into Biblical phraseology; even more frequently than did Lenin. But the delegates agreed that man like Stalin had not made a mere slip of the tongue. They pointed out that a controversy had broken out in the United States regarding the Soviets attitude toward religion. President Roosevelt had been under fire for saying the Soviet constitution guar anteed freedom of religion.
 The delegates believed. therefore, that Stalln's toast was aimed at the United States. but at the United States president instead of the American public. Stalin knew that 1t would be repeated by the dele- gates In their report to Mr. Roose- welt, and it was surmised by the delegates that he wanted to let MT. Roosevelt know what he had said.

1, One toast was to Maj. Al Harvey and Lieut.. Lou Reichers, U. s. army fliers who carried the delegates to Moscow. Stalin asked them to stand up and, leaving his seat, he shook hands with them.
 Stalin's hair is gray and beginning to turn white. He is only five feet, six inches in height. He is 63 years old but delegates said he seemed as strong as ever and put in a long working day, beginning at 6 p. m. and lasting until dawn on many oc- casions.
 He has a retentive memory and delegates said that he seemed to be able to meet technical experts on their own ground. Harry Hopkins, Lord Beaverbrook and w. Averell Hartman discovered that he could discuss all of the latest technical developments of guns, tanks am d planes.

 port to Tokyo regarding their con- versatlon of two hours and 46 min- utes with Hull yesterday.
 Two or three points on general principles raised by Hull were re. ferred to Tokyo for advice and new instructions,
 While everything remained in . preliminary stage, there was Q eau. tlous feeling of optimism on both sides.
 Optimism Tempered
 The optimism was tempered, how ever, by realization that past efforts have not been successful,
 It was said that the talks which began Monday after the arrival of Saburo Kurusu, Japan'S special aiis bassador, were Of Q more hopeful trend than the preceding converse. tions between Secretary of State Cordell Hull and the regular aEl- baSyador, Admiral Klchisaburo No- nura,
 It was agreed, however, that the talks had not reached point where the outcome could be forecast, Some of the Issues which proved to be points of disagreement in the pre- vious conversations have not yet been reached.
 Both President Roosevelt and Secretary Hull expect to hold furs ther conferences with Kurusu and Nomura.
 The Japanese conferees retired after yesterdays talk of two hours and 46 minutes with Hull, one of the longest conferences recalled by old timers ct the State Department, to discuss the matter among them. selves and also to cable Tokyo.
 The understanding was that Hull would be ready to receive them whenever they desired.
 pr. Hu Shih, the Chinese am. bassador, was a caller ct the State Department late yesterday, giving rise to reports that Hull might have wished to place before China some of the points involved. It was learned, however, that the appoint. ment was made at Illus request and was not directly connected.
 Japan Keeps Active
 Tokyo, Nov. l9. = (Up) - The Domei Japanese News Agency re. ported today that one Russian was killed and two captured in a clash with Japanese troops along the Sib- erian border about 30 miles from Manchouli.
 The Domei report claimed that the clash occurred after Soviet forces crossed the frontier,
 Manchouli is the western outpost of Manchuria. Recurrent border skirmishes between Japanese and Russian forces have often been re- ported in this area.
 The Domei report said the clash occurred Sunday when three Rus- sian cavalryman crossed the frontier to reconnoiter Japanese positions.
 The Manchukuo government, said Domei, protested to the Soviet con. sulate at Harbin yesterday.
 The Donei report said that since the Russian cavalrymen were en- gagged on @ military mission 1t was impossible that there was any mis- take" in their crossing of the front fer.

Roosevelt Withholds
 All Direct Actions
Continued from Page D

Roosevelt gave O green light in Q conference with legislative leaders yesterday.
 The program calls for legisla- ton that would:
 i. Give statutory authority to the defense mediation board and power to order 6 30-day cooling off" per. iod before . strike could Do called in defense industries.
 2. Prohibit strikes that are not authorized by . majority of the union involved after Q secret vote under government supervision.
 The administration leaned Q com. promising ear to proposals to out law violent picketing,
 The program eventually will take form in Q eill sponsored by Chair man Mary T. Norton, D., N. !, of the labor committee.
 House leaders worked hard Co hold the lid on congressional un- rest over the Presidents handling of defense strikes.
 The advocates of stern action against all labor interference with defense production were confident of enough votes in the House to pass drastic legislation. They were not sure that sentiment would be SO overwhelmingly on their side two weeks from now, when congressional leaders reported the president would be ready for action.
 It is possible for the strong action forces to bring . showdown at any moment by calling up the Vinson compulsory mediation bill, which has been on the speakers table since last June.
 House leaders asked the rules committee for c rule that would send the price control bill to the floor for consideration next Mon- day.
 That would definitely delay con- sideration of the labor issue until 6 week from Monday, after the Con. greSs of Industrial Organizations convention has adjourned and the president has had an opportunity to dispose of the captive mine dis- pute.
 The strong-actlon bloc was who'll ly dissatisfied with the administra- tion's program.
 In the Senate, Sen. Tom Connally D., Tex, announced he would start judiciary subcommittee hearings Friday on his bill to empower the government to take over struck plants. The Senate passed a similar measure earlier in the session but the House killed 1t.
 Railway Strike
 (By United Pregs)
 President Roosevelt scheduled a second conference today with repre- sentatlves of Railroads and Railway Brotherhoods and appeared to be following policy of "watchful wait- ing" in the captive mine strike for a closed shop.
 Tn its third day, the walkout from steel company-o coal mines was growing more effective. The union predicted all of the struck pits would be closed today. In addition, some commercial mines were closed because 1000 employees left their jobs in sympathy walkouts.
 Although President Roosevelt was reported ready to "crack down" to reopen the mines. sources close to the administration said he hoped to avoid precipitous action. They said he had been strongly advised" against army seizure.
 No developments were reported yesterday after the presidents ini. tial conference seeking to avert Q nationwide railroad strike. The unions have rejected the wage rec- concentrations of the presidents Gact-finding board.
