SAIGON-The escalation of the
Indochina War into three nations has put
a severe strain on Communist manpower
and cut North Vietnam's home defense
force to only 15,000 regulars, U.S.
military sources said Wednesday.
Communist forces were described as
"really stretched to the limit" in South
Vietnam, Cambodia and Laos with more
than 186,000 North Vietnamese troops
spread over the three-country theater of
South Vietnam, Cambodia and Laos.
North " Vietnamese commanders,
military sources said, have committed
about i 30,000 men to counter South
Vietnam's offensive against the Ho Chi
Minh Trail in Laos while holding about
20,000 more in reserves outside North
Vietnamese borders.
The achievements of the South
Vietnamese offensive were reflected
Wednesday in two developments: the
moving of North Vietnamese supply lines
westward, deeper into Laos away from
the main South Vietnamese-force and
increasingly heavy pressures by
Communist units on the Bolovens Plateau
in extreme southern Laos.
Dispatches from the Laotian capital of
Vientiane said Communist units had
overrun five government outposts on the
Bolovens Plateau and were in control of
one part of the area bordering Cambodia
and South Vietnam's Central Highlands.
The' Communists were presumably
moving to make greater use of the plateau
as a link in the Ho Chi Minh Trail now
that South Vietnam has cut the network
farther, .north.
Some increase was reported in the
flow of Communist trail traffic in Laos.

in a joint communique with North

make "the greatest national sacrifices" if

WASHINGTON The Senate
unanimously approved Wednesday a
constitutional amendment which would
lower the voting age to 18 in all
elections from City Hall to the Wrhite
House.
If it is approved by the House next
week, as is expected, 38 states must then
ratify the amendment before it can
become part of the constitution. All 50
legislatures are meeting this year,
although some have already compiled
their sessions.
The Senate approved the amendment
94 to 0 after only brief debate and
sidetracked any riders which could have
jeopardized passage.
By a 68-23 vote, the Senate killed a
rider, offered by Sen. Edward M.
Kennedy, D-Mass., which would have
granted full congressional representation
to the District of Columbia in both the
House and Senate.
Senate Democratic leader Mike
Mansfield reluctantly moved to table the
Kennedy proposal, warning it would
touch off a filibuster that could delay
passage of the 18-year-old vote
amendment.
Congress last year passed legislation
giving 1 8-year-olds the right to vote in all
elections but the Supreme Court partially
Indochina, but only if Peking was directly
asked to do so by Vietnamese,
Cambodian or Laotian leftists.
Sihanouk made the
interview with the
statement in an
French leftist
magazine, Africasia. ,
The text of the Peking-Hanoi
statement was broadcast by the official
New China News Agency and was heard
vin Tokyo.
na "Should U.S. imperialism go down the
road of expanding its war of aggression in
Indochina, the Chinese people are
determined to take all necessary
measures, not flinching from even the
greatest national sacrifices, to give all out

and olheiuIn4cnesepeoples-.for the
thorough defeat ,of the U.S. aggressors,"
the communique said.

nullified the action by ruling that
Congress could not legislate voting
qualifications for state and local
elections.
That left the states facing the costly
and confusing prospect of setting up dual
election machinery so voters between 18
and 21 could vote in federal elections but
not state and local contests.
To avoid this, congressional leaders
decided to expedite a constitutional
amendment to permit some 11.5 million
Denies ordering deaths
Medina
FT. BENNING, Ga.-The two central
figures in the massacre at My Lai came
face-to-face Wednesday in a tiny, hushed
military courtroom where Capt. Ernest L.
Medina firmly denied he ordered Lt.
William L. Calley Jr. to "kill or waste
I Vietnamese people."
The testimony struck at the heart of
s Calley's defense that he was merely
? following Medina's orders when he and
his men slaughtered villagers who were
a delaying an American military sweep
through the Vietnamese hamlet of My Lai
, on March 16, 1968.
v Medina, wearing his Silver and Bronze
I Star ribbons on his tunic, took the stand
even before court started Wednesday,
stepping into the witness box and smiling
' and speaking to a court reporter. It was
the grim recital of the campaign at My
v. t ;
( Calley is accused of the murder of 102
villagers at My Lai, and is on trial for his
xlife. Medina, too, is charged with 102
killings during the operation and also
could be put to death if found guilty at a
later court-martial.
Holding a tiny microphone in his
hand, the swarthy captain told in a steady
voice of the events leading up to My Lai,
of a briefing he gave his men on the eve
of the assault, and of the attack itself.
CoL Reid W. Kennedy, the military
judge, was the only one to interrupt with
questions, and specifically wanted to
know about the briefing Medina had
given his men.
"Were any questions asked of you by
the troops?" Kennedy queried.
"Yes, sir," Medina, a 34-year-old
Army veteran, replied.1 r" ; a.
"What?" -
"The lights were off, and we sat there
in the dark," she said. "One young man
said prayers in Hebrew, and another
granslated into Russian."
Then, she said, scores of uniformed
and plainclothes policemen crowded into
thy room.
"They surrounded us, and began
pulling out the benches we were sitting
on," she said. "They started pushing us,
and what could we do, we had to leave."

