Hoffman AP Military Writer WASHINGTON Shaken by the Green Beret' case, the Army is again on trial before U.S. and world public opinion because of charges that some of its soldiers committed mass murder of civilians in Vietnam. The Army has weathered some rough times on and off the battlefield in its 194-year history, but rarely has the country's confidence in its conduct and integrity been so buffeted as in recent months.

Military and civilian officials fear the alleged slaughter of somewhere between 100 and 567 Vietnamese civilian men, women and children in the long-time Viet Cong hair, let of Song My, in March 1968, may intensify "get the troops home now" pressure and anti-military sentiment in this country. "In the present climate, people are liabie to become convinced that all American soldiers go around killing innocent civ.lians," said one worried general in Vietnam. Another senior officer, who commanded combat triops in Vietnam, said. "The Army as an institution doesn't put up with this kind of wanton killing," adding: "If it did. we'd have had dozens of instances of this happening al! over Vietnam over the past four years.

It hasn't happened." To the obvious surprise of the Pentagon, the South Vietnamese Defense Ministry in a statement Friday said reports of a wholesale killing of Vietnamese civilians were completely inaccurate. It said cnly about 20 civilians vere killed in the action in question and they were victims of tactical air strikes and supporting artillery fire during the fighting. U.S. officials declined to comment on the Saigon report; The Viet Cong delegation at the Paris peace talks has lost no time seizing on the reported massacre as a propa- ganda wedge to put the United States at a negotiating disadvantage. The VC claim the Americans are guilty of thousands of atrocities.

The Army has charged 1st Lt. William Calley 26, of Waynesville, N.C., with "the premeditated murder of approximately 100 Vietnamese civilians." The Army also charged S. Sgt. David Mitchell, 29, of St. Francisville, with assault with intent to commit murder.

Mitchell was a member of Calley 's platoon in Vietnam. So far, the Army has done little to allay growing public alarm and revulsion over the reported blood rampage at Song My. Hardly conducive to public confidence is the Army's acknowledgment that 11th Brigade officers, in April 19G3, investigated allegations involving that operation but as the Army put it, "developed nothing to indicate any disciplinary action or to warrant further investigation." Turn to Page 22, Col. 1 WASHINGTON (AP) Defense Secretary Melvin Laird slashed the January draft call to 12,500 men about one-third of the original quota and pledged immediate action to install the new random lottery system. In announcing this yesterday, Laird also said the Army plans to cut back its basic training structure by shutting down three basic training centers and disbanding 100 train- Apollo ing companies.

"Because we didn't have enough time," Apollo 12 Commander Charles (Pete) Conrad Jr.

told Mission Control, "we just weren't able to take all the pictures we wanted or do all the things." For the second time during a lazy day in space, Conrad and crewmates Richard Gordon and Alan Bean answered questions about moon geology and their two moonwalks. "The only thing that kept us from getting more detail was we had to keep pressing on," Conrad said. Almost Everything Michigan and USC will meet in the Rose Bowl after victories yesterday in an afternoon of dramatic football that also saw favored Stanford scramble to defeat California in the Big Game, 29-28. Michigan shocked Ohio State, 24-12, before 103,588 to snap the Buckeyes' 22-game win streak. The Trojans pulled out a 14-12 victory over archrival UCLA when QB Jimmy Jones fired a TD pass to Sam Dickerson with only 1 minute, 35 seconds to play.

Stanford rolled up a quick 17-0 lead over Cal. But a spectacular performance by Bears' quarterback Dave Penhall had the Injuns hanging on desperately at the finish.

Story on Page A-13 Tug-of-War On Taxes Starts Now By Patrick J. Sloyao Washington Bureau WASHINGTON The Senate starts consideration of a sweeping tax reform package tomorrow with a brawl expected over the handling of, $3.8 billion in revenues that President Nixon wants to combat inflation. The initial struggle will pit Senate Democratic Leader Mike Mansfield against Sen.

Russell B. Long of the Finance Committee. As it stands now, the tax reform package would also extend the surtax at a 5 percent rate for the first half of 1970, extend excise taxes on phone bills and new cars and repeal a big tax break for business the 7 percent investment tax credit. Long, floor manager of the tax package, wants the Senate to first act on the surtax and investment tax credit repeal before working on the tax reform provisions. Mansfield, backed by most Senate Democrats, has differ-ent plans.

He wants to keep the surtax part of the tax reform package a hostage to insure a meaningful reform bill will get through Congress. Long will also be struggling to head-off efforts to further reduce the 27.5 percent oil depletion allowance. The Finance Committee cut it back to 23 percent but a number of senators want even tougher curbs on the oil industry. Tax rate cuts for individuals and corporations along with reform of tax payments by the poor and single persons, and an increase in the standard deduction would provide $9.2 billion a year in tax relief by 1979 under the Sen "I think we got a sample of 1 nerable for induction.

He said he will take immediate action to implement the new legislation so that the men to be drafted in January, 1970, will be brought into service under the new random-selection procedure." The Pentagon has announced plans to reduce over-all armed force strength by 220,000 men by next June 30. 74,000 Men Of this number, the Army will lose 74,000 men.
