NVN says it has a legitimate right to shoot down
any US plane that flies over its territory.

AP reports startling contrasts between the battle-
field allies of Cambodia and SVN in their first
major/operation military partnership. The ARVN seems
to have swaggered into the war. They are bristling with
modern weapons and are slick in their appearance;
courtesy of the US. The Cambodians? An impression
is that they stumbled into the war. The ARVN goes
the
into action in made-in-America jungle boots and
camouflage fatigues. The Cambodians shuffle along
at
in rubber sandals and a variety of uniforms. Some
are barefoot. The attitudes are another striking
difference. The SVN give some observers the
impression that they are cynical about the whole
thing. They stopped volunteering long ago. The
Cambodian army is a volunteer force. AP notes
another startling contrast. It's the way the ARVN
has taken over what is nominally a Cambodian
military operation. The Cambodian forces are a
poor man's army. But its soldiers always are willing
to share with visitors, even if it is only a smile.
With their US copters, artillery, and M-16's, the
ARVN look like pros. And along with this profes-
sionalism they seem, at times, more like conquerors
rather than friends giving the Cambodians a hand.
The vast Bell Telephone System has taken up the
banner of humane treatment for POW's. Northwestern
Bell will mail postcards - addressed to Hanoi and
urging humane treatment of prisoners to about 2
million customers in Minnesota, Iowa, Nebraska and
the Dakotas as enclosures in their November bills.
The Company has taken the unprecedented steps
primarily at the urging of high Washington officials
whom he would not name. Other Bell companies
will follow suit.
