Senator Grindle Denies Active Role In Insurance Bill
Senator William L Grindle of Herrin denies actively aiding passage of a bill restricting police liability and says he merely voted yes. A May 31 law allows downstate cities to sue police for up to 50 000 and a Hogan led letter urged mayors to contact Grindle for liability insurance guidance. Bracy and Sons Insurance says Grindle suggested a group plan for municipalities to obtain professional liability insurance and Bracy would pay him a commission from false arrest coverage. Mayors of Carbondale and Mysboro commented on the matter.

Kefauver Opposes Plan To Subject Supreme Court To Senate
June 25 AP Kefauver opposes a proposed constitutional amendment forcing Supreme Court justices to face Senate approval every four years, arguing it would politicize the courts. The measure, by Eastland and Johnston, followed investigations into contempt of Congress convictions related to communism. House sponsors Andrews and Mason floated impeachment moves against all justices, aiming to rally support among lawmakers. The court recently reversed three contempt convictions, directing lower courts to reconsider cases like Illinois union leader Watkins, clarifying limits on Congress's questioning and jurisdiction.
