Korean Bonus Bill Approved By Committee
SPRINGFIELD IL A million dollar Korean bonus proposal for about 296000 Illinois veterans cleared its first legislative test with a unanimous Senate Military Affairs Committee vote. The measure would pay 10 per month served from June 27 1950 to July 27 1953 plus 100 for Korean Service Medal holders and 1000 for survivors of those killed in the Korean combat zone. Estimated total bonus payments reach 62280000 with remaining funds to cover bonds and possible miscalculations. Funding would use a penny increase in the cigarette tax. The bill moves to Appropriations and then possible statewide referendum in 1958. Other legislative notes include a proposed crime investigation commission and related funding measures.

Illinois Senate trims three million from dam project
The Illinois Senate cut three million dollars from a proposed 312 million dollar state outlay for federal construction of a Carlyle on the Kaskaskia River dam and reservoir. The measure, urged by sponsors, follows Gov. Stratton's stance against tying up funds amid tax concerns while a broader regional project plan includes Shelbyville basin levees and flood protection. Opponents warn of higher taxes and erosion, and other Senate actions include narcotics penalties and alderman pay increases.
