Afterwards, more than 100 people returned cards indicating their willingness to work for impeachment in the 14th C.D.As a follow-up to this session, an action meeting is set for Thursday, Jan. 24 at 7:30 p.m. at Grace Church, Hicks St. and Grace Court in Brooklyn Heights. Clark was featured speaker at the Jan. 15 meeting of the West Brooklyn Independent Democrats on this same subject.Meanwhile, in the 15th Congressional D istrict, the Brooklyn Chapter has set a public forum for discussion of the %u201cmeaning of impeachment and possible action%u201d. Most of Park Slope is in th at district, represented by Congressman Hugh L. Carey. That meeting is at the Ethical Culture Meeting House, Second St. and Prospect Park West and begins at 8 p.m.At the Friends School forum, Clark said, %u201cHate to talk bad about a fellow on his birthday, but. . .%u201d Then he cautioned against vindictiveness. %u201c We have to berational and reasonable. It%u2019s not a matter of druthers: %u2018I don%u2019t like the guy, impeach him; I like him, don%u2019t impeach him.%u2019 It%u2019s a matter of constitutional government.%u201d said Clark, a Texan who is now practicing law in New York and teaching at Brooklyn Law School.He added: %u201cThe powers are plenary in the Constitution to solve this problem we have. The need is for the institutions of government to do their duty, not somebody else%u2019s.%u201d He doubted a special prosecutor could resolve the Watergate question, being %u201can orphan. . .The courts are supposed to supervise him. The Congress is supposed to supervise him. Can%u2019t work. The need is to compel the executive to do its duty. The way is for the other branches to do theirs. The court has tremendous power and we%u2019ve seen men like Judge Sirica unafraid to exercise it. He understands perfectly well that anything that interferes with the faithful perform ance of the judiciary is a matter that he has the power to control with contempt.%u201cThe Congress%u2019 power is the power of impeachment. It%u2019s the power that we, the people, delegated to the Congress. The intention was that in hard times, when the issue conies up, you use it. You don%u2019t walk away from it. It is there because we felt that there might be these crises someday, when it%u2019ll be necessary, important, and we depend upon people to do their duty. . .%u201c Anybody can make prettyspeeches about the Constitution when there are no problems. The question is: do you adhere to it? It%u2019s the highest fidelity that you%u2019re capable of in a time of crisis. And if it%u2019s inadequate, do you change it? Do you try to constantly improve and reform it? The idea that there is not sufficient evidence now to investigate im peachm ent is contrary in my judgement to the entire judicial, legislative and executive experience of the United States. It%u2019s impossible that in the midst of all this smoke, the people charged with looking for fire can say, %u2018well, there%u2019s not enough smoke yet.%u2019 %u201dClark called John Doar, special counsel to the House committee in v estig a tin g im p each m en t, %u201cabsolutely a man of the law. He%u2019s a Republican. That has nothing to do with it. We%u2019re talking about a matteer of law. He%u2019s a conservative, I think. That has nothing to do with it.%u201d Doar, was a Brooklyn Heights resident until he left for Washington in December.Clark urged the audience to work for impeachment through public meetings, the media, church groups%u2014%u201cEverything, really put it on.%u201d When a member of the audience complained that 14th C.D. Congressman John J. Rooney (D.-N.Y.), who had declined an invitation to attend the meeting, was unresponsive on the question, Clark suggested contactingRooney%u2019s allies, such asCongressman James J. Delaney (D. N.Y.)%u2014Jim KaplanThe Packer Collegiate Institute P.T.A. is sponsoring anOriental Rug Auction Sunday,Jan. 27. One of the largestdealers of orientals, D.
