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.
