Veterans in Washington press for federal bonus relief
Veterans converged on the capital demanding immediate cash payment of the soldiers bonus. Resolutions in both houses urged federal aid including army rations and shelter for marchers. Police trucks offered to take veterans 50 miles out of the city but most refused to leave. The Bonus Expeditionary Force organized a permanent structure to manage fundraising and supplies as Walter Waters directed food stocks and commissary operations.

Senate trims economy program amid House doubt
Washington reports the senate passed a shrunken national economy plan and sent it back to the House with far less savings than projected. The bill now uses pay less one month furloughs for non indispensable federal workers, sparking charges that President Hoover meddled with the plan. Democrats push to offset the reduced savings with new taxes while preparing relief measures including a $300 million RFC loan to states and a $1.5 billion expansion of relief funds, facing a tough fight over bond issues.
