Cambodian Officials Seek Changes to Strengthen Lon Nol Rule
Cambodian officials urging reforms to give President Lon Nol tighter army control warned surrender loomed if no changes occurred. They criticized army mismanagement as rebels closed in on Phnom Penh while Lon Nol remained at the palace amid rumors. Western diplomats doubted negotiations unless Lon Nol steps down, and focus stayed on keeping Pochentong airport open as fighting slowed near Prek Phneou. Government claimed 143 rebels killed near Prek Phneou and Prek Phaeon, where Cambodians once allied with U.S. Green Berets defend the 7th division.
