South Viet Nam and Cambodia Argue About Reds on Border
By Phil Newsom UPI Foreign News Analyst
Scarcely 100 miles from Saigon, the Cambodian border suddenly jumps southward into South Viet Nam like a pointing finger.
It it a flat, water land of glistening paddies, rubber plantations and jungle, and to the people living there borders are unknown or of little moment.
Since 1945, before the French finally lost their war in Indochina, it has been under the heavy influence of the Communist Viet Cong.
On the South Vietnamese side is a zone called "Maquius D."
On the Cambodian side lies Prey Veng province.
Relations between Cambodia and South Viet Nam are cool at best. Prey Veng province is one of the reasons. South Viet Nam charges it is one of the areas providing rest and training for Viet Cong guerillas behind a neutral border.
THIS WEEK, Cambodian Premier Prince Norodom Sinhanouk angrily charged that South Vietnamese tanks, amphibious vehicles and aircraft attacked a Cambodian village 900 yards inside the border of Prey Veng province.
He threatened to break relations with South Viet Nam, as he already has with neighboring and also pro-western Thailand.
He has accused both of plotting against his neutral state and has demanded a 14-nation conference to guarantee Cambodian neutrality.
Because of jungle cover and the
ill-defended border, the truth of charge and counter-charge is difficult to come by.
Despite Sihanouk's heated denials, an American adviser in South Viet Nam this week informed visiting U.S. Gen. Maxwell D. Taylor that "there is fairly good evidence of support brought in across the (Cambodian) border."
IN SAIGON, military intelligence sources have estimated that as many as 6,000 Communist guerillas are using Cambodian bases as command headquarters for stepped up operations against South Viet Nam. Sihanouk himself is something of a riddle.
Sihanouk himself is something of a riddle.
He has staunch admirers who point to his steadfast stand for neutrality and improvements he has brought to Cambodia.
Others accuse him of maneuvering between two camps to get the most from each.
U. S. aid to Cambodia since 1955 has totaled in the neighborhood of $300 million. Communist China has allocated $40 million for four factories. The Soviet Union has contributed a $12 million hospital. France has given $35 million exclusive of military assistance.
SIHIANOUK'S PUBLIC statements frequently have seemed intemperate but he has let the chips fall where they may.

He has attacked Americans as the "most unjust people in the world" and has said he is prepared to foreign U.S. aid. He has described the war in South Viet Nam as "already lost," although he also has said he wants neither a Communist Laos nor a Communist South Viet Nam.
