Unity of the Human Race

1t was cat least to this writer
thinking) most fitting-in fact
unique, in that a cross section OF
h i n k ga coordination of
thoughts on the general theme
The Unity of the Human Race. -
was discussed by a Catholic Priest.
Protestant pastor and a Jewish
Rabbi, at the baccalaureate serv-
ices for graduates of Commerce
and Lincoln high schools at Com
merce auditorium Sunday June ,.
Subtopics on the theme were.
What the Old Testament Has 70
Say on the Unity of the Hume n
Race" was by the Rev. Thomas
J. Tobin; What the New Testa-
ment Has to Say the Rev. Paul
S. Wright; What America Has to
Say" Rabbi Henry j. Berkowitz.
Father Tobin said among many
things, 1T is difficult to think
and act normally in a world that
is unnormal. The need is so great
for a creed-a social creed TO
withstand the western strain"
Searching Old Testament history
and laws, the speaker said: mo
where do we find a division in the
human race-family. We are all
one through the brotherhood of
man and fatherhood of God. These
trues are as old as the first book
in the Old Testament" The
speaker admonished this group of
at least 200 graduates to study
this picture consider labor and
housing in terms of justice for all
people. As you go out-out in to
the world, do something about
these things"
Rev. Wright said: "The New
Testament never challenged the
Old Testament. Rather the Old
was brought into the New-a CO.
ordination of mankind-Jewa and
Greek-bond and free. The def
milton is brought out in motives.
The Old and New Testaments both
teach unity of human races"
Rabbi Berkowitz summed up
what America has to say by say
ing American faults grieve us
greatly. They are black pages
upon the history of the American
people. Under the American flag
and constitution We are divided
racial barriers surmount-but un-
der God we are one people" To
the grads he said: by your good |
lives and fine training act and
think wisely"
At other baccalaureate services
and graduation exercises caps and
gowns was also the mode. Among
the thousands from the various
schools we are proud to knew that
several are our own girls and
boys who having completed Gin
most cases with honors) their
scholastic training, ready now to
launch out in pursuit of even
higher education. Among these
are from Washington high, Ber-
nice Banks and Doris Jennings.

MONTREAL, Aug. 3.-A fast

whelmed an Eastern Canadian squad
at McGill Universitys Molson sta

Ransom Retains Lead

Battle With Little
BY the Assoeioted Press

ST. PAUL, MINI, Aug. 3.-Henry
Ransom of Houston, Tex, retained
his leadership of the st. Paul sl0,-
600 Open today by turning back a
scoring drive by Lawson Little,
burly Monterey (Calif.) pro. that
produced the Journeys best score
so far, IS.
Once again it was a battle of sub
par rounds as Ransom finished to-
day with a 5-under-par 81 for a
54-hole total of 202. Littles IS,
combined with a 1873 previously
counted, put him just one stroke
away from Ransom.
Ransom and Little ended the day
with four stroke or better lead
over their nearest competitors
Clayton Haefner of Charlotte, N. c.,
Dick Metz of Chicago and Johnny
Palmer of Badin, N. C. Metz carded
a 10 today for a 207 total, matched
by Haefner with 10, while Palmer
had a IL.

Thus Palmer, the virtually un-
known pro who previously had
turned in the best score of the meet

which will go to the low scorer at
the end of tomorrow's 10 holes OF

INGLEWOOD, Calf, Aug. s.
Historian tied Man o Wars world
record for the mile and five-eighths

Handicap, closing day feature of
the Hollywood Park meeting. The
big 5-year-old gelding travelled the
distance in 2:400 to win going
away from Paperboy and Triplicate.
Man O. War established the record
on September 4, 1920, at Belmont

Historian was always right on
the pace, even though he allowed
War Valor. 45-to-1 shot, to open
up five-length lead as the field
turned into the back stretch. Down
the backstretch, however, the sturdy
bay gelding by Lawren-Mea took
command, drew out as they made
the far turn. and was complete
master down the stretch. He won
by five lengths and wasn't breath
ing hard as they brought him into
the winners circle.
Triplicate had no excuses. He
couldn't match the pace at all and
Nanby Pass was gaining on him for
the show. Paperboy, gallant g.
year-old, ran a beautiful race with
his light weight Of l10 pounds as
against Historians 121. He made a
bold move on the far turn and as
he came into the stretch it ap-
peared for an instant that he might
overtake Historian. The winner
picked up speed, however, and the
two were five lengths apart
through the stretch.
The victory was worth $37,l50 to
