Calley Is Freed Of One. Charge FT. BENNING, Ga. (AP) A separate murder charge has been dropped against Lt. William L.

Calley who faces court-martial in the slaying of 102 Vietnamese civilians at My Lai. Calley had been charged in the death of one Vietnamese male in Quang Ngai Province about six weeks before the My Lai incident in March 1968. The Ft. Benning commander, Maj. Gen.

Orwin Talbott, decided Friday not fo refer this charge to trial after receiving the results of an investigation. Spokesmen at Ft. Benning did not say what art investigator, Lt. Col. Mack Hopper, recommended to the general.

The hearings on pretrial defense motions in the My Lai charges continue Monday at Ft. Benning. geolceaTTdent jor foreign tour, it follows a trip last May to Vietnam and southern Asia and, a few months later, to the Pacific island chain from Japan to New Zealand. Generally, the secretary plans to do more listening than talking during the journey, but there were reports he would offer some kind of outline of Nixon administration policies toward Africa in a Feb. 12 speech in Addis Ababa, the Ethiopian cap ital.

The trip schedule also in eludes two days Nigeria where the scars of civil war are fresh. Rogers will confer with Gtn. Yakubu Gowon during the Feb. 19-20 visit. He is expected to give the general personal assurances the United States intends to handle its war relief programs to the former Biafran region in accordance with Go-won's policies.

Prior to the Nigerian segment of the trip Rogers plans to spend two days in the Congo capital of Kinshasa conferring with all U.S. ambassadors stationed in Africa. He also will consult in Kinshasa with President Joseph Mobutu about the development of stability and recovery of the economy in a land that was only recently torn by long and bitter civil war. Rogers flight plan takes him directly from Washington to Rabat, Morocco, on the northwest African coast. Other countries on his tour are Tunisia, Kenya, Zambia, Cam eroon, Ghana and Liberia.

Rogers is going to Africa pre pared to sketch at least the broad outlines of U.S. policy of support for the independence and economic welfare of the African nations. But he is known to hope that lrom his conversations with gov ernment heads and other offi cials in each capital he will get practical suggestions about how the principles of U.S. policy may be applied. The United States has no major military interests in Africa below the Sahara.

There is a communications center at As mara in Ethiopia but Rogers does not plan to visit that post. It does have Peace Corps programs and economic assistance operations in many of the countries. Aid is carried out either directly or through some international organization. In the year ending last June 30 U.S." aid to Africa, including Peace activities, outright grants and food shipments, amounted to $390.5 million. Congressional cuts in the administration's aid proposals for the current fiscal year are expected to force a reduction in the African total.

And Johnson also said he was disappointed that his March 31 1968, speech in which he announced the bombing halt over a large portion of North Vietnam and his decision not to seek reelection did not bring peace. "My hopes have faded away, and my dreams have not been realized," he said. Johnson made his comments in the second of a series of televised interviews with Walter Cronkite. It was filmed by CBS several months ago at the LBJ Ranch in Texas.

Johnson said Rjusk made the first suggestion that they stop the bombing when they were going over recommendations from fop advisors in early March. "Secretary Rusk came back and said while we were evaluating these things, he said, 'Now I think the time's come where we can stop the bomb Johnson said. i "Some of them suggested I think Secretary Clifford sug gested and we and some of the others joined him that we stop the bombing on the condition that the North Vietnamese do something. "And Secretary Rusk said, 'That won't work, this reciprocity won't work. We ought to just stop the Johnson said he then ordered his advisors to work up a plan.
