...Thieu still has a chance to have his way if the Senate approves the measure and sends it back to the House. But if nothing else, the exchange demonstrated that the fledgling constitutional rule begun last fall amid such high hopes was still alive and functioning despite all the havoc wrought by the Communists in the last month...
...Cambodia, volatile Prince Norodom Sihanouk declared "civil war" on local Viet Minh and Communist infiltrators from Thailand, who are raising havoc in Battambang province, and accused the Communists of tying up with the subversive Thai Patriotic Front to cause trouble.
