Thai border fight diminishes
ARANYAPRATHET, Thailand—Fighting diminished yesterday along the Thai-Cambodian border, but Thai military officials said Vietnamese troops were maneuvering for a possible all-out attack against guerrillas loyal to ousted Cambodian Premier Pol Pot.
The Chinese, who fought a border war with Vietnam in 1979, warned Hanoi to get its troops out of Cambodia but stopped short of threatening direct military action. Diplomatic sources in China said tension along the border were higher, but reports the Chinese were on full military alert could not be
The Thais have asked the United States for increased military assistance and stepped-up delivery of equipment already promised. State Department officials said Wednesday that the U.S. had a warhead.
The Thai military command reported large Vietnamese troop movements in western Cambodia near the border and land. Vietnamese units had already attacked the army's positions.
No new significant Thai-Vietnamese clashes were reported, however.
Most of the Vietnamese troops were believed to be just across the Cambodian border, but they also held small areas north of Aranypathet which the Thai military considers to be inside Thailand. The fighting had been in the areas Monday and Tuesday, the first two days of the Vietnamese offensive.
Soviets set to strike again
KABUL, Afghanistan—The division of Soviet troops reportedly withdrawn from Afghanistan has been stationed on the Soviet border ready for another mission to the region.
One source said the Soviets thought tanks were useless in fighting widely scattered groups of Moslem guerrillas and that was why more than 100 tanks were pulled out. Helicopter gunships with their devastating firepower have been used in suppressing rebel resistance and are being sent in, the source said.
The sources said the Soviets were believed to have pulled out 12,000 to 15,000 troops, but only as far as the Soviet border with Afghanistan. Unconfirmed reports said another 5,000 to 10,000 fresh Soviet troops have been deplored inside the country as replacements.
"If pulling them out means the Afghan army will do the fighting, it won't work," one source said.
work, so source said.
"Wherever they left there will be a resurgence of rebel activity. The rebels
"And the Afghan government didn't say a word about pulling out any helicopters."
A Bulgarian journalist who was invited by the Afghan government to film the withdrawal said he saw about 10,000 troops and more than 100 tanks rumbling out of Khair Khana in northern Kabul, on the highway to the Soviet Union through the Salang Pass.
Carter trails Reagan in poll
NEW YORK—President Carter's popularity has dropped to the level it was before the hostages were seized in Iran and the president now traits Ronald Reagan by 10 percentage points, according to a New York Times-CBS News poll.
The poll published in yesterday's editions of the Times said 30 percent of the public say they approve of the way Carter has handled the presidency—the same percentage giving him a favorable rating in the poll before the Americans were seized in Tehran Nov. 4.
His favorable rating two months ago was 40 percent—down from 53 percent in February, the Times said.
And, the poll said, only 20 percent of the public now approves of Carter's handling of foreign policy—the smallest number of his presidency. The favorable rating for his handling of the hostage crisis declined to 29 percent and 18 percent approved of Carter's handling of the economy.
Grain embargo to continue
but he persists to specify where Wheeler will be coached.
"It depends on their behavior in Afghanistan," he said.
WASHINGTON—Agriculture Secretary Bob Bergland said yesterday the American grain embargo against the Soviet Union will continue indefinitely, but he refused to specify what the Soviets will have to do with it lifted.
Bergland's statement to the House Agriculture Committee followed indications from President Carter on his European tour that he will consider negotiating with the Soviets to establish a transitional government in Afghanistan.
Carter imposed the embargo Jan. 4 in retaliation for the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan.
"I can't answer that because I simply don't know," Bergland told the panel. "I haven't spoken to the president yet."
The secretary repeatedly dodged questions from committee members on whether a withdrawal of Soviet troops would be a prerequisite for lifting the embargo, indicating the embargo could be used as a bargaining chip in future negotiations with the Russians.
Carter returns from his eight-day trip today. Bergsland said the embargo is working because the seven million ton shortfall of grain has reduced Soviet exports to Europe.
"The Russians have felt the sting," he said. "They're scrounging all over the Soviet Union for enough meat to send to Moscow for the Olympic Games."
He said, "I recommend we keep the heat."
Reagan says tax cut urgent
LOS ANGELES—Calling the nation's economic situation "desperate," Ronald Reagan yesterday urged Congress to enact immediately a $20 billion spending bill.
Throughout his presidential campaign, Reagan has said that if elected he would propose major cuts in federal taxes.
At a news conference, the Republican candidate said the nation was reading into "what could well become the worst recession in half a century". He said he expected the number of people who
"Now, the situation is desperate," he said. "Now, I am saying to Congress, don't wait, do it now."
Reagan said that as a result of President Carter's economic policies "production lines are being idled. Factory gates are closing across the land. Housing construction has gone into a tailspin. In just 100 days, the ad-venture have thrown 1.8 million American working men and women out of jobs."
The Reagan plan was the first segment of the three-year cut in income tax rates that has been a keystone of his economic program. That plan would cut taxes for many Americans, and it has helped the economy.
KU to get unclaimed money
TOPEKA-State Treasurer Joanne Fainny announced yesterday her office is returning $4, 423 to 24 persons and institutions in Kansas under the state's rules on cash donations.
Largest of the amounts, Mrs. Finney said, is $1,502 to the University of Kansas. She said that amount had been held by the state of California.
Under the law, the treasurer's office searches the nation to locate unlicensed or Kansas citizens or institutions in various public and private accounts.
She said her office presently has more than $2.5 million held in trust to return to its rightful owners in Kansas.
She said she is continuing to review more than 250 claims people have presented to her office, seeking amounts ranging from $2 to $8,000.
