Narrow New Gas Tax to Cook County
The Illinois House narrowed a proposed 1 cent gasoline tax for mass transit to apply only in Cook County. Twelve downstate counties were removed, narrowing the CTA subsidy plan to 315 million dollars over 20 years. Chicago suburban lawmakers opposed the tax, arguing residents would pay for service they rarely use. Counties removed include St. Clair Madison Lake Dupage Winnebago Kane Will Rock Island Sangamon Champaign LaSalle. An effort to abolish the Industrial Planning and Development Division failed in the House Appropriations Committee with southern Illinois backing.

Geneva report says the Soviet Union offered a one year halt in the Berlin crisis if the West begins working out a German settlement on Soviet terms. A US spokesman called the plan unacceptable and said it aims to derail the Big Four talks.
