Read the following passage, “The Ordeal of Herbert Hoover.” Then answer the question.

Desperate encampments of tin and cardboard shacks were dubbed “Hoovervilles.” There were “Hoover hogs” (armadillos fit for eating), “Hoover flags” (empty pockets turned inside out), “Hoover blankets” (newspapers barely covering the destitute forced to sleep outdoors), and “Hoover Pullmans” (empty boxcars used by an army of vagabonds escaping from their roots)...
He shied away as if by instinct from the emotional aspects of modern, mass leadership. In the spring of 1932, three Detroit children hitchhiked to Washington to try to get their father out of jail. Hoover was deeply moved and ordered the father released immediately. Yet he refused to let the press be informed or the children exploited for his personal political advantage.
