Kurusu Visit 10 i. ).
Shows Desire 10 End
Talks, Japanese Say
No Time Limit Set for
Concluding PorIeys,
Spokesman Asserts
Ey the Associated Press.

Ey the Associated Press
TOXIC, Nov. IA government
spokesman said today the dispatch
If Saburo Kurusu as special envoy
to Washington represented ia
pans earnest desire to bring the
talks with the United States to 8
conclusion as early as possible"
The spokesman, Koh Ishii, of the
Cabinet Information Bureau, said
however, he did not think any time
limit had been set for ending the
talks.
When his attention was called to
frequent newspaper declarations
that Japans final stand already
had been expressed to the United
States. and the question was asked
what tack Kurusu would pursue,
lshii said:
Maybe he will repeat again and
make more clear Japans attitude
Leaves Hong Kong.
Kmusu left Hong Kong early to-
day for Washington via Manila and
San Francisco by Clipper plane.
"A dispatch from Manila re-
ported KuruSu arrived there to-
day and visited briefly with High
Commissioner Francis B. Sayre
and President Manuel Quezon of
the Philippines.
He was guest at cocktail
party and dinner given later by
the japanese consul general. He
is scheduled to depart from
Manila aboard the Clipper at
dawn tomorrow
Ishii said he was unable TO reply
TO a question whether the envoy's
flight resulted from some American
initiative or was solely Japanese
inspired.
The newspaper ISahi said its New
York correspondent had telephoned
that the success of the talks is
about l in TO- Kurusu holds the
fate of war or peace"
The newspaper declared editorial
ly however. that while it was not
hopeless to try TO solve Far Eastern
problems peacefully. 1T should be
made clear that Japan won't pay
any price" or give up her national
ideals or program.
1t was reported that KuruSu was
carrying letter from Premier Gen.
Hideki TOTO to President Roosevelt,
but there was nothing to indicate
whether it was any more than a
formal letter for presentation &C
cording to protocol.
Hopes Road Will Be Closed.
1t. Col. Kunio Aklyama, Japanese
Army spokesman. told a press con-
ference that the army hopes the
Burma road to China will be closed
10 traffic as a result of KurusuS
trip. This, he said, would obviate
military action against China's last
lifeline.
The army has refrained from
attacking Yunnan Province through
which the road passes not only be-
cause of the difficulties of terrain,
but because it hoped supplies to
Chungking would be halted by diplo-
matte measures, he said.
Chinese forces are massing inside
the province frontier and Japanese
will counterattack if they make any
move, he asserted, although he ad-
mitted it would be difficult to main
tain communications and supply
lines.
He said the japanese Army was
invincible and there was no place
in East Asia it could not 60 If the

ment covering the deliberations of

Il was afraid an SOS would
attract other ships to the danger

afraid that if we used the radio
the attacker would shell us
The attacking craft either was a
submarine or a very small surface
boat, the captain said. but II bet my
last dollar she was SUBJ"
Ackerman, describing the attack
on the tanker during the dark,
moonless night of September 27-2s,
said:
Il was asleep when a torpedo hit
square amidships about 1915 am.
So were most of the other members
of the crew except group of nine
playing poker in the crews mess.
But we got topside in less than
five minutes and had two boats
oversize with II men in each in
less than 10 minutes.

Alderman said the lifeboats were
launched hastily because of fear
that the torpedo explosion would
set fire to the oi1-laden vessel.
There was not the slightest warn
ing of the torpedo attack, he de-
clared.
Alderman said the submarine
dived Immediately after the torpedo
struck, and just before the I. c..
Whites lifeboats were launched.
I'VE saw two lights clearly" he
added, land some of the crew men,
bers believe there were two subma-
rines."
Ackerman said the lifeboat in
which he and Is others finally pulled
away was at sea seven days.
Finally Picked Up.
We were rowing steadily west

night of October 3, when we were
about 10 miles off the Brazilian coast
we picked up the lights of the Del
Norte. We fired four rockets from a
! portable gun and she changed course,
came to the rescue and took us
aboard"
The port authorities who went
aboard the Del Norte said the sur
vivors of the I. c. White told them
the tanker was struck squarely
amidship by torpedo shortly after
midnight and that thereafter the
sinking vessel was shelled.
