Judge orders new La Crosse remap by July 31
Federal judge James E. Doyle ruled the 1971 La Crosse County reapportionment unconstitutional and set July 1 to adopt a constitutional plan with guidance for a 1974 election. He refused to shorten current supervisors’ two year terms and warned of a court drawn plan if the board fails to comply. The decision cites large population variances between districts and notes Harman led repeated suits challenging the plan.

Court OKs Closing Bars Showing Gross Sexuality
Supreme Court rules 6 to 3 that states may shut down bars featuring nude dance and sexually explicit performances in public welfare or morals cases. Justice Rehnquist writes that First Amendment does not protect such conduct, upholding California regulatory authority and liquor license suspensions or revocations for venues with disallowed acts. The decision reverses a 1971 federal court ruling that required obscenity trials to regulate nude entertainment.

Four registered Clydesdale mares from Floyd Jones farm near Bangor begin a journey to Japan, the first export of the breed from the United States to that country.
