Title: 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)

Title: Hunger strike for civil rights.
Description: Text transcribed from caption: P-30988 HUNGER STRIKE FOR CIVIL RIGHTS MEDIA, Pa. -- The Rev. Clayton K. 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.

Title: President addresses new Community Relations Committee.
Description: Text transcribed from caption: PC-31434 PRESIDENT ADDRESSES NEW COMMUNITY RELATIONS COMMITTEE WASHINGTON, D.C. -- Members of the new National Citizens Committee for Community Relations, a panel including many Protestant, Catholic and Jewish clergymen, swarm around President Johnson after he spoke to them in the White House Rose Garden. Americans were called on by the President to reject the "indefensible counsel" being offered by divisive forces in society and to work for racial peace through strict adherence to law and order. The Community Relations committee, under the aegis of the Department of Commerce, will serve primarily as a consulting board but also will figure in the negotiation of local problems.

Title: Freedom Riders start jail terms in Florida.
Description: Text transcribed from caption: PC-31371 FREEDOM RIDERS START JAIL TERMS IN FLORIDA TALLAHASSEE, Fla. -- Eight white and Negro clergymen arrested in 1961 in a sit-in integration attempt at a Tallahassee, Fla., airport restaurant went to jail there after three years of unsuccessful appeals. They chose 60-day sentences rather than paying $500 fines after Federal Court turned down a new appeal. Their case earlier went up to the U.S. Supreme Court but that tribunal refused to hear it. Denial of the appeal generally was on technical grounds. The clergymen, from left to right, are: the Rev. John W. Collier, pastor of Israel Memorial African Methodist Episcopal church, Newark, N.J.; the Rev. A. McRaven Warner, executive secretary of the Manhattan Division of the Protestant Council of the City of New York; Rabbi Martin Freedman of Temple B'nai Jeshurun, Paterson, N.J.; the Rev. Arthur L. Hardge of Hood Memorial African Methodist Episcopal Zion church, Providence, R.I.; Rabbi Israel Dressner of Temple Sharey Shalom, Springfield, N.J.; the Rev. Robert J. Stone of New York, assistant executive director of the Commission on Religion and Race of the United Presbyterian Church in the U.S.A.; Dr. Robert McAfee Brown, professor at Stanford University, Palo Alto, Cal., and nationally known United Presbyterian theologian who was a delegate observer at the second session of the Vatican Council; and the Rev. Petty D. McKinney of St. Phillip's AME Zion church, Nyack, N.Y. Credit Must Read: RELIGIOUS NEWS SERVICE PHOTO (WW-NY-8B-64-NBM)
