Lawyers for Capt. Ernest L. Medina await White House input on allowing two Vietnamese interpreters to testify at the trial at Fort McPherson. The defense seeks government intercession after the South Vietnamese government refused to permit the witnesses to testify in person. The interpreters Guerra Neuyen Dinh Phu and Duong Minh were present at My Lai during the March 16 1968 assault. Medina, turning 35, is charged with the murder of 102 Vietnamese, with prosecutors alleging additional killings and failure to intervene.
