![["Representative Helen Gahagan Douglas has proposed bills to re-establish a Civilian Conservation Corps with an enrollment of between 150,000 and 200,000 young men. The Corps would provide valuable work and educational experiences while also addressing the issue of youth unemployment. The program would be voluntary, last one to two years, and provide a monthly pay of $60 plus benefits. The estimated cost of the program is $400 million a year, but Representative Douglas believes it will yield significant returns in terms of human and natural resources. The Corps would be non-military and overseen by a Commission consisting of the Secretaries of Interior and Agriculture."]](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_0028_thumbnail.jpg "The United Nations Action in Korea: A Decisive Day in World History")

![["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 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")

![["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.")
