Airily, he put up collateral for a $200,000 loan for the striking A.F.L.-C.I.O. flight engineers of Eastern Air Lines-why shouldn't flight engineers be added to Jimmy's dream of a Teamster-dominated joint transport council?

...this has led to speculation that Indonesia is about to become the seventh Eastern nation in recent months to have a general take power. But will he? In a speech to military cadets last month, Nasution said: "The army will take the middle way. Military leaders, as individuals, can participate actively by contributing their services . . . on the highest levels, as in the financial, economic and other fields.
