Hoover weighs veterans relief bill before veto
President Hoover, preparing to veto the veterans loan bill, orders nationwide inquiries to gauge veteran distress and potential relief impact. Officials say 210,000 with certificates could borrow about 16 million, while 500,000 with smaller certificates might borrow up to 77.5 million, as reports from cities and agencies shape the veto message. Hoover aims to complete city reports and timing for implementing the bill.
