MOSCOW Public Tax For Psychiatrists To Isn't Excited At Aiding Economic Growth Testify On Galley nr. hnorma nows apormnts abc MEXICO (MO.) LEDGER Page! Monday 4, Jan. 11, 1971 MOSCOW (AP) -Soviet Jews are following the sharp exchanges between Moscow and Washington with keen interest, but the general public in Moscow remains passively unconcerned. The automobiles of three American co-respondents and two diplomats have been vandalized in retaliation for Jewish demonstrations and attacks on Soviet establishments in the United States. But all indications are that the Vandals were hired and their targets selected in advance.

There have been no anti- American mobs on the rampage but most Americans seem a bit tense as a result of the newspaper attacks arid the anti-American vandalism. To keep up on the campaigr, by American Jews, Soviet Jews maintain contact with foreigners and listen to short- wave broadcasts from abroad. Life for most other Muscovites goes on as usual, totally cut off from foreigners and generally insensitive to the freezes and thaws in U.S.-Soviet relations. This unconcern was demonstrated Sunday night when the back and side windows of News- week correspondent Jay Axelbank's car were smashed on Gorky street, one of Moscow's busiest. Passersby took no notice when Axelbank returned a few minutes later.

The Soviet press has ignored the retaliatory attacks in Moscow while keeping up a stream of articles accusing U.S. authorities of "connivance" in the bombing of the Soviet Embassy annex in Washington last week and other harassing actions by militant Jewish groups. The only balancing article has been a report on Washington's apology for the embassy explosion and the statement of W. Averell Harriman, who arrived in Moscow Sunday night, condemning the behavior of Jewish activists in the United States. Harriman also denied Soviet charges that the U.S.

government was standing "idly by." The Soviet government on Friday delivered a "strong protest" against the embassy bombing to U.S. Ambassador Jacob Beam. Thus far the United States has not protested the retaliatory attacks in Moscow. Jewish Group Promises Harassment Of Russians NEW YORK head of the militant Jewish Defense League says his group will step up its anti-Soviet campaign by forming teams. "trail and harass" SoViet ttpftnuife working here.

"We don't want to build cultural the Jaodies of three Meir Kahane when ashed if his organization's activities might not aggravate Soviet-American relations. Speaking outside the Soviet mission to the United Nations on East 67th Street, Kahane said Sunday that "the life of each Russian will be made miserable" under the harassment campaign. The leagufe has spearheaded a number of anti-Soviet demonstrations in recent weeks to pro. test the condition of Jews living in the Soviet Union and the trial and conviction of 12 persons, most of them Jews, for an tempted hijacking. In response the Soviet Union has officially protested the paign.

In Moscow over the weekend the cars of three American correspondents were vandalized in apparent retaliation. Kahane, who founded the JDL in 1968, said he called for harassment of Soviet diplomats after hearing reports of the Moscow incidents. A few league members followed cars emerging from the mission here Sunday. Police escorted the cars and blocked off the street. Arkadi V.

Gouk, first secretary at the missions, said Sunday night: "Some of our people were followed by some unknown people with provocative purposes. Who they are, we don't know." He said the diplomats and staff personnel had been followed to their homes and had been called names. In Moscow, Pravda published a long article Sunday saying that "Zionist storm troopers" were conducting a "campaign of terror and provocation" against Soviet citizens in the United States. But it said the majority of Americans condemned such acts. The newspaper also described in detail the bombing of the Soviet cultural office in Washington last Friday.

An anonymous woman called news agencies after that blast and said: "This is a sample of things to come. Let our people go. Never again!" The Pravda story said the woman was a JDL member and quoted only the first sentence of her The second 'Let our people go," refers to the Soviet Union's refusal to allow its Jews to emigrate to Israel. "Never again!" is the JDL motto and refers to the killing of six million Jews by the Nazis during World War II. The league denied responsibility for Friday's bombing but refused to condemn the act.

