FTC Rules Green Stamp Firm Restraining Trade Illegally
The Federal Trade Commission ruled that Spercy and Hirobligon Co. restrained trade illegally in a $300 million dispensing green stamps system serving over 3 million households. It barred the company from enforcing a fixed 10 cent to one stamp ratio and from bonus stamping, deeming S&H dominant and colluding with others. The ruling, by a 4 to 1 vote, bans the firm from fixating stamp ratios and suppressing competing promotions, with an appeal possible in federal court.

Senate Firearm Bill Moves Through House Amid Modest Changes
Washington AP The House voted 304 to 118 to send a gun control bill to the Senate after adopting amendments. The measure would ban interstate mail order sales of ammunition for handguns and certain rifles, with age restrictions and narrowed scope. The Senate Judiciary Committee approved a separate mail order ban 3 to 3, action deferred until September after conventions, while a tied vote left broader reform unresolved. Deliberations hinge on amendments by Latta and MacGregonor, shaping who may buy and how transfers are reported.
