Best Answer

During the Great Depression, J. Edgar Hoover was director of the Bureau of Investigations, precursor to the Federal Bureau of Investigations. At that time, the Bureau focused on breaking up gangs of bank robbers, particularly in the midwest; on the other hand, Hoover denied that mafia-style organized crime existed, possibly because he enjoyed gambling himself.

Herbert Hoover, on the other hand, was President of the United States from 1929-1933.
