Of ‘major importance’ –

President will talk to nation for half-hour starting at 9:30
Washington (UP) –
The White House announced today that President Roosevelt will make a nationwide radio address of “major importance” at 9:30 p.m. (EWT) tomorrow.
The President will speak for 30 minutes, White House Secretary Stephen T. Early said. His remarks will be broadcast over all networks.
“The speech will explain itself,” Mr. Early said when asked whether in address would be devoted largely to the home front or to the war in general.
There have been reports that Mr. Roosevelt was considering a major speech on home front matters, particularly the administration battle against inflation.
It was also possible that Mr. Roosevelt might discuss the general war situation tomorrow night, particularly in view of the “resignation” of Benito Mussolini.
