Calley arrives at courthouse
Court-martial beis
for M Lai defendant
SAN FRANCISCO U - A
panel of federal judges ruled
yesterday that a federal grand
jury may not force a news-
man to appear or testify with-
out first showing a "compel-
ling public need" t h a t out-
w e i g h s First Amendment
guarantees of a free press, the
newsman's lawyer said.
John Bates, attorney for New
York Times newsman Earl Cald-
well, said a 16-page 9th Circuit
Court of Appeal decision to be re-
leased later rules in favor of Cald-
well in his contempt of court case.
Caldwell, a black, had been held
in contempt June 5 by U.S. Dis-
trict Court Judge Alfonse Zirpoll
for failing to appear before a fed-
eral grand jury investigating the
Black Panther party. Zirpoli stay-
ed execution of the order pending
outcome of the appeal to the Cir-
cuit Court.
Bates said he received a copy
of the opinion in the mail prior
to public announcement. In a tel-
ephone interview, he quoted the
court as writing "w h e r e It is
shown that the public's First
Amendment rights to be informed
would be jeopardized by a journ-
alist's appearance before a grand
Jury, even before such a witness
can be compelled to appear, the
government must make a show-
ing of a compelling need for the
witness' appearance."
On April 3, Zirpoli ruled Cald-
well must appear but would .not
have to disclose confidential as-
sociations unless the government
could prove that "compelling and
overriding national interest" re-
quired disclosure.
Caldwell's defense also asserted
the subpoena "very probably was
based on illegal electronic eves-
dropping," a c1aim Zirpoli re-
jected.
Caldwell, although supported by
the Times in his effort to protect
his sources had been fired by the
paper in June.
A memo to the staff of the
newspaper explained that "when a
reporter refuses to authenticate
his story the Times must, in a
formal sense, step aside," or have
doubt cast upon its own integrity.
The paper has continued to give
Caldwell"legal and financialas-
sistance however.
Caldwell's court battle has been
supported by many newsmen and
professional organizations, in-
cluding the Columbia Journalism
Review which wrote in its Fall
1970 issue that "Caldwell was try-
ing to give the old confidentiality
argument a new dimension - a
claim that journalists, as society's
auditors, must have a special in-
dependence to move freely in all
parts of that society."

NEW YORK ()-Dr. John W.
Gofman, a leading critic of the
Atomic Energy Commission, said
yesterday he has decided not to
testify in a landmark AEC hear-
ing on a proposed nuclear power
plant because the hearing is "a
kangaroo court."
Gofman, who works for the
AEC-supported Lawrence Radi-
ation Laboratory in Livermore.
Calif., urged instead that those
opposed to nuclear power plants
work to get a referendum on the
ballot calling for a moratorium
on construction.
The scientist's latest attack on
the AEC came as an industry
group, the Atomic Industrial
Forum, met in Washington and
heard forum president, Sher-
man R. Knapp, express concern
that environmental g r o u p s
would delay nuclear growth by
legal "harassment."
Controversy over nuclear pow-
er has grown with the develop-
ing environmental c o n c e r n,
whereas only a few years ago
the concept of cheap, clean pow-
er from the atom was widely ac-
cepted.
Gofman, with his colleague,
Dr. Arthur R. Tamplin, have be-
come leaders in the anti-AEC
movement. They argue that the
AEC, charged with promoting
the use of nuclear power, should
not be entrusted with regulating
that use.
Capt. Aubrey Daniel, the prose-
cutor, made a 22-minute opening
statement to the six court-martial
board members assigned to hear
the case.
Daniel said that Calley's pla-
toon found the village undefended
when the soldiers entered it on a
combat mission. He said t h a t
Calley and some of his men used
"full bursts of automatic fire" to
shoot "unarmed and undefended
men, women and children."
Daniel said Calley's 1st Platoon
of Charlie -Company was in the
forefront of a helicopter assault
into the area immediately west
of My Lai at 7:30 a.m. that day.
A group of the villagers were
placed in charge of two of Calley's
men, Pvt. Paul Meadlo and Pfc.
Dennis Conti, Daniel said. Then,
referring to Calley, the prosecu-
tor continued, "he told Conti and
Meadlo, 'take care of these peo-
ple.' They didn't know what the
accused meant when he said, 'Take
care of these people.' They didn't
know he had formed his intent."
"Lt. Calley returns," Daniel was
saying in his even voice. "He finds
Meadlo and Conti. 'Why haven't
you taken care of these people?'
he asks. 'We have taken care of
them, we are guarding them,' he
is told. Calley says, 'I mean kill
'em, waste em.'"
"Some tried to run. They didn't
make it. They were shot down dead
in cold blood on that trail."
A major test of the issues has
arisen in the proposal to build
a nuclear power plant on Long
Island. The hearing for the
plant, under way, is the first
since the passage of major fed-
eral environmental legislation.
An environmental group, the
Lloyd Harbor Study Group, has
made the hearing a test case,
and billed Gofman as ane of
their major witnesses. A sum-
mary of his testimony had been
given to newsmen in advance.
"The hearing is a charade, a
waste of time," Gofman said.
"It's beneath my dignity to
testify before that kangeroo
court."
