The Boston Globe Saturday, November 27, 1971 Enemy base in Cambodia hers blasted by US bom Laos, according to the Associated Press. It reported informants said sensors planted along the 3000-mile trail network are registering 150 to 200 truck movements a day, compared to only 10 daily during the monsoon season that ended last month. Road-building squads also are at work despite daily US air strikes. "We expect a big supply push at this time of the year," one source reported. "Most of the convoy activity is still at the northern end of the trail, on both sides of the Laos-North Vietnam border." He added it would take 90 days for these supplies to reach three North Vietnamese divisions hiding in rubber plantation country along the Cambodian border northwest of Saigon, meaning they cannot be resup-plied until February.

This could be one of the reasons why the enemy has avoided contact so far with a South Vietnamese force maneuvering around Krek, a Cambodian town near the border. It is known that two of the North Vietnamese divisions headquartered in the area, the 5th and 7th, used up a lot of food and ammunition in an Reuter PHNOM PENH, Cambodia US bombers yesterday destroyed an important support base for a large Communist force which halted a big Cambodian army operation on Rte six in northern Cambodia, a Cambodian high command spokesman said. Secondary explosions lasting more than an hour indicated that the bombers hit ammunition dumps in ths Amcar Chandong rubber plantation, about 60 miles from here, he said. Cambodian officers at the front close to the plantation on highway six said a variety of American planes had been making air strikes in the area. The Communists moved out from their stronghold in the plantation last month to cut a Cambodian task force thrusting northward to clear the highway to the provincial capital of Kompong Thom.

In another development, South Vietnamese forces looking for enemy bases pursued an elusive foe in east-, era Cambodia yesterday amid reports of a big North Vietnamese supply buildup on the Ho Chi Minh trail in ran-- 1 A i NAMES FACES IN THE NEWS Simas Kndirka, the Lithuanian seaman who unsuccessfully tned to defect to the United States aboard a Coast Guard cutter, has been disciplined for refusing political instruction at a Soviet labor camp. According to an underground Soviet journal, Kudirka, 43, has been deprived of his privilege to buy tobacco and food to supplement camp rations. He is serving a 10-year sentence for treason. Al Capp, the cartoonist, is expected to stand trial on morals charges in Eau Claire, in January or February. Judge Thomas Barland of the Eau County Court disclosed the probable time after turning over jurisdiction of the case to Circuit Court Judge Merrill Farr.

The charges stem from a complaint filed by a 21-year-old married coed at the University of Wisconsin-Eau Claire. Capp, creator of LiT Abner, has denied the charges. Secretary General Thant will be discharged today from hospital treatment for an ulcer, and will be able to resume his duties Dec. 6 "on a part-time basis," a UN spokesman said. Meanwhile, the 62-year-old UN chief has been advised by his doctors to remain at Ms home in New York.

Thant has been in the hospital since Nov. 2. Tallahassee Democrat reporter Tom Jolley, who renounced his American citizenship in Canada, said that US immigration authorities have given him until Feb. 7 to leave the United States voluntarily or be deported. He fled to Canada in 1967 when his Bremen, draft board refused him a conscientious objector exemption from military sevice.

He mailed his draft card back to Bremen, and later returned to the United States and graduated from the University of Georgia in 1969.

Saigon headquarters reported three South Vietnamese soldiers wounded in their five-day-old offensive along Highway 7. 60 to 90 miles northwest of Saigon. Government paratroopers have advanced 10 miles northwest of Krek to Chrum, while rangers and armor have pushed 20 miles east of Krek to Mimot.

The latter town is 25 miles from Snuol, where South Vietnamese forces suffered a disastrous defeat with 500 casualties last May. Enemy forces appear to have pulled back, at least for the moment, before the advancing South Vietnamese. They had plenty of time to do so, since Saigon headquarters announced two days ago that Mimot and Snuol were key targets. Associated Press photographer Huynh Cong Ut, who was with South Vietnamese rangers when they reached Mimot, said they found 100 empty bunkers and drew only scattered enemy fire from small rearguard units. One ranger, was wounded.

