Sanctuary churches in California aid war resisters
Fourteen congregations in eight California cities pledge sanctuary to sailors and soldiers avoiding naval service. In Palo Alto First Presbyterian hosts Detroit native Richard Larson, AWOL on the carrier Midway, as Joan Baez and about 300 parishioners rally behind him. The Sanctuary Caucus, including Presbyterians, Quakers, Catholics and Lutherans, says it will not block arrests but aims to show broad antiwar support through church backing. Larson, supported by 2,000 parishioners from St Ann’s, Palo Alto Friends, and Berkeley Lutheran, contends the Vietnam War is a pointless waste of life as Navy officials seek voluntary return or Pentagon action.

Army mum on second massacre keeps veil of secrecy
The Pentagon refused to disclose details of a possible second massacre near My Lai citing potential prejudice to ongoing judicial reviews of Lt. William L. Calley Jr. While News reports suggest a parallel incident at My Khe with up to 100 civilians killed, the Army upheld a policy of no comment on pending legal matters. Separately, Sacramento lawmakers urged President Nixon to demand a full POW recount from North Vietnam before U.S. troop withdrawal.
