Open City. Ogilvie, together with Cicero officials, appealed to Governor Otto Kerner for National Guard troops to preserve order during the march. Said Cicero Town Attorney Christy Berkos: "The probability of danger and destruction to human life and property now has become a certainty." Kerner agreed, and prepared to call out the Guard. Major General Francis Kane, Guard commander, grimly made plans to arm his men with tear gas, bayonets and machine guns. "If anyone fires on my men," warned Kane, "my men will fire back, and the same goes if anyone fires at the marchers...

Rather than wait until the next gubernatorial election in 1968 to resume his political career, the Bell & Howell board chairman announced last week that he was a candidate for the U.S. Senate seat of Paul Douglas, his onetime (1938) economics professor at the University of Chicago...
...same rulers who are making war on working people throughout the world-in Viet Nam, the Dominican Republic and the Congo." At week's end Chicago-where civil rights groups have long campaigned against Mayor Richard Daley and School Superintendent Benjamin Willis-was quiet. But Governor Otto Kerner, at the request of Chicago police, ordered 2,000 Illinois National Guardsmen into the city to stand by in armories in case of further trouble. Then Springfield.
