None of the approximately 20 white Clarksdale clergymen took part in the prayer service. The NCC commission and Clarksdale Negro ministers held the service in an effort to establish communication with local authorities. The injuction was handed here to the Rev.

Title:Description:Text transcribed from caption: C-29835 POLAND’S MOST FAMOUS SHRINE CZESTOCHOWA, Poland -- This is the ancient monastery-church of the Pauline Fathers on Jasna Gora (Bright Mountain), which houses the famous shrine of Our Lady of Czestochowa, patroness of Poland. Scene of annual national pilgrimages which have brought together more than one million faithful at one time, the shrine contains a picture of the Mother of Christ which legend says was painted on cypress wood by St. Luke. Because the wood is now dark with age, the image is often called the “Black Madonna.” This photograph at Czestochowa was taken during a recent visit by Stefan Cardinal Wyszynski, Primate of Poland who charged the Communist authorities with persistent efforts to deny or restrict the religious freedom of Polish Catholics. The prelate challenged the Reds to match their praise of Pope John XXIII’s encyclical, Pacem in Terris, with proper respect for basic human rights.
