Meanwhile, devoted reporters political and milihave been tary busy piecing together the curious interim story of how the decisions were made. They have refused to accept the leaked, or orchestrated, accounts but haw done some painful digging of their own, striving to be as objective as humanly possible, even while they know that no one who cares deeply in a human way can pretend to a total godlike detachment. Actually, there were five Cambodian decisions, not the single Nixon decision that. most have focused on. One was that Premier Lon Nol and his brother offiwh.ch cers to despose Prince Sihanouk opened the flood gates of history. Sihanouk had reigned for 15 years, and the Lon Nol group may have been nursing its discontents for a long time. But overthrow' was not the result of a considered, mature decision. It was haphazardly of forced on Lon Nol by Sihanouk himself who w as off in Paris, carousing or intriguing or both. Bargaining With Hanoi , While he was away, Lon Nol was bargaining with Hanoi about loosening up on .the stranglehold that 60,000 North Vietnamese troops had on Cambodia. To prod Hanoi and strengthen his own hand, demLon Nol egged on some onstrations in Phnom Penh. Sihanouk, in Paris, made it clear that he would dismiss Lon Nol on his return, and to save his own power and skin (and, as he saw it, his country) Lon Nol, iijstead of waiting to be sacked, sacked Sihanouk.

We know now that the disease occurs in about one of 500 Negro births and is a cause for progressive disability and a shortened life expectancy. The disorder is hereditary, and stems from a genetic mutation involving changes in the molecular structure of the hemoglobin (iron) in the red cells. Today a simple blood test (Sickledex) demonstrates whether the individual carries the . d trait.

The next three decisions flowed from the first. Number 2 was the Soviet decision. After Sihanouk, getting the news of his overthrow at Moscow, had refused a Soviet offer to fly him back to Phnom Penh in order to reclaim his throne, the Soviet leaders decided in their cold pragmatic fashion to do business with the Lon Nol regime, to save face for both sides on the issue of the troops in Cambodia. But when Hanoi was obdurate, Peking decided in its favor. Sihanouks Decision This was linked with decision No. 4 Sihanouks own decision to get his power back by any means, even if it meant becoming a ward of Peking and Hanoi and setting up a government - in - exile which would inevitably become their puppet. Of such stuff vanity, thirst for power, rationalizations about ones coundecisions are try's interests made. The fifth decision President Nixons was presumably different in its methods from Jhe authoritarian decisions in Phonm Penh, Moscow, Hanoi and at Peking both by Mao and Sihanouk. It w'as meant to be a decision in a democracy. But in the shaping of foreign policy, it is a presidential democracy, and the most thorough current accounts of it show that, while it was an anguished decision, it was the Presidents own, taken after a series of conferences (notably in a group of seven on Sunday, April 26, then in a group of five on Monday, NORTH 019J 4 A 32 WEST EAST A JSC S?64 A O J2 AQ87I OQ43 A J 1915 AQI JI k?

The President would have been wiser and better advised if he had brought two or three congressional figures into his deliberations. He didnt, mostly (one supposes) because they would have been unsympathetic. It now appears from the most recent researches that his main purpose was to keep the Lon Nol regime from toppling and to prevent Cambodia from being taken over by the Communists. A Matter of Phrasing or that is a tenable basis wrong, Right for decision. But the President, after doodling on his scratch pad in agony and watching the movie Patton for a second time and staying up sleeplessly for the better part of two nights, decided to phrase his decision not in terms of saving the Cambodian regime but in terms of saving American troops. That is to say, he phrased it not in terms of tackling new problems related to the larger Indochinese situation but in terms of a tactical - strategic war decision. Hence, the reliance on the generals and the exclusion of congressional figures. Hence, also, the inconsistencies that have now emerged between the rhetoric he used and the actual facts about the great key control center that no one ever caught up with and about the contradictory dangers of enemy hrusts toward Saigon and toward Phnom Penh. The real count one has against the President, regardless of whether his decision was wrong or right, is the lack of candor and the excess of tactical maneuver that he used in presenting it. If he comes to understand this, it may save him and America and our friends abroad from a good deal of grief in the FRIDAY, SATURDAY AND SUNDAY A Divlslen of S.S.
