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.

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.

Victory signs, signifying rejection of Southern senators’ attempts to delay debate by subjecting the bill to committee hearings, are made, from left to right, by: Sen. Hubert Humphrey (D.-Minn.) and Sen Philip A. Hart (D.-Mich.), key legislative supporters of the measure, and three prominent Negro civil rights leaders -- the Rev. Ralph Abernathy, Dr. Martin Luther King and the Rev. Fred Shuttlesworth. The Negro clergymen all have been active in integration efforts through the Southern Christian Leadership Conference, headed by Dr. King.

- 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)

C. -- Religious, labor and civil rights leaders from New York City came to the nation’s capital [capitol] for a March on Washington to urge early passage of the civil rights bill without “crippling amendments.” Some of the 1,200 marchers are shown arriving at Union Station.
