Missouri system of picking Illinois judges urged
The push to replace partisan elections with a Missouri style merit selection for judges grows after resignations of two state Supreme Court justices. Gov Ogilvie, the Chicago Bar Association and other groups advocate appointive selection via a non partisan commission, with retention votes by the public. The plan aims to remove party influence and speed filling vacancies ahead of the Constitutional Convention.

Knox Notes Pro Football WAS A Game Critic's Corner
Gary Indiana National cross currents hit a fire department strike. Local 359 walked out for higher wages and left 279 of 292 positions vacant for six days. Court action forced a return to work as mayor Hatcher promised fairness and no replacements. Fire chief Holliday recalled volunteers faced threats and later retracted a hose-cutting claim. The piece questions public heroism and contrasts Gary with suburban firemen who supposedly would not strike.
