Melbourne reception dampened by paint attack on Johnson
From 500000 to a million Australians gathered in Melbourne to greet President Johnson in a tumultuous reception. A paint-throwing incident smeared his bubbletop limousine but the car’s transparent top protected him and Mrs. Johnson. Secret Service personnel were splashed, one guard briefly fell from a security car. The paint washed off, and the Johnsons continued to Canberra amid cheers and songs. Johnson spoke of hope amid the Vietnam war, saying Communists cannot win.
