Text transcribed from caption: PC-29802 THE WASHINGTON MARCH -- 200,000 STRONG WASHINGTON, D.C. -- About 100,000 were expected…more than twice that many came to the March on Washington for Jobs and Freedom. Early in the morning the pace of arrivals was slow. A happy, picnic atmosphere began to build around the base of the Washington Monument (in background). Then, near noon, caravans of buses that had been jamming outlying highways began to pour into the city. By the time the March started, a steady flow of people was pouring down Constitution and Independence Avenues. They jammed around the front of the Lincoln Memorial, lined the edges of the long reflecting pool, and listened to Freedom songs, entertainers and speakers. In the March and during the ceremonies, the presence of religious groups was vividly evident. Credit Must Read: RELIGIOUS NEWS SERVICE PHOTO (SM-DC-8E-63-NBM)

Text transcribed from caption: PC-29696 SEEK AGREEMENT ON SCHOOL PRAYER BILL WASHINGTON, D.C. -- An Ad Hoc Committee of the House of Representatives is shown as it met to study a “compromise” draft of a bill that would overrule the U.S. Supreme Court decision on prayer and Bible reading as devotional acts in public schools. Fifty-six members of the House have presented bills for that purpose, but agreement on a common bill is required. The committee headed by Rep. Frank J. Becker (R.-N.Y.), shown at center, seeks to devise a “compromise language” draft agreeable to all sponsors of so-called “prayer” amendments. If successful, the committee will launch a drive to obtain signatures of 218 Congressmen on a discharge petition. The petition is needed to get such a bill out of the House Judiciary Committee and onto the floor of the House for debate and vote. Shown with Mr. Becker, left to right, are Congressmen Walter S. Baring (D.-Nev.), Don Fuqua (D.-Fla.), Delbert L. Latta (R.-Ohio) and Horace R. Kornegay (D.-N.C.). Rep. William C. Cramer (R.-Fla.), not pictured, is also a member of the committee.
