Gun Control Bill Passes Senate Ahead of Conference
The Senate approved a gun control bill aimed at banning mail order sales of rifles and shotguns. The measure differs from the House version mainly on penalties for crimes with firearms and ammo sales. A conference committee will seek a compromise before final passage. President Johnson sought broader registration and licensing provisions, which were not included. Senate action followed the Kennedy slaying, with Edward Kennedy voting for the registration licensing amendment. The NRA opposed the measure, arguing limits won’t reduce crime.

Thirteen postal reserve members faced Sept. 24 departure for Vietnam and a second suit involving 80 members was filed.
