House blocks stiffer gun control measures vote
Washington reports the House rejected a bid to ban import of surplus military rifles and handguns and declined to require registration of first purchasers of all imported weapons. A tie vote halted Johnson administration plans to curb mail order and interstate sales of rifles, shotguns and pistols. House leaders set another vote for June 20 as public pressure and controversy over gun control grew after Senator Kennedy's assassination.