youths between 18 and 21 to vote in all
contests before the 1972 elections.
Sen. Thomas F. Eagleston, D-Mo., and
Kennedy joined in pleading for the
addition of a constitutional amendment
giving District of Columbia residents a
full voice in Congress. Eagleton said more
youths from the district have been killed
in Vietnam than those from nine of the
states and that district residents paid
$345 million in federal taxes last year.

"I was asked, 'Do we kill women and
children? "
"What was your answer?"
"My reply to that was, No. I told
them, 'You do not kill women and
children. You must use common sense. If
they have a weapon and try to engage
you, you may shoot back, but you must
use common sense."
"At any time on March 15 or March
16, 1968, did you order or direct Lt.
Calley to kill or waste any Vietnamese
people?"
Amti-war show forced;
to use coffee house
FAYETTEVILLE U.S. District Court
Judge Algernon Butler Wednesday denied
a restraining order to a group that wanted
to use Cumberland County Auditorium
for a controversial anti-war show
Saturday and Sunday, featuring Jane
Fonda, Donald Sutherland and other
well-known entertainers.
The ruling will force the group to open
its nationwide tour at a local coffee house
for, servicemen which seats only 400
, persons. Two attempts to gain permission
jto stage the show at Ft. Bragg were
turned back by the post's commander,
Lt. Gen. John J. Tolson, who termed its
contents "a clear danger to the loyalty,
discipline and morale of the troops."
Some 1,770 troops at the base had
signed petitions asking that the show be
permitted at the base. Those , petitions
were turned over to UJS. Rep; Bellar S.
Abzug, D-N.Y., a Vietnam war critic,
Tuesday.

Senate Democratic Leader Mike
Mansfield moved reluctantly to kill the
Kennedy proposal for fear it would delay
a pprova! of the 1 S-year-c!d vo t e.
Mansfield said it was no secret that
many members of both the Senate and
the House would insist that such a
proposal "undergo exhaustive
examination and have at least full benefit
of committee consideration before
allowing it to come to a vote."

"No, sir," Medina replied.
Calley sat motionless, his arms resting
on the table as Medina-a man ;a
psychiatrist said Calley regarded almost as
a father contradicted the main thrust of
Calley's earlier testimony.
Medina was called by the jury to tell
his side of the My Lai incident after the
prosecution and the defense wound up
their cases. The case is expected to go to
the jury the week after next, following
final arguments.
attempt to get the ban overturned.
The U.S. Serviceman's Fund, ; a
soldiers' anti-war group which is
sponsoring the show here, had hoped to
use Cumberland County Auditorium for
the show if it could not be held at Ft.
Bragg. Auditorium officials denied
permission, however, and the group filed
suit, claiming the officials had
discriminated against the entertainers and
violated their First Amendment right of
free speech.
Butler ruled Wednesday that the
auditorium's rules which prohibit rock
shows and similar attractions in the
auditorium portion of the two-building
complex, are "reasonable."
Such shows are normally staged in an
adjoining arena, but that will be used for
circus, 'perf o r ni a h c e s this
weekend. Organizers of the show have
admitted it has an anti-war tone, "with
obviously a strong element about how
absurd the (Southeast Asia) war is," but
deny it is a political anti-war rally.
