...Philadelphia, newsmen and Pentagon brass watched the YC-123E "Panto-base" plane, a new amphibious version of the Air Force's land-based Chase C-123 transport, go through its paces on the Delaware River. Pilot Bernie Hughes made a normal take-off from nearby Mustin Naval Air Station, then pulled up the wheels, lowered a pair of 13-ft. skis from the plane's belly and made several demonstration landings and take-offs on the water.

Last week a House Government Operations subcommittee took a sharp look at the program to see 1) how it is working, and 2) whether it should be continued. (Between June 30 and July 13, shortly before the investigation began, 40 new grants were issued, covering $47,768,434 worth of new plants.) The committee was not impressed...
