More than a hundred shouting reporters and photographers pushed aside his tommy-gun-waving guard and crowded around Iraq's boss to hear Aref speak freely about the aims and purposes of the new government. He said something about an end to one-man rule, friendship with all Arab states, and the "overcoming of all the difficulties facing the Iraqi people."

They have the advantage over U.S. firms of smaller overhead, lower wages and heavy government subsidies for strictly commercial planemaking. The French Caravelle and to a lesser degree the British Comet and Viscount and the Dutch F-27 Friendship have made some inroads into what used to be almost an exclusively American market. There may be more important inroads soon. Pan American is quietly negotiating with Britain's Hawker Siddeley to buy at least 40 DH-125 jets, which it intends to man with its pilots and lease...
