POLL TO PROSECUTE NIXON. Washington. Representative Peter Rodino launched the first survey in more than a century to determine whether there are grounds for impeaching President Richard Nixon. There is the solemn promise of the judicial commission of the Lower House of Congress, in charge of the procedure, to face the task in accordance with its high constitutional responsibility. At the beginning of the investigative ceremony on the possibility of impeaching Nixon, broadcast on television, Rodino and Edmundo Hutchinson, a prominent Republican politician, made brief statements. The commission then began four-day reserved sessions to consider the evidence gathered so far. Several Liberal Democrats tried to have all commission meetings open to the public, but their motion was defeated by 31 votes to six. “I do not need to emphasize once again the importance of our mission and the wisdom, decency and principle with which we must fulfill it,” said Rodino, who chairs the Judicial Commission. The inaugural session of the survey was attended by Nixon’s main lawyer in the Watergate case, James St.Clair, who, at the insistence of the Republican members of the commission, has the power to be present at the sessions and present witnesses. “I predict that Nixon will not be put on trial,” St.Clair said.
