FDR May Discuss Half Dozen Things
Washington, Oct. 12.-(P)-President Roosevelt's "fireside chat." tonight probably will touch on a half dozen subjects, it was said at the White House, but their nature was not disclosed.
Guesses as to the principal topic ranged from foreign affairs to the federal budget, but most observers believed Mr. Roosevelt would announce an extra session of congress for the middle of next month to deal with the agricultural problem.
The president's speech, to be broadcast nationally at 8:30 p. m., (CST) will be his tenth "fireside chat" since he entered the White House March 4, 1933. It will be delivered from the executive mansion shortly before Mr. Roosevelt leaves for Hyde Park, N. Y., on an overnight train.
Belief that the president would discuss the crop situation and a special session of congress was based largely on the nature of his talks during his recent journey to the west coast.
It was accentuated by the latest crop reports-Friday's forecast of the second biggest cotton yield in American history-and Monday's general forecasts for bumper harvests in the big grain crops.
The agriculture department estimated the year's wheat production at 886,895,000 bushels, an increase of 1,000,000 bushels over the prospects a month ago and 260,000,000 bushels above last year's yield.
The anticipated corn crop of 2,561,936,000 bushels, if the figures prove correct, will be 1,032,000,000 bushels above last year and 11,000,000 bushels above last month's prospects.
