SPRINGFIELD, Ill., (NC)— In a surprising switch of sup port, Illinois State Attorney General William Clark has join ed Benjamin Adamowski, un successful Republican candid ate for Chicago mayor, in a suit seeking injunction to stop the State’s controversial tax- paid birth control program. The Illinois Public Aid Com mission, administrator of the program, had expected Clark to defend its activities in giving birth control information and contraceptives to unmarried mothers and to married women living apart from their hus bands. The program has already run into opposition in the State Sen ate, which almost unanimously approved a bill (April 4) to permit use of tax funds to sup port a birth control program only for women on relief who are living with their husbands and request state assistance. The bill’s sponsor, Sen. Mor gan M. Finley of Chicago, told the Senators that the commis sion’s original plan to finance birth control for unmarried mo thers and women living away from their husbands would in volve “the expenditure of pub lic funds to foster, condone and Cleaners and Launderers Fur Storage and Rug Cleaning 232 Roosevelt Ave. Lake Parr Shopping Center 1107 N.
