DITS press battle near Phnom Penh PHNOM PENH (UPI) Pro-Communist rebels pressed closer to Phnom Penh today with a series of attacks that overran a key government position on the Mekong River and captured the former royal capital of Oudong only 18 miles away. Artillery and mortar shells hit the refu city and airport again today on the eve of an American airlift of food and Chinese merchants closed their shops for fear food riots would spread to Phnom Penh. Thursday is the fifth anniversary of the Lon Nol government whose ouster of Prince Norodom Sihanouk touched off five years of bloody warfare that turned the once prosperous kingdom into a scene of devastation. U.S. officials in Washington predicted country will fall to the Communists within a "few weeks" without additional military aid of $222 million.

Military sources said the Mekong River post of Peam Reang Loeu fell into Communist hands in a battle in which the Communists drove off government planes and a fleet of government river gunboats, sinking one. Fate of the defenders was unknown. It was the second time this year the Communists have. captured Peam Reang, 35 miles southeast of Phnom Penh, and it means the rebels effectively control all of the Mekong River. Its fall also probably dooms the besieged naval base at Neak Luong, six miles to the north, military sources said.

The sources also said government plans to sweep Communist mines in the Mekong River may be abandoned. Communist troops have severed the waterways after sinking two barges and one tug Feb. 6 and forced the rest of a convoy back into South Vietnamese waters. The U.S. airlift will begin Thursday by commercial jets which will ferry to Phnom Penh 583 tons of rice per day.

The jets are under a 30-day contract with the U.S. government to ferry American rice to feed Phnom Penh's two million residents. The rebel troops Tuesday overran the former imperial city of Oudong, 18 miles northwest of Phnom Penh, posing an immediate threat to Sala Lek Pram, provincial capital, about five miles to the north, along Highway 5, the sources said. The provincial capital, like Oudong, had been captured by Communist troops, then regained by troops of President Lon Nol last year, after heavy bombings. Communist troops also stepped up their attacks on all government positions around Phnom Penh Military sources said Toul Leap locality, six miles to the west, came under heavy fire despite bombings by government planes.

In Phnom Penh, frightened Chinese merchants locked their shops for fear of lootings similar to those that took place in Battambang city last week when angry mobs ransacked and burned down Chinese stores during a food shortage.

(whichever is less) into a retirement plan of your own at Placer Savings. and the high interest which Placer Savings pays on your retirement account is also tax-deductible until your retirement. What about the "I.S.P."? Well, you cannot write checks against your Keogh Retirement Plan and you cannot withdraw it before retirement without paying back taxes and a penalty. That's why we call it "Impulsive Spending Protection" "I.S.P." Even if you're not self-employed, if you're working at a permanent job, and have no retirement plan, there's a new tardeductible retirement plan (I.R.A.) available to you.

These plans are a little too complicated to explain in a newspaper ad, but they're legal, practical ways for you to save on taxes and save for a more secure future You're cordially invited to drop in, call or write for the money-saving details.
