U S experts say strikes inside Cambodia raise North Vietnam chances of seizing control in November after the rainy season. They estimate about 35 008 Cambodian forces could struggle but note gains would divert North Vietnam from South Vietnam, aiding Lon Nol's government. Washington military aid and raids are cited to bolster Cambodia with Asian allies urged to assist. The Middle East remains a dangerous arena requiring U S-Soviet agreement on any major moves.
