WASHINGTON (AP)—The United States was for-
mally notified by the Cambodian foreign ministry Mon-
day that diplomatic relations have been broken.
The state department said the United States has no
choice in the matter. It is an accomplished fact.
The Cambodian break, which still permits consular
relations, may have an effect on the proposed nine-pow-
er conference on Cambodia which Prince Norodom Siha-
nouk has urged since mid-March.
However, Sihanouk, who wants the meeting to guar-
antee his country’s neutrality .has recently raised ob-
jections to South Viet Nam and the United States attend-
ing the conference.
U. S. officials said it would not be impossible for the
United States and Cambodia to sit at the conference ta-
ble after the break in diplomatic relations.
It was not known here precisely what impelled Siha-
nouk to break diplomatic relations. He has been in-
censed by an article in Newsweek magazine which al-
leged the queen of Cambodia was involved in corruption,
including financial interests in a number of bordellos.

41st State
Oklahoma fell to 41st place
among the states in the
number of pupils per class-

schools for 1963.
The NEA “rankings of the

ma had a pupil-teacher ratio
that fall of 26.9. The national
average was 25.5
Oklahoma’s estimated av-
erage salary for teachers in

current school year is $5,315.

The national average ia $6-

Per capita income for 1963
(latest date figures availa-

Supply Corridor
Through Capital
Has Been Opened
SANTO DOMINGO (AP) — U. S. forces opened a sup-
ply corridor through Santo Domingo early Monday in a
link-up operation amounting to an encirclement of rebel
forces in the heart of this beleaguered capital.
One U. S. Marine was killed and two wounded by sni-
per action not related to the link-up. This brings to a total
of five the official count of U. S. military men dead, plus
38 wounded, in four days of action involving U. S. forces.
The United States began rushing another 4,500 troops
to the Dominican Republic Monday after President John-
son said the rebel uprising had been taken over by Com-
munist conspirators directed from abroad.
In Washington, the United States asked that Latin
American nations “that are capable of doing so” make
increase possible.

posed some fund reshuffling

The San Salvador airport

were canceled.
Services Cut Off
As a precautionary meas-

and telephone services were
cut off after the strong early
morning quake. This was to
prevent fires and flooding in
the event of damage to the
power and water systems.
Later Monday morning these
services were restored.
Most of the inhabitants of
