State control of dairy setup pushed out
Detroit Nov 4 GPA voters vetoed a proposed state board to regulate dairy prices and practices. The defeat ends years of debate as 386,645 votes opposed to 237,528 in favor from 2,542 precincts. Milk distributors backed the referendum which left the 1931 act inoperative. A 1939 milk marketing board and a 1941 similar measure faced constitutional questions. Proposals for constitutional convention and Wayne county government changes drew lighter support.