5 countries in SE Asia set neutrality rule United Press International KUALA LUMPUR, Malaysia Five Southeast Asian nations, four of them with military ties to Western powers, yesterday declared that their region should be made neutral and kept free of foreign interference. Foreign ministers from Indonesia, the Philippines, Thailand, Malaysia and Singapore the member states of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) reached agreement on neutrality after negotiations by lower-ranking diplomats at one point had bogged down. But in the end a smiling Malaysian Prime Minister Tun Abdul Razak, ASEAN's prime mover for neutrality, told newsmen that all five ministers had agreed to sign a "declaration of peace, freedom and neutrality" today. He called the declaration, full details of which will be disclosed at the signing, "a significant initiative by the five countries to show the world they can take care of themselves." Philippine Foreign Secretary Carlos P. Romulo, representing the most skeptical of the ASEAN governments toward neutrality, said the concept could at most be applied only in general terms.

But, he added: "I think we are agreed on a common aspiration to be left alone in peace by the great powers, and to be able to pursue our ways without the interference of any of them." In what was described as a com-promisj move, the ministers agreed the neutrality proposal would be carried to an ASEAN heads of government meeting in Manila sometime next year. Razak announced a committee of top ASEAN diplomats would convene in Kuala Lumpur to study neutrality and recommend steps to bring it about. Yesterday's events did not produce a definition of neutrality beyond general outlines, nor was it revealed to which countries outside ASEAN, if any, it might apply. Additional details were promised at today's ceremony for the signing of the neutrality declaration. Diplomats said the conference was the most far-reaching ASEAN attempt at regional cooperation since the group was established four years ago.

i i United Press International WASHINGTON The Federal Power Commission said yesterday there is an adequate reserve of electric power for winter peak loads in most sect-ions of the country but that some plants are low on fuel and a severe winter could cause problems in the Pacific Northwest. The commission noted a general improvement in generating capacity in all the six general regions of the country except the East Central, which nonetheless has an adequate winter reserve. Winter weather produces the greatest demand on power companies in most of the country when heating systems are in constant operation. The FPC measures reserves in terms of the amount of generating capacity compared with the estimated peak winter lqad. The Northeast, for example, has a reserve of 29.5 percent, meaning it could generate 29.5 percent more power than its expected peak need.

The reserve is needed to compensate for equipment breakdowns and errors in computing demand. Reserves for other regions are: 4-. East Central 21.1 percent, Southeast 18.6, West Central 27.8, South Central 64.8, and West 19.2. The over-all figure for the country, excluding Alaska and Hawaii, was 27.2 percent. Individual power systems within these regions may have inadequate reserves, but most systems are hooked into power grids that allow them automatically to draw current from nearby systems.

The commission said it is not likely there will be a repeat of the 1965 power blackout in the East. The New York power pool has a reserve of 28.8 percent, "a more than adequate reserve for the 1971-72 winter peak despite the limited interconnection facilities with adjacent systems and the company's inability to bring new base load generating capacity into service." The picture is not so bright in the Pacific Northwest. The FPC said the Northwest "is considered a critical area" during the winter. It said the Booneville power administration will not have enough capacity to meet peak loads and will have to borrow power from other systems. which often reflects official thinking, said it "caused great shock in Jerusalem." A UN announcement said the Assembly debate on the Middle East crisis would begin next Friday.

Mrs. Meir is scheduled to meet with President Nixon the day before. (Egyptian Foreign Minister Mah-moud Riad is expected in New York tomorrow, according to Reuter, for preliminary consultations with UN members and to take part in the debate. (Israeli Foreign Minfeter Abba Eban also plans to attend the debate, sources said.

They said they did not know how he managed to parachute without losing the bulky bundle. In Seattle, the Air Force revealed that as many as eight military planes were shadowing the hijacked jet at various times, but that none of the pilots saw the hijacked parachute. The ground and air search started near Woodland But FBI officials said the site was selected on "pure conjecture" since that was the last time four crew members who remained on the commandeered Northwest Airlines Boeing 727 jet had communicated with the hijacker. They spent the rest of the trip to Reno locked in the forward cabin. MOON OVER MARS Mariner 9 made this picture of the satellite Phobos on Nov.

