Jul. 07, 1953 - The Defiant King Return to Cambodia. Demands Complete Independence for His Country. King Norodom Sihanouk of Cambodia received a great welcome when he returned to his country recently - from Siam to which he fled as part of his campaign for Cambodia's Independence from France. Although he has returned to Cambodia he refuses to re-enter his capital until his campaign has been won. He is supported by what has been termed as the most loyal soldiers in the world - Cambodians, mostly barefoot - and all carrying wooden rifles.
