...their battle with the King's army, both the U.S. Sixth Fleet and Israeli forces were poised to intervene on Hussein's side. But the King's tanks and planes repelled the Syrians.

OMNIBUS CRIME CONTROL. This is the only measure aimed specifically at nationwide street crime. It would extend for another three years the Johnson Administration's Crime Control and Safe Streets Act, which authorizes the use of federal funds to train and equip state and local police agencies.

Washington has quadrupled its arms aid to $40 million, but Cambodians say they need five times that amount to equip and train a 200,000-man army by 1971. The U.S. is unwilling to comply. Lon Nol hopes that other nations will help, but additional aid to date has come only from Thailand, South Viet Nam and Australia, which donated 50 Land Rovers and radios and ponchos...
