Herbert Clark Hoover was the 31st President of United States (1929-1933). Born in an Lowa village in 1874, Son of a Quaker blacksmith. Hoover served as an active mining engineer and consultant nearly twenty years. During in World War I, he helped war victims and led five hundred volunteers to pass out food, clothing, steamship tickets and cash. After the war entered into United States, President Wilson appointed Hoover head of the Food Administration. At end of the war, he became a member of the Supreme Economic Council and head of the American Relief Administration.
World War I brought Hoover to prominence in American politics and thrust him into the international spotlight. In addition to running the U.S. Food Administration, Hoover organized and administered several private relief efforts before, during, and after the war. He thus became an important war-time adviser to President Woodrow Wilson even though he was a Republican.
During the 1920s, Hoover rose steadily in Republican politics, serving with great ability and distinction in the Harding and Coolidge administrations as secretary of commerce. As secretary and as President, Hoover revolutionized the relations between business and government. Hoover easily won the 1928 Republican nomination for President. He won an overwhelming victory, claiming more than 58 percent of the vote. Hoover used the presidency as a vehicle for improving the conditions of all Americans, not by resorting to outright dictatorship or socialism, but through regulation and by encouraging volunteerism. He expanded civil service coverage, canceled private oil leases on government lands, and led the way for the prosecution of gangster Al Capone by instructing the Justice Department and the Internal Revenue Service to go after gangsters for tax evasion.

Hoover departed from Washington in March of 1933 with some bitterness, disappointed both that he had been repudiated by the voters and unappreciated for his best efforts. Between his election and his inauguration as President, Hoover broke precedent by undertaking a goodwill tour of many Latin American countries. In 1947 President Truman appointed Hoover to a commission, which elected him chairman, to reorganize the Executive Departments. He was appointed chairman of a similar commission by President Eisenhower in 1953. Many economies resulted from both commissions' recommendations. Over the years, Hoover wrote many articles and books, one of which he was working on when he died at 90 in New York City on October 20, 1964.
