FOR THE PRESIDENT ONLY
CAMBODIA
Communist forces may follow up yesterday's
shelling of Pochentong Airfield with other attacks
on the capital. According to an intercept of April
23, Communist units south of Phnom Penh intend to
shell the capital with 105-mm. howitzers and "cross
the river to the Phnom Penh suburbs to attack and
destroy some areas." The message did not give a
date for the attacks, but stated that the weapons
were not yet in place. Khmer Communists yesterday
gained control over a section of the east bank of
the Mekong River opposite the capital after over-
running a small government outpost. Unless the in-
surgents are dislodged from this area, they will be
able to shell downtown Phnom Penh with medium-range
weapons.
