VFW Head Sees Some POWs Released Before Christmas
Hewrert Rainwater national commander of the Veterans of Foreign Wars says he has inside information that some American prisoners of war will be released before Christmas. Speaking at the VFW national convention in Dallas he noted the group has worked for a year on prisoner releases and cautioned against expecting all POWs to be freed. He claimed North Vietnam may release part of the prisoners to pressure U.S. troop withdrawals from Indochina, and cited talks with North Vietnamese representatives in India. Rainwater estimated about 600 Americans remain held in Indo China, including some in North Vietnam.
