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." 00 N U fny one of 5 Creedence Clearwater a s "33 * as' a"U a° °U ~ ° U~ i ° mm " U.ass ~ sa" U°a aa aU.
