The Rev. Bruce W. Klunder, a Student Christian Union leader on Cleveland area campuses, was killed as he threw himself onto the ground behind a bulldozer. Three other demonstrators had jumped in front of the bulldozer and it backed up over the minister. The operator of the machine said he didn’t know Mr. Klunder was in his path.

- Text transcribed from caption: PC-30547 RIOT ERUPTS OVER CLEVELAND SCHOOL INTEGRATION CLEVELAND, Ohio -- Several clergymen joined picket lines in Cleveland, Ohio, to demonstrate in support of full school integration. Here a bystander, about to be restrained, grabs the arm of a picket in front of an East Side grade school. While a few people were knocked on the ground, order was restored quickly at this location. At the Murray Hill school, however, an unruly crowd of about 400 -- mostly young men -- stopped scheduled picketing with a barrage of eggs, fruit and bottles. Police had to use their clubs to stop the attack. Integration leaders called off the demonstration in order to avert further violence. Credit Must Read: RELIGIOUS NEWS SERVICE PHOTO (W-NY-1E-64-NBM)
