Drying Dikes Hold Back Mississippi Flood Dangers

About 40,000 people displaced by the Red River are returning as floodwaters retreat in upper areas.

Houston Rep. J. E. Winfree's proposal to recess the Texas legislature until September gained more signers but risks delaying the effectivity of bills already passed. Normally bills take effect 90 days after adjournment, causing uncertainty until after the September session ends. An exception applies to appropriation bills for Sept 1 and emergency clauses. The revenue and taxation committee report may hasten adjournment.
