CAPT. ERNEST L. MEDINA, who commanded U.S. ground
troops at My Lai and was found innocent of all charges in con-
nection with the massacre, was honorably discharged from the
Army yesterday.
Medina was acquitted Sept. 22 on charges stemming from the
1968 attack on the Vietnamese village. He said he had "no regrets
whatsoever" at resigning from the Army after serving 16 years.
He then disclosed his new job as assistant to the chairman of
the board of the R.J. Enstrom Company of Menominee, Mich., a
helicopter manufacturer owned primarily by his defense attorney F.
Lee Bailey.
ELDRIDGE CLEAVER, self-exiled Black Panther leader,
said yesterday in Algiers that he plans to return soon to the
United States, devoting himself to the guerrilla struggle of blacks,
Puerto Ricans and other urban minorities.
Stating that his heart "is quite clearly in the United States," the
36-year-old revolutionary expressed confidence in avoiding arrest
even though he is a California fugitive. He fled in 1968 after his
parole was revoked following a police shootout.
Cleaver spoke bitterly of moves by the People's Republic of China
toward reconciliation with the United States, which he said helped
convince him that "oppressed people" had no recourse except armed
struggle by their own means.
WASHINGTON UP - Members of the newly created Pay
Board and Price Commission will be named within the next
few days and will probably hold their first meetings next
week, the White House said yesterday.
"It's important that these people gather next week, and
do the work the President has assigned," Donald Rumsfeld,
newly named director of the Cost of Living Council, told
newsmen.
Time is becoming crucial on the appointments, since
the 90-day freeze expires Nov. 13.
The Pay Board and the Price -
Commission will have chief re-
sponsibility for developing wage 1
and price standards for the post-
Rumsfield spoke to newsmen as
President Nixon issued an execu- In
tive order setting up the mechan-
isms of the Phase 2 economic pro-
gram along the outlines sketched;Senate delay
earlier by the White House.

Nogisa Oshima's prizewinning film
Diary ofa
Shinjuku Burglar
An erotic mystery, a phantasmagorical work by
"Japan's esthetically and politically most radicaj
filmmaker."
"Directed with blazing dynamism and superb tech-
nique, a strange, arresting film. Genuinely fascina-
tion in its outspoken iconoclasm."-Variety.
Two lovers in search of "blue ecstasy" try psycho-
analysis, voyeurism, rape, and the Shinjuku district
explodes into student riots. Really far out.
DR. SIMON KUZNETS, retired Harvard professor and econ-
omist, was yesterday awarded the Nobel Prize in Economics.
Kuznets helped work out the methods used to determine a na-
tion's Gross National Product (GNP), which in an index of goods
and services.
The Swedish Royal Academy awarded the prize to Kuznets for
his "empirically founded interpretation of economic growth . .."
It was the second year in a row that an American had received
the economics prize, and the second day in a row that an American
had won a Nobel Prize.

HOME-BEFORE-CHRISTMAS ORDERS were issued for 12
more Army units with a total strength of 4,650 men. The cutback
was the second largest since the U.S. began disengaging from theI
war in mid-1969.
Present U.S. strength in Vietnam is 210,000 men and a cut to
184,000 men is scheduled by Dec. 1. At its peak in April, 1969, U.S.
troops numbered 543,000 men.
Meanwhile, the U.S. command also announced that an unarmed1
American photo plane was fired upon 95 miles north of the D.M.Z.
It marked one of the deepest penetrations into the North disclosed
this year.

THE CHARLOTTE-MECKLENBURG, N.C. SCHOOL BOARD
has asked a federal appeals court to overturn the desegregation
plan 'which last April led to a Supreme Court decision that mas-
sive busing is a valid desegregation tool.
In the court ordered plan of Judge James McMillan Jr. about
40,000 of the district's 86,000 students are being bused. In the plan
submitted by the board, about 28,000 students would be bused.
The board claimed that McMillan misapplied Supreme Court guide-
lines in rejecting the board's proposal and that court approved plans
in other districts accomplished less balance than their own plan.

FOOD AND DRUG Administration official Malcolm Jensen,
told the Senate subcommittee on the environment yesterday that
he disagrees with Surgeon General Jesse Steinfeld's advice to use
phosphate detergents.
Phosphates have been blamed for despoiling bodies of water be-
cause they promote the growth of algae which uses up all the oxygen.
Steinfeld stated at a news conference several weeks ago that
housewives should use phosphates because non-phosphate detergents
are caustic and a danger to children.
Instead of turning away from non-phosphate detergents, Jensen
said, educational programs about keeping products out of the hands
of children should be intensified.

