House Overturns Senate Action On Devaluing Dollar
Administration leaders win 209 to 161 vote in the House to send to conference with the Senate conflicting versions of a bill extending monetary powers beyond Friday midnight. The Senate rewrote the House measure to extend the stabilization fund but end devaluation authority and to fix silver price at 77.57 cents per ounce. Roosevelt warns that failure to renew powers would shift control to Wall Street and threaten national defense.

Treasury Slashes Foreign Silver Price Again
Washington reports the Treasury cut its foreign silver price from 40 to 38 44 cents per ounce in the latest move amid a new policy adopted within 24 hours after the Senate barred further foreign silver purchases. The price drop follows Monday’s 43 cent level and mirrors a near half of the 57.57 cent price set for U.S. mined silver, with officials offering no formal reason beyond preventing a mass dump ahead of Congress finalizing silver policy. The change marks the first since March 1935 as foreign silver pricing remained day to day.

Lawmakers Speed Passage Of Dividend Tax Measure
Madison legislators rushed a finance committee bill to reenact the privilege dividend tax before July 1. The Senate approved it with three dissenters and sent it to the Assembly, which concurred unanimously. Governor Heil signed the measure. The bill raises the rate from 2% to 4% and continues a dividend tax on Wisconsin corporate dividends that has appeared on the books since 1933. An alternative plan by Assemblyman Elmer Gopumel proposed broad taxes, including club dues, road equipment, and billboard space, but was not adopted. Introduction of the substitute postponed further tax debate until Friday.
