Democrats Show Determination On Wagner Garner Relief Fight
Washington July 7 House Democrats push to pass a 2.122 billion Wagner Garner relief program amid President Hoover opposition.

Hoover seeks loans only for state city and corporate projects while Garner aims broader access with security for all. A compromise pared the direct relief loans to states and cities to 300 million and reduced the public works to 322 million. 190 million by the federal government and 132 million loaned to states for highways.
