City Increase Beaten House Approves Sales Tax Boost
Springfield June 30 AP The Ulinois House approved a half cent boost in the state sales tax urged by Kerner, sending the bill to a Republican Senate hostile to the measure. If the Senate does not agree, the tax hike dies. The 72nd General Assembly neared adjournment amid stalled items including a proposed first employment practices commission and a Chicago mayoral proposal for another local sales levy. A constitutional amendment to legalize bingo failed in the House, and daylight time shortening and seat belt proposals drew votes. The House passed a drinking age bill raising women to 21, aligning with men, and sent it to the governor.

Illinois House Approves Judicial Reform Amendment
The Illinois House voted 121 to 25 to approve a revamped judicial reform amendment to the state constitution. Backers expect possible Senate passage and a statewide ballot in 1952. The plan consolidates courts, sets 10 year Supreme Court terms, creates a Cook County district, and shifts appointive to elected roles.
