CAMBODIA
Political maneuvering over formation of a new
cabinet continues. High Political Council member
In Tam, who was delegated on May 11 by his fellow
council members to draw up an acceptable slate of
ministers, has encountered troublesome demands from
Sink Matak.
if difficulties
over cabinet assignments should scuttle In Tam's
candidacy for the prime. ministership, the High Po-
litical Council would dispense with the post. It
would institute instead three deputy prime min-
isters--a device used in previous governments--with
each responsible for directing a group of ministries.
Should this procedure be followed, Matak has indi-
cated that he would attempt to control the most in-
fluential portfolios.

NOTES
Lebanon: President Franjiyah will pursue in
parliament today his case for more stringent con-
trols over fedayeen activities. Chances that the
fedayeen will acquiesce to heavy restrictions on
their freedom are slight. All parties are working
to avoid an all-out confrontation, however, and at
least a temporary, if fragile, accord seems probable.
Beirut airport has been reopened, the curfew relaxed,
and the countryside has been generally calm this
weekend.
Egypt: Cairo appears to be relaxing the high
state of alert of its armed forces. Egyptian naval
reservists, recalled early this month for duty at
naval bases on the Red Sea and the Mediterranean,
will be discharged beginning May 16. Air force
reservists, who were also called up, have been told
to report to their civilian occupations by May 19.
