Approves Religious Unity

To the Editor of The Star:
In his letter printed in your February
IL issue, B. M. F. has made highly in
telligent suggestion. The formulation of
a universally acceptable religious creed
should be carried out as soon as pos
sible by a conference of the representa-
tives of all religious faiths.
Within the past Is years several world
movements have been spreading the
idea Of the one divine wisdom common
to all religions. Among them are the
Vedanta, the Bahai and the Sun move
ments. Originating in the East, they
have spread to the Western world, and
now have here great many sincere
members devoted to the ideal of wor-
Shipping the one God who is the object
of worship in all religions. They also
uphold and advocate the practice of the
ideal of human brotherhood based on
the truth of the common spiritual
fatherhood of God.
For any universal religious creed and
supplemental teaching to be effective
1t would have to be an expression of
divine inspiration yelling up from
hearts on fire with burning desire for
world brotherhood and the universal
worship Of God the father of ALL Such
is the central truth of all religions; and
it is the high goal toward which the
followers of the great present-day
world movements aspire.
However, if any such step as that
suggested by B. NJ F. should be taken
by representatives of all the established
orthodox religions, it could very we'll
become the instrument of Gods will in
uniting the children of earth in SYM
phonic worship of God, harmonizing all
the ways of worship held sacred by the
followers of the numerous faiths and
creeds of the world.
In the universal worship of the Sufi
movement all the worlds religions are
represented. and respect and homage is
paid to all the divinely inspired teach
ers of the whole humanity. I.B.

Daylight Saving Advocated

To the Editor of The Star:
To use threadbare phrase. spring
Is just around the corner" and I am
wondering If there is movement afoot
to again have daylight saving time this
year. 1t is my opinion that victory gar
dens are just as essential this year AS
they have ever been, and one hour of
daylight after work is of much help to
those working gardens.

In Manhattan Cap

NEW YORK, Sept. 25.-King
Ranchs triple crown winning AS
sault, who declined the issue in yes-
terday's Jerome Handicap against
horses OF his own age, makes his
first start against older luminaries
today in the 44th running of the
Manhattan at Belmont Park.
Trainer Max Hirsch withheld his
clubfoot comet from the Jerome
probably because the 1-mile distance
was a little short for him to warm
up properly. In the IL mile Man
haitian, Assault will be up against
nine "big horses" including such
standout handicap stars as Stymie
and Pavot.
Assault, Stymie and Pavot, the
name" horses in the field, all are
among the top 10 money winners
having accounted for more than
81, 10000 in earnings. II all 10 en-
tries go to post, the winners share
in this race will be S2O,550.
The favored Stymie has been as
signed top weight of l26 pounds
Assault will carry 116 and Pavot
121. Pavot, stablemate of Walter
M. Jeffords' Mahout, winner of the
Jerome, once won the Belmont

If only this trio were to start

First Year in Handicap.
Although Mrs. Mehan won the 49,
hole medal play handicap event
yesterday with a 94-15-79 at Co
lumbia Country Club, this is her
first year in handicap tournaments.
She said all women's competition on
foreign soil strictly was from

played In Gernia1ly by mixed team
just before the outbreak of the war.
The combined Polish American
team won and the Germans were

Redskins Todd Feels
No Different, Hopes
He Ism tSIowing Up
By Lewis F. Atchison

In a seizure of panic at seeing
Dick Todd hauled down from be-
hind by the Bears Hugh Gallarneau
at Baltimore last Sunday, some OF
us Immediately decided Lii Ole
Boy" had lost the swift that made
him the Redskins most valuable
scat back in prewar years. After
all, you don't often see dump trucks
pass midget auto racers-even ir
Baltimore.
Probably the guy who would know
most about it Is Todd himself, and
we caught up with him yesterday
at the Advertising Club luncheon
at which Chief George Marshall was
the guest speaker. The question
was, had the tanned Texan slowed
up, or down, and how could he
tell?
Feels No Different.
Il don't feel any different" he
replied after due consideration. plus
the moral support of a Dreaded
veal outlet. my legs seem as good
as ever, but I guess a fellow is
bound to slow up some in four years
You don't get any younger, you
know. But I'll tell you one thing
about Sunday sure was dawg
tired. My legs felt heavy. 1t was
like running through molasses, al
though l thought I was going all
the way. But I couldn't honestly
say whether I've slowed down enough
to notice II. I know I'm trying
as hard as ever"
Come to think of it, Todd did
play more than usual against the
Bears. The two-team system was
junked in his case and he was in
the game keeping an eye on big
Ken Kavanaugh defensively, and
hauling the hogshide himself when
the Skins had it. Normally a left
half, Todd was over on the other
side. where the absence of the in
jured Wilbur Moore and Bob De
Fruiter left the Tribe short handed
Coach Turk Edwards just laughed
when the matter was broached to
him.
IF Todd's slowed UP I wish the
same thing would happen to some
of our other backs. I'll settle for
the ball on the other teams 5-yard
| line every time and the runner
can take as long as he wants put
ting it there"
Moore Will Be Back.
Todd won't have to work as hard
Sunday against the Pittsburgh
Steelers in the Redskins first Off
cial National League appearance.
Wilbur Moore will be back on his
beat to help ward off any passes
Bill Dudley may throw, and Bob
De Fruiter will be ready for ball
carrying duty.
There seems to be some question
whether 'Tortilla" Eddie Saenz or
De Fruiter is the fastest man on
the squad, and this observer would
have to vote Tor De Fruiter, al
though it would be close. At any
rate both are fast enough to give
the Skins big lift against what
shapes up as Pittsburgh's best pro
team in recent years, and If either
gets out in front nobody is gonna
catch him.
For that matter there aren't
many rival backs who can catch
Todd, including Gallarneau, and
