In the wake of formation of the United Arab Republic
(shaded) by Egypt, Syria and Yemen, a second Arab camp
is being pitched, by oil-wealthy Iraq and penniless Jordan.
Their two kings, Iraq's Feisal and Jordan's Hussein, cousins,
have initiated talks on the subject. If the union jells, Saudi
Arabia might join. Also, if it jells, Iraq would leave the
Bagdad pact, formed against Communism. The ultimate
result would be two "Arab leagues," distrustful of each other.
- And snaking through it all are the pipelines which carry
oil for Europe.
