In Jordan, where rabidly Arab-nationalist Palestinians comprise two-thirds of the population, wily Strongman Samir Rifai publicly proclaimed: "We support every effort to achieve this sort of union," then dashed for Saudi Arabia to urge King Saud to meet with Jordan's King Hussein and Iraq's King Feisal to form a counter-federation of the three kingdoms.

He has the support of the younger officers who carry most weight in the army, a strong point in his favor in case of opposition attempts to short-circuit a Cruz Salazar victory either before or after the fact. His slogan: "Neither left nor right...
