State budget cuts totaling 13.8 million urged by special committee
Springfield reports that a special legislative committee proposed 13.8 million dollars in reductions to 50 state agency appropriations for the biennium. Major cuts target Illinois Public Aid Commission 667,000, University of Illinois system 1.487 million, Southern Illinois University 1.487 million, and Public Health 695,000, with other sizable trims. The panel, chaired by Rep. Lloyd Harris, notes no across-the-board cuts and cites selective reductions while preserving revenue and conservation departments. Amendments were offered to several bills, with some readied for backtracking to insert changes. The group comprises five members from each house, split evenly between Democrats and Republicans.

Reds Hopeful Over Laos Conference Accord
Communist China Foreign Minister Chen Yi said there are bright prospects for a final East West Laotian accord at the 14 nation conference. He claimed all conditions exist for an agreement acceptable to all while Western delegates noted no concession from the Communists. Chen cited a recent three prince Laotian meeting as helpful and neutralization guiding principles. He warned against unlimited arms and international control without consent, and cited U. S. Harriman's praise of progress despite cease fire violations. Differences remain sharp but common points exist, with debate over the international control commission’s powers and veto issues.
