Clergymen plan silent vigil at Pentagon over Viet Nam war
An interfaith group called the Interreligious Committee on Viet Nam plans a March to the Pentagon from a Washington church to stand silent outside the Defense Department and call for a peaceful settlement. Up to 1,000 clergy and lay leaders from across the nation are expected, led by Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. The event aims to express the American desire for a peaceful settlement, protest escalation and bombing, and encourage human welfare and Southeast Asia development. The Pentagon vigil will comply with area rules restricting movement and blocking entrances.
