Morono Fears COP Defect

Stratford, May g (UP) = Gov. R. E. Baldwin received an- other" run again" plea today, this time from Albert P. Morano, sec- retary to Rep. Glare Boothe Luce.
 Morano said, If all our big leaguers, Governor Baldwin, Rep. Joseph E. Talbot and Mrs. Luce. are off the ticket this year the Repub- lican Party in Connecticut may go down to defeat, in which case hopes of the party nationally winning control of the House and Congress will go 'glimmering.
 If Mrs. Luce submitted to the draft, which incidentally has not yet been presented to her, our dis trict would be safe. If, in addition, MT. Baldwin were drafted for gov- ernor or Senator, the fight would be over"

Ad-daleel., 1946-05-08

On August II, in the year of our Lord
1918, q son was born to the family OF Mr..
& Mrs. Edward Koury in Creston, Wash.
A son who later moved on to Detroit
where he was raised amidst the same en-
vironments Of our own youth.
He attended the Hutchinson Grammer,
Southeastern High and Wayne University,
wherein his schooling was completed,
After this educational phase of life, he
chose to merge his knowledge with that OF
his fathers, and became his partner in
managing the famous Rainbow Inn, out on
Detroit's East Side.
He spent his leasure hours at the Y. M.
C. A., as a rule, and was we'll known throu'
ghout the city, we'll liked and one of the
many Regular Guys" of Syrian Lebanese
heritage who went on to glory in this past
conflict.
When war broke out, he attempted to
enlist but was refused, due to his medical
unfitness. However, he was of stout heart
and so, undertook a serious hernia opera
ton to enable him to pass the physical re-
quirements of the service.
He recovered from this operation and
hardly a well man, when on Jan. 7th, he
enlisted into the u. S. Air Corps.
Fort Custer, Sheppard Field for his basic
training, then on Feb. 9th, a little over a
months service, he was shipped overseas
to the South Pacific with the Fifth Air
Force"
Those of you can well remember the i'm
portant part the 9Th Air Force played in
the early stages of the war as they stood
defiant with but a SHELTON fleet of Air
Planes.
Ad-daleel., 1946-05-08

For II Mos, he fought at various posi-
tons aboard planes in the defense of the
country he chose to serve.
His abilities and herOism were acknOw'
lodged to the extent Of receiving the Dis.
tinguished Flying Cross, with Oak Leaf
Clusters, the Air Medal, with Oak Leaf
Clusters and the Purple Heart.
However, this was but a part of his
mission he chose to volunteer to take the
Serving under General McAurthur, as
did his father before him in World War 1,
in the Rainbow Division, he served his last
mission for his country.
"On July II, in 1943, 200 miles away
from his base, his ship made a forced lam
ding; the crash that followed ended the
lives of this gallant crew and one of our
first S~yrian-Lebanese heroes. CHARLES
J.. KOURY."
Charles did not have to serve, he went out
of his way and undertook a serious opera
ton to do so. Nor was he required to make
this fatal mission, he volunteered.
It is men like CHARLES L. KOURY,
who made our victory possible, and we
should feel proud to be of the same heri,
tage.
There are many not of Syrian,Lebanese
origin who are friends of this heroic sol
der and in his honor have formed the
"CPL. CHARLES KOURY, V. F. w. POST
1883"
This honor to one of our own blood is
symbolic of his character and the remem'
berance of his n~eighborhood friends.
They have not stopped at this, for alrea,
Ad-daleel., 1946-05-08

dy a site has been purchased and plans
drawn towards the erecting of a memorial
home, to house the members of the "CPL.
CHARLES KOURY POST.
To his survivors, his father Edward,
Mother SimOne, sisters Marie and Amelia,
his brother Edw. Jr., and to the friends
who have mourned this loss of so great a
friend, let it be known that this supreme
tragedy is felt by we of the Guide and
members of the A. S. l.. A.
Much has been said in tribute to this
hero, and our words would but vainly at,
tempt to praise his heroism, which cannot
be accorded sufficiently, in any phase of
literature.
His valor, his sacrifice, shall remain in
our hearts; as we shall never forget our
heroes, and among them CHARLES L.
KOURY.
Ad-daleel., 1946-05-08

we, VINO speak the ARABIC tongue, have
many reasons to feel proud of our race as
Syrians or Lebanese. However, in recent
world issues, it is well hat we clarity a few
facts.
Though we speak the Arabic Tongue, we
are definitely not of the Arabic race. We are
Of Syrian and Lebanon heritage, and to those
outsiders, whose knowledge Of this is nil, we
convey this truth.
We also feel the same resentment towards
-he -nsubordinate actions of the Arabs over
The Palestine situation, as any other decent
American whose mind does not dwell in the
narrower channels.
This controversy over what race belongs in
Palestine is utterly stupid and it's arguments
are voiced by those who will not concede the
needs of the times; nor will they allow them
selves to take an adult outlook on this grave
dilemma.
There are millions of refugees roaming the
earth, who are homeless and in drastic need
of refuge.
Many are returning to their original home
steads and in the Jewish situation, where
else can they return but to PALESTINE?
For who has more right than these Jewish
refugees, who underwent such horrible an
Inhalation and persecution during the past
grave conflict?
AS Mecca, symbolizes the home of the
Moslem Religion, and is accepted the world
over as the citadel, housing the Arabs; so, is
the historical state of Palestine accepted
down through history as the revered home
of the Jewish Race.
Who has not heard of KING SOLOMON,
DAVID. or the founder of all churches,
JESUS CHRIST? And pray tell me, in what
surroundings were their environments?
Palestine has housed the Jew since the
days preceding the time Of Our Lord, except
ing of course, when they were, as now, un-
mercifully prosecuted and massly deported.
The Ango-American Inquiry Committee
has gone far, m only after a thorough re-
search, in preparing a joint inhabitance Of
Palestine. It's control would fall under the
jurisdiction Of the u. N. o.
This committee, after consulting leaders Of
various religions in Palestine and the sur
rounding countries, also the plights and needs
of both parties concerned, are in the position
to decide upon an accurate and most helpful
solution.
The Arabs want complete control and no
Jews. This is absurd and p~rejudiced on their
part, for they nave more than enough terri
tory to house their nation, whereas the Jew
has no other place to 60, other than their
rightful domain.
If the Arab would spend more time towards
achieving a higher economic and educational
standard he'd soon realize the futility of such
age-old hostilities.
