Simultaneously, a Cambodian force of 1,000 infantrymen opened a drive northeast of Phnom Penh and encountered no military attaches who watched the Soviet military machinery roll past the Lenin mausoleum at the side of the squaie Saturday said that they noticed no new equipment. A total of 317 pieces of equipment, two four SAM-- 3 missiles, including long Galosh intercontinental ballistic missiles and 22 2 tanks rumbled past the mausoleum under the gaze of the countrys top leaders, including Com- resistance. munist The North Vietnamese and Viet Cong troops, apparently, were unwilling or unable to join battle, at least for the moment. One possible explanation was that the enemy forces had faded back to hideouts to regroup and resupply. in Great Trouble Lt. Gen. Do Cao Tri, the peppery South Vietnamese general who commands six of Saigons seven task forces in Cambodia, offered this analysis: The enemy is in great trouble in Cambodia. The North Vietnamese never succeeded in building up the local infrastructure organization with the majoriy of the Cambodian people to support their mili- tary activities. The North Vietnamese are forced to split their forces over a very large area to cover all their military activities. Their units are in a weaker position not able to put forth any big attacks. 1 Takes Initiative The South Vietnamese army in Cam-bedcontinues to impose pressure on the enemy by taking the initiative. Tri said his task forces may push as much as 50 miles into Cambodia, to provincial capital of Kratie on the east bank of the Mekong River, to maintain pressure on his presently elusive foe. Even as he addressed a Saigon luncheon of loreign correspondents, Saigon and Phnom Penh military headquarters reported no contacts of any size by their forces in the field. ia Sce Page 11, Column I At Berlin Hite Sniper Fire Hits Red Soldier in British Section 120-fo- T-6- Party Chief Leonid I.