It took the same position after the Nov. 25 bombing of the Aeroflot and Intourist offices in Manhattan. Most major Jewish organizations have denounced the tactics of the league. Eagleton In State Swing WASHINGTON Sen. Thomas Eagleton, has announced he will make a four- day swing through northern Missouri beginning Tuesday.

Included will be stops in St. Louis Tuesday; Shelbina, Macon, Brookfield, Milan and Kirksville, Wednesday; Memphis, LaBelle and Hannibal on Thursday and St. Joseph, Friday. SAN CLEMENTE, Calif. (AP) President Nixon may take a personal hand in an expected announcement today that tax burdens on business will be move aimed at speeding economic expansion.

The only news briefing of the day at the Western White House was scheduled for 3:30 p.m. EST, an unusually late hour coinciding with the closing bell of stock exchanges in New York. Treasury officials in Washington spent much of Sunday completing drafts of new regulations to grant businesses faster tax writeoffs on amounts they spend on new plant and equipment. The upshot would be tax savings in the billions. The plan is to permit businesses to deduct more for depreciation of equipment in the earlier years of its use.

Under present depreciation regulations, companies deduct from taxes the cost of equipment on a yearly installment basis taking into consideration the useful life of the machinery. The presidential panel which devised the new rules said they would reduce government receipts by $1.4 billion in the first year, $3.7 billion in the second and more thereafter. The idea is to encourage modernization of equipment and expansion of production. In recent months, industries have spent frugally on new plants and machinery. Nixon, who has embraced deficit spending as a means of pumping new life into the sagging economy, has virtually completed work here on the new federal budget for the 1972 fiscal year that begins July 1.

In what he terms an expansionist budget, Nixon is expected to call for federal outlays of at least $225 billion during the bookkeeping year. The President worked Sunday morning on his State of the Union message at his seaside villa, La Casa Pacifica. In the afternoon he continued his labors at his more elaborate office at the neighboring Western White House. Since flying here last Tuesday with wife Pat and daughter Tricia, Nixon has taken few breaks from work that Press Secretary Ronald L. Ziegler reported has averaged 8 to 10 hours daily.

Comparable schedules in Washington, he said, often stretch to 16 to 18 hours. Nixon is expected to return to Washington Thursday, He probably will make an appearance there before members of the RepublicanNationalCommittee after they formally name a successor to National Chairman Rogers C. B. Morton, who is being nominated to replace the fired Walter J. Hickel as secretary of the interior.

The national chairmanship is expected to go to Sen. Robert Dole of Kansas, a Nixon stalwart. The White House won't comment on that matter, however. Neither will anyone here confirm or deny rumors that 24- year-old Tricia Nixon is engaged to Edward F. Cox, a Harvard law student.

Hot Meals For Aging Persons In Butler Co. JEFFERSON CITY (AP) Funds have been granted to continue a project to serve low- cost meals to- aging people of Poplar Bluff and'Butler County. Gene Sally, director of the Department of Community Affairs, said today a federal grant from the Department of Health, Education and Welfare has been approved. The $24,827 of which HEW pays $4,521 ana local contributions total $5,247 is in its second year of operation at Poplar Bluff.

Remaining funds come from cost of meals. The grant for the first year's operation was for $21,423 of the total project cost of $68,068, Sally said. The program is intended to provide one hot, balanced meal daily to all aging persons in Butler County. The meals are served for 70 cents and an average of 87 meals daily were served during the first 10 months of operation. Breaking a three-day silence, the Tupamaros announced sun- day night that the British ambassador, kidnaped on Friday, and U.S.

agronomist Claude L. Fly and a kidnaped Brazilian diplomat were "in perfect state of health." In a communique to several Montevideo newspapers, the leftist rebels called on the government "to reconsider its refusal to negotiate" the release of Fly and Brazilian Consul AloysioDiasGomide, their captives for five months, and British Ambassador Geoffrey Jackson, who was kidnaped on Friday. The message came as the Legislative Commission, which acts for Congress when it is not in session, was considering a request by President Jorge Pacheco Areco for a 90-day suspension of civil liberties to help in the search for the captives. The Tupamaro communique said the rebels were withdrawing their offer to release Fly, 65, of Fort Collins, if Montevideo's newspapers published an antigovernment proclamation. No new ransom demand was made.

