On radio at 10:00 p.m. Saturday –
Roosevelt will explain his message to Congress
President to discuss foreign policy and possibly manpower situation
Washington (UP) –
President Roosevelt will summarize his annual message to Congress in a Saturday night broadcast over all major networks from 10:00 to 10:30 p.m. ET.
Mr. Roosevelt told his news conference that he was preparing a message of about 8,000 words to be delivered to Congress tomorrow afternoon. The broadcast version will be less than half that long.
The message will touch on several foreign policy matters as well as on possible manpower draft moves, Mr. Roosevelt said.
One foreign policy issue to be discussed, he said, will be the shipment of additional war materials to France, which has indicated consistently that it desires to play a greater part in the war.
The message to Congress, Mr. Roosevelt said, would be unconscionably long – about 8,000 words. It will be read to Congress by clerks about 2:00 p.m.
‘Big Three’ to meet after Jan. 20
Washington (UP) –
The “Big Three” meeting between President Roosevelt, Prime Minister Winston Churchill and Marshal Joseph Stalin will be held sometime after Jan. 20, Mr. Roosevelt said today.
The time and place, he added, depend a good deal on what he called ice conditions.
Yielding only slightly in his reticence about plans for the parley, the President told his news conference, when asked if a date had been set, that the answer was yes and no.
It will be after Jan. 20, he said, and made his cryptic remark about ice conditions.
Mr. Roosevelt indicated, moreover, that the secrecy which surrounded the historic Casablanca and Tehran meetings of the United Nations’ leaders would prevail at the forthcoming conference.
