For mer attorney general Ramsey Clark charged Sunday that the Nixon administration's handling of the demonstrators in the three weeks of peace demon strations this spring was "in my judgment, lawless." He said the manner in which the administration first sought a court order against the Vietnam Veterans Against the War for camping on the Capitol grounds and then failed to enforce the order was a usurpation of the judiciary's authority. No Alternative Clark, who represented the veterans, declared: "I would have enforced the order of the Supreme Court or resigned. I don't think an enforcement officer has the alternative." Clark, appearing on the CBS program "Face the Nation," also criticized the mass arrests that occurred during the May Day demonstrations. ''It is intolerable in my judgment in a free society for the police to ever act in excess of the law, and you can-n arrest people except where you have evidence that they have violated the law," said Clark, who served as the attorney general in the last years of the Johnson administration. tie said of the mass arrests.

"You've got to charge them formally; you've got to be prepared to prosecute them, and if this government and this nation permit police to merely pick people up and incarcerate them, detain them because we're frightened, we've lost our freedom, and it's going to be a more violent time ahead no alternative." Clark was critical of the Justice Department for failing to enforce the order against the Vietnam Veterans despite the fact that the order "was against me and my clients, and I urged my clients to obey the order. That's the only way I know to achieve social change without violence. Ask for Change Having obtained the court or der, Clark maintained, the government had no choice but to enforce it or go back to the court and ask that it be changed. "That's not their order," Clark declared. "It doesn't belong to them if we've a government of laws; it belongs to the court, to the judiciary, to the integrity of the law and it has to be enforced or modified." ISTANBUL, TURKEY (AP) Rescue workers continued to drag living and dead from the ruins of Bingol, eastern Turkey, Sunday, and the death toll from Saturday's earthquake mounted toward 1,000.

The quake destroyed 90 per cent of the town, including the hospital, prison and high school. The official death toll now stands at about 800 half of them in the town itself and the rest in outlying villages. Officials said, however, contact still had not been made with many of the mountainous province's 322 villages and hamlets. The province's popu lation is 150,521. Stark Tragedy According to a few sketchy reports from Bingol, mostly by radio, the scene there was one of stark tragedy, with survivors scrabbling in the ruins for rev-latives and friends.

"It's horrible," shouted a telephone operator in a brief conversation from a quake-struck town near Bingol. The earthquake hit Bingol while residents were preparing for bed. The town was plunged into darkness, and steady rain hampered rescue work. Turkish authorities, drilled in earthquake relief techniques after annual disasters since 1966, began sending relief supplies into the area.