The government refused to authorize the publication, although one newspaper published the manifesto last week. Another Tupamaro offer, to release the Brazilian consul for $1 million ransom, expires today. Dias Gomide's wife has been trying to raise the money but apparently has not succeeded. A local newspaper said a telephonecalleridentifyinghim- self as a Tupamaro said the consul would be turned over to Brazilian guerrillas if the money was not paid. The rebel communique set no demands for the release of the 55-year-old British ambassador beyond asking the government to negotiate.

NEW YORK (AP) "M-A-SH," the Korean war satire, has been voted best movie of 1970 in the fifth annual poll of The National Society of Film Critics. It is the first American- made picture to win the distinction. Sweden's Ingmar Bergman was chosen the year's best director for his work on "The Passion of Anna," runner-up in the best movie balloting. Bergman won the same honor for "Persona" in 1967and "Shame" in 1968. The society, whose members are film critics representing 14 magazines and two newspapers, announced the awards Sunday.

George Scott was selected the year's outstanding actor for his portrayal of the title role in "Patton." Glenda Jackson was named best actress for her characterization of the liberated sister in the dramatization of D. H. Lawrence's novel "Women in Love." In previous years, the society honored the French-made the Swedish "Shame" and "Per- sonna," and "Blow-Up," produced in England by an Italian.

By Okinawans NAHA, Okinawa (AP) About 200 Okinawans protesting the movement of deadly mustard gas across their island were: driven back early today from two U.S. bases. The demonstrators attacked some hours after American authorities announced a two-day delay in the start of transfer of the gas from storage on Okinawa to Johnston island, in the mid-Pacific. More than 100 demonstrators armed with rocks and bamboo poles tried to force their way into a compound in Chibana where some of the gas is stored. Seventy U.S.

Marines blocked another 100 protestors trying to break through the main gate at Camp Hague, on the route over which a convoy was to transport an initial shipment of mustard gas. Witnesses said the American servicemen in both places used bodily force, including punches, but no weapons, to turn back the demonstrators. One American was reported injured at Chibana. Movement of the gas was to have begun today but was delayed because of threats by leftists and some villagers to block the shipment. FT.

BENNING, Ga. (AP) Lt. William L. Calley lawyers said today they planned to call psychiatrists to his murder trial to testify about "the stresses and strains of combat, the confusion that exists." It was the first intimation that psychiatric testimony will be offered in the trial of the 27-year- old lieutenant who is charged with the murder of 102 Vietnamese villagers on March 16, 1968. "There is always mental abnormality about what people can do and people can understand in combat," George Latimer, chief defense counsel, said as Galley's trial resumed after a 24-day recess.

"Anything that would indicate a lack of premeditation and lack of general intent to kill is relevant," Latimer said. The jury was not present as lawyers for both sides and Judge Reid W. Kennedy took care of some housekeeping chores that piled up during the recess. The first witness testifying for the prosecution under subpoena was to be Ronald Grzesik, Hoi- yoke, Mass. An ex-GI who demanded and got immunity for testimony had been summoned as lead-off witness, but his plane was delayed.

The defense asked that subpoenas be issued for Gerald M. Heming.who had testified for the prosecution Nov. 19 and for Charles Gruver, Tulsa, who had told interviewers earlier that he saw one of the My Lai soldiers kill a small boy. Grzesik also had told the interviewer that he saw the incident. Chief prosecuting lawyer, Capt.

