No Appropriation For Giant Plane
Washington AP The head of the SST program says the project is in good shape despite Congress not appropriating funds for the next fiscal year. Maxwell director of the SST program for FAA says the decision was voluntary and the program will use $186 million already appropriated but unused to proceed with Boeing’s revised designs for the 1800 mph plane. He notes ongoing reviews with airlines and rejects reports that the Franco British Concorde endangers the U.S. SST effort.

The Congress of Racial Equality held a recess at its national convention in Columbus after delegates walked out amid a dispute over the group's direction.
