Description: Text transcribed from caption: PC-30807 WORSHIPPERS OBSERVE EASTER AT EARTHQUAKE SCENE ANCHORAGE, Alaska -- Some churches were severely damaged and many others were darkened and left without heat as an earthquake of tremendous proportion rocked Alaska.

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.
