Jurist Clark to Continue Work Ignore Firing
FRANKFURT Germany Chief Justice William Clark of the U S Court of Appeals said he had been fired by the State Department for refusing orders but would ignore the dismissal and remain in his post. Clark, a Princeton graduate, led a three man task force for the American Bar Association in Germany to probe telephone wiretaps at U S High Commissioner James B Conant’s headquarters. He said a cable declared him surplus and not to be reappointed when his term ends January 8, prompting his claim that judges cannot be disciplined for not taking orders. The State Department cited a decline in court business and economy as reasons for nonrenewal.
