Hoover Bill Clears Senate in $2 Billion Credit Relief Push
The Senate backed President Hoover's $2 billion government credit relief bill 63 to 1, sending it to the House. It would create a government corporation to extend credit to banks and railroads with $50 million for direct farmer loans. The bill faces House action by Thursday and a possible presidential signature by the weekend. The chamber also advanced a land bank measure adding $125 million to capital, and debated city and state loan extensions amid a partisan vote. Democratic leaders in the House plan to raise about $1 billion annually in new taxes to fund deficits and new revenue laws, with work by the Ways and Means Committee beginning soon.
