Kent State testimony denies orders for force
Gov. James A. Rhodes testified he never encouraged guardsmen to use unreasonable force during the 1970 Kent State protests. He said there were no orders given and described the period as nearly a state of war as authorities moved to stop antiwar demonstrations. The remarks came in a $46 million damages suit by victims and families against Rhodes and others.
