Johnsons Easter Holiday Schedule Slows in Texas
President Johnson kept a relaxed Easter schedule at the LBJ Ranch in Pedernales River Texas signing 13 bills and naming a three member railroad dispute fact finding board while proclaiming May as Senior Citizens month. White House aide said he would stay on the ranch and briefings came from Lt Col James Connell as two U S airmen shot down in East Germany were released. Mrs Johnson visited an Austin beauty shop and the couple hosted Rep Jack Brooks of Beaumont as Fredericksburg prepared an Easter Saturday festival recalling an Indian siege event once tied to local lore.
