As schools closed and a heat wave set in, large crowds flocked to the lake and a heavy influx of Negro swimmers came from the opposite side of the lake.

Agnew said the present board, with limitations imposed by the U.S.

Johnson asked for the stricter gun control laws Monday in a strongly worded message to both the House and Senate. The White House said specific legislative proposals would follow. "Homes and city streets across the nation which might have rung with gun fire will be spared the tragedy of senseless slaughter," the President said.

Johnson's proposals were attacked by Rep. Robert L. F. Sikes, who said "the principal deduction to be drawn from the message is that there is a deplorable lack of law enforcement in this country." Sikes is a former director of the National Rifle Association, the principal opponent of stringent gun controls, particularly the registration of weapons. Also calling for stronger law enforcement and criticizing the gun control proposals were Reps.
