Instant parole bill shocks Winnebago judges in review
Reaction runs from cautious to dismayed as Winnebago County Circuit Court judges assess a newly adopted state budget provision granting immediate parole after sentencing for most felons. Judge Carver derides the move as rushed and improper in a monetary bill, while Judge Crane says it won't alter his rulings though it shifts rehab focus to corrections and health services. Judge Arpin urges waiting to see how implementation unfolds and whether parole timing affects sentence proportionality.

Date of Nixon European trip remains uncertain amid domestic focus
Washington AP reports President Nixon will concentrate on domestic issues until Congress recesses and the date for a European trip remains unclear. An adviser called the word uncertain perceptive as speculation grows it may be delayed until next year.
