Illinois Security Hospital Chief Denies Employee Kickback Charges
Bert Rednour, superintendent of Illinois Security Hospital in Chester, denied allegations that employees were forced to pay 2 percent of wages to keep their jobs. He cited his political roles, noted 14 patronage staff, and cited a 1964 bulletin allowing employees to refuse donations for campaigns. A St. Louis paper had reported coercive payments. Rednour said no one was compelled and suggested some may have contributed locally.

Humphrey visits Huron in Nebraska to aid campaign
Vice President Hubert Humphrey made a sentimental stop in his family’s drug store in Huron Nebraska on Saturday. He urged support in Tuesday’s Nebraska primary while meeting with local delegates and visiting his aging mother in a nursing home. He portrayed the nation as a turbulent flight needing an experienced pilot with some grey at the temples. The Huron store was started by his father and run by his late brother Ralph. Ralph’s widow now manages the business.
