The Protestant Council has also agreed to send letters to Ks 1,700 member - churches to urge congregants to take part in the march. The New York Rabbinical Council, said Dr. Kilgore, has made a similar commitment to persuade Jews throughout the city to Join in the march in which more than 200,000 persons from' all over the nation may take part. In Harlem, several churches have already chartered buses— some more than one — to take their congregations to Washing­ ton, said Dr. Kilgore. Tb oughout the nation, added Dr. Kilgore.
