S. sources reported. Every available B52 in South east Asia participated in the mas sive bombings, apparently design ed to beat Cambodia’s Khmer Rouge rebels and their North Vietnamese allies into accepting a peace settlement, the official American sources added. The wide-ranging aerial assault was reported to extend beyond tactical support for Cambodian government grounds forces and suggested a new turn in the three- year war.

That intense bombing was designed to force the North Vietnamese into ac cepting a peace agreement in Viet nam. The United States has about 200 B52 bombers on Guam and in Thailand and normally about 60 per cent of them are oper ational at any one time. Each of the eight-engine aircraft carries 30 tons of bombs. U. S. air attacks have con centrated on Communist forces edging closer to the capital of Phnom Penh and isolating it from the rest of the country by cutting off highways leading into it. Continued American bombing has raised a storm in the U. S.

The insurgents have about 40,000 combat troops in the field. They are trained!, supplied and led down to platoon level by North Vietnamese, of whom there are about 23,000 in the country. Ranged against them are about 180,000 government troops. But the army and administration are plagued by corruption and there has been mounting discontent against Premier Lon Nol as a result of rising prices and general war weariness.
