WEDNESDAY, MARCH 11, 1970 TEN Cambodians Protesting Infiltration PHNOM PENH, Cambodia (AP) Young demonstrators protesting the infiltration of Viet Cong troops into Cambodia's border provinces attacked the Viet and North Vietnamese embassies today.

CHANGES TUNE During the early years of the Vietnam war, when it appeared to him that the Viet Cong and North were going to win, Cambodia's ruler, Prince Norodom Sihanouk, publicly ignored the presence on his territory of Viet Cong and North Vietnamese forces and repeatedly castigated the United States and the Saigon government for any intrusions by their forces across his border." With the shift in recent years of the military tide in South Vietnam, Prince Sihanouk has grown increasingly friendly toward the United States and has shown increasing about the Communist intruders into his country. The prince wrote last month in a magazine he publishes that unless the United States maintains a presence in Southeast Asia, all of the Indochinese peninsula will be taken over by Hanoi and Peking. "We will become the Czechoslovakias of Asia," he said.
