Transcription: The Southern Pacific threw 600,000 hobos off its trains in a single year. An astonishing number were women and young boys. Hoover's undoing finally was ordering the Army to route thousands of homeless veterans, their wives and children, from government buildings in shanty Hooverville towns on the outskirts of Washington. That was unforgivable. The veterans returned again the next year, still pleading for a bonus.
