Court
upholds
Calley
decision
Gordon said Monday's
court ruling was the end of
court efforts for Calley.
Calley has been free since
his conviction was overturned
on Sept. 25, 1974 by U.S.
District Judge J. Robert
Elliott of Columbia, in a
decision later reversed by the
Circuit Court.
Calley was originally
sentenced to a life term for the
murders. committed at My
Lai, which occurred during
an infantry sweep through
the Vietnamese hamlet in
March 1968.
Subsequent appeals
reduced the term to 10 years

WASHINGTON (AP)
Former Army Lt. William L.
Calley, convicted of mur
dering at least 22 Vietnamese
villagers at My Lai in 1968,
lost his appeal to the Supreme
Court yesterday but 'will
remain a free man.
Giving no reason, the court
declined to review a decision
of the U.S. Circuit Court of
Appeals in New Orleans
reinstating Calley's 1971
court-martial conviction.
Calley, 32, who has been
free on bail in Columbia, Ga.,
was reported en route to
Spokane, Wash., to make a
speech.

, His lawyer, J.J. Houston
Gordon of Covington, Tenn.,
said in a telephone interview
that the Army had assured
him Calley "will be placed
upon parole and will continue
to live the life that he is
presently living. •
Calley will be placed on
parole, the Army said.
He had served all but 10
days of the one-third
minimum of his 10. year
sentence when a federal
judge ordered him released
on bail Nov. 9, 1974. He had
spent those three years under
house arrest at Ft. Benning,

before he was freed on bail
He told the Supreme Court
he was denied a fair trial
because of "worldwide and
all-pervasive" publicity in
which he was "labeled . . . as
a ghoul who had wantonly
massacred hundreds of in
nocent civilians."
He also argued that
Congress should have been
compelled to let his lawyers
examine confidential data
compiled by My Lai in
vestigating committee.
In other action, the
Supreme Court ruled six to
two that police departments
may prohibit their officers
from wearing long hair and
beards. The justices said such
regulations are - justified by
the need to make policemen
identifiable .
The court accepted several
cases for argument next fall.
One of them involves a
record-breaking $36 million
judgment awarded to
Chriscraft Industries under
federal securities laws after a
bitter battle for ,control of
Piper Aircraft Corp. in 1969.
In another, the justices will
consider whether a state may
prevent a neighboring state
from dumping garbage within
its borders.

Shapp denies blackmail charge
HARRISBURG (AP)
Gov. Milton Shapp said
yesterday that Mellon Bank
of Pittsburgh is guilty of an
"unmitigated lie" in charging
that he attempted to black
mail it.
i He called on the bank "to
produce one shred of
evidence" to back up its
charge.
The bank had said that in
January, Shapp offered to
withold legal action against it
in exchange for a $6 million
loan for the state's housing
agency.
Shapp said he talked only
once with a Mellon official
this year, in a phone con
versation, and could provide
corroboration that he made
no such offer.
Two persons were with the
governor during the call to
James Higgins, Mellon board
chairman, Shapp said at a
news conference yesterday.
One of the two was Walter
Arader, a member of the
board of the Pennsylvania
Housing Finance Agency,
which needed the loan to

avoid defaulting.
Contacted at his
Philadelphia office, Arader
said he hadn't listened to all
of what Shapp had said during
the call. "I made no attempt
to listen to what the governor
was saying," Arader said.
He said he listened with
only "half an ear" and felt it
improper to eavesdrop on the
governor's call.
He suggested that a
reporter get corroboration
from the governor's aides.
David Brown, Shapp's
financial assistant, who was
the other person Shapp said
was present, could not be
reached immediately for
comment.
After seeing Arader's
remarks on the Associated
Press wire, Shapp set up a
conference call with himself,
Arader, and the AP.
"I did hear a substantial
part of the conversation 'and
what I heard did not remotely
approach blackmail," Arader
said in the second con
versation.
Shapp then said his counsel,

MINUTES
Larry Beaser, was also
present when the call was
made. Shapp said he had
forgotten about Beaser's
presence when he met with
the press earlier.
Beaser said he heard all of
the conversation, except for
the first minute or so. There
was no offer made, Beaser
said.
A bank source made the
charge in a Pittsburgh
newspaper story Sunday.
Charles Jarrett, Mellon vice
president, affirmed the ac
count in an interview.
But Jarrett has refused
several times to elaborate.
"We have no fuither'
comment at this time because ,
we believe these matters
should be settled by, the
courts," the bank said in a
statement yesterday.
The bank source said in the
Sunday story that Shapp told
a bank official he was willing
to drop planned legal action
stemming from a state in
vestigation into Mellon's
trusteeship of state bond
money and retirement funds.
