Washington, July 2. UP)- House democrats rallied their forces to-day to pass the Wagner Garner, relief measure, thus chal- lenging President Hoover to veto the $2,122,0O0.000 program inte1d- ed they said. to help "all the peo- ple," and not certain privileged in- terests.
 The president bitterly opposes certain provisions of the measure insisted upon by Speaker John Garner, democratic candidate for vice-president, who claims they are necessary to prevent "class legisla- tion."
 Mir Hoover, insists the additional $1,5OO,OO0 given the reconstruction finance corporation by the bill be loaned only for construction of revenue-producing and work-pro- ducing projects by states, cities and counties.
 Gamers plan will reduce the corporation to "pawnbrok1ng business the president charged. He said it would squander public funds. @
