PENNING, Ga. bT) — An erect as the trial judge. Col. Reid CHILDREN TAKE A LOOK at and get the feel of a city street in Fullerton, Cal., which is the first in the nation made with a new paving material composed of more than a mil lion used glass bottles and called glasphalt. The road is in a relatively remote area and is only 600 feet long. It is made of almost the same materials used for asphalt paving, with glass substituted for gravel and stone. (AP Wirephoto) Army prosecutor began the court-martial of Lt. William L. Galley Tuesday by charging that the officer “shot down in cold blood” unarmed men, women and children at the tiny village of My Lai in 1968. Galley, one of 10 soldiers charged with committing atroci ties at My Lai, is accused of the premeditated murder of 102 ci vilians. Capt. Aubrey Daniel, the prosecutor, made a 22-minute opening statement to the six court-martial board members as signed to hear the case. Daniel said that Galley’s pla- todh found the village undefend ed when the soldiers entered it on a combat mission. He said that Galley and some of his men used “full bursts of automatic fire” to shoot “unarmed and un defended men, women and chil dren.” Galley faces death or life im prisonment if he is convicted. Just before Daniel began his opening statement, Galley stood 3|MnkAg«Spcdafii! LORD MARLIN TURKEYS^ 18 to 22 Lbs.

DOWNTOWN RIDGECREST Kennedy, asked him in a routine procedure: “Lt. Galley, are you ready to plead?” “I plead not guilty,” Galley re plied. Then the 5 foot 3 defendant sat down and leaned forward with his elbows on the defense table. His face appeared flushed as Daniel began his opening ad dress. “What did the accused do in My Lai in March 16, 1968?” Dan iel, 29, asked the jury of six Army officers. “We will try to put you there ...” Daniel said Galley’s 1st Pla toon of Charlie Company was in the forefront of a helicopter as sault into the area immediately west of My Lai at 7:30 a.m. that day. “They didn’t receive any fire from that village,” Daniel de clared. “They found the village to be undefended. They found women, they found children, they found old men, not armed. They found them in their hootchies. Some were eating breakfast.” A group of the villagers were placed in charge of two of Gal ley’s men, Pvt. Paul Meadlo and Pfc. Dennis Conti, Daniel said. Then, referring to Galley, the prosecutor continued, “he told Conti and Meadlo, ‘take care of these people.’ They didn’t know what the accused meant when he said, ‘Take care of these people. 1 They didn’t know he had formed his intent.” Galley stuck the tip of a yel low pencil in his mouth, his eyes riveted on Daniel’s back as the prosecutor stood facing the jury across the red-carpeted court room across from the defense table. “Lt. Galley returns,” Daniel was saying in his even voice. “He finds Meadlo and Conti. ‘Why haven’t you taken care of these people?’ he asks. ‘We have taken care of them, we are guarding them,’ he is told. Gal ley says, ‘I mean kill ’em, waste ’em.’ “The people were sitting on the ground, offering no resist ance at all. With full bursts of automatic fire, Galley and Mead lo shot these people, these un armed and undefended men, women and children. “Some tried to run. They didn’t make it. They were shot down dead in cold blood on that trail.” By now, Daniel said, Meadlo was weeping at the enormity of his deed and some other mem bers of the platoon were trying to sneak away from the carnage. Career library will be added A career browsing library through which students may learn of prospective employers has been added to the Basic Col lection of the University Library. Library Director John B. Smith said company materials of inter est to students in many disci plines are being gathered. Robert C. Reese, university di rector of placement and corpor ate support, is cooperating in the project. More than 150 representative publications are shelved near the newspapers and magazines sec tions of the basic collection on the first floor. Additional ma terials are being received daily in response to Placement Office letters. Employee magazines, company career information for prospec tive employees, annual reports and other publications are being received. Texas oriented and na tional corporations in banking, industry and trade are currently represented in the career brows ing library. Materials in the collection are relatively brief and may be read easily in the library. Smith said. COURT’S SADDLERY ... FOR WESTERN WEAR OR FOR YOUR MARE. FOR SHOE REPAIR BRING IN A PAIR. 403 N.
