Kennedy Plan Urges Food Aid Boost and Redevelopment
At a New Year news conference Senator Douglas highlights two top recommendations: nearly doubling surplus food to destitute families and swift passage of an area redevelopment bill modeled on Eisenhower programs. He cites 193.2 million in monthly value of surplus food for 1932 and notes 10 percent of the nation in persistent unemployment, with 15 million in distressed areas and 4-7 million rural underemployed. The committee estimates half a billion dollars in total cost, and proposes urgent actions including expanded surplus commodities, emergency unemployment benefits, and targeted public works plus more government contracts in low-spirited areas.
