Senate approves bill to curb trading stamp use
After three hours of debate the Wisconsin Senate passed a bill to limit trading stamps tied to fair trade contracts. The measure, by Democrat Cornelius Young of Milwaukee, would let stamps be issued only if the final cost exceeds the minimum price, and was opposed by Republicans Kresky and Gettelman with White. The bill passed 23 to 3 with amendments and delays noted as legislators referenced Governor Heil’s speech.

Wabash Recedes as Flood Threat Dims in Terre Haute
The Wabash river receded to 24.8 feet today, easing the danger of a major flood. Downstream breaches at Prakreton dike and the Donnelly levee spilled over about 2,000 acres of Vigo county wheat land. County Agent C C Redenbacher believed the crop could be saved if cold weather lasts as water drains away. WPA workers and county crews continued patching levees after a late battle with sandbags and dirt.
