Swank warns Illinois welfare funds may run dry in April
Illinois Public Aid Director C Swank told the House Appropriations Committee that the department faces a 67 million ADC deficit in the current biennium due to a surge of nearly 7 000 additional aid independent children cases from October to December 1968. A 120 million federal emergency appropriation is slated for a committee hearing. Swank cited influx from publicized national poverty programs and noted Illinois attracts poor families from other states. He urged federal aid standards while criticizing unclear Washington regulations on aid.

Offshore oil drilling halts off Santa Barbara
Offshore drilling largely stopped in the Santa Barbara channel as a runaway well leaks 21,000 gallons daily from 2,500 feet below the sea floor. An adjacent rig drills a second well to relieve underground pressure while an oil slick covering about 20 square miles threatens marine life and beaches. Interior Secretary Hickel called the pollution more severe than anticipated as winds push slick away from shore. Senate investigators head to scene, reporting Wednesday.

Social workers run state hospital under scrutiny at hearing
At a Lewis-Live commission hearing on state charitable institutions, three psychiatrists testified that social workers determine admissions at Chicago State Hospital, not doctors. They criticized hospital administrator Dr Hyman C Pomp, saying doctors are rubber stamps and the commission warned Pomp could be fired if testimony holds. A letter signed by 88 physicians and psychiatrists sparked the charges. Ling Ho Chu, a Chinese diplomat who defected in the Netherlands, arrived in the United States seeking asylum, under review by the State Department.
