Proxmire Edges GOP in Light Wisconsin Primary
The contest pitted Wisconsin voters against an FBI influenced curb, with Keller and ex Rep Glenn R Davis backed by Old Guard conservatives. Proxmire carried several former GOP strongholds as turnout stayed near 30 percent, reflecting a weak push by the Republican base. Proxmire, an Illinois native, previously lost Wisconsin governor races to Kohler in 1962 and 1954 and to Thomson by 50,000 in the latest bid.

West Gets Arms Cuts Turndown From Russians
The House passed legislation to safeguard FBI files in court trials by a 351 to 17 vote and sent it to a Senate compromise. The bills aim to curb defense attorneys from rummaging FBI records following the Jencks ruling, while Hoover and the FBI contested the administration push as propaganda. The Senate version drew sharp objections from the Justice Department. The measure seeks to control access to FBI material in criminal cases and align court practice with the June Jencks decision.
