Giving Ground. Germany's aircraft industry itself can hardly hope to take off vertically. Part of its trouble is that the Bonn government, afraid of seeming warlike, has until recently refused to subsidize new plane development...
...embarrassing way of cropping up to haunt officials in high places. Often they are gleefully generated, replete with whiffs of Zyklon B gas and the ring of SS jack boots, by East Germany's Communist propagandists, who hold the most comprehensive set of Third Reich records. Frequently the Bonn government ignores the East German charges-and rightly so, for many of them are phony. But now and then, Bonn has been guilty of undue laxity. Not so last week, when two more ghosts loomed up from history. This time Chancellor Ludwig Erhard dispatched them with speed and firmness...

German firms, he feels, have a special advantage in sensitive new nations, because Germany has not been a colonial power since World War I. German firms also benefit from the self-interested way in which Bonn hands out foreign aid. Hochtief got a leg up for the big Abu Simbel project by winning a smaller, but highly important contract to move an ancient temple at Kalabsha that was also threatened with flooding from the Aswan dam. Hochtief won that contract last year after Bonn lent the Egyptians...
