WASHINGTON — An Army lab
oratory has identif ied the remains of
[ six American servicemen killed dur
ing the Vietnam War, the Pentagon
announced Tuesday.
The identifications were made
over the past month at the Army’s
Central Identification Laboratory in
| Honolulu, Hawaii, following the re
turn of the remains to U.S. officials
i in Hanoi, said spokesman Michael 1.
i Burch.
The Vietnamese had said they
were returning the remains of five
individuals thought to be American
servicemen, but extensive tests at the
lab produced six positive identifica
tions, Burch said.
Four of the six men identified
were Air Force officers who were
shot down in their aircraft over
North Vietnam and subsequently
listed as missing in action. The oth
ers — an Army officer and a Marine
Corps officer — were listed as pris
oners of war who were known to
have died after being captured, the
Pentagon said.
The Pentagon identified the men
as:
• Air Force Col. Melvin J. Killian,
of Council Bluffs, Iowa, reported
lost over North Vietnam on Sept. 30,
1965. 4
• Air Force Maj. Cleveland S. v
Harris, of Birmingham, Ala., re
ported lost over North Vietnam on
Feb. 29, 1968.
• Air Force Maj. Chambliss M.
Chesnutt, of Little Rock, Ark., re
ported lost over North Vietnam on
Sept. 30, 1965.
• Air Force Capt. Michael D.
Chwan, of Bayonne, N.J., reported
lost over North Vietnam Sept. 30,
1965.
• Army Sgt. Gerasimo Arroyo-
Bae/., of Maunabo, Puerto Rico, re
ported as having been captured in
South Vietnam on March 24, 1969,
and subsequently dying in captivity.
• Marine Sgt. Robert C. Sher
man, of Danville, Ill., reported as
having been captured in South Viet
nam on June 24, 1967, and subse-
quently dying in captivity.
Burch said Arroyo-Baez and
Sherman were the first American
servicemen whose remains had been
recovered after being captured and
held in POW camps in South Viet
nam.
Since 1974, not counting the six
newly identified servicemen, Hanoi
has returned the remains of 93
Americans lost in Vietnam and one
lost in Laos, including 23 who died
in captivity in North Vietnam.

Former secretary of interior
dealing with Indian tribes

WASHINGTON — Two years af
ter declaring that Indian reserva
tions demonstrated “the failures of
socialism,” former Interior Secretary
James G. Watt is peddling business
deals among tribal leaders in the
name of old-fashioned American
capitalism.
Watt also is traveling the lecture
circuit, heaping praise on the “Rea
gan revolution” and rebuking the
press and Eastern liberals. He aver-
ges three or four speeches a week,
nd is especially popular on college
ampuses, according to his agent,
Harry Walker Inc. of New York.
Watt charges $10,000 these days
or speaking his mind, something
hat cost him his Gabinet post in Oc-
ober1983.
He is writing a book entitled “T he
>ourage of a Conservative.” He in-
ists that “I don’t have any political
mbitions,” and dismisses rumors
that he might run for governor of
his native Wyoming next year.
1'oday, Watt remains a
staunch conservative, Rea
gan loyalist, scourge of en
viron m en talists, /1 on -fa n
of the Beach Boys and
tart-tongued champion of
private enterprise and a
strong military.
A remark about appointing a
Iblack, a woman, “two Jews and a
cripple” to a federal commission
.ended Watt’s political career. After
Hie resigned on Oct. 9, 1983, Watt
Keclared that he would “continue
l our crusade ... to establish spiritual
■reedom and political liberty in this
Country, for that is the real battle-
[round.”
Today, Watt remains a staunch
conservative, Reagan loyalist,
scourge of environmentalists, non-
fan of the Beach Boys and tart-tong
ued champion of private enterprise
and a strong military. Among his
close friends, he is known affectiona
tely as “the Bald Eagle.”
A few blocks from the White
House, Watt runs his own legal and
business consulting firm. Mounted
prominently on the wall of his outer
office is a wood-ca,rvecl seal of the
secretary of interior, with the buf
falo depicted facing right instead of
the traditional left.
Watt is partner with Roy H.
Sampsel, a former assistant interior
secretary for Indian affairs, in an
other firm called First Americans
Co. which promotes development
projects on Indian reservations.
Watt is reported to have arranged
one recent deal in which the Coman-
ches of Oklahoma agreed to let a
Philadelphia company build a $10
million hotel complex near Lawton,
Okla., in exchange for majority in
terest in the property.
Watt and Sampsel also are nego
tiating with Arapahoe and Shoshone
Indians for an oil and natural gas
project on the Wind River Reserva
tion in central Wyoming. If the deal
goes through. Watt says, tribal in
come would increase $100 million in
. one year.
According to local press reports.
Watt and his associates would re
ceive a 14 percent consulting royalty
for production on existing oil and
gas fields jointly owned by the two
tribes.In addition, the Indians would
be paid production royalties escalat
ing to 50 percent after 25 years on
800,000 acres of undeveloped tracts.
Some Indian leaders are wary of
doing business with Watt, whom
they remember not only for his “fail
ures of socialism” remark but the
Reagan administration’s cuts in fed
eral aid to tribal governments.
“It kind of concerns me,” said
Burnett Whiteplume, a member of
the Arapahoe Business Gouncil. “He
had tl>fe chance to help us out as sec
retary of the interior, and he did
not.”
Said Alfred Ward, co-chairman of
the Shoshone tribal council in
Wyoming: “I’m thinking of a car
toon with Mr. Watt next to an oil
well saying, ‘The only good Indian is
one with oil’.”
