PENNING, Ga. 0P> — Lt. William Galley’s defense rested Wednesday after he testified at his court-martial that during the mass execution of My Lai villag ers “the main thing was to go on, finish these people off as fast as possible and get my men out into position.” “It wasn’t any big deal,” the 27-year-old Galley said, referring to unresisting Vietnamese men, women and small children who fell beneath the automatic rifles of American infantrymen at a drainage ditch in My Lai on March 16, 1968. Galley ended the equivalent of two full court days of testimony at 4:32 p.m. — EST — and the defense immediately rested. The trial was recessed over night with the prosecution sched uled to present rebuttal testi mony Thursday from the first of three government psychiatrists. They examined Galley early this month and pronounced him “perfectly normal.” The trial began Nov. 12 and the government rested Dec. 8, re opening its case briefly for two supplementary witnesses. Galley is being tried by a six- man jury of superior officers. He is accused of the premedi tated murder of 102 civilians in My Lai while leading an infantry platoon of Charley Company on an assault mission near the South China Sea. The government said 70 or more of the victims died at the ditch. Galley admitted ordering the execution in the ditch, but said he did so under orders of super iors. However, the defendant denied the governor’s charge that he ordered killed, and helped kill, an additional 30 civilians along a trail in the village. Capt. Aubrey Daniel, the pros ecutor, completed his cross-exam ination in midafternoon, after interrogating Galley for the equivalent of a full court day. In one of the final exchanges Galley was asked: Q. Did you ever receive any instructions on how to treat pris oners ? A. Yes sir. To treat them respect. Don’t humiliate tl Keep them silent. Keep tki^" separate. Keep them guarded The defense had stressed Ci ; ley’s respect for his coup ; commander, Capt. Ernest Mej na, and his unquestioned otej ence to the latter’s orders, wli were said to include the shootii of anything that moved at I Lai. On redirect examination, cl* \ defense attorney George Latim asked Galley about adherencel Medina’s orders.

Th< 4 win. (1 The loss of certain agricultural chemicals, such as nitrogen ferti lizers and pesticides, could cause a drastic increase in food prices to the consumer. The prediction was made here Tuesday night by Dr. L. S. Pope, associate dean in the College of Agriculture, who spoke to about 200 persons attending the 19th annual Farm and Ranch Credit School for Commercial Bankers. He said the price jump to con sumers would result from lower farm production, even if farmers put now-idle land back into crops. Farmers currently depend on chemicals for about 90 percent of crop protection and fertilization. The associate dean said that chemicals have benefitted con sumers in making possible low- cost food, now averaging a little less than 17 percent of disposable income — the lowest in the world. Modern methods of production using chemicals have given the most attractive and wholesome food in the world. He added that food quality would be much lower without chemicals to protect not only crops and livestock, but to avoid losses in storage. “It should be remembered that many young people today have never known poor quality food, let alone a shortage of it,” Pope said. The speaker cited a special study by the College of Agricul ture staff which showed that if all chemicals were withdrawn, crop yields might fall 36 to 46 percent. Prices of basic food commodities would soar, and farm exports would drop precipitously. “If loss of agricultural chemi cals caused only a 15% reduction in yield of basic crops, consumers might be forced to pay 23 per cent more for the reduced out put,” he explained. “As popula tion increased, the situation would become worse since no reserve cropland would be available. A decline in rural economy would have many far reaching effects. Another factor to consider, Pope said, is that many nal in competition with the U,S,i: food and fiber production miii liberal use of chemicals. U. S. farmers will be at at? disadvantage if they were ‘It! nied reasonable use of the eta icals necessary for maximum duction.” Safe use of pesticides chemical fertilizer is possible,!* emphasized, and can be done»i improved knowledge and prata'joi tion methods. Efforts to reduce chemicals in crop producl should be accompanied by ito ped-up research to find new is safer materials for tomorrow. .ti» MU o ly MICH A1 talion S The Texa aa|orking on feek as it ilijinal two d Si.

At the same time he reported that “certain Soviet actions in the Middle East, Berlin and Cuba are not encour aging. Taken against a back ground of intensive and unre strained anti-American propa ganda, these actions inevitably suggest that intransigence re mains a cardinal feature of the Soviet system.” Nixon, dealing at length with the Vietnam war, was pessimis tic about prospects for a negoti ated peace. He said what Hanoi is demanding as a settlement price is in effect a takeover of South Vietnam. “We will not give up on» gotiations,” he said. On the other h a nd he purlheets.
