William Guinn, Maj. Charles Calhoun, and Maj. Frederick W. Watke - accused in the alleged coverup of the My Lai case were dropped yesterday, the Army said, because of "insufficient evidence." The four were part of a group of fourteen officers who were charged last March after an army panel reported evidence indicating that "certain persons, wittingly or unwittingly, suppressed certain information about the incident from passing up the chain of com- mand." * * * LOCKHEED AIRCRAFT CORP. rejected yesterday the gov- ernment's offer to settle its dispute on the controversial C5 trans- port plane project. The firm said that it would instead seek to recover its lossesj through litigation. The Pentagon had offered to settle the tangled dispute if Lock- heed would take a $200 million fixed loss. Deputy Defense Secretary David Packard also offered the alternative plan which Lockheed has chosen to accept, involving drawn-out litigation. Through this process, spokesmen for Lockheed said the company hopes to gain a better financial settlement than the government had offered. PARIS L4'-- The U.S. combat role in South Vietnam will end after the middle of next summer, when the South Viet- namese will take over the military burden, Defense Secretary Melvin Laird said yesterday. However, according to Laird, U.S. forces will continue to protect logistics, air and artillery bases. "We will have an air support role and the combat forces which will be assigned to the logistics, support and artillery roles will not be a combat mission but will be a security mis- sion," he told a news conference. "They will be there to protect and support the forces that are assigned these roles , . . We will be in a position where the American combat respon * * * THE HUMAN GROWTH HORMONE has been artifically synthesized for the first time, a University of California bio- chemistry professor, Dr. C. H. Li, announced yesterday. The discovery represents a research milestone in man's quest for an understanding of the chemical basis of the body's function. The achievement by the Hormone Research Laboratory at U of C.'s San Francisco campus may lead to the eventual elimination of most forms of dwarfism; a new method of controling cholesterol, as- sociated with arteriosclerosis and heart disease; and a possible cure for cancer. *k * * THE TRIAL of nine Jews in Leningrad was suddenly halted yesterday ten minutes after it opened. Reports circulated that the Soviet government had decided to cancel any further prosecution of Jews. Relatives of the Leningrad defendants had been told by court officials that the trial had been postponed because one of the de- fendants was ill with influenza. However, a correspondent for the F r e n c h communist paper L'Humanite reported that there would be no further trials of Jews. Though there was no official confirmation of the report, the Soviet government frequently uses correspondents of Western com- munist papers to leak information. * 3 * THE PENTAGON said yesterday that it is sending agents around the globe to determine the total cost of the country's foreign arms program. A defense spokesman said the United States spent $4.8 billion during the fiscal year to provide arms to other nations, but added that the figure does not include millions or possibly billions of dollars in assistance to Vietnam or in military sales. -Associated Pre An empty paper rack, an untended garbage can, and a municipa Iemploye picketing were seen in Pittsburgh yesterday as a strik by city workers, newspaper pressmen, and city school teacher continued.

An aide explained: "We will al- ways have American troops pro- _jtecting the remaining forces.' {Thus,if the enemy attacks t h e bases, U.S. troops will be drawn into battle.

'Wiretap in bombing e ase found r ,= By GERI SPRUNG It became apparent last month that the government had b e e n wiretapping in the case of Law- rence (Pun) Plamondon, a White Panther Party official accused of bombing the Ann Arbor Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) office in September of 1968. That wiretapping had been used became known when the justice department submitted tapes to the U.S. District Court in Detroit, af- ter a judge ordered that they sub- f mit any tapes relevant to the case. The judge will decide next week whether the tapes will be admis- sible as evidence in the case. The government claims that the wire- taps were legal and national se- curity was involved, though it did not originally disclose that t h e tapes had been made. According to Buck Davis, an at- torney for the defense, the de- fense requested several months ago that it be permitted to obtain any wiretaps related to the case. In response to that motion, the judge ordered the U.S. attorney to produce any tapes which might have been made. Now the Justice Department has forwarded some tapes to the judge. The tapes are not to be seen by either the defense or prosecuting attorneys unless the judge rules that they are admissible as evi- dence. Also accused in thercase are two other White Panthers, John Sin- clair and Jack Forrest. All three are accused of conspiracy and Plamondon is also accused of car- rying out the actual bombing. The conspiracy charge carries a maximum penalty of five years in prison and a $10,000 fine. The second count, only naming Pla- mondon, carries a maximum pen- alty of ten years in prison and $10,000 fine. There are no mini- mum penalties. The FBI investigated the bomb- ing of the CIA office, which hand- led prospective agents from the University and Michigan State University. The bombing, which caused $6,000 worth of damage, occured after six similar blasts in the Detroit area. One year later, a Detroit grand jury indicted the three Panthers on the conspiracy charge. Police then began an interstate search for Plamondon, and he was appre- hended nine months later by Michigan State Police who charg- ed him with carrying a concealed weapon.
