Syrian immigrant cherishes U S freedom after 14 years
Theodore F. Boushy a Syria native and University of Oklahoma graduate student says Americans rarely grasp freedom, while immigrants understand tyranny. He came to the United States 14 years ago, learned English through work and night school, and plans to enter the ministry. He hopes to return as a missionary but not as a citizen. In Chungking, China, Japanese planes kept the capital under alarm for nine and a half hours, with 100 planes crossing and American mission property hit.
