Hoover, Herbert C (1874-1964) 31st President of the U.S. (1929-33); born West Branch, Iowa. He easily won the 1928 Republican presidential nomination and defeated Democrat Alfred E. Smith. His administration was dominated by the Great Depression, ushered in by the stock market crash of Oct. 1929. Believing the economy would regenerate spontaneously, Hoover was reluctant to extend federal activities. He ran for reelection in 1932 but was overwhelmingly defeated by Franklin D. Roosevelt. Later, Hoover coordinated (1946) food supplies to war-ravaged countries and headed (1947-49) the Hoover Commission, which recommended administrative reforms of the executive branch.
