    Thanks bill, I recall the story now, didn't know the players though.

    "President Herbert Hoover then ordered the army to clear the veterans' campsite...."

    I'd say the buck stopped here though, and among other things, I'm sure it didn't help him in the November election either.

    [edit] Yea:

    "The entire incident was another devastating negative for Hoover in the 1932 election."
