Calley verdict and response at My Lai court martial

The court martial led by Col Ford found Lt. Calley guilty of premeditated murder of unresisting Vietnamese on the trail, and assault with intent to kill. Kennedy delivered instructions, the jury sentenced him to life imprisonment, dismissal from the army, and forfeiture of pay. The verdict sparked national outrage and a presidential review initiated by Richard Nixon, with public debate over command responsibility and military justice.

Backers Push Draft Mills For Democratic Nomination

WASHINGTON AP backers report a growing push to draft Rep. Wilbur Mills D Ark for president though Mills insists he is not running. In a KSLA taped interview he said he would consider a nomination only if the convention deadlocks and the mantle falls on him. Mills noted he hopes for a ticket at least as attractive as the current one and seeks to influence a potential brokered convention. Rep. Joe D Waggonner Jr also appeared on the program signaling support. Arkansans at a U S Chamber of Commerce meeting in Washington wore Mills for President ribbons.
