League Women Shift Toward Sales Tax Support
Gov. Reynolds criticized the League of Women Voters after state board members at Beaver Dam approved a substantial majority of local leagues backing a general Wisconsin sales tax. He urged higher income taxes to cover a $669.3 million 1963-65 budget, warning exemptions for food and drugs or credits would fail to raise needed funds. The League had historically opposed the levy and urged exemptions.

Jews Denied Right To Bake Matzoth
Moscow authorities again deny the Moscow Jewish community permission to bake ceremonial matzoth for Passover starting April 9. The ban, first imposed last year, was announced by Rabbi Yehuda Lieb Levin. An application was filed three months ago to lift the prohibition on state bakeries.
