Courageous Women of America: Forty-Ninth Companion Poll")
