SAN CLEMENTE California Sunday AAP Revie General Haig and Dr Ki s former depot head for Cambaui Lang and South Viet Nam as well as Thailand on Saturday night. His mission began as 525 continued heavy raids against communist forces threatening an assault on Phnom Penh. There was mounting concern over reports of troops and weapons moving from Hanoi into South Viet Nam. North Vietnam denied violating the ceasefire. American aircraft reportedly carried weapons to Phnom Penh to aid Lon Nol's government against communist troops. President Nixon refused to rule out or confirm the dispatch of troops, saying no plans to reintroduce ground troops existed. He sent Haig to study developments and report back for future decisions. Diplomatic observers noted Nixon likely would back Cambodia with weapons and air power while threatening sterner measures. The first ships broke through the Mekong blockade, including two carges with ammunition, as Cambodian forces warned civilians to conserve supplies amid ruined supply lines. Cambodian troops abandoned Angkorp district south of Phnom Penh.
