Charges Weighed TOKYO (AP) -A U.S. Marine going home after 14 years in Vietnam was held by the Navy on Okinawa today for a medical checkup as the Marine Corps began an investigation to determine whether to bring him to trial on charges of collaborating with the enemy. Pfc. Robert R. Garwood, 33, of Greensburg, arrived in Bangkok Thursday aboard, a commercial flight from Ho Chi Minh City, formerly Saigon.

A U.S. military transport flew him to Okinawa, and a Marine Corps spokesman said he would spend "a few days" at a Navy hospital on the southern Japanese island. In New York, a lawyer ho said he was hired by Garwood's family objected to the delay. "I don't believe it's necessary to keep anybody three to five days to give him a physical examination," said attorney Dermot G. Foley.

He claimed the delay was "part of the pressure-cooker atmosphere that they're building to get Garwood as deeply in trouble as they can." The State Department said Garwood was cap tured by the Viet Cong in 1965 and other prisoners of war reported he re malned with the Com munlsts voluntarily.
