Probe of Policemen Assaults Opens in Senate
The Senate Judiciary Committee opened an inquiry into an armed campaign described as urban guerrilla attacks on police. Eastland said hearings would cover more than a dozen cities over four days as lawmakers consider measures to protect officers, including federal crimes for attacking, killing, or teaching others to target police and a $50,000 bounty for information leading to convictions. The panel also weighs tightening the Smith Act and empowering FBI involvement in cases of killings of police or firefighters.
