Rep. Martha W. Griffiths, Michigan Democrat, told the House today that she has introduced a bill restricting explosives to help control the bombing of religious institutions and schools.
Rep. Griffiths said she has urged the FBI to take further action to apprehend those responsible for recent bomb outrages in the South.
She introduced into the Congressional Record a resolution deploring the bombings of synagogues and other institutions. The resolution was adopted by 23 veterans organizations in Wayne County, Mich. It called on the Justice Department to act through the FBI to end the bomb terror.
