liam Westmoreland that Young
be demoted to colonel.
Koster, 51, and Young, 50, can
choose either to retire or re-
main in the Army. For Koster,
demotion means a cut in both
his active duty pay and retire-
ment benefits.
Rep. Samuel Stratton (D-
N.Y.), a member of the House
Arm e d Services Committee
which conducted its own inves-
tigation of My Lai, s a i d the
punishment "amounts to little
more than a slap on the wrist."
"At a time when one junior
officer Lt. William Calley Jr.
is under a court-martial sen-
tence of life imprisonment for
his role in My Lai, the question
of whether the top officers did
or did not deliberately try to
hide the facts of My Lai can
o n 1 y be properly answered in
formal court martial," Stratton
said.
The Army earlier had dismiss-
ed criminal charges accusing
the two generals of covering up
the slaughter of Vietnamese ci-
vilians at My Lai by Calley's
company.
But Resor, in announcing his
action in a nine page statement,
said "an officer's performance
of duty not only must be lawful
but also must conform to the
established standards of his pro-
fession."
Ogden Nash
dies at 68
BALTIMORE (tP) - Ogden
Nash, whose broken-line limer-
icks poked f u n at everything
from morality to vegetables, died
yesterday at Johns Hopkins
Hospital. He was 68.
Nash had been receiving kid-
ney treatment at the hospital
following abdominal surgery in
March.
'For four decades, ever since
his unusual rhyme scheme
caught the eye of a New Yorker
editor, Nash stuck pins in the
pompous, chided the overly ser-
ious and amused everyone.
Nash's satire, was a little
sharp around the edges, bu t
never bitter. Its wisdom came
from a wealth of insight rather
than one philosophy.
He found cheerful and flip-
pant fault with such items as
women's hats and other people's
children. B u t the Nash irony
had a mixture of tenderness and
love of life that quickly won him
friends.
