Security measures over Johnson Florida trip amid death by own action threat
Washington AP reports heightened security around President Johnson during a Florida visit after a tip that a Cuban death by own action pilot might ram Air Force One or a ground to air missile could be aimed at the jet. White House officials refused comment. The Miami Herald said the Secret Service considered the threat unlikely but took precautions. Police said they could not locate a man who reportedly threatened Johnson’s life. Adams redevelopment plans proceed with a first phase focusing on Center Street and nearby blocks, preserving several banks and a key building while razing 42 structures to house 72 tenants.
