Anticrime bill gives death penalty for fatal bombings
Congress passes a tough anticrime bill broadening federal powers to investigate campus bombings and protect businesses and unions from organized crime. The measure adds a death penalty for fatal bombings, sets up penalties up to 20 years plus a 25 year habitual criminal extension, and designates large-scale illicit gambling and bribery of local officials as federal crimes. Senate approval came by voice vote after brief debate with some constitutional concerns voiced by Sen. John Sherman Cooper.
