Wisconsin Assembly votes to repeal colored oleo ban
The Wisconsin State Assembly voted 54 to 43 to send a repeal of the dairy colored oleo ban to the Senate. The bill would tax the product seven cents a pound with revenue to dairy research, a security fund for farmers, and reimbursement when plants cut milk payments.

Jet service unlikely at La Crosse airport before 1968
Airport Manager Theron Clark told the Kiwanis Club that meeting North Central’s runway standard for jet service is unlikely before 1968. Extending the 5,300 foot north-south runway to 6,550 feet requires dredging over water, fill, riprap, and resurfacing at an estimated city share of 375,000 dollars of a 1.5 million dollar project. North Central plans five DC-9 jets and daily service to several cities pending adequate runways.
