Hoover denounces Congress over agency reorganization
President Hoover, at his first press conference since September, denounces congressional opposition to his proposed government reorganization. He warns that unless Congress abstains or grants broader powers to President-elect Roosevelt, reforms will be only a mere front and not real change. He calls Democratic plans to halt reorganization a backward step and says shifting the task to his successor is a device to derail the effort.
