Title: President Johnson.
Description: Text transcribed from caption: PC-30254 PRESIDENT JOHNSON Lyndon Baines Johnson of Texas, the 36th President of the United States. Succeeding to the office of the Chief Executive upon the assassination of President Kennedy, Mr. Johnson is shown in a recent photograph taken at his office in the Capitol Building. A member of the International Convention of Christian Churches (Disciples of Christ), he has said that while the nation believes in separation of Church and State, there “is no separation between the men of the state and faith in God. The private unity of public men with their God in prayer is the enduring source of our unity…Godless nations may become powerful in the world…(but)…people do not prosper when their leaders are godless.” Credit Must Read: RELIGIOUS NEWS SERVICE PHOTO (W-NY-11E-63-W)

Title: Resigns under pressure.
Description: Text transcribed from caption: C-29743 RESIGNS UNDER PRESSURE BRAZZAVILLE -- President Fulbert Youlou, head of the Congo Republic, resigned his office as tension mounted in his capital at Brazzaville. A suspended priest, he is shown in clerical robes in 1959 as he left a conference in Elysee Palace in Paris. Before his election, Youlou was a parish priest who was forbidden to say Mass because of his political activity. After riots in Brazzaville subsided, Sime Matsika, a labor leader, began to emerge as a strong man -- some sources said he was a dedicated leftist trained in Peking. A provisional government was being maintained by the Congolese Army, a native force commanded by Lt. Col. Rene Jean of the French Army. Credit Must Read: RELIGIOUS NEWS SERVICE PHOTO (W-BR-8C-63-RB)
