Thompson Ready to Run for Governor in 1976
James R. Thompson, United States district attorney for Northern Illinois, is expected to resign and seek the Republican nomination for governor in the 1976 primary. Two GOP insiders say he will announce plans before June ends, with possible Scott as running mate. The result could pair Thompson with Attorney General William J. Scott in a Thompson-Scott ticket.

Illinois Senate weighs pay hikes for state workers hearing set
Sen Johns sponsors a resolution to form a committee to recommend a six percent pay hike for about 77 000 non university state employees. The plan would reach debate in the final weeks of the General Assembly, despite Gov Walker opposing funding in the 1976 budget. Springfield observers note Walker may agree if the legislature acts. The proposal follows a prior year 100 dollar monthly increase approved over Walker's veto. The piece also reports on a mining health and safety act approval and a grand jury indictment debate in Illinois.
