Title: Episcopal clergyman ends long civil rights fast.
Description: Text transcribed from caption: P-31012 EPISCOPAL CLERGYMAN ENDS LONG CIVIL RIGHTS FAST CHESTER, Pa. -- The Rev. Clayton K. Hewett, 30 pounds lighter after an 18-day hunger strike in protest to racial segregation in schools at Chester, Pa., smiles at the youngest of his six children. Six-month-old Maria Theresa is held by another daughter, Darrale Jeanne, 13. Mrs. Hewett is at right. The clergyman, with one arm in a sling, ended his fast after Pennsylvania Governor William Scranton launched an effort to solve the Chester school segregation problem. He was arrested on several charges during a protest demonstration and after 10 days in jail, the last three in “complete fast” without liquids, was hospitalized. For the last eight days he continued his protest, accepting only juice and vitamins. Credit Must Read: RELIGIOUS NEWS SERVICE PHOTO (W-NY-5C-64-NBM)

Title: Hunger strike for civil rights.
Description: Text transcribed from caption: P-30988 HUNGER STRIKE FOR CIVIL RIGHTS MEDIA, Pa. -- The Rev. Clayton K. Hewett, Episcopal clergyman of Morton, Pa., takes part in a healing service of Holy Unction from his cot in a county jail annex at Media, Pa. The clergyman went on a prolonged hunger strike to protest racial segregation in public schools after he was arrested in demonstrations at Chester, Pa. The service is conducted by another Episcopal clergyman, the Rev. John Black of Philadelphia. After nearly two weeks -- the last few days during which Mr. Hewett went into a “complete fast,” without food or liquid -- physicians ordered his transfer to a hospital in Chester. The clergyman’s wife, who said she and their six children “think he’s 100 per cent correct,” said his state of dehydration made it necessary to administer liquids intravenously in the hospital, though he was continuing to refuse solids.

Wagener, editor of the Times-Review, weekly of the La Crosse diocese, and Neman Club chaplain at La Crosse State College (second right), joins students picketing a hall where Gov. George Wallace of Alabama was speaking. The Southern governor, an avowed segregationist, was campaigning for the Presidential Democratic nomination in Wisconsin’s primary election. After his talk, the pickets passed out a statement which said: “Regardless of what Gov. Wallace says here tonight, the actions of persons aligning themselves with segregation are unjust, inhumane and in defiance of Christian ethics and federal law.” While in this state, Gov. Wallace also was attacked by the Catholic Herald Citizen, weekly of the Milwaukee archdiocese, which labeled him the personification of “moral evil.” Credit Must Read: RELIGIOUS NEWS SERVICE PHOTO (PJW-LC-4A-64-NAB)

Americans were called on by the President to reject the "indefensible counsel" being offered by divisive forces in society and to work for racial peace through strict adherence to law and order. The Community Relations committee, under the aegis of the Department of Commerce, will serve primarily as a consulting board but also will figure in the negotiation of local problems.
