Illinois Lawmaker Proposes Frog Jumping Commission
Springfield May 25 Representative Bernard Peskin introduces a tongue in cheek measure to create a frog jumping commission with a $1.29 two year appropriation to breed frogs. The Illinois House tables the idea amid jokes and the governor’s frog’s weak jump in Calaveras County. The day also features Revenue Committee hearings on a 2 percent income tax with proxy votes due to Cahokia Downs racing.

Republicans Expected To Pick San Francisco Site
Washington reports that GOP leaders are quietly moving to award the 1964 Republican presidential nominating convention to San Francisco likely in July. A June 20 Denver meeting will not issue a formal recommendation, but the national committee is expected to ratify the site and nominee. The California primary friction and party feuding over delegates loom large as Nixon shifts to New York and California Republicans conclude the nominee must carry the state to win in November.
