Galley’s defense rests in trial
FT. 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

Pesticide loss could increase prices

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.

his emphasis was on negotiation,
not confrontation. He invited
the Soviet Union to join in mu

time he reported that “certain
Soviet actions in the Middle East,
Berlin and Cuba are not encour

ground of intensive and unre

suggest that intransigence re

Nixon, dealing at length with
