SPECIAL TO THE NEW YORK TIMES
Published: January 8, 1990

LEAD: In the last year, the Phnom Penh Government has recruited increasing numbers of non-Communist professionals who were either students or public officials associated with the old Sihanouk and Lon Nol Governments.

In the last year, the Phnom Penh Government has recruited increasing numbers of non-Communist professionals who were either students or public officials associated with the old Sihanouk and Lon Nol Governments.

Kung Sam Ol, a Deputy Prime Minister, worked at the Agriculture Ministry in the Lon Nol years from 1970 to 1975. Chheng Phon, the Minister of Information and Culture, was a fine arts professor then.

French-Trained Physicist

Taing Sarim, the Commerce Minister, was a student in Paris, and Chhay Tan, the Finance Minister, was a student in Phnom Penh in the 1970's. The Minister of Public Health, Yit Kim Seng, is a French-trained physician. None of them are Communists.

The United Front for the Construction and Defense of Cambodia plays a crucial role in the nation's politics, serving as an official bridge between the Government and the people. Ten of the 17 members of its standing committee are former officials from the Lon Nol years with no record as Communists.

Religious Figures

They include religious figures and pro-Western intellectuals like Venerable Um Sum, a Buddhist monk; My Samedi, a French-trained physician who is dean of the School of Medicine in Phnom Penh; Chan Ven, a writer; Venerable Tep Vong, the patriarch of the Buddhist clergy; Chem Snguon, a non-Communist diplomat; Khieu Kanharith, an outspoken journalist, and Lyda Sisowath, a cousin of Prince Norodom Sihanouk.

Many veterans of Mr. Lon Nol's army now serve in the Government of Prime Minister Hun Sen and as provincial governors.
