U S Drastically Trims Air Missions
U S Air Force planes flew over 120 bombing sorties against Cambodia after American troops withdrew from South Vietnam last week. The move signals a sharp cutback from May and June air offensives, with continued interdiction against enemy supplies but no direct air support for Cambodian troops except as a side effect of bombings. White House aides say the total includes nearly 100 fighter-bomber sorties and over 2 sorties by B 52s in the first week, contrasting with 5 400 May attacks and 800 photo sorties, while June activity faded as the operation ended. Authorities foresee possible intensified strikes toward northern Laos in response to a new supply complex there.
