Congress Extra Session Passes Massive Economic Measures
In a historic extra session, Congress approved a three point three billion dollar public works program, a two billion dollar Home Loan Fund, and a Glass Steagall banking reform bill.

The era shifts away from gold as the dollar is taken off the gold standard and the banking system comes under federal controls.
