(Rec. 11.40 a.m.) NEW YORK, August 9
'The Associated Press correspondent at Dalat (Indo-China) says that French officials announced that 500 men from Thailand attacked the Siem Reap hotel for military convalesants. Both sides suffered losses and the Cambodian guard was unable to beat off the attackers, who were not identified.
Siem Reap is the last important settlement between Indo-China and the rice bowl area, which France is demanding back from Thailand. Officials considered the attack might be the first military appearance of the Free Cambodian movement centered in Thailand.
