Black Officials Seek Impeachment The Western Regional Conference of Black Elected Officials, meeting in Los Angeles over the weekend, called for the impeachment of President Nixon if he fails to appear before congressional committees to clear up his part in the Watergate situation. The officials from California and western states reaching from Texas to Oregon, also passed a resolution con gratulating the citizens of Los Angeles for "proving that they can rise above racism" by electing Tom Bradley as mayor. The impeachment resolution urges President Nixon to "follow the examples of President Lincoln, Wilson and others before him" in agreeing to appear before congress to answer questions. If he re fuses, the resolution urges congress to begin the “commencement of impeach ment proceedings as the only remaining recourse to restoration of faith in the Presidency." About 300 persons attended the one day session at International Hotel in Los Angeles.
