Wisconsin Supreme Court Refuses Reapportionment Order
The Wisconsin Supreme Court unanimously declines to block the August legislative primary, saying it cannot compel the legislature to reapportion districts. Justice Fairchild writes that judicial action would be futile and stresses comity with other government branches while noting the case belongs in the political arena. The petition, from Attorney General Martin at WW veterans Gaylord Nelson and Irvin Brunner, argues districts must be reapportioned after every federal census.

New Dilemma for Truman in Hobbs Anti-Racket Bill
The Hobbs anti racketeering bill, long sought since 1942, passed the Senate quickly after House approval. President Truman eyed a veto, with supporters and opponents debating safeguards for peaceful union activity and penalties for obstructing interstate commerce. Senator Hatch led the measure, while Pepper and Ball warned of a veto but expected congressional passage over it. The bill targets coercive actions by unions to influence trucking and farmer-wage disputes.
