Political Adv.

DREW PEARSON

Jew-Arab Politico Team
A Lesson to Oil' Despots
I Urge You to
Vote for Sam Saide

BY DREW PEARSON
A DINNER TOOK PLACE in Detroit the
other day which would have been a lesson
to Nasser, King Saud and other Arab leaders.
It was a dinner in honor of a Lebanese city
councilman of High-
land Park, Mich., Sam
Saide. A large number
of Arab friends of
Councilman Saide were
present, also a large
number of Jews.
The climaxe came
when toastmaster Wil-
liam Freedman, a Jew,
presented Sam Saide,
an Arab, with a glow-
ing introduction. Lead-
ers of the Arab states
should have been pres-
ent.
A lot of people think
politics is dirty busi-
Saide
ness. But at the De-
troit dinner I heard Councilman Saide give the
best description of politics I ever heard.
Saide is a man who worked his way np
from the precinct level. He said:
"Many good citizens abhor politics as a
dirty game and expect our vast, complex
government to run itself.. They wonder why
we stay in polities,
"Sometimes we wonder ourselves. But down
deep in our hearts we know. We know that
with the success of civil government politics
is a noble profession and the moral respons1-
billty of everyone who loves.his country. We
know that without strong, active, dedicated
politicians, from precinct worker to President,
we could not enjoy the benefits of our beloved
country for a week."

AS CAMPAIGN CHAIRMAN for Sam Saide in the
First District Congressional race I urge you to vote for
him because he's the most qualified man running. Let me
tell you why:
During these precarious times in which we live, we
need men who reflect the attitude of peace-maker and
clear thinking. While the others are
campaigning on mere slogans, my
candidate Sam Saide has set for his
goal a genuine 12-point platform,
which promises his full efforts to-
ward gaining peace and stability for
Israel. Here's what he recently stated
during a speech:
"I have sworn, if Tm elected,
that I would pressure the U.N. and
our own U.S. Congress to create a
permanent commission to effect a
permanent peace in the Middle
East, guaranteeing the stability and
sovereignty of Israel. The most
Freedman precious thing that has happened to
that part of the world, is the creation of the new nation.
It has been the mirror of democracy in a part of the
world whose people have been subjected to poverty
while oil kings grow richer by the second."
If you knew Sam Saide, as I have known him foi
years, you would know also that his words are full and
ripe with true intent. In Sam Saide we have the best
psychological means to effect this goal.
You can help by voting for him for Congress in the
First District.
