Something entirely new in golf
handicapping at many of the coun-
try clubs around Washington is
coming up this year, at the instance
of the Maryland State Golf Associa-
ton. Frank E. Mirth of Indian
Spring, chairman of a handicap
committee of the association for the
Washington area, has called meet
ing of handicap and golf chairmen,
golf pros, and others at Kenwood
next Friday to go over the angles
of the new system which will set
up an above-par rating for many of
the country clubs located in Mary
land.
The new system, to be used in all
Maryland State events, is based on
the system successfully used for
many years by the Chicago District
Golf Association. Basica1ly it in
solves method by which the play
of the individual golfer is charted
according to his current degree of
skill, although in the present case
a beginning will be made on the

Chevy Chase with a par of SO, Co.
lumbia with par of 10, and Con-

3 High Court Justices,
OF Different Faiths,
Ask Racial Tolerance

Three justices of the Supreme
Court. all of different religious be-
liefs, joined today in urging under
standing between racial groups and
stamping out of intolerance.
Chief Justice Stone and Associate
Justices Frankfurter and Murphy
made their plea in observation Of
American Brotherhood week, "
which begins Sunday and is spon-
sored by the National Conference of
Christians and Jews. An effort is
being made to raise $4,000, 900 to be
used in achieving better under
standing between groups.
These are times Of shifting
standards and moral confusion .
Chief Justice Stone said. THAT
this is true is due, more than all
else, to the fact that mankind, de-
spite its long and painful struggle
up from barbarism, is not yet ready
to accept in its fullness the ultimate
truth that there can be no civilized
society, there can be no peace or
happiness among men, without free
dom of the spirit and the mind for
all men,"
Justice Frankfurter declared: III
one faith can be said to unite a
whole nation, surely the ideal that
holds us together beyond any other
is our belief in the moral worth OF
the comman man, whatever his race
or religion"
Justice Murphy said: "Our Ma
ton has been built upon democratic
principles. One of these principles
is that each among us is to be
treated as a human being without
regard to the land from which his
forefathers came. his racial back
ground, his creed. We should not
think of ourselves as Jews or gen.
tiles. We are Americans.
