Title
Clergy's protest against Diem regime.
Description
Text transcribed from caption: P-29734 CLERGY’S PROTEST AGAINST DIEM REGIME NEW YORK -- Fifteen thousand U.S. clergymen, citing what they described as religious persecution of Buddhists in South Vietnam, have protested continuance of U.S. aid to the government headed by President Ngo Dinh Diem. Here, some of the letters from clergymen are displayed by Dr. Harry Emerson Fosdick, minister emeritus of Riverside church in New York City, and Dr. Donald S. Harrington, minister of the Community church of New York and secretary of the Ministers Vietnam Committee. A letter, registering the clergymen’s protest, was sent to President Kennedy. “We decry,” it said, “the loss of American lives and billions of dollars to a regime universally regarded as unjust, undemocratic and unstable…the religious persecution of Buddhists by the ruling Roman Catholic Ngo family has shocked the world.” Credit Must Read: RELIGIOUS NEWS SERVICE PHOTO (RNS-NY-8C-63-W)
