Senate Leaders Back Garner in Hoover Relief Clash
Democratic senators aligned to support Speaker Garner in his fight with President Hoover over the 2.122 billion Wagner Garner relief bill. The House passed the measure 202 to 156 with a provision allowing loans by the Reconstruction Finance Corporation, a provision Hoover is expected to veto. Despite Republican help, Democrats faced a veto risk and possible conference remakes to win Hoover’s approval. The bill outlines 300 million for RF C relief loans, 1.56 billion for self-liquidating construction, and 322 million for public works.
