The first Mekong River convoy in more than a week was ap- proaching Phnom Penh and made the trip with only one incident. One of five tankers was hit by several rounds of rifle fire and set aflame, but crewmen were able to put out the fire in two hours. Kompong Cham, once a rich rub- ber center and resort town, had a population of about 70,000 before major 'military operations in the area began. Recent refugees had added to that figure, although an exodus started once the battle for the city began. Sar Hor indicated the enemy had suffered too much for another seri- ous attack soon. "If we had had American air sup- port it would have been easier. But we have been forced to rely on our own strength," he said.
