Hoover Accuses Garner of Political Motives Behind Plan
Washington May 28 Speaker Garner defends his unemployment relief program as a real benefit to the masses and attacks President Hoover for not cooperating. Garner says Democrats did not expect Hoover to support measures benefiting the middle class. He pushes a $2.147 billion relief plan through the House amid Hoover’s denunciation as pork barrel excess. The bill includes a billion-dollar public works bond plan with 2 000 post offices and federal buildings, financed by a gasoline tax to cover interest and bonds. Hoover says the project would unbalance the budget and only employ about 100,000 men.
