His last Vietnam-connected role was in "To Heal a Nation." He also starred with Arnold Schwarzenegger in "Predator" and with Don Johnson in "Cease Fire." The latter was taken from the third act of "Vietnam Trilo--gy," in which Johnson played his role from the stage and Chaves played his best friend. In "The Gambler III," he played Irondog, a Lakota Sioux. "That role put me back in touch with my Indian heritage," he said. "Ironhorse was written as a Blackfoot, but I asked to play him as my own heritage. My mother was part Cherokee, Scottish and Irish.

Wells' "War of the Worlds" was a Victorian classic that became a granddaddy of science fiction in 1897.

Paramount purchased the film rights in 1925 for director Cecil B. De Mille. For nearly 30 years the script passed through many hands until it reached producer George Pal. His 1953 production won an Oscar for special effects and is considered a film classic. Chaves was born in Florida, the son of a Marine Corps officer.

Chaves served in the Army in Vietnam and co-wrote a play about his experiences, "Tracers." He and eight other veterans wrote and acted in the play, which won the 1980 Los Angeles Drama Critics Award for best ensemble and the Theatre World Award for outstanding new talent. Besides Los Angeles, they presented the play in New York and London. He also starred in "Vietnam LOS ANGELES (AP) One more thing to worry about: The invading Martians are still with us and determined to take over Earth in "War of the Worlds."

WAKEMAN as heard on NEWSRADIO 14 WIZM-AM "REACH FOR YOUR DREAM" I received a mailing from the Zig Ziglar Corporation and on the envelope was an eye-catching phrase. It said, "You were designed for accomplishment, engineered for success, and endowed with the seeds of greatness." Here is a statement applicable to any normal individual. To say a person is "Designed for accomplishment" is to suggest the reaching for a goal.

If one has no goal, one denies his or her own makeup. In that humans are, in Ziglar's terminology engineered for success, it stands to reason that when one flounders in life and fails to experience accomplishments, that per- son develops frustration and tends to feel unfulfilled. It doesn't have to be this way. We are endowed with seeds of greatness. What do you think you would like to achieve and believe you could if conditions were right? Set a goal to change the conditions, and then reach for your dream.

Bodies are warped out of shape and tentacles pop out of people's throbbing stomachs. These delicacies of trash cinema have become so thoroughly routine they hardly create a stir. The same goes for the tools the miners use to defend themselves: high-tech chainsaws and multi-burner flame-throwers.

tired idea. Nor can director George P. Cosmatos, the man who, gave us such dubious pop classics as "Rambo II" and "Cobra." About the only positive thing that can be said about "Leviathan" is that its production values are superior to those found in "Deep Star Six," another underwater fiasco from this year. Leviathan is playing at Valley Square Theatres. The cast has the right credentials for this kind of waterlogged thriller.

Most notable is Richard Crenna, who plays the station's doctor, a once proud researcher whose career is in decline. Like the rest of the crew, Crenna is subject to the whims of the greedy corporation that employs him, but finds him expendable. Not surprisingly, the actors can't put a fresh face on such a I A I By ROBERT DENERSTEIN Scripps Howard News Service "Leviathan" is the latest in an apparently endless string of "Alien" ripoffs. This slack, unoriginal thriller takes a familiar formula and submerges it under 16,000 feet of sea water. That's about all the depth you'll find in the movie's collection of industrial-strength settings, futuristic dive suits, oozing slime, sharp-toothed monsters and hard-boiled characters.

Peter Weller stars as a geologist who presides over an underwater mining crew composed of two women, a Hispanic, a black man, a slob who makes crude jokes, a union steward and a physician. It's clear from the start that most of these folks will die. This time, the mechanism of death involves a genetic mutation that turns people into slithering sea monsters. The "disease" is spread through some Soviet vodka that had been spiked with a gene-altering drug during an experiment designed to create a creature that could live underwater. The lethal bottle of vodka is found on a sunken Soviet ship the miners discover by chance.
