Wisconsin Gambling Bill Delayed Until September In Assembly
The Wisconsin Assembly delayed action on a tightened gambling law until at least September after reconsidering a previously amended anti-gambling bill. A 52 to 42 vote to send the bill back to the Senate fell short of the two thirds needed, delaying concurrence as both houses recess. Authorities also faced a postwar building program jam and shifted funds from highway accounts to cover state needs.
