...Canal "under certain conditions," Hussein said little that he had not been saying for months. The Arabs were willing to recognize Israel's right to exist, but not necessarily to recognize Israel. They wanted a "just and lasting peace" but not a formal peace treaty. And before any settlement could even be considered, Israel must withdraw its troops from occupied Arab lands. At one point, the King even seemed to harden the Arab line: before the Arabs accepted Israel as a peaceful neighbor, he told his Georgetown audience, the land would have to be "de-Zionized"-renounce its status...
...There will be no major development of this economy until our territory is returned," says Minister Nusseibeh. "How can we plan intelligently when we don't know how big Jordan will be?" All of Jordan is thus at a standstill, waiting and hoping that some sort of political settlement can be reached with Israel for the return of the West Bank, in whole or in part...
After 34 hours of round-the-clock bargaining, negotiators for the United Auto Workers and Chrysler Corp. one night last week reached weary agreement on a new contract-less than four hours before the strike deadline.

The smallest of the Big Three automakers has been enjoying a sales spurt fueled partly by the strike at Ford. Last month was Chrysler's best October ever-and only by averting...
Though agreement came in time, many workers had begun to walk off the job five days before the deadline, and their numbers continued to grow even after the settlement was announced. The unauthorized work stoppages finally closed down Chrysler's auto-assembly operations, though company officials hoped to resume production this week. The walkouts were caused by the same sort of unresolved local work issues that kept Ford shut down for two weeks after it agreed on a nationwide contract. Ford finally went back into production only last week...
Chrysler's 95,000 workers seemed likely to ratify their national settlement. Under the terms, the $4.64 an hour the average worker now gets in wages and benefits would rise over a three-year period by almost a dollar, virtually the same increase agreed on at Ford. Beyond that, U.A.W. Boss Walter Reuther and his aide Douglas Fraser won some extras, notably a Chrysler commitment to raise the wages of its 11,000 Canadian workers over the next 30 months to the same level as those of U.S. workers, who now earn an average 34? an hour more...
