A Nixon proposal would prosecute illegal interstate transport of explosives used in fatal bombings with the death penalty, prompting concerns over civil liberties and potential government repression. Officials cite a surge in bombings and threats, with figures from Javits Ribicoff and Percy urging caution amid wartime-era powers. The administration contemplates tighter licensing, while Rep. Celler introduces a related bill.
