Ben- ning, Ga., was not called upon to appear at the hearing before the Army Court of Military Re view. Still-unpublished Army re ports say at least 347 innocent civilians died 1 at the hands of American troops, many of them under .Galley’s command, on March 16, 1968. Galley’s chief lawyer, George Latimer of Salt Lake City, called the search-and-destroy swaep “the worst-conceived and worst- handled combat operation I’ve heard of.” Another of Galley’s lawyers, Capt. Houston Gordon, said West moreland, Army commander in Vietnam at the time of the mas sacre, ordered a colonel on his staff to gather evidence in what Gordon said was a clear attempt to prejudice the outcome against Calley. Gordon said conflicting direc tives from Westmoreland’s office played a direct role in the final decision to convene a court-mar tial. Calley was originally sentenced to life, a sentence later reduced to 20 years, followed by Presi dent Nixon’s order to hold him under house arrest rather than in military prison. Gordon said Nixon played a hand in the decision to prosecute Calley and quoted a top-ranking officer at Ft. Benning as saying at the time, “I’d either be a fool or a jackass not to do what the President asks.” No ruling on the appeal of the court-martial’s conviction is ex pected for about two months. WASHINGTON <A>> — Defense spending in the coming fiscal year will not be cut as anticipat ed, Secretary of Defense Melvin R. Laird said Monday, but instead will top $80 billion. Laird said the total for his department in fiscal 1974 will go up at least $4 billion over the current $76 billion figure, mostly due to increased manpower costs. Laird’s forecast of “slightly more than $80 billion” was a change from predictions two weeks ago by a high-ranking Pentagon official who said he anticipated a cut from the fiscal 1973 spending schedule. Although Laird said details were lacking because planning had not been completed, he told newsmen that manpower cost in creases for the fiscal year start ing July 1 will eat up $3.9 billion alone. Pentagon sources said other inflationary costs and increased spending for research and devel opment would account for the rest of the 1974 jump. Laird discussed the budget sit uation just before he left for Brussels and the upcoming round of ministerial talks in the North Atlantic Treaty Organization. During his 15-minute news con ference, the secretary said he would stress in talks with the NATO ministers the necessity of avoiding unilateral manpower cuts. This is particularly important now, Laird said, because of the mutual balanced force reduction talks starting Jan. 31 with the Soviet Union and its allies. Such negotiations, which are aimed at slicing troop levels by both East and West, “depend to a large extent on NATO’s spirit and the maintenance of a strong NATO alliance,” Laird stated. “It is essential to go forward” with defense programs if the alliance is to avoid the appearance of weakness that would “jeopar- Anderson, Gross Win Finale Rallye Vernon D.

Reduction In Pot Penalty Favored AUSTIN UP) — The National Organization for the Reform of Marijuana Laws (NORML) said Thursday most Texas legislators favor reducing the penalty for possession of marijuana to a mis demeanor. Stephen Simon, legislative di rector of the organization, said a telephone poll of 127 of the 181 state legislators recently showed that only two state senators and three House members favor keep ing present laws that treat pos session of marijuana as a felony. Simon said the poll showed that 77 House members actually favor making possession of mari juana only a misdemeanor. Simon would not release names of any legislators. Simon said NORML did not plan to sponsor any specific bill in the 1973 legislature but would lobby for its program of “de criminalization” that would allow private use of marijuana, or alternative. will 113 Typing.

Army Cadets To Train In Kansas A&M Army ROTC cadets will train next summer at Fort Riley, Kan., one of five active Army posts selected to conduct 1973 training for 7,000 college stu dents. TAMU will send about 180 ca dets to the Riley camp and a few selected volunteers will attend the special Ranger camp at Fort Ben ning, Ga., noted Col. Thomas R. Parsons, commandant. He said the two Riley cycles are set for June 9 to July 20 and June 16 to July 27. The ROTC camp will also operate in two cycles, June 8 to Aug. 10 and June 29 to Aug. 31. The Secretary of the Army, Robert F. Froehlke, announced that six-week advanced ROTC camps also will be located at Fort Bragg, N. C., and Fort Lewis, Wash. An ROTC basic camp at Fort Knox, Ky., will qualify stu dents to enter the two-year Army ROTC program. Froehlke said there will be one less advanced camp than last year due to an expected 2,000-student decrease in attendance.

In the course of the trial of Jesus, “Pilate said unto them, What shall 1 do then with Jesus which is called Christ?” (Matt. 27:22). Pilate would rather not have had to decide the case of our Lord. But Christ was “on his hands” and he had to do some thing. He had to make a decision and answer this question then. We have to do the same now. The very nature of the claims of Jesus makes it necessary for men to form some opinion of Him, to have some attitude toward Him, and to follow some course of action in regard to Him. Where Christ is concerned, we cannot be neutral or non-committal. Even seeking to ignore Him is a decision against Him. “He that is not with me is against me; and he that gathereth not with me scattereth abroad” Matt. 12:30). This places every person in a position of being either actively for or against Jesus. There is no place for lukewarm neutrality (Rev. 3:15, 16). We are forced to make a decision every day of our lives about what to do with Jesus. We can accept and obey Him, thus becoming heirs of His precious promises; or we can reject Him now and be rejected by Him later. What we do with Him today will determine what He does with us tomorrow. “What shall I do then with Jesus which is called Christ?” The people then present responded: “Let him be crucified.” And Pilate did. What will your answer be ? What will you do with Jesus who is called Christ? TWIN CITY CHURCH OF CHRIST 3610 Plainsman Lane Bryan, Texas Phone 846-4515 or 846-0804