Auburey Daniel III, introduced a magazine article coauthored by Calley and a newspaper interview made with Calley last week as exhibits saying the articles were: 1 'An attempt on the part of the accused at influencing the public in his favor outside the court." Paul Meadlo, who has figured in much of the trial testimony, was summoned to testify for the prosecution but his lawyer said he might still refuse to testify. Meadlo. had been expected to court today, but his plane was delayed on a flight from Terre Haute, Ind. Using a law fresh on the statute books, an assistant attorney general issued a grant of general immunity to Meadlo, who risked arrest earlier by refusing to testify. The immunity was granted during a 24-day recess.

The 27-year-old spent part of his leave interviewing prospective witnesses accused of the slaying of 102 Vietnamese civilians. The six officers trying the case were not locked up over the holidays but were barred from reading or hearing news accounts about My Lai. In other Army legal action arising from My Lai, the trial of Sgt. Charles Hutto on charges of assault with intent to murder resumes today at Ft. McPherson, and the last of a series of closed hearings on whether Capt.

Ernest Medina should be court-martialed was completed there Sunday. The governmentwas expected to produce two witnesses it couldn't find during the prosecution phase of Galley's trial. Col. Reid W. Kennedy, the military judge, told the prosecution it could interrupt the defense presentation if the witnesses were in court Monday.

Fifty-six witnesses had testified before the Dec. 17 recess, 21 for the defense. The missing men were not identified but were believed to be Ronald Grzesik of Holyoke, and Harry Stanley of Gulfport, Miss. Both men were able to speak some Vietnamese and acted as interpreters. They were in Calley's platoon the day his company swept through My Lai.

As late as Sunday night Mead- lo's A. Kesler of Terre Haute, ed about whether he would permit his client to testify. "We haven't absolutely made up our minds, but in all likelihood he will eventually testify," Kesler said. The immunity was granted under the Organized Crime Control Act of 1970 which went into effect last Dec. 15.

"It is a warped and perverted use of the act," Kesler said. He said the general immunity provision was never intended to be used in a case of this kind. The immunity, he said, was read to Meadlo in Kesler's Terre Haute office last week by William Sloth, the United States attorney at Macon, Ga. "They told him to his face that if he did not testify they would prosecute him," Kesler said. Meadlo, who now works as a machine operator in a Terre Haute plastics factory, said on network television a year ago that he stood at Calley's side and at Calley's order sprayed bullets into a group of squatting Vietnamese men, women and children.

He estimate he might have killed 10 or 15. In the first 18 days of testimony, witness after witness told of going into My Lai expecting to engage the feared 48th Viet Cong Battalion but finding only civilians. A number of witnesses said the company had been given orders by Capt. Medina, the commander, to kill every living thing and that the shooting stopped only after Medina radioed "ihe party's over, that's enough shooting for today." Grenade Blast injures 29 GIs In Dance Fight SAIGON (AP) The U.S. Army is investigating a disturbance outside an enlisted man's club Saturday night during which a fragmentation grenade injured 29 U.S.

soldiers. Six of the GIs were hospitalized, one in a serious condition. Military sources said it had not been determined whether the grenade was thrown or was dropped and exploded by accident. The disturbance occurred at Tuy Hoa, a U.S. base on the central coast 240 miles northeast of Saigon.

Military police were called to the club after trouble developed between members of the 1st Battalion, 22nd Infantry, and Company, 75th Ranger Battalion. The sources said the cause of the disturbance was not known, but possibly there were racial implications. On Thursday night, a U.S. Army major was killed and another was wounded in a post- midnight argument with five enlisted men at the Quang Tri combat base 16 miles south of the demilitarized zone. The officers were trying to get the enlisted men to lower the volume of their phonograph.

The Army said three of the enlisted men were held for questioning, and the investigation was still under way. The Mexico Ledger Published daily except Sundays and holidays at 300 N. Washington Mexico, Mo. Second class postage paid at Mexico, 65265. Single copy lOc.