(AP) Rogers's quotes eclipse US-Israeli talks flew to Jerusalem during the day for discussions on French reimbursement of Israel for 50 Mirage jet fighters the Israelis bought in 1966 but were never delivered. France imposed an arms embargo on Israel in 1967 after the six-day war.

According to the Associated Press, the State Department disavowed the idea yesterday that the United States might soon be sending Lance ground-to-ground missiles to Israel. Spokesman Charles W. Bray said the short-range Lance "is still in the research and development stage and still is not in the US inventory of equipment." He gave this reply concerning a New York Times Nov. 24 report that senior Pentagon officials are considering providing Israel with Lances should Soviet war plane deliveries to Egypt tip the Mideast military balance against Israel. United Press International TEL AVIV American and Israeli diplomats discussed yesterday Prime Minister Golda Meir's forthcoming visit to Washington for talks with President Nixon and the UN General Assembly debate on the Middle East crisis.

Official sources said, however, the talks were overshadowed by alleged anti-Israeli remarks attributed to US Secretary of State William P. Rogers which one newspaper said had caused "great shock" in Jerusalem. The newspaper Ma'Ariv quoted Rogers as telling a group of US senators pressing Israel's case for more Phantom warplanes that the Jewish state "was falling apart because of internal strife" and calling it "the most isolated state in the world." Israeli officials refused to comment on the Ma'Ariv report. But the Labor Federation newspaper Davar, WALTER ULBRICHT new term Walter Ulbricht, the 78-year-old former leader of East Germany's Communist regime, was reelected to a new four-year team as chairman of the Council of State. The post, which Ulbricht has held continuously since its creation in 1960 makes him East Germany's chief of state.

In giving Ulbricht a new term, the Volkskam-mer, East Germany's Parliament confounded many Western observers who had expected that he would be eased into total retirement and replaced as chairman by Premier Willi Stoph. Instead the Volkskammer reelected Stoph, 57, to a similar four-year term in his present office. Its action indicated that the top political leadership would remain unchanged for the time being. AFL-CIO President George Meany was reported resting comfortably and in "very good condition" at George Washington University Hospital. He was admitted early Thursday to the Washington, D.C.

hospital after having suffered what his doctor called a "possible spasm of the coronary arteries" Meany, 77, will probably be hospitalized at least until tomorrow.

Walworth Barbour met for 45 minutes in Tel Aviv. A similar meeting was scheduled in Washington between Israeli Ambassador Yitzhak Rabin and J. Sisco, Assistant Secretary of State and Secretary Roger's Middle East expert. Israeli radio, in its English-language report on the Eban-Barbour talks, said they dealt with Mrs. Meir's final itinerary and the UN debate, as well as with "certain hostile comments about Israel attributed this week" to Rogers.

Spokesmen said Mrs. Meir, in her meeting with President Nixon, will press Israel's case for additional Phantom jet fighters and political backing during the UN debate. Israel's ambassador to France At Northwest's Minneapolis headquarters, the airline broke its two-day silence on the incident at a news conference in which William Scott the pilot, disclosed that the crew was as surprised as anyone when the plane landed at Reno and the hijacker was gone. The bomb, a device with red cy-clinders and wires, was also missing. One of two missing parachutes would not have worked, it was disclosed yesterday.

Linn Emrick, a sport parachutist who supplied it, said he inadvertently picked a "ground training" chute when airport officials asked him for one to supplement two chutes furnished by the Air Force. The other supplementary chute was supplied by Renton Aviation. Its manufacturer said it would "work fine." United Press International WOODLAND, Wash. Deputies went from house to house yesterday in this western Washington area trying to turn up a lead to the hijacker who commandeered an airliner and escaped by parachute with 10,000 $20 bills stuffed in a white cloth bag. Other searchers slogged through fog and rain in the muddy foothills of the Cascade mountains.

But there was no trace of the swarthy, middle-aged man dressed in black who hijacked the jetliner Wednesday by brandishing a "bomb," collected a $200,000 ransom, and parachuted into the night somewhere between Seattle and Reno, Nev.
