CAPT. ERNEST L. MEDINA, testified yesterday that he sent
a group of infantrymen into My Lai, led by Lt. William L. Calley,
with specific instructions to spare women and children.
Both Medina and Calley are on trial for killing 102 Vietnamese
civilians in the March 16, 1968 infantry assault on My Lai.
Medina was questioned by the presiding judge, after the prose-
cution and the defense had rested their cases. Both will have a chance
to cross-examine Medina at a later date.
Yesterdays testimony ended earlier speculation that Medina might
plead the fifth amendment.
He also said that it was Calley who reported that 69 enemy had
been killed. This contradicted Calley's earlier statements in which he
repeatedly asserted that he did not give Medina a body count on the
day of the operation.

THE DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH, EDUCATION AND WEL-
FARE reported yesterday that seven of the nation's 20 largest
cities have more than one resident in 10 on welfare rolls.
Boston leads the list with 15.3 percent receiving public assistance
followed by New York City, Baltimore, St. Louis, San Francisco, Phila-
delphia and Newark.
The HEW report found that the proportion of intercity residents
receiving welfare exceeded the rate in the suburban counties by more
than 3 to 1.
HEW Secretary Elliot Richardson said the findings "highlight the
urgency of reforming the present system, which not only burdens our
states and cities, but fails to give the poor the means or incentive to
climb out of poverty."

At 7:20 p.m. militiamen separated the dissidents into groups of 25
and when a high ranking militia officer appeared and gave the pro-

A FEDERAL JUDGE yesterday issued a temporary injunction
blockng th:UniedTransportation Union from a threatened strike
The Union, representing some 150,000 trainmen, had scheduled a
strike for 2:00 p.m. today against the Burlington and Northern and the
Atlantic Coast Line Railroads, to bring pressure on the Industry in a
wage dispute.
The union; apparently would still be free to strike all of the nation's
railroads because all delaying procedures under the Railway Labor
Act have been exhausted.
In addition, a special law enacted by Congress to halt a national
walkout Dec. 10 expired on March 1.

NEW DELHI, India (A') - Prime
Minister Indira Gandhi's Con-
gress party headed toward a land-
slide victory early this morning
in India's Parliament elections,
defeating opposition from the left
and right.
Gandhi appears assured of an
absolute majority in the new Par-
liament, ending the necessity of
relying on independents and Com-
munists to keep her government
in power.
Her party won 144 of the 191
results announced for t h e 518-
member Parliament and was lead-
ing in a majority of the other con-
*eO*ther parties winning seats: the
Hindu nationalist Jana Sangh
7; the Congress party faction op-
Communists 2; regional parties
and independents 10.
A four party opposition alliance
that had hoped to oust Gandhi
was falling in its efforts all over
the country.
Gandhi led her party in piling
up individual victories by retain-
ing her own seat in Uttar Pra-
desh, her home state, with a plur-
ality of more than 100,000 votes-

RESTLESS CHILDREN
Govt. approves drug treatment
WASHINGTON (A) - A federal
panel of experts endorsed yester-
day the use of stimulant drugs in
treating a childhood m a 1 a d y
characterized by extreme restless-
ness.
But the committee of education
and medical specialists said care
must be taken in diagnosing the
illness, known as hyperkinetic be-
havorial disturbances and warned
that drug treatment must not take
the place of special classes and
counselling.
"In summary, there is a place
for stimulant medications in the
treatment of the hyperkinetic be-
havioral disturbance, but these
medications are not the only form
of effective treatment," said the
panel headed by Dr. Daniel Freed-
man, Chairman of t h e Depart-.
ment of Psychiatry at the Univer-
sity of Chicago.
The Department of Health, Ed-
ucation and Welfare appointed
the committee in the w a k e of
news reports and a congressional
investigation of possible misuse ofl
stimulant drugs k n o w n as am-
phetamines in treating the rest-
less child syndrome.
The 15-member panel did not
pass judgment on charges t h a t
parents have sometimes been coer-
ced by school officials into allow-
ing drug use for their children.
But it advised that "under no
circumstances should any attempt
be made to coerce parents to ac-
cept any particular treatment."
The panel rejected most com-
plaints lodged against ampheta-
mine treatment of the disease.
It said, for example, that the
drugs are used in such low doses
there Is no risk of toxicity for the
children, and that there is no evi-
dence that early use of the stim-
ulants leads to later drug abuse
or addiction or that the medica-
tion handicaps children emotion-
ally.
The hyperkinetic behavioral dis-
turbance affects about three of ev-
ery 100 elementary school chil-
dren, the committee said. It is
characterized by poor attention in
class, disordered behavior, and
intense physical and mental over-
activity.
The committee cautioned that
care must be taken to avoid mis-
diagnosing the hyperkinetic dis-
order, whose cause is unknown.
