Petition seeks to reopen Isaacs case over alleged judge influence
A petition filed with the Telinois Supreme Court seeks to reinstate fraud charges against Theodore Isaacs, alleging two justices were unduly influenced to dismiss the case. It accuses Justice Klinghiel of dropping charges after a stock transfer, and Chief Justice Solfisburg of possible bank ties while on the bench. Sherman H. Skolnick, head of the cleanup committee, filed the petition, citing 1966 transfers involving Civic Center Bank and Trust Co and related personnel. Additional claims name Tsanes as legal counsel for the bank.

Illinois House Delays $1 Airline Ticket Levy Bill
A House Republican postponed a tax measure after failing to secure enough votes. Rep. Flaymond Kahoun of Chicago proposed a $1 levy on all airline tickets in Illinois, estimating about $18 million yearly. Critics warned the plan could be unconstitutional for taxing interstate and intrastate tickets. Despite gains on earlier bills, lawmakers did not advance any sales tax broadening measures.
