Washington Politics and Personalities in Hoover Era
In Washington, debates mix humor and policy as Amos and Andy face possible restraint on talk of repression while the White House looms over a campaign chorus. Hoover’s advisers reportedly urged brighter campaign tones, and Senator Couzens criticizes railroads for high payroll costs signaling bureaucracy. The Back-to-the-Farm plan advances in the Senate, joint efforts with state and local agencies target farm living arrangements, and a bill prioritizes immigrant men married to American women on the quota list. Hawes predicts bipartisan support for Philippine independence, Congress grants furloughs for federal workers, and the session heads toward a five month adjournment with pay.
