Open housing debate and Weston proton site in Illinois
Illinois open housing advocates warn the session ends without progress as House Speaker Ralph Smith and Senate Majority Leader W Russell Arrington push for legislation. The controversy also turns to the $375 million Weston proton accelerator with critics arguing federal funding should not go to a state lacking strong anti discrimination laws. Open housing is framed as a moral issue and a path to curb urban decay and job loss to suburbs, while promoters stress it as a constitutional right and a step against ghettoization and inequality.

He contrasts Kosygin's rigid demands with President Johnson's cautious approach while noting the Soviet leader's bleak global view and his appeal for justice and peace at the UN.
