...wealthy, quadrilingual (Arabic, French, English, Turkish), landowner and industrialist, is one of Syria's most bizarre figures. He was Premier under the despised Vichy government, later became known as "the Red millionaire" for negotiating a $300 million Soviet-Czech arms deal as Defense Minister in 1957, yet managed to retain wide popularity...
Expanding Horizons. For all of Europe's managers the Common Market has rolled back horizons. A Ruhr industrialist, who a few years ago entertained foreigners only on formal occasions, now thinks nothing of inviting a clutch of executives from other Common Market nations to drop by for cocktails. West German Electrical Magnate Ernst von Siemens flatly declares that any executive who hopes to rise in his company must first cut the mustard in a Siemens branch abroad.

Next step would be to persuade the Civil Aeronautics Board and the White House that one big U.S. carrier is necessary to withstand the competition of heavily subsidized state-owned foreign airlines. A shadow over the possible TWA-Pan Am combination is the attitude of elusive Industrialist Howard Hughes, who was forced by creditors in 1960 to put his 78.2% ownership of TWA in trust and is now trying to win back voting control through a suit he has in the courts. He would hardly cheer a merger in which he did not have the principal...
