Senate Plans To Accept House GI Bill Changes
The Senate plans to accept most House changes to the GI bill with one possible exception that could force another House vote. The measure would create a permanent system of education and home loan benefits for veterans, retroactive to the Jan 31, 1955, expulsion of prior programs, and would be signed by President Johnson despite higher costs. The dispute centers on education eligibility for veterans who did not graduate high school, a point Yarborough insists must be clarified.

Rantoul Faces Water Shortage From Lime Packed Wells
Frightening water scare in Rantoul as faucets ran dry and the town of 150 faced a bone dry water tower. Councilman Lloyd Kern says wells are lime clogged and pumps ran only a third of the time. Ottawa water was sourced as crews work to break up lime deposits and restore supply. If residents conserve, water could last about a week.
