Behind the new moves to combine is Duncan Sandys, Britain's Minister of Aviation, who has proposed merger as the only way for the industry to regain its strength and avoid costly duplication of planes and missiles. What made de Havilland, also sought as a partner by Vickers-Armstrongs, so attractive is the fact that it manufactures the Comet, Britain's only commercial pure jet, and has a major share of Britain's missile industry. De Havilland also has orders from British European Airways for 24 of its new short-range jet, the D.H. 121. De Havilland...

Still, the great divide dominates. The CCA used to have a one-man edge. It lost that several years ago, but feels sure of its incumbence and hopes to regain domination with new candidates. But such a victory might be dangerous to the CCA. The urban renewal program gives the city the weapons needed to tear down massive areas of low-grade housing, preparing the way for private redevelopment of desirable property. Such projects would inevitably permanently displace from the city a large number of its residents, and such a move might well provide political impetus for a move...
