    "ocrText": "8\nNBC/CBS note that Cambodia has approached NVN for negotiations\nthrough the Soviet Embassy in Phnom Penh. Hanoi says it's too busy\nstudying US proposal, said CBS and that's Cambodia's worry -- a\nceasefire that would leave them occupied\nThe agreement Phnom\nPenh is reportedly considering would give the Communists use of\nsanctuaries on the Mekong.\nNBC with a very gloomy appraisal of situation in Cambodia where\nthings are getting worse. Soldiers who' had enough defeats and seen\nenough corruption are deserting. Emphasis on black market sale by\nCambodian officers of US aid goods. War is going badly. Lon Nol\npromotes incompetent, corrupt officers and while this may help him\nstay in power, NBC reporter Phil Brady said public and soldiers are\ngetting tired of it all. Cambodia is a sideshow war propped up by US\nand NVN has the power to decide how many will die.\nThe American Legion said it opposes amnesty for VN deserters\nScotty Reston's VN vet son calls for universal amnesty - - \"reconciliation,\nnot retribution\" in a New Republic article.\nN. IRELAND\nIt's never been SO dangerous, led Chancellor on NBC. The most\nintense pitch in 3 years, said CBS. Renewed tension and prospect of\nmore violence, said ABC. Retaliatory bombings; mobs in Belfast;\n\"anarchy\" in Londonderry where strike was 100% successful; Irish\nRepublic recalled her Amb. to Britain; Catholics say British fired\nfirst tho that question may never be resolved and Bernadette Devlin\ncalled Britain's Maulding a \"murdering hypocrite\" and proceeded to\nscratch and slug him. Articulate and forceful on all nets, Devlin\nsharply attacked British troops for their presence and their rule by\n\"the law of blind force. 11 Would she apologize to Maulding? \"I'm\nsorry I didn't get at his throat, 11 she bitterly responded. He's a\n\"murderer, thug and liar\" and responsible for the 13 dead so far\nas well as the 13 soldiers whose lives will be taken by IRA.\nA priest on NBC film said there was no provocation for the soldiers\nto fire; their actions were \"utterly disgraceful, 11 nobody fired at them.\nBut a British soldier on NBC and CBS said that was \"absolutely\nridiculous;\" a sub-machine and M-1s were fired."
