Meadlo, one man said to be close to Calley at both slaughter sites, had talked freely about his and Calley's role at My Lai when the case surfaced a year ago. But now Meadlo was claiming Fifth Amendment protection against selfincrimination. The Government has not attempted to prosecute any of the servicemen now out of the Army.
