The Illinois Public Aid Commission debated financing divorces for reliefers to legitimize common law marriages. Aiming to improve home life, the plan follows IPAC's decision to provide contraceptives to about 75,000 relief recipients, with mid February as a target for implementing the birth control program. Auditor Howlett blasted the divorce idea as foolish and costly. Swank noted a referral system to doctors and clinics for contraception with no coercion or denial for seekers.

Congo Claims Kongolo Falls in Central Congo Bid
Congo's central government says it captured Kongolo, where about 1,500 gendarmes loyal to Katanga President Tshombe had held out since February. Gen Joseph Mobutu said central army troops entered last Friday and now hold the town, though diplomats doubt full control. Two spans of a key bridge were blown. Katanga may still hold the east bank airfield and section. Kongolo had seen the massacre of 19 priests and two Europeans by central army soldiers in January. Capture could bolster Premier Adoula amid parliamentary opposition.
