President Favors Tough Anticrime Bill for Campus Security
Congress sent to the White House a stringent anticrime measure designed to curb campus bombings and shield businesses and unions from organized crime control. The bill authorizes FBI investigations of bombings at federally aided institutions, includes the death penalty for fatal bombings, and sets penalties up to 25 000 dollars fine and 20 years imprisonment for using organized crime funds to run interstate businesses. A new 25 year sentence targets habitual criminals. The measure also designates large scale illicit gambling and bribery of local officials in gambling as federal crimes. The Senate passed it by voice vote after minimal debate, with House action following last week. Some senators questioned constitutionality of witness immunity and electronic surveillance provisions.
