Hanoi Groups Huge Force For South Viet Invasion
Phnom Penh dispatch says up to ten Communist divisions are in Cambodia or moving along the Ho Chi Minh trail with orders from Hanoi to strike South Vietnam. U.S. aircraft have flown about 2000 sorties in the past week against North Vietnamese positions in Laos and Cambodia to blunt any invasion, though officials note such bombing has been ongoing for months. Cambodian and Western sources report rebuilding of border bases in eastern Cambodia, near South Vietnam, with several divisions named by Communist sources as present. The plan, if true, aims to disrupt Saigon, reverse Vietnamization, and raise antiwar sentiment in the United States.
