Illinois Racing Board May See Budget Halved This Session
The Illinois Racing Board faces a possible cut to no more than half of its $3.2 million budget as lawmakers, led by black legislators including Eugene Barnes Harold Washington and Corneal Davis, oppose chairman Anthony Scariano. Senate support on a partial $1.6 million appropriation means the board must seek remaining funds next fall, while debates over affirmative action, reform measures, and potential vetoes shape a tense funding outlook.

World Food Council Delegates Demand Resignation of American Secretariat
Third World delegates at the U.N. World Food Council’s first negotiating session voted no confidence in the secretariat led by John A. Hannah and demanded its quit. They cited bias toward rich nations and pledged to seek a balanced regional leadership as talks resume later this year. The council, created to advance hunger relief, produced no tangible results in five days and set three priority issues: an international agriculture fund, short term food aid, and emergency stockpiles.
