President signs crime control bill amid wiretap dispute
President Johnson signed a crime control bill providing a five year federal grant program to bolster police training and equipment with $100 million this year and $300 million next year. The measure authorizes wiretapping under court orders, narrows criminal confessions rulings, restricts interstate handgun sales, and bars felons and others from firearms. The act faces potential further legislation to close gun control gaps.
