 Withheld from Press

WASHINGTON, Nov. IT. - A formal conference today brought President Roosevelt and Japan's Special Envoy, Saburo Kurusu, to- gether for more than an hour as they talked of many things cen terinG around the explosive Far East situation. There was no indication immediately whether any satisfact- ory proeress was mede toward achieving better understanding of Pacific problems between this coun- try and Japan.
 Neither was it announced whether any decisions were approached which might lead to an assurance of continued peace on the Pacific.
 Kurusu was accompanied to the White House by Japanese Ambas- sador Nomura
 The two Japanese dodged ques- tions about the conversations. al- though the Ambassador reported many things" were said which he did not care to discuss.

Mine Workers Won't Support Shop
Lewis Tells Roosevelt that AQreement Would Harm
 Miners in Other Fields

WASHINGTON, Nov. IT. - John L. Lewis today informed President Roosevelt by letter that the United Mine Workers refused to accept an open shop agreement in the captive coal mines because it would "in- validate other agreements in opera tion throughout the soft coal min- ing industry.
 Lewis wrote the President that officers of the union have no auth ority to execute an open shop agree ment thereby destroying assets of the membership represented by ex- isting collective bargaining agree ments."
 The union shop is the sole issue in the dispute which eliminated in work stcppage in the captive mines.
 Lewis did not call at the White House as he was requested to do when the President asked Friday that negotiations be extended over the weekend in an eleventh hour attempt to halt the threatened shut down of the captive mines, which supply coal to 80 per cent of the na- tion's steel mills.
 Lewis told the Union Mine Work CTS policy committee that he blamed the present strife in the coal pits - '---------- - ------ TT -

The war of nerves between Japan and the United States and her po- tential allies attained full crisis pitch today, coinciding with break in the German-Russian conflict which apparently gave Germany the Caucasus approach she needed to keep her invasion on the move.
 Formally voiced demands that Japan be unrestrained in working out her program of dominance in East Asia's "co-prosrerity sphere" were accompanied by extraordinary British and Chinese preparations for the defense of Singapore and the rest of Malaga.
 Tension Is Great
 United States participation in this contest of nerves was markedly like that which preceded the war in Eur ope.
 The contest still is largely bound up with the opening of new phase of negotiations with Japan through Special Envoy Saburo Kurusu at Washington, but even before Kurusu held bis opening conversation with Secretary of State Cordell Hull this morning. previous to a conference -----------------

Gould Make Winners Out
Of StobIe of CrippIes

His first two horses, and the only
two which he talks about, were Bon
ME K and OReilley. Smith built
with his brother Jim. toured the
Prairie States of the West, moving
INTO town one day and out a few
days later with the major portion
of a purse and the sweet crinkle of
a good-sized winning wager in his
pockets.
Soon he was sought after to train
horses for others. Not fashionable
stables, but important enough for
Smith to earn in the course Of a
few years reputation as horse
man who could take stable Of Grip
pies and bring them back to winning
form.
1t was during this period that he
learned and resolved never to have
his own horses. but to train for
some one else He learned emphat-
ically because every time his horse
met up with a horse owned by his
employer, Smiths would win. This
would cause his term of employ
ment to be suddenly terminated, and
Silent Tom declares to this day that
it was his employer who insisted
upon the two horses meeting.
The emergence of Smith as ma
tional figure in racing was coinci-
dent with the rise of Seabiscuit.
Charles S. Howard of San Francisco
took Smith on and, more wisely than
he probably realizes, gave him a
completely free hand in the han
ding of the rather extensive How
ard racing stable.

Have TO Push Your Luck
To Get Places, Saws Tom

Still, through it all, Smith was re-
garded as just gypsy horseman
who knew lot about horses but
mostly was lucky. He admits he was
lucky and admits that Owner
Howard has been lucky, but he says
you have to have that element and,
more necessary, you have to push it
for yourself.
Smiths secret on training horses,
If it is a secret, can be revealed as
an intimate knoWlege of horse flesh.
He acquired that knowledge by liv-
ing with them and even today, rated
as one of the most successful horse
men in America, and consequently
financially untrouAed Smith spends
more hours than others with his
horses.
We asked him what he would like
to do most.
Train horses for Mr.. Howard, just
like I'm doing now, he said. And
If I didn't have that to do I think
I'd get myself not more than. three
horses and hit the circuit. A man
shouldn't have more than three if
he owns and trains them. You can
find out if they're any good and II
not get rid of them and pick up
something else. You don't have to
win a lot of races to make a go of
it with a small stable. Just send
them out fit in the right races and
you'll have enough money and a lot
of fun"

Born in Georgia, Spent Years
In Texus Cow Country

He was born in the hill country
of Georgia but typical American
urge soon prompted Smith to go
West. He spent years in the COW
country of Texas, with occasional
excursions of driving huge herds of
cattle to the markets in Kansas and
other central districts.
During those years Smith learned
a great deal about horses, particu-
larly horses that were tired and
physically sore from overWork. He
learned to tell by looking at horse
what allied it. and, more important,
how to cure it.
This knowledge stood him in good
stead when he felt a financial
pinch. He had an occasional quar-
ter horse, that famous breed of the
old West endowed with lightning
speed but only over a distance of a
quarter Of a mile. Smith, always
the one to let his horse do the
boasting by brilliant running, won
many bets.
1t was a perfectly natural evolu-
ton in Tom Smiths life to move
from the COW country to the racing
circuits of the West. He knew that
horses were more interesting than
COWS and he could do something with
them.
