![["The Democratic Party published a study comparing the promises made in the 1948 platforms of the two major parties with their performance in Congress. The study shows that the Democratic Party kept its promises while the Republican Party voted against its own promises. The Democratic Party is portrayed as the party of performance, while the Republican Party is seen as making glib promises. The study highlights specific issues such as foreign policy, trade, national defense, housing, health, education, science, and agriculture where the Democratic Party's actions aligned with their promises."]](https://jones-2.s3.amazonaws.com/Helen%20Gahagan%20Douglas%20Collection/CAC_CC_014_5_173_7_0000-Miscellaneous/Thumbnails/CAC_CC_014_5_173_7_0015_thumbnail.jpg "Support and Gratitude: A Letter Exchange")

![["The document responds to a request from Honorable Carl Albert regarding the removal of restrictions on lands of Indians applying for old age assistance in Oklahoma. The Inter-Tribal Council recommended restrictions not be removed, but the Area Director cannot comply due to the Social Security Act. The Area Director's report on the McMillion case is enclosed, showing that removal of restrictions was necessary for the family to receive assistance. The document explains the legal basis for eligibility and criticizes Chief Belvin for misunderstanding the situation. The case of Mr. and Mrs. Hendrix McMillion is highlighted as an example where restrictions needed to be removed for the family to receive assistance."]](https://jones-2.s3.amazonaws.com/Carl%20Albert%20Collection,%201947-1977/Departmental,%201945-1976%20(CAC_CC_001_4_0000_0000)/CAC_CC_001_4_11_67_0000%20-%20Interior%20-%20Bureau%20of%20Indian%20Affairs%20-%20Welfare%20and%20Old%20Age%20Assistance%20(2),%201951/Thumbnails/CAC_CC_001_4_11_67_0003_thumbnail.jpg "Advocating for Elderly Indian Citizens: A Call to Action")

![["A group of Senators have filed a resolution to extend the life of a committee investigating hunger in the United States, as scattered accounts indicate a need for action. Dr. Arnold E. Schaefer's testimony revealed instances of hunger, malnutrition, and starvation in low-income areas. The government must explore the extent of undernourishment at home and make more food available to those in need. Some policies have perpetuated scarcity to keep farm prices high, while programs like the school lunch program have been influenced by national agricultural policy. The National Sharecroppers Fund recommends a reorientation of farm and food assistance programs to support smaller farmers and provide food for the hungry. Further investigation and change are needed to address the issue of hunger in America."]](https://jones-2.s3.amazonaws.com/Helen%20Gahagan%20Douglas%20Collection/CAC_CC_014_8.12_9_53_0000-National%20Advisory%20Committee%20on%20Farm%20Labor,%201960-1969/Thumbnails/CAC_CC_014_8.12_9_53_0007_thumbnail.jpg "Reminder of Joint NSF-NACFL Committee meeting to discuss activities, finances.")
![["The New York Times article from February 24, 1969 discusses the impact of the nation's agricultural policies on the poor, highlighting the reemergence of nutritional diseases and mental retardation due to dietary deficiencies. While there have been some positive developments such as increased funding for investigations and plans to provide free food stamps in certain areas, there are still distressing aspects of the problem. The article criticizes the disproportionate spending on farm income stabilization programs compared to programs aiding the poor, as well as the refusal of the Agriculture Department to provide food or food stamps to the hungry in California. The article calls on Secretary of Agriculture Clifford M. Hardin to take action to address the widespread hunger in America."]](https://jones-2.s3.amazonaws.com/Helen%20Gahagan%20Douglas%20Collection/CAC_CC_014_8.12_9_53_0000-National%20Advisory%20Committee%20on%20Farm%20Labor,%201960-1969/Thumbnails/CAC_CC_014_8.12_9_53_0008_thumbnail.jpg "Senators seek to extend committee investigating hunger due to need for action.")
