Allies make deepest thrust into Cambodia
PHNOM PENH, Cambodia (UPI)—Elements of a South Vietnamese armada docked at Phnom Penh Monday after a 60-mile trip up the Mekong River which lifted a Communist hold on the waterway. It was the deepest penetration the allies have made into Cambodia from neighboring Vietnam.

SAIGON (UPI) — The South Vietnamese government Monday ordered the release of 73 jailed students but continued to hold opposition Assembly man Tran Ngoc Chau despite a Supreme Court ruling that his military trial was illegal.
South Vietnam frees students
Three of the 76 students arrested during weekend demonstrations against the closure of all schools including Saigon University were continued in custody charged with public disorder. The schools were closed last Wednesday after months of student agitation.
The majority of the students were freed after President Nguyen Van Thieu told a news conference, "We cannot put all the students who demonstrate in prison. We have to classify the type of demonstration and the type of demonstrator. We must help those we can depend on the type of trouble the students cause."
rice.
Thieu said that if he has his way Chau will serve the 10-year sentence given him by a military court in a widely publicized trial that found him guilty of Communist activities.
U. S. military sources said COSVN—the Central Office for South Vietnam—has been moved deeper into Cambodia beyond the 21.7 mile limit set by President Nixon for American thrusts across the Vietnamese frontier.
The Supreme Court ruled that Chau's trial by a military court and the sentence were both unconstitutional. Thieu said at his news conference "If they force me to release him, then we better stop fighting the Communists altogether."
ST. LOUIS (UPI) — Sen.
Thomas F. Eagleton said Monday he is convinced that high interest rates have become an "integral part" of inflation and blamed the Nixon administration for "an unwillingness to provide firm and even-handed leadership."
Senator blasts interest rates
Eagleton, in a speech prepared for delivery at an afternoon meeting of the Missouri Bankers Association, said that the question no longer is "will there be a recession or not?" He said the question now is "How long it
will last and how much damage it will do?"
"I am convinced that high interest has become an integral part of the high cost of living—part of inflation itself," he said.
"I think the administration's chief failing, however, has been an unwillingness to provide firm and even-handed leadership. They've been willing to tighten the belt of the home-buyer and the worker whose job is in jeopardy, but unwilling to pressure
big industry to restrain its prices or big labor to restrain its demands."
Eagleton charged that the administration "has tried to make do with optimistic predictions."
"The President himself—apparently in the role of chief bull in our economic china shop—last week declared: 'Frankly if I had any money I'd be buying stocks right now.'"
The senator said, "It is time to cut out the nonsense."
Designers use 'mixed media'
The 1970 spring-summer season is a unique, fascinating and perhaps unparalleled period in fashion.
Clothing designers all over the world are working in "mixed media." Designers recognize the uninhibited nature of women of this generation and are playing up to their non-conformist attitude.
The fashion world is taking everything from the turn of the century to the sixties, and creating a whole new look.
For spring 1970 and the decade ahead, the signs point to more changes in fashion and fewer faddish explosions.
The silhouette reaches to all lengths and loses much of its geometric architecture. There are nostalgic hints of the thirties in the lithe and lean lines. Dresses, coats, suits, sweaters, pants, tunics, shirts and skirts hug and cradle the body. Capes flow out gently or billow out dramatically, but always reveal their femininity.
The groovy sixties kid is becoming the drifty young woman of the seventies. Married, in school or pursuing a career, she's more of a realist. She's somewhere between 18 and 30. She's with it and she knows it.
The excitement of the coming fashions makes something marvelously new and elegant of the timeless soft beauty of a woman's body.
She wears fashions to tell you who she is, what she is and why. She's realistic about the long and short of clothes because she has an investment in her wardrobe.
Look for the midis, anywhere from knee to mid-calf, to come on stronger than maxis or minis.

Look for low decolletages and lots of skin in back for evening
Look for higher waists and lowered waists.
Look for lighter fabrics, more natural fibers, more knits, clingy and stretchy. Look for less tactile surface drama in wools, more simplicity and elegance. Look for richness and sophistication, more luxury in evening fabrics.
Look for emphatic sleeves of all shapes and sizes, leg-o-mutton, tight or puffed.
Look for even more special occasion clothes, from skiing to sunning, from travel to at home, from dinner to theatre, from town to country, from mood to mode.
Look for natural face. Cosmetics will be softer, lighter.
In a word, look for change.
Everyone is expecting it.
This should seriously damage Hanoi's ability to wage war, but one main goal of the campaign destruction of the Communist headquarters known as COSVN — remained unachieved.

Carswell undergoes successful operation
TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (UPI)—Former Federal Judge G. Harold Carswell underwent prostate surgery Monday which was expected to take him off the campaign trail for about a month in his quest for a U.S. Senate seat.
Carswell's condition following the operation was described as "excellent" and Dr. Lawrence Smith, who performed the operation, termed it "a complete success."
Carswell had planned the operation for about two years delaying it when he was named to the 5th Circuit Court of Appeals and again when President Nixon named him to the Supreme Court.

Let's Get It Straight
ARE YOU MATURE?
The goal of psychotherapy seems to be to free the patient from childish behavior patterns and encourage him to be mature. Just what does this mean? Is a teen-ager who throws off all parental restraint and does as he pleases mature? Is the rootin', tootin' cowboy of the T. V. Westerns, who solves everything with his fists or gun, a real he-man? Is the much-divorced movie actress a true woman of the world, or merely a worldly woman?
Jesus Christ set a child in the midst of His disciples and told them that unless they became like him they could not enter the Kingdom of Heaven. Through faith in Him we become God's children, and as we walk with Him day by day we grow in maturity. A person can be childlike and still be mature. Faith in God is childlike but it should outgrow early elements of childishness. A childlike faith is based upon realization of the greatness of God, but childishness tries to bring God down to its own level. We speak of childlikeness when we want to refer to those qualities of childhood that are winning and beautiful,
such as wonder and trust. We speak of childishness when we want to refer to those features in the life of a child that must be tolerated for the time being in the hope that they will be gradually outgrown.
You are not grown up simply because you can smoke, drink, use four-letter words, and talk back to your parents. That person is truly mature who is not the slave of his cravings or his resentments but has achieved self-respect, a sense of personal integrity and dignity. If you belong to God, because Christ has redeemed you, then you will set too high a value upon God's image in you to debase it by sin.
