Proposed Code Department To Run Public Aid in Illinois
SPRINGFIELD, HI Sen. W. Russell Arrington and 31 senators introduced a bill to create a state code department under the governor to run Illinois public aid programs now handled by the Public Aid Commission. The plan would create the Department of Illinois Public Assistance overseeing more than 300 million dollars in relief for dependent children, blind, elderly, and disability programs. The measure also proposes ceilings on dependent children grants to save about 13.7 million over two years, with monthly limits of 32 dollars for a parent and 32 and 23 dollars for the first and each additional child respectively, Arrington noted, predicting an average case saving of 22 dollars.

Becks Subpoena Testimony Reveals Teamsters Loan Offer
Alfons Landa, director at Fruehaus Trailer Co, testified Beck was offered half the profits from a 144 million dollar Teamsters loan in December 1953. Beck rejected the proposal while later supporting a Teamsters backed plan to sway Montgomery Ward proxies in a dispute between Roy Fruehauf and Harvey Fruehauf. Landa, Beck’s professed lender of $10 million to Fruehauf, described a 40 percent stock stake arrangement and potential profits exceeding $100,000 if he had accepted, though Beck declined citing no liability if unprofitable. He defended the offer as appreciation rather than improper.
