Dear Mr.. Rayess:
I certainly am happy to learn through your
newspaper that your thoughts are with the
young Syrian generation by wanting to print
a section in English.
May | use myself as a example. Although
my parents speak the Syrian language very
huently, I neglected to learn it when I was
younger, but | am trying to put forth an effort
to do so now. My parents translate your news
items to me which are quite interesting. But,
Mr.. Rayess, how much more interesting and
enjoyable it would be to read for oneself the
news printed in English.
So | say thank you as one out of many
whom ! an sure will thank you for this new
attraction in your very timely and interesting
newspaper. May allah bless you with conf
dence that an English section would be a con-
tribution to the further development of
younger Syrians everywhere.
I wish you the greatest success in your
new undertaking.
Respectively,

The ancient prayers arise to heaven
From affairs golden dome;
Through window vents of tinted ~leaven;
AS in far Syrian home.
O words sublime with Faiths own dover
A challenge to all earthly power.
-
And on it every seasons sun
In mystic glory shines.
The rays across the Icons run
In gold and crimson lines;
The same within this western land
AS where Lebanon cedars stand.
And here before it's sacred fame
The devout. heads are bowed
Of those who seek our Saviour's way
Before His altar proud;
Behold again a Faith sublime
Triumphant over Space and Time!

CENERAL EISENHOWER'S first " victory was to win the hearts of his own soldiers and the British soldiers and people. He established his headquarters in an old reno- vated London apartment building which was quickly dubbed "EiSen- hover Flat"
 His simplicity and his devotion to his fellow men, his intimate touch With the common man, gave him somewhat the character of Lincoln. One Britisher" remarked, We call him Ike, but there's 0 lot of Abe in him."
 The maiptenance of goodwill with the British Allies the general considered of paramount impor- tance. When rumors were mali- ciouSly circulated to the effect that there was trouble between the Royal Air Force and the United States Air Forces, the general called in re-. porters and declared, ''Time Is short and United States soldiers must be trained to stand the most rigorous operations. I am not asking you to take what I say because l might be wrong and mlSht even lie to you, but l want you to 90 around and see for yourself whether there is any friction between the R. A. r. and our Air Force. If there Is one place where cooperation and cellabora. ton is perfect, 1t is between the R, A. r. and the United States Air Force"
 With tremendous responsibilities on his shoulders, working day and night with indefatigable energy, dealing with his hundreds and thou- sands of problems, he found time to act as 0 diplomat to both his troops and to the British.

Men and machines halted Go pledge allegiance as Q tiny flNg was hoisted Go Q spllntered stan in front of the Governors House. x
 Instead of as stars, the flag un- furled at Agafa had iS. Instead of iS stripes the little flag he'd nino, 10 had been made by 6 Chamorro Betsy Ross ln e cave on Chonito Ridge during the pre-invaslon bombing. It had been waved Go size nal Marine flyers that these cliff dwellers of Guam were loyal Amer lean nationals.
 The flag was presented to Major General Allen Hal Turnage, com mandlng the Third Marine Division by attractive 25-year-old Maria Guevara Arceo a former resident of Agana, who fashioned it from strips of cotton cloth on Q manually oper- ated sewing machine. When Maria QuevafA Arceo crossed the Marine lines she brought with her the flag, the sewing machine, Q COW, and l2 Agana children.
 City In Ruins
 With Miss Arceo, the youngsters attended the ceremony. They rec turned to their native city sadly and silently, for Agana's charm lay sprawled in ruins before them. Lopped.otf palm trees, skeletal buildings, and broken walls webbed with hibiscus were oil that re. mained of the shelled capital of Guam.
 Major General Turnage was acc coFnpanied at the ceremony by Brig adler General Alfred II. Noble his executive ofilcer: Major General Roy 8. 0reiger, commanding tho Third Amphibious Corps, and Rear Admiral R. L. Connolly, .. s. N., commanding 0uani's Southern Task Force.
 Colors were sounded by Corporal James V. Harvey, 90, of 1901 Pike avenue, Little Rock, Ark. The color guard comprised members of the military police. Also participat. ing in the ceremony were Q detail of Seabees attached to the Third Ma rine Division, and four DevlidogS and their handlers.
 Following the ceremony Major General Turnage thanked each of the Chamorro children individually. To Miss Arceo he said, My name Is Allen Turnage."
 My name is Maria 0uevara Ar. ceo," she answered. They shook hands.
 Overhead "grasShoppers" of an aerial observation squadron circled Chonito Ridge, ferreting out artll. lery targets. North of Agana, the guns boomed. The brief ceremony concluded, the tanks, half-tracks, ammunition, and Marines con. tinued past the Plaza on their way to the front.
