Paint attack mars welcome for Johnson in Melbourne
In Melbourne Australia a crowd greeted President Johnson with cheers and a later paint assault as his limousine neared Government House. Plastic bags of green and red paint splattered the windshield, drenching three Secret Service agents and leaving Johnson and Mrs. Johnson momentarily unprotected. The driver halted the car and police formed a protective barrier before the party moved inside. One youth was arrested and the president joked that the turnout was too large for the paint to spoil.
