1931
President Herbert Hoover signed into law a bill making "The Star-Spangled Banner" the national anthem.

From doctorzebra.com:
He took an occasional social drink and learned to enjoy a good cigar. (Later, however, he would refuse to allow photographs while cigar smoking.)

From CigarAficianado.com:
President Herbert Hoover "smoked incessantly," according to Ike Hoover (no relation). "The bigger and the stronger, the better he liked them, but they must always be a good brand. With the burdens of office, he increased his smoking."



1959
Lou Costello of the comedy team Abbott & Costello died at age 52.


1985
The television show "Moonlighting" premiered.