Explosions at the Massachu-
setts Institute of Technology in
Cambridge, Mass., and at the
Iranian consulate in San Fran-
cisco yesterday caused heavy
damage but no injuries, author-
ities in each community report-
ed.
A bomb planted in a ladies'
room in MIT'stGrover Hermann
Building on the fourth floor,
where Daniel Ellsberg has an
office, caused what police said
was "extensive damage."
Ellsberg, who has stated he
leaked the Pentagon Papers to
the Press. said his office was
not damaged.
Warned by the editors of a
Boston newspaper who received
a telephone call, city police ar-
rived at the vacant building,
which houses the Center for In-
ternational Studies, just as the
bomb went off.
San Francisco Fire Chief
Keith Calden termed the con-
sulate blast in the exclusive
Presidio Heights section "the
biggest explosion I can remem-
ber."
Occurring during Iran's 2,-
500th anniversary celebration,
the blast, which police believe
was caused by a bomb, sent gas-
fed flames through the three-
story, wood-frame building.
No suspects in either incident
have been seized, although
neighbors of the Iranian con-
sulate said they saw a man
standing beneath a lamp post
before the blast and that he
left in a van afterward.

RUINS of the Iranian consulate are inspected by San Francisco
firemen. An explosion originated in the basement yesterday and
broke windows as many as two blocks away.

In addition, the administration
sought to make formal an agree-
ment reached with top labor lead-
ers earlier this week, in which the
15-member Pay Board and seven-
member Price Commision will have
an almost unfettered hand in de-
veloping wage-price criteria.
Treasury Secretary John B. Con-
nally, chairman of the Cost of
Living Council, signed two orders
delegating to the respective boards
the power to "establish criteria,
standards, and implementation
procedures to stabilize wages and
salaries, prices and rents in the
case of the Price Commission,
within the general economic stab-
ilization goals and coverage de-
termination developed by the
council."
Although this appeared to meet
the objections of labor, Rums-
feld fielded a barrage of ques-
tions on whether Nixon had in-
corporated the agreement into the
executive order and delegation of
authority.
"It is consistent with the agree-
ment with labor," Rumsfeld said.
In other economic developments,
the Nixon administration won a
major trade victory when an agree-
ment was reached in Japan,
South Korea, Taiwan and Hong
Kong to restrain the flow of non-
cotton textiles into the U n i t e d
States.
As a result, the United States is
lifting the 10 per cent import sur-
charge on noncotton textile im-
ports. The surcharge does not ap-
ply to imports covered by quota
C agreements.

Advocates of equal rights for
women may find they premature-
ly celebrated a recent victory in
their 48-year war for a consti-
tutional rights guarantee.
The constitutional amendment
prohibiting s e x discrimination
that passed in the House earlier
this week will not be considered
by the Senate until'sometime next
year.
The House sent to the states
for ratification an amendment ex-
tending specifically to women the
"equal protection of the law"
guaranteed by the 14th Amend-
ment.
Sen. Mike Mansfield, the Demo-
cratic floor leader, said Wednes-
day that the amount of business
during the rest of the session
would probably make it impossi-
ble to bring the controversial pro-
posal to the floor before adjourn-
ment.
The amendment will be -the
subject of "extended debate" when
it reaches the floor, the Demo-
cratic leader forecast.
"Changes making it unaccept-
able to its sponsors will probably
be proposed," he added.
Primary sponsors of the pro-
posed amendment to the Constitu-
tion in the House were Rep. Bella
Abzug (D-N.Y.) and Rep. Martha
Griffiths (D-Mich.). Both wom-
en have long been active in fight-
ing within Congress for increased
women's rights.

"The United States has become a legal-
ized police state," journalist-author Sam-
uel Yette charged Thursday.
Yette spoke to over 250 at a speech
jointly sponsored by the Center for Afri-
can and Afro-American Studies and the
Black Student Psychological Association.
Yette discussed his book, The. Choice,
which examines what he terms the "geno-
cide of black people in the United States."
He spoke of a "new level of conscious-
ness" where Americans can discuss what
is wrong with their country-a necessity
because of the danger of the rationaliza-
tion of atrocity.
"Our country has the ability to ration-
alize any atrocity from My Lai to Attica
and put the blame on the people," he
said.
Yette compared American policy today
to German laws during World War II.
The reason Hitler was able to legally
put so many people in concentration
camps, Yette said, was because in Ger-
many there was a "no-knock" law and a
law by which one could be jailed without
due process of law.i
In the United States a no-knock law al-
ready exists in the District of Colum-
bia, he pointed out, and some congress-
men have suggested that it be made na-
tional law.
The tragedy here is that black people
have long believed that they could find
justice in the courts, Yette stated. How-
ever, "the courts have become parties to
the crime."
Yette described the "white nigger"-a
white person who is socially and econom-
ically expendable. Examples he gave of
"wAite niggers" were the guards at At-
tica-who Yette said thought of them-
selves as being white, but were consid-
ered "niggers" by Gov. Rockefeller-and
the students killed at Kent State. In this
respect, he said, they were like the in-
mates at Attica or the students at Jack-
son State.
"When Western man must choose be-
tween his systems or his sons, his sons
will lose," he said.
Because of Attica, Yette pointed out, we
have come to understand that "human
values (for both blacks and whites) are
read almost totally in socio-economic
terms." Blacks, he said, have no social or
economic value; the "white niggers" have
little socio-economic value.
The concept of the "white nigger" was'
important, he continued, because they are
the largest group in the United States, and
can be "catalytic in the whole struggle"
for survival against genocide.
