Ervin Challenges Nixon Power to Impound Funds
Senate Democrat Sam J. Ervin Jr. challenges President Nixon’s claimed constitutional right to impound appropriations, urging a constitutional basis for spending limits. Nixon defends impoundment as clear when it avoids price hikes or tax increases. The dispute is part of Ervin’s hearings on a bill to bar impounding for more than 60 days without Congress approval. A separate note mentions the Northeast Missouri Academic Festival set for March 27 at Northeast Missouri State University.

Pan American and Trans World Airlines will not exercise options to buy the Concorde, citing shorter range higher operating costs and economic doubts. The move ends major US carrier commitments and may influence other lines as four more hold options on the jets. Delivery is planned for 1974 with American Eastern Braniff and Continental each holding several options.

Concorde gains mixed support for Latin America flights
The article notes enthusiasm for the Concorde at Concorde is ideal for Latin American routes but Braniff resists being first to test the jet. The plane touts speeds over Mach 2 and a 128 passenger capacity between New York and Paris in about three hours, yet faces high costs, limited capacity, and loud operation. A Wall Street analyst calls it a small plane sacrificing size for speed and questions the economics. Only two supersonic transports are in production, the Tupolev TU144 and the Concorde jointly built by BAC and Aerospatiale.
