Foreign News Comment

By RAY F. HERNDON PHNOM PENH, Cambodia UPI—Cambodia’s Prince Norodom Sihanouk, who slammed the door in America’s face in 1965, appears to have reopened it just a crack. During Australian Premier Harold Holt’s recent visit here, Prince Sihanouk made it unmistakably clear that he still opposes U.S. policies in neighboring Vietnam. But mqre significantly, Prince Sihanouk gave equally unmistakable indications that he is not wholly taken up with the Communist North Vietnamese and Chinese he has actively wooed for the past two years. Although he does not welcome the presence of Australian troops fighting alongside those of the United States in Vietnam, the prince was unreservedly warm in welcoming one of America’s staunchest Vietnam

allies.

This alone was enough to strain his relations with the North Vietnamese and Communist Chinese. But the prince convinced Holt that he has gone even further to prove Cambodia’s “sincere attachment to peace, and our resolute determination to preserve our neutral status .. In a recent speech, Prince Sihanouk defined his neutral status in these terms: “Neutrality means we are not militarily or ideologically allied with anyone. We are not allied with China or the U.S.S.R., with the D.R.V. (Democratic Republic of Vietnam—North) or the Viet Cong. We reject the establishment of foreign bases or garrisons in our country. We do not participate in the war of

others.”

Concerned and angry over U.S. charges that the Viet Cong

into South Vietnam, and as a sanctuary when things get too hot across the border, Sihanouk gave Holt — and Indirectly America — convincing assurances that his government has taken steps to halt any such violations. Although he insisted that Viet Cong intrusions were temporary, Sihanouk’s private admission that America wasn’t the only party violating his frontiers, and — more especially — his assurance Cambodia was taking steps to halt the violations, revealed a basic change in the thinking which prompted the prince to break diplomatic

relations with the U.S. in May, 1965, and butter up the Communists. Ever since the break in diplomatic relations between the United States and Cambodia in 1965, Australia has represented U.S. interests in the Cambodian capital. Prior to Holt’s visit. Washington aked Canberra to sound out the prince on the question of restoring the broken ties. Authoritative Australian sources said “the time was not thought opportune” for Holt to raise the matter with Sihanouk, but things are headed “in the right direction.”

WASHINGTON UPI — The j 30, 1968. Agriculture Department is still

undecided on whether to take action to increase production of feed grains this year. The latest department report on the feed situation shows that the government is still expecting a reduction in carryover stocks on Oct. 1 to about 25 million tons. That figure is down from the Oct. 1, 1966, carryover of 42.1 million tons, but is the same figure government farm officials have been predicting. The government had hoped for a slightly higher carryover by Oct. 1, 1968. But farmers have Indicated they don’t Intend to plant as much acreage in com and sorgum this year as the Agriculture Department wanted and federal experts now

tentatively estimate that 1967

are using Cambodian territory | production may just about equal both to infiltrate men and arms J needs for the 1967-68 marketing

U.S. Tourists Issued Warning WASHINGTON UPI — The Russians are hunting for some way to obtain the release of a Soviet citizen serving a 20year U. S. prison sentence for espionage-and American tourists had better beware. That weis at least part of the reason behind the State Department’s issuance Tuesday of new and more pointed warnings to American tourists to watch their steps while in Russia lest they run afoul of Soviet regulations. The Russian in question is Igor A. IvEtnov, 37, a chauffeur for the Soviet trading agency Amtork. He weis convicted in December, 1964, with U. S. electronics engineer John W. Butenko, 42, of Orange, N. J., of conspiring to hand over Strategic Air Command electronic secrets to Moscow. Butenko was sentenced to 30 years in prison. Administration sources said today that several American tourists arrested in Russia since Ivanov weis sentenced had been advised to tell U.S. embassy officials visiting them that they could be quickly released in exchEinge for Soviet citizen held in the United States. The object of the Russians’ interest is plainly Iveuiov, officials said. This hEis led to the assumption that the onetime chauffeur was a more important member of the Russian spy apparatus thEin American officials realized at the time he was unmasked.

tended the church service on Thursday evening at the Clinton Falls church. The meeting >ia« ben going on all week with good attendEmce. Minister is Rev. Hughey from Terre Haute. Mr. and Mrs. Paul Nichols have moved to their newly rented farm near Thomtown. Mike Bering from Bloonefield Hills, Mich., was house guest of Mrs. Aileen Overstreet and Mr .and Mrs. Morris Irwin last week. Mrs. Ray Clodfelter called on Mrs. Manford Clodfelter on Thursday afternoon. Mrs. Gerald Clodfelter and Mrs. Ralph Clodfelter shopped in Indianapolis on Tuesday of this week. Mr. and Mrs. Morris Irwin called on Mr. and Mrs. Vem Campbell of Crawfrodsville on Sunday evening.

There has been widespread speculation that the government would take direct action to try to boost 1967 production to build up the dwindling reserves. Most observers feel such action-if it comes-would be in the form of a reduction in the minimum acreage diversion required under the government feed grain program, or an increase in the price support

loan rate.

So far, there has been no official indication of what the government plans to do, if any-

thing.

Agriculture officials say unofficially, however, that any decision will probably be put off until about the end of April. That would give policymakers a chance to study the outlook in view of a government crop report to be Issued next Monday and a full report on total grain stocks due on April 24. Waiting that long might also give officials a better forecast on weather prospects, which would have a major effect on expected production.
