Johnson backs lowering voting age amid bipartisan push
President Johnson urges Congress to move the voting age to 18 with support from leaders across parties. Officials report 18-year-olds already vote in several states and argue maturity and responsibility warrant extension of the franchise. A Lafayette railroad tower crew received garbled radio messages about the plan while state police monitor the discussion.
