(AP) Capt. Ernest Medina would like to leave the Army and slip into obscurity if he is acquitted of the My Lai murders.

But he savs the Army is a profession "I still hold in high esteem." "I had a promising career before this happened," the 34-year-old, black-haired Medina said in an interview held in the trict Road near the school; and Regardless, the experience of other communities has been similar, says the report, and when apartments for the elderly the site in the urban renewal area.

Purchase Option But, says the committee report, Farmington's senior citizens also should have the option to purchase more costly housing if they can afford it such as single-family condominiums, but the housing should be tailored to meet the needs of that age group.

Such needs are proximity to shoping, transportation, churches, cultural and medical facilities, and the social and physical needs of the residents. There are many available sites, according to the report, but zoning regulation would have to be amended to allow the office of his top Army counsel, Road; Rt. 6, near Farmington Estates and Mountain Road; in the area of the Irving Robbins Junior High School; and be Capt. Mark Kadish. "I'd be foolish to say there would be anything left for me, even if I were to stay in.

I wouldn't want the Army to hide FARMINGTON Establishing a housing authority here would provide the least expensive housing for citizens 62 years and older, but the town should be flexible enough to provide other types. These are two recommendations of a six-months study of housing needs of older citizens here, which will be turned over to the Town Council at its Tuesday meeting at 8 p.m. at Town Hall. The 10-man committee, headed by Chairman Robert Horan, a member of the Town Council, says the town should start scouting sites for housing for senior citizens, including areas where high-rise buildings can be utilized, such as the redevelopment areas of Unionville Center. The report finds the proposed Tunxis Homes Apartments planned eight-story, 8)-unit, $125 a month rental, a "reasonable" tween Berkshire and Fairview Drives in the East Farms sec tion.

At least 30 need housing in the $40 to $60 range, but the report says, there are probably many more. At least 18 admitted they have incomes of less than $4,000 a year. One of the problems in determining what is needed in the reluctance of elderly persons to divulge personal information concerning their health or financial situation.

They consider such questions "an invasion of privacy," claims the report.

Medina repeatedly was prohibited by his attorney from answering any questions about My Lai or his trial.

Does' he hope for anonymity when his trial ends? He nodded, but added softly, "I don't think it's possible." As for his plans for a civilian life if he's found innocent, Medina said, "I'll cross that bridge when I get there." Despite his shattered dreams of an Army career, the dark-eyed officer spoke in a composed, matter-of-fact tone about the effect of the charges on his wife and children. "I was going to school under an Army program, I'd already completed two years of college training and was going to get a college degree. "I had about 16 years in tha Army, I figured we could eventually retire and still have security. "All that's gone now. Our i ourt 16 Aug.
