'LIE-IN' AT WHITE HOUSE


WASHINGTON, D.C.--Members of peace groups from New York


City, including the Episcopal and Catholic Peace Fellowships, the


Fellowship of Reconciliation, and students and faculty from Union


Theological Seminary, gather in Lafayette Park, across Pennsylvania


Avenue from the White House, for a brief memorial service for those


killed in Vietnam (top photo).


Following the service, about 150 demonstrators crossed the


avenue and tried to gain access to the White House to deliver a list


of Vietnamese dead to the President. Denied admittance, the group


staged a "lie-in" on the driveway (bottom photo). All were


arrested.


The demonstrators were taking part in a series of "Daily Death


Toll" anti-war protests which will take place until Nov. 24, with


groups coming from several cities.
