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.

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. ml SEATS ON SALE! $1-$4.50!
