midnight for his Hyde Park home tc
enjoy weeks rest.
The 'fireside chat" is to be heard
over all three national networks. The
White House has given no hint as to
what the President will discuss. ex-
cept to say he will toucn upon at least
six important subjects.
The impression is that the President
Will conf1ne himself to domestic mat
tiers. He has already said he is de-
sirous Of giving the Nation an account
ing OF his recent journey to the Pacific
Northwest just as he did more than a
year ago after his inspection trip to
the Western dust bowl.
Among the major legislative subjects
which the President probably will
touch upon are crop control. hours and
wages, the administration program
for regional resources planning and
redistribution of population. Govern
ment reorganization and possibly his
ideas for reorganizing the Federal
judiciary.
The President is known to have
taken great pains in writing tonight's
address. He completed a rough draft
Sunday and worked upon it until after
midnight last night. The speech is
expected to run about 5000 words
and may consume more than the sc
minutes originally allotted him. The
President will speak from the diplo-
matte reception room on the basement
floor OF the White House and within
an hour will be on his way to Union
Station to board the special train
which will get him to Hyde Park be-
fore breakfast tomorrow.
Budget Mention Likely.
Mr.. Roosevelt may have something
to say relating to the budget estimates
for the next fiscal year. The second
preliminary budget figures are about
ready, and it has been announced
that publication will be made next

These figures are being anticipated
