Hoover urges Congress to prolong RFC with limits
Former President Herbert Hoover urged Congress to extend the Reconstruction Finance Corporation for two or three years beyond the June deadline. He proposed prohibitions on lending to foreign countries or individuals, limits on loans to governments, and higher interest rates to curb government use of funds. Hoover argued the RFC served during the 1931-32 emergency, while officials like Jesse Jones praised its record and planned to testify on continuation.

Short Vacation For Congress If Threatened Coal Strike Develops
Washington June 2 A threatened coal strike may force Congress to shorten its vacation. Sen. Ellender predicts the strike after June 30 could prompt federal intervention if the labor bill becomes law, or leave Congress adjourned to handle the issue. Talks resume on wage disputes with southern pit owners as government eyes a possible revival of stalled negotiations. A government gesture would likely come from Capt. Callisson, federal coal mines administrator.
