PHNOM PENH (UPI)—Alling Premier Lon holndoted to temporary control of the Cambodian government to Deputy Premier Siswath Sirk Matak Thursday night and called on the armed forces to follow the new leader.
Lon Lon, suffering from a paralytic stroke, made the announcement in an official communication.
"While undergoing medical treatment, from today on I confide the position of commander in chief to Gen. Siswath Sirk Makat who already know," the communication said.
The statement, read over national race, was addressed to "dear officers, noncommissioned officers, troopers, pilots, the Knights of the Khmer republic, all dear combatants of the Khmer republic."
"I ask you all who are the combatants of the Khmer republic to continue to serve the nation with the courage you have shown under my command," the communique said.

Lon Mol was reported to be slightly improving from a paralyctic stroke and to have regained his ability to speak and use of his right arm.
Chief of State Cheng Heng reported the improvement. High level Cambodian medical sources, however, said the 58-year-old may never regain his full working powers.
Several reliable diplomatic and Cambodian government sources told UPI that President Kemal Antony, the former physician to Phnom Penh to assist in the war, Nor. The premier's house was under heavy guard but there was no sign of unnatural activity. One of the police had touched off any sort of power struggle.
Diplomats were more optimistic than medical sources on the outlook for Lon Nol.
The Cambodian chief of state, Cheng Heng, told officials Thursday that Lon Mon, who was stricten with the stroke on Monday, had used the use of his right arm and could speak.

SPACE CENTER, Houston (UPI) — The Apollo 14 astronauts, on the last leg of their 1.2 million-mile moon voyage, got a big welcome Thursday from hula-skirted dancing girls in Pago_Page in Samosa and flew home to Houston aboard a silver Air Force jet.

Council Plans Reorganization of 'Watchdogs'
The plan, outlined in a 200-page report by the President's Advisory Council on Executive Reorganization, even drew dissent from one of its six members, Fredrick R. Kapel, former chairman of American Telephone and Telegraph Co.
WASHINGTON (UP1)—President Nixon released without endorsement Thursday a plan to reorganize the powerful regulatory agencies under presidentially appointed administrators and to increase the agencies efficiency.
Kapel said the proposal to put the regulatory powers of most of the quasi-independent agencies under one-man rule was reached without consulting the industries that would be affected. Besides, he said, there would be less control and would lead to more effective administration.
Nixon said "There is room for substantial improvement both in the way in which these organizations are structured and in the way in which they carry out their functions."
Publishing the council's recommendations "to stimulate a vigorous public discussion," Nixon urged comment from industry, the legal community, consumer groups and the agencies themselves by April 20. He plans to submit his own legislation this year.
It is a foregone conclusion that Congress would never agree to dismantle such agencies as the Federal Maritime Commission or the Civil Aeronautics Board (CAB), which it holds in its office House, to carry out its constitutional responsibility for regulating interstate commerce.
To Be Introduced in House
Three agencies, the Interstate Commerce Commission, the CAB and the Federal Maritime Commission, would be consolidated into a single regulatory body for tran- mission. Two others, the Federal Power Commission, the Securities and Exchange Commission, would continue as separate entities but each under a single administrator.
Of the seven agencies reviewed by the council headed by Roy L. Ash, president of Litton Industries Inc., only the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) would retain its multimember structure. However, the council proposed that the FCC be reduced from seven to five members appointed for five-year rather than seven-year terms.
The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) would be broken up into two agencies.
Bill Outlines Regent Qualifications
3y DAN EVANS Campus Editor
A bill will be introduced in the Kansas House of Representatives either today or Monday that would create an 11-man advisory commission to establish recommended qualifications for members of the Board of Regents.
"The basic idea of this bill," Hess said, "is to make the governor and the people of the state aware that the makeup of the Regents needs to have a good hard look taken at it."
According to Paul Hess, R-Wichita and a first year law student, the commission would be appointed by the governor, the speaker of the Senate, the chief justice of the Senate. Hess, who is a co-sponsor of the bill, said the governor would appoint seven judges, and the president pro-tempore would appoint two.
Hess said Thursday night that the other
bill of the bill were Jerry Harper, R-
Wichita; Bob Miller, R-Wellington; and John Peterson, R-Topek. Hess said the four sponsors of the bill were the younger members of the House.
The Committee for a Better Board of Regents, Hess said, had presented a proposal to Harper for the creation of a commission to investigate the Regents and establish qualifications. Hess said the committee's proposal called for a commission made up of academic persons, that is professors and college administrators.
Hess said Harper thought that such a commission should include other than academic persons. The bill that the four young legislators will introduce, Hess said, will provide for the appointment of persons outside of the academic community.
technology progresses.
Under the bill the governor would appoint seven members and five of these seven would have to come from the academia community. The two other commission members appointed by the governor could come from any field, profession or business.
The four members appointed by the speaker and the president pro-tem would not be restricted to any particular area.
"Our critics forget that not a damn cent of this money stays on the moon. It ends up in factories, universities and laboratories. It goes to pay grocery bills and into the pocket of merchants and the hands of people, and benefits people directly." Shepard said.
Hess said that under the bill the members of the commission would have to be appointed by a vote.
Within 60 days of the appointment of the commission, Hess said, the commission would have to submit to the governor a list of officials who had requested the commission. Hess said the commission would act in an advisory capacity and the governor would not know the recommendation of the commission.

Hess said the bill would probably be placed in the committee for education although it could be given to the federal and state affairs committee.

Dorn Talks of Changing Images

Poll said there were no immediate charges filed against either driver.
Doris's poem has changed from "creating images of myself," to "creating other images of other people." He was talking conversationally at a party last night given in his honor in North Lawrence. He vividly described how his change came about.
When Dorn arrived at the party he was immediately surrounded by his many Lawrence friends. "I have more friends in law than probably anywhere else," he said.
Ed Dorn is the perfect image of the hip, American poet. He is tall, modly dressed and has fashionable long, sandy brown hair. He writes poetry, writing, beer, music and all sorts of things.
He is currently working on "Gunslinger, Book III," which is "mostly about acid."
"It's like after thinking your brain is a sponge and then waking up one day to find that it's a big bang. It filled with airplanes that can fly to fly those airplanes." Dorn explained.
Four persons were injured in a two-car mishap near 15th and Iowa Streets. The

There is no facet of their activity that has any importance in, yet any sense. America has never been so divided as it is today.
"I think a lot of people aren't at my reading. Wow, that's a relief," he laughed.
"And Dorn said, 'This is the way I waste my time. That is how I find a way to waste their time, you know?'
"First, I write a little riff, like on this bookcover cover. I collect things like things that happen."

"When I'm sitting on such a bomb of a notebook, sometimes I sit down and actually write the poem—with a Double 00 Repligraph."
Dorn was born in Villa Grove, Illinois in 1929. He has 11 published works, including an anthropological report on "The Sheoahones; The People of the Basin-Plateau."
Dorn elaborated on his conception of "Gunselinger." It's not drama because it's just the expression of my various selves. It's a monolithic poem completely vertical."
"I think Lawrence is the best small town in America ever been in," it says. "It’s a great place to live."
Dorn was post-in residence at K.U. in the 1968-69 school year.
