Between election and consecration had occurred several slips whose full import was understood only by U. S. Syrians. Samuel David, 43, emigrated from Syria to Toledo 15 years ago. He smokes costly Turkish cigarets, drives a big Packard, and when the votes were counted in Manhattan after last autumn's stormy election, Samuel David was at hand.
