Medina Testimony Contradicts Calley At My Lai Trial
Capt Ernest Medina testified about his first panicky thought after My Lai carnage and warned troops not to kill civilians. He contradicted Calley on orders to wipe out civilians and described fearing artillery or gunship fire caused the killings. Medina faces a similar murder charge as Calley with potential death sentence, while S Sgt Mitchell faces acquittal on unrelated charges. Medina, 34, from Montrose, Colo, joined National Guard in 1952 and earned an Army OCS slot in 1964.

Ohio Share: Nixon proposes $1.1B rural revenue plan
President Nixon asks Congress to approve a $1.1 billion revenue sharing program for rural development in 1972, granting Ohio about $35.66 million and West Virginia over $65 million. The plan dissolves $921 million in federally run programs including the Appalachian Regional Commission, drawing protests from governors seeking continued local control. Nixon argues revenue sharing will unify development efforts.
