LON NOL, 72, DIES; LED CAMBODIA IN EARLY 1970'S
1985
Overview
''If the other side took over,'' Mr. [Lon Nol] said two weeks before he left Cambodia, ''they would kill all the educated people - the teachers, the artists, the intellectuals - and that would be a step towards barbarism.'' Lon Nol was born on Nov. 13, 1913, the son of Lon Hin, a minor official in the province of Preyveng, adjoining the Vietnamese border. His grandfather was once the governor of the province. As a son of a civil servant faithful to the French administration, the young Lon Nol received a good education - elementary school in Phnom Penh, high school from 1928 to 1934 at the Lycee Chasseloup-Laubat in Saigon. He resigned his post as Prime Minister in 1967 after a serious car accident that left him hospitalized for several months. But in August 1969, faced with an economic crisis and Government corruption, the Prince called Mr. Lon Nol back into service as Prime Minister of a ''salvation Government.''
