Roosevelt to speak on radio next Friday
WASHINGTON (UP) – President Roosevelt will deliver a radio message to 350 Democratic Party Jefferson Day dinners Friday, April 13.
Democratic National Chairman Robert E. Hannegan said the address would be broadcast over all major networks and will conclude a 30-minute program between 9:30 and 10 p.m. EWT.
He said Mr. Roosevelt would be unable to attend the Washington dinner.
Jefferson Day diners in Pittsburgh will not hear Mr. Roosevelt’s broadcast because the local dinner is being held Wednesday. Mr. Hannegan and U.S. Sen. Francis J. Myers are the speakers. Funds will be used for headquarters and local campaign expenses.
