to meet you for years You are in real life the role that I play in the movies 11 Ross Perot it By KIT BAUMAN Dallas Times Herald DALLAS Arthur Simdns clearly was ill at ease Sitting near the podium where Dgllas Computer magnate Ross Perot stood he chomped his cigar and shifted his hulking body with all of a cowboy at a cock taif party Bull Simons was a hero here but a hero out of his element They were saying ho master minded the largest Jail break in his tory'just to get two Perot employees out of an Iranian jail But the former Green Beret colonel looked like he just wanted to go home Wtjen he rose to speak he talked about the weak kneed quibblers of the world who have done what Perot says he's done Ills list included armies and governments "I spent my whole life in high risk situations" said Simons who in 1961 commanded the US Army and Cen tral Intelligence Agency's hush hush White Star operation to organize against the Communists in Laos In 1965 he headed the elite SOG Norlh group that sent intelli gence teams into North Vietnam "I know any other company In the world that would have tried something like this" Simons said of the paramilitary raid into Iran fin anced by Perot's Electronic Data Systems There aren't many 60 yenr old ex army colonels who might have tried it either Simons who last week led the commando style operatioh that ena bled two EDS employees to escape from Iran in 1970 led a similar type of raid into North Vietnam in an un successful effort to free American prisoners of war Simons then an active Army colo nel and now retired and living in lorida commanded a raiding party of some 50 Special orces and Air orce special air warfare volunteers in the Nov 21 1970 raid on a prison eamp at Son Tay about 23 miles west of Hanoi The attack force landed In about 10 helicopters at the prisoner com pound only to discover the esti mated 70 to 100 American prisoners believed to have been held there had been moved One member of the commando force was slightly wounded by rifle fire in the raid and one helicopter was destroyed intentionally after it crash landed In the prison com pound But the entire raiding party returned without suffering a serious casualty The raid and the daring of Simons captured headlines around the world jyhen it was dis closed three days later by then Sec retary of Defense Melvin Laird At side as he revealed details of the raid stood Simons much in the same way as he flanked Perot Mon day at a news conference at EDS headquarters in north Dallas There was a big difference be tween then and now however In 1970 Simons had failed to rescue a single American from North Viet nam Monday Simons more successful had the best people in the world highly sophisticated machines and everything I asked for I got without bureaucratic quibbling around without military property officers asking you why you need it without delays in the military establish ment" Simons reminisced almost blissfully "Everything you asked for you got instantly Even over 8000 miles it was delivered as fast as it could get there" At the timcld the abortive rescue mission in 1970 the United States was trying unsuccessfully to ex change American POWS for thou sands of North Vietnamese and Vietcong prisoners in South Viet nam The administration believed that a dramatic rescue of American POWs would prompt the North Viet namese to reconsider the prisoner exchanges they had rejected Its effect however was minimal except in terms of a moral booster for supporters of the war No further raids were carried out and it was several more years before any American POWs were released During the same general time that Simons led the rescue mission II Ross Perot was involved in an effort of his own to win the release of American POWs Earlier in 1969 he announced the creation of United We Stand to focus attention upon the plight of the POWs and revealed plans to airlift 28 tons of Christmas gifts to Ameri can prisoners At his own expense Perot and a group of journalists few to Thailand and negotiated with North Vietnam ese officials for the right to fly his Christmas cargo to Hanoi His efforts came to nothing but three months later in early 1970 he mounted another effort This time he announced plans to lead an Inspec tion team of 125 newsmen and wives of POWs on tours of prison camps in South Vietnam He reiterated his re quests for the release of American prisoners but his negotiations again proved fruitless When he eventually returned to the United States he had traveled more than 70000 miles and had spent an estimated $2 million of his own rnoney He did not give up hope of effecting the release of the POWs however and in 1973 Perot said he had created and financed an elabo rate private spy network that bribed Communist officials for information abf it the POWs in North Vietnam.
