A total of 177 Protestant, Catholic and Jewish clergy and laymen heard the President in the East Room of the White House on the day following a mass interreligious convocation at Georgetown University to demand passage of the civil rights bill. Seated under painting to the President’s right, from right to left, are top Protestant, Catholic and Jewish spokesmen: Rabbi Uri Miller, president of the Synagogue Council of America; Bishop B. Julian Smith of the Christian Methodist Episcopal Church and a vice chairman of the National Council of Churches’ race commission; Dr. Eugene Carson Blake, NCC race commission chairman and chief administrative officer of the United Presbyterian Church in the U.S.A.; Archbishop Patrick A. O’Boyle of Washington, and Rabbi Lewis A. Weintraub, president of the Washington Board of Rabbis. Credit Must Read: RELIGIOUS NEWS SERVICE PHOTO (W-DC-5A-64-NBM)
