LOUISVILLE. Nv. 49, Around
the stables at Churchill Downs
today the rsilbirds raked the
ashes of the derby trial, but out
behind a barn which parallels
the back-stretch turn one of the
shrewdest trainers of the turf
peered through his steel-rimmed
glasses and chuckled with a
heartiness that belied his name.
Silent Tom Smith. the one
time rodeo rider who gave YOU

and Midland, gives you As win

Kentucky derby a raw-boned.

plucked out Of the Saratoga

The colt is Porter's Cap, q

has won his purchase price
almost a hundred times over. He

Saturday.

bling a few wisps Of gray stubble
on his chin. But IN tell you
that I've never sent horse into
a race in better condition that
we'll send Porter's Cap into the
derby.
Some trainers might have

but let's wait until Saturday and
settle that for ourselves"
While he watched the lanky
son of the Porter cool out with

strapping shoulders, Smith dis

II seems Howard marked a
Saratoga catalogue with the
horses he wanted to buy and

has the world in fear and terror,
but they also know that that must
not be the end They know that
the forces now mobiliZing in the
hands of the worlds millions of peo-
pie of good will must not only pre-
serve democratic institutions for
which they are now fighting, but
that this same power must be exert
ed to eliminate conditions which are
the effective denials of the democ-
racy that has given rise to these
forces for its defense. They insist
that we must eliminate the denialS
of the promises of the democratic
way of life.
Eager to Take Part.
I have just returned from a visit
to 18 States. I have seen the
worlds most powerful democracy in
sction-a united people turning to
the task of producing the vast
quantity of goods needed for the de-
fenSe Of democracy everywhere.
Primarily l went to see what is
happening to the young people of
this country under the tremendous
impact of the defense program. Two
convictions, reinforced by every
thing saw, now stand out in my
mind.
First, there is the conviction that
the young people of America are
eager to take their part. I feel as
if I have seen, talked to and been
part of the future of America, and
what I saw was good. Youth are
eager to work and eager to make
democracy work. If we deny them
this opportunity we will make a
terrible mistake.
The second conviction grows out
of the first. In spite of the progress
made, We are not doing all We can
to use the services OF these young
people. If we deny them the oppor-
tunity for useful work, If We fail to
spread that opportunity. we are
denying ourselves the services OF a
powerful and constructive force. Our
programs of giving them chance
are working in the right direction,
but they are not extensive enough
Compared with immense need for
qualified workers and with the large
number of unemployed youth still
available, our sights still are too low.
We have the method, the resources
and the plan. What We need is
more determination to stick to it
until the job is done.
There Is good reason to believe
that this is going to be done. 1t
seems to have been necessary for
the Nation to have become endan-
gered Of its very life for us to re-
store young people to a participating
part in our vital affairs-to allow
them to work for its strength and
security. I hope this will be true.
Evening star., 1941-09-16

work includes not only a defense
work experience program but also
the giving of work to 200 900 other
youth on projects varying from
building small school houses to
making garments for needy people.
In addition to this there is the
whole student work program which
provides work for 100000 students
in 1000 colleges and 1900 high
schools to enable them to continue
in school.
But all of this leaves youth with
two big problems: One is that we
are now running at the rate OF an
annual national income of about
$85, 900 ,0O0, 900 and still there are
hundreds of thousands of eager,
able youngsters to whom the gates
7 OF gainful employment are closed;
the other difficult situation is that
at the time We are desperately try
ing to give effective aid to those
forces struggling to defeat Naziism
and are in need OF every capable
hand We possess in this effort there
are around about us scores of hun
dreds OF thousands of young people
seeking eagerly to find some way
to make their young strong hands
capable and useful but who are not
being used. We simply must find
some. way to include them in this
effort.
This business of being included
in the effort for the defense and
security Of our country has come
to be q great privilege. This is
especially true in the case OF young
people. Youth senses that some
thing significant is happening to
men and women Of good will i'll all
parts of the world. They want to
be part of it. They sense that
paralleling the evil loosed upon man
kind there has occurred renais-
sance of the love of the good, and
that men are again proving their
willingness to make sacrifices-sac-
rifices Of their means, their time
yes, even of their lives-for the
good. They sense that there is a
great challenge in the world today, a
challenge for the good-an incred-
ible renaissance of the spirit. They,
like ourselves, sense it wherever
they 60. They feel 1t from the men
in the shops, from the crowds on the
streets, from the atmosphere on the
trains; they hear it in the voice OF
the President, in the speeches of
Churchill-and youth everywhere
want to be vital part Of 1t. They
feel In 1t something akin to q new
brotherhood Of man bound together
by an adherence OF the bestility and
brutality of the Axis war party. In
it they feel rising hope that means
for them q newer and freer world
for tomorrow. They know that they
must first destroy the evil that now
